After the others had gone back into the classroom, Matt was nervously pacing back and forth in the hallway, twiddling with his fingers. Suddenly, he turned around and saw a girl standing there with long brown hair and bright green eyes. Startled, they both screamed.

"Um, excuse me-" the girl started but was interrupted quickly by Matt who pointed at her accusingly.

"Killer! Killer! You're the killer! Oh and I know that you're gonna try to tell me you're not the killer, and because you're so beautiful you think I'm gonna believe you. Yeah, but I'm not. Just like in 'Killer, killer! You're the killer! And I know you're gonna try to tell that-'" Matt accused very quickly before the girl finally interrupted him.

"I'm not the killer," she smiled.

"I believe you," Matt said sweetly before pushing her against the locker and beginning to kiss her, hardly listening when she spoke.

"Well, you see, um. I'm a new student here and was just in study hall. I was locked in and I don't know how. I've been so frightened ever since and-" she stops and looks at Matt who was still kissing her. "You are very friendly, aren't you?" Matt stops kissing her and looks up.

"Oh, I'm friendly enough to keep you safe from that awful, bad killer guy," he replied then stopped and offered his hand. "Matt McGuire. And you are?"

"Hannah Love Jefferson," the girl answered while shaking his hand. Matt smiled.

"Ah, what a beautiful name for such a beautiful girl," he said and then stopped once more. "May I call you Jeffy?"

"Uh, sure. Why not?" she replied awkwardly. Ethan and Gordo look strangely at each other from the doorway of the classroom where they and the others had been watching the whole time.

"She doesn't really seem like a killer to me," Lanny said. Lizzie rolled her eyes but said nothing.

"Same here," Gordo agreed. "I am, however, less sure about Matt now." Lanny nodded his head in agreement.

"Hey, don't assume," Ethan objected. Lizzie rolled her eyes again.

"Why? Is it going against another of your 'horror film instincts'?" she asked sarcastically. Ethan glared at her.

"Actually yes. It's always the one you think can't be the killer," he told her. Lizzie gave up and they all walked out into the hallway together.

"You can hang out with us, Jeffy," Gordo offered. Miranda tried hard not to laugh when Gordo called her 'Jeffy'.

"Yeah, as long as we all just stay together, we should be just fine," Lizzie put in, also holding back laughter. Jeffy nodded. Just as she was about to say something, the hallway phone rang, causing her to scream and Miranda to look at her, taken aback. Miranda then screamed afterward, showing a bit of attitude in her own scream.

"Oh, sorry, you-" Jeffy started but was interrupted by Miranda's snapping fingers.

"Yes, girl, I am the screamer around here," she said, eyeing Jeffy carefully. Lanny shook his head and answered the phone.

"Hello?" he asked. The voice on the other line was very raspy and sounded kind of spooky.

"You like scary movies, right? Well, which one's your favorite?" it said.

"Ooh, ok. Well, uh, I really like that one with the, uh, hottie hot hot from that, uh, Party Of Five," Lanny replied.

"Oh you mean Neve Campbell?" Jeffy asked. Matt looked at her strangely.

"Duh," he answered, cocking his head to one side. Just then, Gordo realized something.

"Guys!" he exclaimed. "We could use this!"

"Use what?" Ethan asked.

"The phone! We could use it for help!" Gordo explained.

"Hey yeah!" Matt agreed and pulled the line out of the wall, disconnecting the phone. "Cause when the killer comes, we can, like, hit him with this!" Matt stops and realizes everyone is glaring at him. He then notices why. "Done done done"

"Nice going," Ethan said sarcastically. Suddenly, the phone began to ring again. Matt put it up to his ear.

"Uh, hello?" he asked. "Oh.. it's the killer," he whispered. The others looked at each other as Matt continued to listen to what the killer had to say, and when he hung up the phone, Gordo asked two of the many questions that were in his mind.

"Wh- what did he say? Was he mad or something?" he asked hurriedly. Matt waved his hand by his face as if it was no big deal.

"Oh, he said what all killers say. You know, he wants to come here, wants to kill us, he wants us to wait right here," he replied. After a short moment, everyone began to run down the hallway. Only Matt came back to check the phone for change. When he found none, he hurried after his friends to, hopefully, escape the killer.
