Ethan opened the door to the dark school library and, after quickly looking around, signaled to the rest to follow him inside. Once inside, everyone was silently talking amongst themselves.

"You know what?" Lizzie was saying to Miranda. "I don't trust this Hannah Love Jefferson one bit."

"I know. We don't know anything about her, do we? And honestly, calling her Jeffy? My little sister once had a cat named Jeffy. Come on," Miranda replied with a slight laugh.

"Yeah well, after today we won't have to put up with her anymore anyway," Lizzie pointed out, relieved. Miranda nodded in agreement.

While the girls were talking, so were Matt and Lanny.

"Since when did this school get a library?" Matt asked Lanny, curiously eyeing the library. Lanny shrugged his shoulders.

"Every day is a new adventure, isn't it?" Lanny replied.

"All right, everybody," Ethan said to get everyone's attention. "I know this is really going against my horror film instincts, but maybe we should split up. At least then the killer can't get to us all at once." The rest of the group agree and Gordo walks down one aisle of books. Jeffy followed him.

"You know," Gordo started, "I don't see why anyone would want to do this to us. I mean, we're good kids. Why? For what reason?" Jeffy shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know. You don't deserve it. But don't worry. We're all scared. But we'll get out," Jeffy replied and softly kissed him on the cheek. Lizzie, who had been spying the whole time from behind the bookshelf, glared evilly at Jeffy for kissing Gordo. Slowly, Gordo walked away from Jeffy, leaving her alone in the aisle. She turned around, and suddenly fifteen books fell on top of her. Letting out an ear shattering scream, Jeffy fell to the ground, covered in books. Hearing the scream, Matt ran over to her and knelt down beside her.

"Jeffy! Wait! I'll save you!" he yelled heroically. Then disappointedly sighed "Oh."

"Matt, it's too late for me now," Jeffy told him weakly. "But I think now I know who the killer is."

"Jeffy, save your breath. There will be plenty of time for that later," Matt said softly. Jeffy looked at him exasperated.

"Matt, I'm dying," she sighed.

"Oh, right," Matt remembered. "Well, maybe you really should tell me now then." Jeffy nodded.

"Ok. I saw the killer looking at me right before the books hit me," Jeffy said weakly. "Matt, the killer is-" Matt looked up and was greeted by books falling on him as well, killing him and Jeffy both on impact. The rest of the gang ran over, only to find their two friends dead.

"Matt!" Lanny exclaimed, very upset. "Jeffy... Matt! Oh, he was my best friend, my partner! I didn't really know her. Oh man, Matt was the co-owner in our lawn mowing company! We were saving up money for a new stereo! Now I can't afford the stereo! If I can't have my company and save up money, then I just don't wanna live!" Lanny quickly ran toward the window.

"You know he's gonna die now," Ethan pointed out. Gordo nodded in agreement. Miranda suddenly ran after him.

"Aren't you worried about Miranda?" Gordo asked Ethan curiously.

"Nah, remember, virgins never die," Ethan replied with a brief wave of his hand. He looked over at the window to watch the scene.

"Wait! Lanny! Ethan and Gordo can help you mow lawns. Together you can buy the stereo," Miranda was saying, trying to calm Lanny. He looked at her.

"Hey yeah. You're right. Thanks. I think I'm ready to go back inside now," Lanny told her. The two were about to climb back inside the window, when a man in a black Scream-like costume shoved them of the windowsill and down to their death. Ethan and Gordo's mouth hung open.

"Wait, wait," Ethan stuttered. "Miranda can't die. Virgins never die."

"Well then it looks you've got a problem, buddy," Gordo smiled. Ethan lightly punched him in the stomach and the two boys looked ahead of them at the killer who was making his way toward them and Lizzie. The three friends cower against the bookshelf in fear.

"Um, ok. See, I know I was wrong before, but I really, really do think that this guy's the killer," Ethan concluded. Gordo and Lizzie ignored this comment.

"Why are you doing this to us? Why?" Gordo yelled at the killer. Without answering, the killer walked up to the three friends and took a hold of Gordo and Lizzie's hands, placing them together. Ethan, then, gathered up enough courage to step forward and remove the killer's mask. Gordo, Lizzie, and himself all gasped at what they saw.
