Vick Tomes POV.
It was cold out to day, but that was to be suspected considering it was November in Seattle. To add on top of that it was raining again like it did all the time. I awoke to the cold and I knew that it was a good thing to wake up to because it meant that people would be to down and upset to pick on me today, or at lest I hoped that would be the case. Most people don't like to believe it that people are depressed in the 8th grade but there are toughs of us who are. I have been for a long time and I have thought about going into my school and killing every one. No I never thought about killing my self because why should I make them happy or just be forgotten, when I can make them as miserable as they make me.
I pulled the covers down, the cool smooth silk sheets felt good against my skin. I put my feet down on the cool but some how warm felling rug and began to grab the things that I would need for my exit from the shower. I turned on the hot water and thought about my day, if I get picked on to day I'll end them. Not on my birthday they can't be that mean to anyone, or can they? I didn't know. Maybe they didn't even know that it was my birth day. It wouldn't surprise me my own mother didn't know.
I loved the feeling the hot water running down my face. I could feel that one solid bead of sweat form on my forehead. My body and the water were warm hot almost but the air was cold. It felt so good I just couldn't stop thinking and take my shower, I never wanted to leave. I fallowed the sweet down my face to my neck, then to my chest, it made it to my abbes, and then it fell to the bottom of the shower.
As my mind raced I thought why should I do it tomorrow? I had the gun. I could make them know that today was my birthday. I could make everyone know everyone. I had the bullets, I hade everything that I needed to get the job done. I would I'd do it to day.
Dalton's POV.
I awoke to the rain on my window. It was going to be a very bad week. I had just moved here from my old school and home. My actions were the reason for it as well. If I hadn't tried to kiss her even after she said no, then her parents wouldn't have pressed charges and ruined my parents reputation than, maybe we wouldn't have had to move so far from home. What could I say I have been depressed for as long as I can remember. I wanted to kill my self every day just trying to find the one reason to live and it was going to be her all the time.
So here I was 6:38 am. Getting dressed for school. I had been here for a full week now and had made only three friends, Carly, Sam, and Freddie. I had only made friends with them because Carly and Freddie lived in the same apartment building. Sam was just good friends with Carly and Freddie so she just naturally met me through them.
I was still depressed even here in a new place. I started the short walk to the school. I got there at about 7:37 almost one hour after I got up I thought. I need to sleep-in some more from now on. I walked to my locker for no real reason. I never really did anything I just listened to my mp3 player and half slept though the day.
I had seen Carly and the others but I didn't talk to them. I had no good reason to. The only reason I even called them my friends was because they were the only people who even attempted to befriend me when I got there. I didn't want to really get close to any one because I didn't want to hurt anyone like I did before.
Freddie's POV.
I awoke like I did ever morning, with my over protective mom doing a talking alarm clock impression. It was 6:30 like it was every morning (except Saturdays add Sundays). I got my shower and then got dressed quickly as I could. I wanted to get out of the life sucking grasp of my mother. I also wanted to see her angelic face, her dazzling hair, and her Olympian body, and her absolutely perfect smile. I could really sum her up in one word it would be goddess simply because it was the highest thing up in the world that was associated with beauty. Her personality was as great as the rest of her; she was sweet, funny, smart, understanding, and every other lady like thing that she could be. She was perfect in my eyes and she would forever be.
I walked out of my door to see hers opening at just that moment. I was immediately disgusted, the devil women from hell was with her. Don't get me wrong she was beautiful in her own way but that way wasn't for me. She was the opposite of the goddess. I guess that why they got along so well.
"Hi Carly" I said with such enthusiasm that I thought it wasn't me for a second who said it.
"Hi Sam" I said with Disgust and no enthusiasm. I added her as an after thought so as to not anger the goddess to much.
"Hi Freddie, how are you this morning?" the goddess had addressed me.
"Great now that you're here" I replied trying to get her to be with me.
The goddess had just blushed ever so slightly. It how ever was interrupted, by the evil one, as I thought of her.
"Ok dork quit bothering Carly you know it won't happen she's too good for a short loser like you" She said trying to put me down. She also wanted to keep down her breakfast, she had this disease that if she saw me without trying to make me cry she would hurl.
To day I didn't fell like starting with an argument, so I didn't reply. They both look stunned as I didn't say much I just kind of left them there and began to walk. I could hear the goddess behind me,
"Sam why did you have to be so mean?" She asked.
"I wasn't any meaner than normal, something must be up." She answered.
She was right I felt like something was wrong to day like something was going to happen to me, to them. I didn't want to leave them on a bad note. Hold on what am I thinking? Leave them, ware did that come from. I didn't know but for some reason I felt like it might be the last time I saw either of them.
Skip to 7:30
Carly's POV.
So far this morning I was shocked. Sam had insulted Freddie but he had just smiled and then continued to walk to school. I was now at my locker thinking about him and what was up. I had zoned out, I know I had because I was jolted by Sam slamming her locker.
"Hey Carls you all right?" She had a worried look on her face.
"Yeah I'm fine, I was just wondering why Freddie didn't argue with you this morning after you insulted him" I half lied. I was just thinking about him in general, he seemed off.
"I know it was weird. I called him a dork and a loser and reminded him that he would never get you and then he just smiled" She was confused.
"I'm going to go find him and see what's up alright" I said quickly.
"Yeah you go do that I'll get into class and see if I can't find someone who will let me copy their homework" She didn't sound happy that she had to do something to do with homework.
I found Freddie at his locker getting his things ready for class. I didn't know how to ask him what was up it. And I didn't know why. It seemed like such an easy thing to do.
"Oh, hey Carly, what's up?" he asked before I could talk.
"I was just going to ask you the same thing" he looked confused.
"You didn't say anything back to Sam earlier, it just worried us" I lied it probably didn't bother her; just the same it all just confused her.
"I don't know something in the air I guess" it was my turn to be lost.
"What do you mean?" I said after a few minutes of silence.
"I don't know Carly. I just fell like for some reason today's the last day I'll ever get to be with you guys and I didn't want our friend ship on a bad note, you know?" he said all of this like he was sad and it was going to happen. Like… I don't know like he was positive that what he said was, without doubt going to come true.
"Hey don't worry, we'll always be friends Freddie" I was worried about him, he seemed so down.
"I know" Is all he said in return.
"Lets go to class" I was trying to change the subject.
"Yeah let go" He was still unconvinced.
Dalton's POV
I sat there in class 15 minutes early listening to my music. I was listening to my metal and some rap and I was just becoming angrier by the second but it was good it actually helped me to not kill my self. It made me think about a different way to end my problems, to just kill them all. I could just walk into the school with a fully automatic sub-machine gun; I could pore round after round into all of them. I could just swim in their blood instead of mine.
But I never would do it just like I would never kill my self and I knew it. But it felt so good to think about it. I knew that I would take a bullet for any of them before I gave one to them. I couldn't do that because that would just be the easy thing to do. Life would just end all my problems over in an instant, me with no problems, that didn't exist. I had always prided myself in the fact that I did things the hard way, and it was the only thing that I took pride in. So I sat not wanting for class to start. I just sat and the sleep started to over come me and I drifted off. I didn't know when I would awake but I didn't care either.
Vick's POV.
I had the gun in my pants. I knew what I would do but no one ells did. If didn't get the respect that I disserved than I would kill any one that has ever wronged me. I walked into the class 10 minutes early so to avoid the people that picked on me the only problem was that one of them was in the class. For some reason Sam Puckette was in the class room early. I happened to notice that she was getting the answers for the assignment, from different kids though out the class, as to avoid looking like she copied someone's paper. Witch didn't surprise me. She never did any work for her self she always copied the answers off of some one.
The time went by quick for me. More kids that I hated were in the class room now. Like Jeremy, the kid just couldn't stop sneezing. I mean dam there has to be some sort of pill that would stop it. There was Bob smith, and Tim Arnold, because there names weren't original, they used to get picked on, but they ended all that, they got respect by betting up kids like Jeremy, and me, There was also Jackie Reynolds the bitch of the school, along with her side kick Emily Evans. They were mean with their words unlike Sam who was mean with her fists.
There were also the three people I had no problems with but weren't friends with either. There was Carly; she was always nice so I didn't have a problem with her. Freddie was the same a Carly so he didn't bother me either. There was also the new kid, he was built like a truck, big, muscular and he looked fearless and evil. He wasn't that tone though he was kind of round, but you could tell that he packed a punch. He never seamed to talk either (in school at lest). But I didn't know him so I wasn't going to pass judgment. Like others did on me. I was not going to resemble them in any way if I could help it.
Freddie and Carly had told me happy birthday so I was a little surprised. My mom did forget and hadn't said a thing to me this morning so for to class mates to acknowledge my birthday was a nice thing to have. I had a new felling like this might wind up to be an alright day after all.
When it got to 8:o6 and there was no teacher the class, they all started to go crazy. I sat down though since no one wanted to talk to me. The new kid was also just sitting there, he looks asleep I thought. As the time move on the class got even wilder. It was now 8:15 still no teacher.
The principle game in and everyone got quite. He told us that our teacher had called in sick at 8:00 and it was going to be a few more minutes till the sub got here. I didn't mind it was just less homework for me. Then I saw it coming, a fist was going to my shoulder from the left. It hit me hard, the desk tipped and I fell to the floor. My ribs racked against the side of the desk. I screamed out in pain for a second but then I stopped when I felt some one trying to help me up. It was Carly, and Freddie. After I got up I got angry. I could hear them too.
"Oh is little Vicky going to cry" It was Emily that talked but it was Tim who had hit me.
"What was that for Tim?" Freddie spoke up at Emily's remark.
"I was just giving him a little birthday present" Tim said as sarcastically as humanly possible.
"What kind of present was that?"Carly said, she sounded mad.
"Just the best kind" Jackie said as mater of factly.
They all had a good laugh at my expense. I had had it, I could take no more.
"Shut up" I had screamed. They all had stopped but not because I said any thing, it was because I had the gun out now. I squeezed the trigger, and fired on off into the wall. They all ran to the door but it I shot another bullet at the handle.
"Nobodies going any where, we all are staying right here" I had shouted, I immediately started to count my hostages. The only one I couldn't find was the new kid. I didn't want to take my eyes off of them with the door unlocked like it was. I immediately started to do everything I had seen on the TV or in movies. Sam was closest to the door now.
"Sam lock the door. Tim, Bob start pushing desks in front of the door when she moves away" They all did exactly as I had told them, out of fear for their lives. I then told them to all get over to the farthest corner from the door, they did. I had them all give me there cell phones. And then I started to pace.
"Is he asleep?" I had pointed to the new kid. Carly checked,
"Yes he's asleep."She was stunned that he could sleep though the noise of the gun.
"Do you want me to get him up?" She was shaking; you could hear her voice cracking with fear.
"No, let him sleep" I didn't know how any one could sleep though two gun shoots but he did it. I didn't have Carly wake him because; I didn't know what I was doing.
Freddie's POV
I was scared. But I was worried about Carly. He was talking to her. I was afraid that she would say something that would get her killed. I needed to protect the goddess with my life. I saw her walk over to me and she was crying. I took her in my arms. She was touching me, no not the time to be amazed by the contact. I have to be a man and protect her. Vick started to talk again.
"So who wants to die first" He sounded unsure about his own words. It seamed like he was just trying to get in control of the situation. The intercom had gone off with a code black warning (shooting in school). He wanted to establish that he was going to get out of here alive.
"Vick you don't want to do this man" I was trying to calm him down.
"Shut up Freddie" he was now angry, he had a quick temper. Carly gripped me tighter as he yelled at me, scared that I would be hurt.
"I do want this. No one here likes me and no one respects me, for no reason. I have taken too much abuse it ends now" He was pissed off now.
"You don't know what I want know one dose because no one ever even bothered to find out." He was still screaming.
"Me and Carly have always been nice to you." I wanted him to leave her alone.
"True, you two have, but there are 758, students in this building, and two nice ones don't make up the difference" He was right, and I could tell by the looks on everyone else's face that the knew he was right too.
"Look no one mint to hurt you" Sam said quietly.
"BULL SHIT" he was in a rage, "you are one of the stupid bitches who pick on me. As a matter of fact you're the worst; you make me look like I have no masculinity. You're the girl how can beat up almost any guy in this room." She knew he was right. This made her start to cry. I now started to fill sorry for her. I had never seen this side of her before. I now, all of the sudden had new fillings for her as a person. Now she seamed like a person and not a thing.
"Please let me go." It was Emily.
"Please I'm just a sidekick. I don't mean to cause anyone any harm. I just want to fit in with everyone ells." As she said this see broke into tears. I couldn't help but fill sorry for her as well.
"Fuck you, you stupid bitch! It doesn't matter what your intentions were. All that matters is what you did."He didn't like the ignorance of the others. He thought that they would understand that they hurt people like they did. But as it was they did what they did because it was fun for them, and they couldn't care less who they hurt for it.
"Please just calm down." Carly had finely spoken again. With tears in her eyes, I squeezed her tightly, in order to comfort her. She was always kind, and she just didn't want anyone to get hurt.
"Calm, Calm, Calm, how can I stay calm? I can't be calm, not when I have to get out of here alive." He was lost in a rage. He didn't know what to do.
"Come now, if you don't stay calm you'll lose control." I was looking for who had said it, but I couldn't find out who had said it. Then I looked toward the only person in the room who wasn't with the rest of us.
Dalton's P.O.V.
"Come now, if you don't stay calm you'll lose control." I had to get him calm. I couldn't let anyone get hurt.
I had woken with the first shoot. I had decided that it would be best if I pretended to sleep, and see how far the kid would take this. I knew his pain. I had once almost did this, but I thought if I just talked to her she would change her mind, it didn't. So I knew that I needed to find a way to get him to stop this. I sat and listened to his words. I now knew why he was driven to this violent and stupid act. Now all that was left was to find a way to stop him from going though with this.
"What?" he was confused by what I had said.
"Come now you know that I'm right. If you lose control now you wont find a way out of here alive." His expression had changed. He knew what I had said this time. But he was still confused.
"Are you trying to help me?" He said with a shocked voice.
"If that's how you see it, than yeah I'm trying to help." I said this co9oldly and with no emotion. The rest of the room looked between me and him.
"Are you mad?" Freddie was shouting at me.
"You're going to help him kill us? I thought that we were your friends." Carly said this with tears running down her now red cheeks. Her eyes were red from crying. She looked sort of like her… but now was not the time to think about that. I looked around the room. Everyone looked like they had shit themselves. I decided to not let them in on my plan. We were all royally fucked if one of them couldn't hold it together.
I finely decided to act angry like he was to try and get his trust.
"My friends? You make me laugh. You don't even know me, so how in the hell could we possibly be friends?" I looked at her with an I'm sorry face. It was clear though that Freddie had not seen it.
"Don't you dare yell at her? She tried to get to know you the day you moved in"
"Oh yeah I forgot. I mean with that tremendous effort and all, I should have remembered." I had said this with the most sarcastic tone I could muster.
"You don't appreciate any thing do you? We tried to befriend you, but you wouldn't let us in."
"Oh yeah, like I had to. You knew about me everyone dose." I started a half scream half yell.
"Hell you could have looked at any news site and got my story from the front page." They all looked on in confusion at this.
"Like there's not a one of you that didn't find out that I was arrested for stalking a girl. Like you didn't tell the whole school. I mean come on; she had to pull a gun on me. She shoots me twice and I spent the next six weeks in a prison hospital. Well after that I go to trial and get sentenced to nine months in a mental institution. I get out only just finding out that my parents had moved and I was declared eligible to live on my own. So I have one week of living with my parents till I can find a place to live. They had a temporary setup out here so three weeks ago the move to the East cost to get away from me. No one loves me no one even knows the real me, all any one knows is what the government told the news to say about me." I said this all at one time only pausing to take a breath when needed.
Carly looked at me with shame. Like some how my anger was her fault. Like if she just tried harder to get to know me that I wouldn't be so angry, that some how I might be happy. All my life I knew people with out having to talk to them. I could tell by looking and listing to people. I never really had to talk myself, but I had always felt that if I didn't talk as much as I did then people would just forget me.
"No one kn-n-new that." Sam said this with a stutter. It had surprised me that it was her that spoke. Seeing how I wasn't really talking to her. I hadn't even looked at her since, before class.
Spencer's P.O.V.
I was driving at 60mph trying to get to the school. It was about 10:00 when the TV cut off of the art show that was on, for breaking news. I listened; Carly's school was under an alert. Apparently a student went in his class room and then started to shoot up the place. I was worried sick.
I had made it to the school at about twenty minutes later. There was a line of police squad cars surrounding the school. They weren't letting any one near the place. I looked around for Freddie's mom but I couldn't see her any where. I began to wonder if she even knew that what was going on. I gave her a call on her cell phone only to find out she was in New Jersey for business (I didn't even know she had a job, or that she was gone). She told me she would call her sister who was watching Freddie for her. She told me she was 5'7, about 150lb athletic, blond hair and green eyes. She told me her name was Beth and that she had her husband's last name of Turner.
I told her that I would look for her so I could let her know what was going on when she got here. I didn't know what to do so I went up to the police van that had the expensive equipment. When I got there the police chief was there. I knew it was the chief because he had been on the news.
"Hey now one beyond the police line." A low level officer said with a yell. The chief turned at this.
"Sir you have to get back." He said this with a tired sound in his voice.
"NO my sister is in that school."I was frantic, so the words came out before I could think.
"Sir I understand but you have to step back and let us do our jobs." He said this with more force.
"NOT a chance. I want to see my sister." I almost started to cry.
"You can't see her in there just hold on till we get her and the others out then you can see her." He was calm again.
"You don't get it. I'm her legal guardian, I have to protect her." I was crying now.
"Sir I know how you fell."He started to tear up.
"My Son is in there."He was maintaining his calm very well.
"I'm sorry I didn't know." I was at a loss of words and that was all I could think to say to him.
Carly's P.O.V.
I had never been so scared in my whole life. I was holding on tight to Freddie. I just couldn't believe what Dalton had said about his life. Maybe, I thought if I had tried harder to get to know him he would have come around and be our friend. But as it was right now it looked and sounded like he wanted to help Vick kill us. I was looking at Sam as she moved closer to Freddie and me. When she got here she grabbed Freddie's other arm.
He was being so brave to protect us. He was in front of us. So if we were to be shoot at he would get hit first. He was willing to die for us to live. In all of this I remembered what he had said this morning. He must have some how knew that this was going to happen. He had said he felt like this would be our last day together and now with all of this it could be.
"Look you don't want to hurt them. You would have to spend the rest of your life in a prison cell. But if you give me the gun I could kill them all so they wouldn't be able to say it was you and then I could kill my self and no one would be the wiser." Dalton was saying all of this just so he could get the gun to kill us. I knew that he was trying to kill us but at the same time I felt very sorry for him. I mean look how his life had turned out.
"No way. Do you really think I'm that stupid to give you my gun?"Vick said this with an anger that I didn't know a person could have.
"Listen to me it would be smart of you." Dalton was pleading now.
"You can come out of this looking like the hero. You'll get out of here scot free as long as we work together. But I need you to give me the gun so I can do my part." Dalton was saying all of this with a degree of calm that I didn't know how he could maintain during all of this.
"Why do you want to kill us?" I said this with tears running down my cheek and a sob to my voice.
"Yeah what did we ever do to you?" Sam said this as if only to back me up.
"Don't you listen? None of you even had the human decency to even try and find out who I was, who I am." He yelled. I broke into tears again.
I looked at Freddie, who was now holding on tighter than ever to our arms. He was worried that what we said would drive him over the edge. I look to Sam. Only to see some thing that I thought I would see again, Sam was crying.
