Chapter 4: Time to teach a lesson
Eli's point of view:
Millions of thoughts and questions flowed through my head as Julia, my supposed dead ex-girlfriend, ushered Bianca, Adam, Fitz, KC Alli and I towards Degrassi. Out of all those thoughts, one was for sure my most recurrent. "How do I save Clare?" We make our way towards the door of our school Julia tells all of to stop and take ten steps back. After we do so, she picks the lock of the door and I realize she had us step away out of mistrust. It's almost comical how she doesn't trust us, yet look at the situation.
Julia opens both doors with a hard push and a loud slam. She enters turns around and looks right at me, winks and then glances over everyone and shouts dramatically, "Welcome students of Degrassi to your orientation… Of death!" She throws her head back laughing. "The lessons here are to die for, and the food… ehh not so much; however some classes may bore you to death," Julia says, laughing again like a mad woman. "Come along now children," she says, carrying Clare along with her. She's wearing a twisted smile that makes my stomach churn. She puts handcuffs on the door to lock them, and watches my face as she puts the key in her pocket slowly, teasing me with the knowledge that I'm staring right at it. Then, she leads us into a class room and tells us to sit down. Hesitantly, I sit down with the others as Julia changes personalities again in an instant! She puts on a pair of glasses and pulls her hair into a ponytail.
"Well class it's time for a lesson, or should I say time to teach a lesson," she says with a mischievous smile on her face. Now I am not just afraid for Clare's well being; I'm afraid for mine too.
Bianca's point of view:
This girl is nuts! I would have ran a while ago, but she threatened to kill that Clare chick! I may be mean, but I do have a heart ya know, and Fitz and I already have police records, so we would be blamed for her murder. It sounds selfish, but it's true. I don't need to go to juvie, and Fitz just got out of prison, and it'll be bad for him if he goes back now. So we'll just sit back and watch this crazy woman's show and entertain her for now, but if she touches me she is dead. Period.
"Now class let me tell you of a young girl who had hopes and dreams, however all of you ruined my life and caused my death. I suppose, as in any story, I should start from the beginning," She announced and I grit my teeth to keep from yelling at her, demanding to know who the hell she was, but I had to hold back. I knew my consequences, but apparently Fitz didn't.
"What the hell do you want, you bitch! Let us go from here!" He yelled at her, surprising everyone.
Julia, however, was un-phased when she said "You could walk out right now if you wanted. I would accept it and let you go, I would just kill Clare and that's it." Her facial expression didn't change once. It's unbelievable, how could she just say that so easily? "I wouldn't even have her as a hostage if you guys would've just come to me; however that would have never happened. It's not my fault you all are so difficult," she says mockingly.
Fitz says, "And it's not our fault you're such a freak!" adding extra venom to the freak. It was like Fitz just set off a bomb in the small classroom.
"How dare you! I am no freak if you went through!" she screams. She takes a wooden ruler and smacks Fitz across the face with it, hard. He falls out his chair and whimpers on the floor in pain. She hits him once more, knocking him out, and we all stare in shock, in fear. This girl is not only crazy, but she is capable of hurting us. Out of fear, I pick up the desk and throw it at her. It hits her and she falls to the ground as Eli picks up Clare while I get Fitz and we all run out the room.
We head to the other side of the school where the other exits are. We get to one and see that's it' locked by chains. Julia's voice comes on the PA system and says, "Well, you guys are so predictable. I knew you would try to escape so I boarded up and put chains around every exit, except for the front. Too much work." I then realized that she had us cornered and was challenging us. From here on out, it was a game of cat and mouse, and we were the mice. We were trapped and at her mercy. Ugh, when did I become a masochist? I'm not like emo boy over there. I'm strong and I'm going to get us out of here.
"Now, before you do something rash, I would like to say something to Bianca and Adam: you both were the only nice ones to me on the night of my death, so you will be spared. If you listen to me, go to the gym. Everyone else, go to the media immersion class." Me and Adam look at each other as she says this "I'm sure you're all wondering why you should listen to me. Well, it's only fair that I warn you that I have explosives rigged around the school, as well as cameras. One wrong step, and I'll blow it all to pieces!" We heard her laugh again. Whoa she is insane! I think to myself. I wish Fitz luck and Adam hesitantly comes with me. I hope things go well, and that's she is bluffing because, if not, then we are all dead!
Alli's point of view:
I'm freaking out! Now I remember why I transferred out of this school—the drama! Yet somehow, even after I leave, drama finds me! All I wanted was to be popular and have a boyfriend who didn't cheat on me, and guess who didn't get those things? Now I am running to the media immersion class because Julia decided to have a time limit to make things fun. I have already taking off my heels and could feel my feet throbbing from the running. We finally got to the classroom. There was a white sheet on the board for projecting, and of course a projector attached to a computer. "This is unf-f-fathomable that this would occur!" Clare says stuttering from nervousness, I don't blame her She just got kidnapped! By her boyfriend's "dead" ex-girlfriend!
"We need to get out of here, now!" Eli said urgently
"No we need to watch this! This is what she wants, if we do it we just might get on her good side," I say, walking up to the projector. There is a message on the screen that says "Press play" so I press enter and the screen lights up, and Julia's face appears.
"This video explains the situation of my death, and all I want to do is show you what happened to me." She says.
"See! I told you—" But she interrupts.
"Then kill you all myself!" As she presses something on the computer, cueing the video, a weird mixture of laughter and crying can be heard. We all stare in shock afraid for our lives and in knowledge that this is more serious than we thought! This is life or death! If I knew we were going die, I would have dressed up better!
A/N: hello hope you enjoyed the chapter! And sorry about the joke at the end I couldn't resist and it seems so much like her character! Haha just kidding but please review and continue reading!
