Neds Declassified Murder Survival Guide Chapter 2
"Oh my god," said Moze behind Ned.
"All students away from the door," yelled Lunch Lady, closing the door. "All of you stay here. I'm going to call the principal." she said going behind the counter and disappearing.
"Suzy what happened?" asked Moze.
"I woke up late this morning," she explained. "I got dressed quickly and mom dropped me off. I was on my way to my locker when I heard a gun shot and then..." she buried her face in her hands.
"Its going to be okay," said Ned.
"Who do you think did it?" said Lisa, slightly scared.
"Maybe it was Earl S. Polk," said Cookie.
"Are you serious? You think a bunch of middle schoolers did this?" said Moze.
"They destroyed I-Teachers room," replied Cookie.
"Vandalism is one thing. Murder is another," said Moze.
"Guys! I don't think it really matters. Lunch Lady went to find the principal then I'm sure we'll all be going home." said Ned, holding Suzy.
"What if they got him?" Seth asked
"Your not making this any better Seth," said Moze.
"Don't you think we should get out of here?" said Seth. Many of the students agreed.
"Seth's right what if the killer comes to get us," said Loomer.
"Look we don't even know who that was out there, this could be a cruel joke. Besides Lunch Lady will come back to get us," said Moze.
"Martin," said Suzy quietly.
"What?" asked Ned.
"Thats who it is. Martin Quirley," she said, staring at the closed door.
"You know, I agree with Seth we should get out of here," said Ned. Most of the students nodded in agreement..
"What if Lunch Lady comes back?" said Moze, trying to be brave.
"What if someone else comes instead?" said Ned. They all stared at Moze for her answer.
"Ok lets get out of here," Moze said, suddenly agreeing. The students flooded out of the side doors of the cafeteria and headed down the hall for a new place to hide. They ran quickly looking into the doors of the classroom's.
"How about the library?" Seth offered.
"Don't you watch scary movies?" asked Cookie. "The library is where killers like to hide." The rest of the students just looked at him.
"Lets just go into this classroom" said Ned walking into a nearby classroom. The rest of the students followed and Seth shut the door behind him.
"What do we do now?" asked Seth.
"We need to find a teacher," said Moze. "They are the ones who can help use."
"Haven't you noticed that it doesn't seem like there are any teachers around?" Lisa asked. "Every classroom we looked in was empty."
Just then they began to hear static from a radio over the intercom.
"Whats that?" said Loomer, frightened.
"Well hello there Jame K. Polk Middle School," came an unfamiliar voice over the intercom. "How are you enjoying your day?"
"Who is that?" asked Seth.
"Well if it isn't Seth Powers, the captain of the James K. Polk basketball team," said the voice.
"What do you want?" said Loomer afraid.
"Well Billy, Your school is going down next week," said the voice.
"Thats what this is about? You killed Martin Quirley for that?" said Moze. "And how do you know who we are if we don't know who you are?"
"So many questions, Jennifer. We would love to answer them for you but we would prefer that our secrets remain secrets," came a different voice. "And as for your friend Martin. He won't be the first." The intercom went silent. The students just stood there in silence as the fear of what would happen next overwhelmed them.
