Gordon and I woke up late the following morning, we quickly got dressed and headed downstairs for breakfast, as we reached the cafeteria we saw Den walking out. I tried to talk to him, but he ignored me and walked away.
"Don't worry about him love" said Gordon. "He must still be in a bad mood from the trial last night.
"Right" I replied.
Gordon and I walked into the cafeteria to see Grace wrapping up on clearing the tables.
"Good morning Annie, good morning Gordon" she greeted.
"Good morning Grace" Gordon and I both returned the greeting.
"It is a little late and everyone already came and ate, I'm just wrapping up cleaning up, but I can quickly bring you guys some leftovers."
"That would be very nice, thank you Grace" I replied.
"Yes thank you" thanked Gordon.
Grace quickly brought Gordon and I some leftovers and we quickly ate while she finished up cleaning. After we finished eating, we joined Grace in the last bits of the dishes.
"Thank you again Grace" I thanked while smiling.
"It really is my pleasure" Grace replied. "I'm just happy you two enjoyed yourself."
"As expected from the ultimate event planner" Gordon laughed.
"By the way" Grace continued. "We're having a meeting in the lounge at noon. Leah is the only who thought of the idea and wanted me to let people know when they came down for breakfast."
"Leah wants to have a meeting?" I asked. "I wonder what for?"
"To decide what our next movie is" Grace replied.
"For getting out of here?" asked Gordon.
"That is correct" Grace answered.
Gordon, Grace, and I finished the dishes and left the cafeteria. Grace went off on her own, while Gordon and I took a walk around the school holding hands. We ended up in the courtyard and decided to sit outside for a bit. We sat down and Gordon put his arm around me.
"So love" started Gordon.
"Yes?" I answered happily.
"As of last night, are we officially together?"
I smiled at Gordon. "Of course we are."
We leaned in for each other to enjoy a kiss. During this moment, I felt like all my anxiety was gone and would never return. That even when I was stuck in this horrible killing game with no way being discovered, I was gonna be safe as long as Gordon was there to protect me. We broke the kiss and just stared happily into each other's eyes. It seemed like this moment would just be full of happiness forever. Until of course Gordon noticed something and turned to the direction angrily. I did the same and saw Maxwell watching us from inside moving his hand up and down like he was jerking off.
"That damn pervert!" Gordon shouted.
He got up and sprinted towards the door. Maxwell quickly got scared and ran away from the courtyard window with Gordon quickly chasing him once he made it back inside. I waited for a few minutes until Gordon came walking back to the courtyard out of breath.
"What happened?" I asked.
"The perv got away, but I'll definitely get him at the meeting when I see him" Gordon answered.
I laughed. "That guy should be the ultimate pervert instead of the ultimate fisher."
"You're probably right" Gordon agreed laughing.
We cuddled and chatted in the courtyard a little longer as it got closer to the meeting. We then left the courtyard holding hands and headed to the lounge. When we arrived, everyone except Den was already there. Gordon saw Maxwell and shot him a death glare. Maxwell yelped and hid behind Seth.
"What did you do now Maxwell?" asked Bradford.
"If Gordon and Annie aren't gonna answer, then he probably shouldn't either" Bethany replied threateningly.
"Just being himself" replied Gordon.
"Enough time wasting" said Zoe. "Are we gonna start or what?"
"Everyone isn't here yet" replied Leah. "Den is still missing."
"You really think he'll show up?" asked Mara.
Suddenly as if he were waiting, Den walked into the lounge. Everyone watched as he headed off to lean in the corner.
"Looks like we are all present" said Harry.
"Then let us begin" replied Leah. "Look guys, we really need to figure out what we're gonna do here. We need to find a way out before another murder happens."
"I agree" I agreed while getting a little anxious. "We have to act fast before the feeling of despair from another murder haunts us again."
"I don't get the bad vibe you're all talking about" Den replied. "That school shooter Barry may be dead, but it isn't like the atmosphere will be any different from him not walking around."
"Den!" cried Grace.
"That is a horrible thing to say!" I agreed.
"He does have a point though" responded Zoe. "From what I recall, no one even talked to him majority of the time. I think it is safe to say his death won't affect us."
"That is so messed up!" Leah shot back. "How can you two say crap like that!?"
"Easily" replied Den.
"We should stay on track guys" Gordon cut in. "We gotta focus here."
"I agree with Gordon" agreed Harry. "I gotta ask though, why hasn't anyone come from us?"
"What do you mean?" asked Seth.
"Well why isn't anyone looking for us?" replied Harry. "We been trapped in this school for a few days now, so you would think the police and our families would be looking everywhere for us."
"And the school we were all suppose to attend would certainly be a good place to check for clues" continued Gordon.
"And if they checked this school, they would of noticed something was up and broke in and rescued us" finished Leah.
"That is true" said Bethany. "But something is definitely up as none of that has happened yet."
"I'm still curious at what happened to this school to make the situation we're in possible" stated Mara.
"Bat Wing, the exits being blocked off, no staff or other students, us being kidnapped and trapped here, the person or people responsible for all this" I listed. "Just too many questions that we have absolutely zero ideas on how to answer them."
"My head hurts just thinking about it" said Seth.
"Don't think too hard on it you fools" replied Zoe. "You all know how to get out of here."
"What.. how?" I asked.
"Kill someone and deceive the rest at the class trial" answered Zoe.
"Hey!" exclaimed Gordon.
"You better stop talking like that Zoe or we're gonna have some serious problems here" Bethany said angrily.
"Meh, like any of you idiots are innocent either after you tried to pin the last murder on me" Den replied.
"Den you need to let it go" said Harry.
"Whatever, I'm out of here" replied Den.
"I think I'll take my leave as well" agreed Mara.
"I knew this would be a waste of time" said Zoe.
"Hey wait!" cried Leah.
Den, Mara, and Zoe all headed out of the lounge as the rest of us watched them leave.
"No wonder those three were suspicious during the last trial" said Bradford.
"They are for sure still quite anti social" agreed Grace.
"Whatever, we should get back to the meeting" cut in Leah.
The meeting lasted a little bit longer, but nothing appeared accomplished. No one had any idea what to do next or anything else that could help us with our situation. My anxiety came back as I started to slowly realize we were out of hope.
