Ashley and Ellie stared at Craig, their expressions even more grim than usual. This was the final insult. First Craig cheated on her with Manny the Ho, and now he was asking for Manny the Ho's Dominatrix's hand in marriage! Craig was supposed to be her studcake, and that was that. Ellie, well, Ellie was just dark. That meant she was capable of anything! Even murder! That's what "her kind" does!
Ashley glowered down at Craig. "Was it worth it, Craig? Was it worth dying for?"
Craig looked from Ashley to Emma. Beautiful Emma, with her long flowing locks and big brown eyes. Oh, he'd do anything for her. Even be gunned down by his psycho ex-girlfriend.
Ellie's eyes grew cold as she glanced at Emma. "Em, I thought I meant something to you. Now you're getting engaged! In the hall!"
"I have no control over what other people do…well, outside my basement, that is," Emma said coolly, lighting up a cigarette. Fuck the environment was her new philosophy! She was cooler that way.
Tears welled up in Ellie's eyes, and she changed her target to her lost love, Emma. Emma stared back at her, her expression remaining the pinnacle of cool. Nothing would take her cool from her. She was the Life of the Party!
"No!" Craig shouted. "Don't kill her! Kill me!"
"That's my job," Ashley said coldly. There's a big difference between cold and cool!
"Well…make it Ellie's job. As long as it keeps Emma safe, I don't care!"
Sean leaped up from his position under Craig, though he was enjoying it a lot. He darted in front of Emma, ready to lay down his life for her.
"Take me instead," Sean said daringly.
"Sean, I don't want to do this. But I will," Ellie replied.
"Whatever," Sean said.
Without warning, Ashley began to shoot again. Fortunately, she only managed to take out the filler kids. No one mourned them.
"Hey! Gang!" a voice cried out through the chaos. Ashley, Ellie, Emma, Craig, and Sean looked over to where Liberty was standing. "Paige is outside, and she was stung by a bee!"
The crowd gasped.
"Oh no!" cried Toby.
"A bee?!" Ashley exclaimed.
"Omigod!" squealed Ellie.
The crowd ran outside, to where Paige was weeping desperately.
"A bee! A bee! Oh, what am I to do?" Paige wailed.
Even the kids with bullet wounds were sympathetic. Poor Paige, while they were caught in a silly gun battle, she was outside suffering at the cruel hands of a winged yellow and black Knight of Darkness! Why, Satan himself couldn't dream of being so callous!
"Oh, Paige baby, I hope you're okay," Emma cooed, holding Paige in her arms.
"Yeah, I'm really sorry, Paige," Ellie sighed.
"Me too," Ashley whispered, her lower lip quivering.
"It just…stung…so badly," Paige sniffed.
"Awwww," the crowd said. Paige was treated to pats on the back, hugs, kisses, licks, and most of all…friendship.
THE END.
