Chapter 2

The cafeteria roared with life as the college students filed in. McKinsey walked through the door and looked around the room. She walked over to the table that her friends occupied and sat down next to Tyler, her boyfriend. He looked at her and smiled. He kissed her and turned back to the conversation that was going on at the table.

"No, no, no, Carrie was Steven King's best book that was adapted into a movie," Bryan replied. He looked over at Dalton and said, "Isn't that right babe?"

Dalton looked over at his boyfriend and asked, "What was the question again?"

"Is Carrie or Misery better?" Xander asked.

Dalton asked, "Does it really matter?"

Bryan and Xander stared at him with wide eyes. Dalton asked, "What? It's just Steven King."

Xander gasped and said, "That is just like saying World of Warcraft is just a game!"

Dalton raised an eyebrow and asked, "Well isn't it?"

Xander screamed, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"

Dalton whimpered and cuddled into Bryan's arm. Bryan wrapped his arms around Dalton and kissed the top of his head. Bryan looked at Xander and said, "You really need to call a specialist about your addiction to World of Warcraft."

"Are you losers done yet? Steven King isn't that really good of a suspense author, and the films based off his books are NOT scary. They are boring. A true scary movie is Halloween," Amanda said. She turned to her best friend, Cassidy, and said, "Isn't that right Cass?"

"Well Halloween is a scary movie, but I like more modern horror movies. Kind of like Final Destination or Wrong Turn," Cassidy replied.

Tori said, "But those aren't modern. Well they are in a sense, but the modern thing to do now is reboots. We all know that. It's either reboot or sequel that is ten times crappier than a home-made porno."

"But reboots are a piece of shit. There are only certain aspects of reboots that are good. But character development and ACTUAL scares are not one of those certain aspects," Amanda retorted.

Tori defended, "But not all horror movies now-a-days are remakes. Ever since Platinum Dunes has decided to start on action films, there aren't really any remakes. Insidious was a good, ORIGINAL movie. Paranormal Activity was a good—"

"Stop right there. Paranormal Activity is not classified as a good film because it was masked by the incredibly bland and boring sequel it produced. Horror movies right now are so over looked by remakes that no one can see the true beauty of an original," Bryan interrupted.

"But again, they all aren't remakes is my point. Yes, there are a lot of remakes and some have their good moments and then they have their bad moments because they stray off the originals path, but isn't that what a remake is supposed to do? Make its own film while still staying true to the story of the original?" Tori asked.

Bryan replied, "Not when they don't stay true to the original. No remake every does. It uses the killer, final girl, and weapon and then lead on with their business. They only take the things they need from the original and then either create a piece of shit, or create something that is good, but can never surpass the original."

Amanda said, "Ok, enough with the remake talk, that is so 2009. Over and done. Stick a knife in it and let it bleed. Has anyone seen Baylee around today? I need to make fun of her so that my day can be complete."

McKinsey answered, "I don't think she's here today. And what are we? In fourth grade? That's just plain childish."

"Call it whatever you want, but if I don't make her day a complete hell, then my day is ruined."

"That is a bitch move," Tori said.

"Well, being a bitch is what I do best," she replied. She knocked over Tori's water and made it spill all over her. Tori gasped and jumped up. Amanda smiled at her and asked, "Did I do that, I'm so sorry."

Tori stormed out of the cafeteria. McKinsey looked over at Amanda and asked, "Why did you do that?"

"Because I'm a bitch."

Someone screamed and everyone looked to where it came from. It was outside. Tori ran back into the cafeteria and shouted, "Come see this!"

Everyone ran out of the cafeteria. McKinsey, Bryan, Dalton, and Amanda were the first ones out. Outside, hanging from the flag holder, was Baylee. Her stomach was ripped open and blood covered the ground under her. She was hanging from a rope around her neck and swaying. Amanda screamed. Dalton buried his face into Bryan's arm. McKinsey looked at the piece of paper that was stabbed onto her chest. McKinsey walked over to the body and took the note from the knife. It said:

I'll be coming for you real soon McKinsey. Just wait and see. Just wait.
