Prologue
ZOEY'S POV
"We need to go, Zoey!" Chase yelled at me as I stared speechless and terrified at the dead body floating in the fountain. My heart was racing as my boyfriend pulled me away and headed toward his dorm building nearby. We got inside and he quickly locked the door behind us, then turned around to me as I stood there shaking, my arms wrapped around myself.
"Chase." I cried scared. Chase raced over to me and wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tight as tears began streaming down my face.
"We're gonna be okay." He tried to assure me, but seeing a dead body made me not believe him as much as I should. Just then, we heard fast footsteps behind us and I got off Chase, turning around, seeing Chase's best friend and roommate, Michael, "What are you doing out of our room?" Chase asked frantically.
"Looking for you two." He answered, then gestured for us to go with him back to his and Chase's dorm room as he added,, "Now we should get back to our dorm. Logan, Quinn and Lola are waiting for us." We nodded to Michael, then I felt Chase slip his hand down and take my hand into his before we followed Michael back to his room.
"Logan open the door!" Michael shouted to his roommate as he knocked the door repeatedly until Logan opened it. The three of us rushed inside the room, and Logan re locked the door behind us.
"Zoey!" Lola and Quinn exclaimed running over to me and hugging me tight like Chase did.
"Are you guys okay?" Lola asked Chase and I and we nodded yes, "What the hell's going on?" Lola asked generally to everyone.
"PCA's on lock down that's what's going on!" Michael shouted freaking out in his normal drama way, "Did you guys not hear the gunshots?!"
"Of course we did Michael." Quinn answered trying to stay the clam, "But we should stay calm."
"How are we supposed to stay calm when someone could be dead!" Michael yelled at Quinn.
"Stop it! No one's dead!" Lola yelled, "No one's gonna die!" Lola looked around and spotted Chase and I's sad and scared faces, "Chase? Zoey?" The rest of the gang looked over at me as we glanced at each other.
"What's wrong you guys?" Logan asked with his no care in the world attitude. We looked at the gang and Chase said since I was getting more upset.
"Someone- someone's already dead." Everyone gasped with wide eyes. Their looks were a mix of shock, discomfort and scared.
"Who- Who's dead?" Quinn asked, stuttering a little. Chase and I glanced at each other again unsure if we should tell them.
"Who's dead!" Michael shouted throwing his arms out, his breathing sounding heavily. I sighed trying to have the courage to tell them, then said quietly not wanting to believe it myself.
"Stacey."
