Heyyy! This is my first Shiver FF so I'm not sure how it will turn out! But that's okay… So yeah… XD

Philippe: Sooo Rex did you hear the news? Oh who am I kidding; Catfish never know the news first.
Rex: Hey! You're a fish too!
Philippe: Yeah but I'm not a catfish! Anyways, my bestest buddy Penny doesn't own Shiver! Maggie Stiefvater does!
Rex: That's great. News is for Rasboras fish with triangles on their sides!
My eyes flittered to the clock and back to Ms. Kelly. I tapped my pencil on my blank paper. Twenty minutes left in English and then I would have one more class to go. I sighed.
I was seventeen and I still couldn't write a solid writing prompt. An idea always came to me, but I just couldn't put the words on paper.
I raised my hand, clearing my throat a little so that Ms. Kelly would look up from her stack of papers.
It was a school wide testing time, so she had to come over to my desk so as not to disturb the other students. I covered my blank sheet with my arms.
She sighed too. "What is it Ashton?"
"Ash," I corrected her for the nth time. It was June. You'd think by now she would have gotten that I hated the name my parents had cursed me with. "I really don't feel good. I think I ate something bad. My stomach-" I winced.
I could see my girlfriend, Leila raising her eyebrows at me and rolling her eyes.
"Ash, it's the last prompt of the year. Really?" She was rolling her eyes too. That seems to be what most people do when I'm around.
I nodded, still wincing and holding my stomach.
"Fine." She approached her desk and got me a pass to the nurse. She handed it to me, and I was out the door before she found out my sickness was a sham.
I crumpled up my nurse's pass and threw it to the floor. I ventured upstairs to the bathroom I usually cut class in, because nobody ever uses it.
Swinging open the door, I stepped inside and looked in the mirror. My short black hair with the little flip in the front was a little tousled, but I liked it that way. My green eyes stared blankly back at me.
I pulled out my phone. I was about to text Leila to tell me when class was over, when I heard someone in one of the stalls. No big. I put my phone away in case it was a teacher.
I waited. And waited. Not to be a creep, but they sure were shuffling around a lot in there. Something hit against the side of the stall with a loud thwank! Then I heard a little whimper. My eyes widened. Not to be gross, but maybe there was more than one person in there.
I bent down just to check how many legs were under the stall door. Yep, there were four alright. But not in the way either of us is thinking. Not at all.
Stay tuned folks! And review!
