Chapter Fourteen: The Scary Chapter, Part One
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---Three days until graduation...---
Lizzie, Gordo, Miranda, and Jason just entered the mall. Very oddly, they were alone. There weren't even any shopkeepers or janitors or foodcourt employees.
"This is too freaky," Miranda said. "We need to leave."
"I agree," Lizzie said.
"Let's go," Gordo said. They turned around to go back outside when the lights flickered and went out. Lizzie and Miranda screamed. Their boyfriends tightly held their hands and they hurried to the doors. All the doors were locked. The girls almost started crying. They clutched Gordo and Jason for dear life.
There was enough light coming from the dark gray sky outside that the four could see a hundred feet or so in front of them.
"We need to get out of here, dude," Jason said to Gordo.
"You got that right. I say we go into that potpourri and candle shop over there and get some candles to see with," Gordo replied.
"Gordo, that would be stealing!" Lizzie said.
"We're all alone in a completely dark, empty, and locked mall in the middle of the day. I think we need to use some sort of light to find a way out. And we can always pay for the candles if we get out of here," Gordo said.
"When. Not 'if,' " Miranda said. But Lizzie and Miranda followed the guys into the shop. They each took a tall candle from a display and were about to leave when they realized that none of them had anything to light them with.
"Now what?" Lizzie asked.
"There's gotta be some matches or a lighter in here somewhere. It's a candle shop, they have to light them somehow," Jason pointed out.
"Right," Gordo agreed, and they went towards the cash register desk to look through the drawers. Sure enough, they found a book of matches. They lit the candles and went back into the hallway to find another exit.
They walked about four hundred feet when Miranda found light switches that turned on the overhead lights. None of them worked.
"So we have to use these candles the whole time? Great," Miranda muttered. They went on their way again. They searched for literally two hours, but all the exits were locked. Gordo and Jason tried to bust the glass of the windows to get out, but they were all made out of an unbreakable glass/plastic mixture. They were stuck inside.
They went to a bedroom store where they found two sample beds. Just two. Afraid to sleep with Gordo in the same bed, (she didn't trust herself) Lizzie opted to slumber with Miranda, leaving Gordo and Jason in the other bed. Awkwardly, the guys got into the bed, facing away from each other. They all fell asleep, hoping that somebody would be in the mall to find them.
---Next day, two days until graduation...---
Lizzie and Miranda woke up to find Gordo and Jason missing. There were signs of a struggle. The sheet and blanket were twisted up and on the floor, leading towards the door. Two of the five fluffy pillows from the bed were out in the hall. Lizzie and Miranda hurridly headed to the pillows. They looked both ways down the hall. To the left, Miranda pointed out something.
"Isn't that Gordo's shoe?" she asked frantically.
"It is," Lizzie squeaked. They ran to the shoe. Lizzie picked it up when they heard a crash. Could it be the guys?

The next half of this chapter will be up soon, (hopefully tomorrow) so you'll just have to wait to see what happens!
Chapters to come: the second part of the scary chapter, a graduation chapter, a few miscellaneous chapters, and college chapters... maybe some post-college chapters and a ten-year high school reunion chapter
