Days had passed since Sinjin was murdered and people were finally starting to relax. Jade and her friends were examples of such people. Well, everybody in the gang, except for Tori.

Even now, they were relaxing at Venice Beach since it was Saturday and the Kickback was that night. Jade and Tori were working on their tans, Cat and Trina were playing volleyball while Beck and Robbie were tossing a football back and forth and Chris and Andre were busy surfing in the water.

After they flipped to their stomachs, Tori looked at Jade. "I still agree with my sister." Tori said.

"On what, Tori?" Jade asked, confused and curious.

"What she said Monday."

"About something bad happening tonight?"

Tori nodded. "But I'm probably just being paranoid. Anyway, how's Chris's therapy going?"

"The doctors say he still has a few episodes every now and then, but they're convinced he's getting better."

She nodded. "Losing his parents and his sister in that car accident must've been tough on him."

"You think it may have changed him somehow?"

"I'm not sure. Still, I think we should watch what he does."

"Normally, I'd object to one of your plans, but not this time."

Tori nodded. A few minutes, later, Cat laid down next to Tori, who smiled and then she and Cat shared a kiss.

"Excited about tonight, babe?" Tori asked and her redheaded girlfriend nodded.

"Our first Kickback since we got together." Cat said.

Tori smiled. She and Cat became a couple a week after Sikowitz dared his class to spend a whole day saying yes. Tori had brought Cat to the janitor's closet, and then confessed that she was in love with Cat, who, though initially shocked, told Tori that she was in love with her. Since then, the two have dated. A few weeks after that, they came out to their friends as a couple. A week later they came out to the whole school.

Soon, Trina laid down as well next to Cat as the latter and Tori began making out.

Jade pretended to gag. "Get a room, you two."

Cat giggled. "Like you and Chris are any different." The redhead said to her Goth best friend.

Jade simply rolled her eyes, but soon felt a hand on her back and she looked and saw it was Chris and then she smiled. "Help me apply on my back?"

He nodded and applied sunscreen to her back. The cooling sunscreen on her skin caused a soft moan to leave Jade's mouth. Chris smirked.

"Like that, baby?" He asked and she nodded.

"You always have such a gentle touch." She said.

Andre, Beck, and Robbie soon joined their friends. Before long, the two guys who bothered Tori and Jade at Nozu, Alan and Chad, showed up.

"Hey, Chad, check out who's here!" Alan said and Chad saw Tori and Jade were with their friends, smirked and walked to them. Chris looked at them, frowned, and stood up.

"Guys, just keep on walkin'." Chris said.

"Come on. We wanna hang with our girls." Chad said, referring to Tori and Jade, then Chris grabbed ahold of Chad's shirt.

"Get out of here… NOW!" Chris demanded.

"Hey!" Alan said then punched, Chris in the face, sending the latter to the ground. "Back off!"

Beck punched Alan and Chad at the same time. "If I ever see you do that to my best friend again, you'll be sorry. Now get out of here."

Alan and Chad then ran off. The gang soon left to get ready for the Kickback then met at the party later.

Several recognized students were in the crowd, including Mark McCallan, Jessica Wolf, Burf, Gabriella, Meredith, and Damian, among others. Mark soon went inside to use the restroom, when the same hooded figure, who had on a ski mask this time, snuck up on Mark and got him in a chokehold.

"Who are you?" Mark asked as he was being choked, but the figure didn't answer. Mark soon passed out and then the figure snapped Mark's neck and walked out.

Meanwhile, Jade was looking around for Chris.

"I'm sure he's okay. He knows his way around the school." Trina said to Jade.

Chris soon ran out of the building and to the parking lot. "SOMEONE KILLED MARK!" He shouted, causing everyone to look at him.

"Mark? As in Mark McCallan?" Meredith asked and Chris nodded.

"His neck was snapped!" He said.

Several students started getting nervous again.

"This can't be a coincidence!" Jessica said.

"Now, Jessica, let's not jump to conclusions." Lane calmly said.

"Jump to conclusions? Mark was murdered!" Burf said.

Students all started talking about things, the main three were why this was happening, who was doing it, and who would be next to be killed. Needless to say, the whole school was being held in the grip of fear.

"Okay, everyone calm down!" Helen Shouted and everyone went quiet. "Now, we'll look more into this situation this weekend. For now, everyone head home."

With those words said, the students all left and went home. Tori, Trina, Cat, Andre, Beck, and Robbie told their parents they were staying with Chris and Jade for the weekend, since Chris lived near a river by the woods and they figured they'd be safer there.

When they arrived, they went inside and sat in the living room.

"Guys…" Trina started.

"Don't, Trina. There's no way Mark being killed was intentional." Beck said.

"Agreed." Chris said.

"There's no need to start a panic. Out here in the country, we should be safe." Robbie said.

"And if we're not? What then?" Cat asked and Tori hugged her.

"We're gonna be okay, baby." The half-Latina girl assured her scared girlfriend.

"I gotta side with Cat on this one." Andre said.

"Guys, this was a coincidence." Chris said.

"Absolutely." Jade said.

"Let's just try and forget this ever happened." Tori said.

The gang nodded then went to their rooms and fell asleep.

That's chapter two. Review and I'll post more chapters.
