Chapter One: A Disturbance in Roscoe

Ray's POV

I walked down the halls and saw the beautiful Lily standing at her locker. We had finally gotten together, she was officially my girlfriend.

"Morning pretty lady," I greeted.

"Hey Ray," she said as she kissed my cheek.

Before I could say anything else, the short Travis came running and said, "Guys! Did you hear? Jessie Little, you know, that girl with red hair and who always wears those emerald earrings? She was murdered last night!"

"Jessie Little? She sits behind me in physics! She always used to copy off me…I mean…wow, that's horrible!" Lily said.

Just then a tired looking Robbie came along. "Hey guys, did you hear the gory news?"

"Yeah, Travis just told us. Who would want to kill Jessie?" I asked. The guys shrugged. "Hey Robbie, you look tired."

"I stayed up late studying," Robbie replied.

"Wait, I thought you said you couldn't hang last night because you had a date?" Lily said.

"Uh, yeah, she blew me off at the last second! Wait a jerk, huh?" Robbie said. There was something funny about him today.

Before I could question him anymore, Waller came over the PA. "It is a sad day in Henry Roscoe High. I'm sure you've all heard of what has happened to Jessie Little. The Roscoe police have asked anyone who may have any information to come forward."

I saw Danny Smith, Jessie's boyfriend, almost crying as he emptied out her locker. I wrapped an arm around Lily, who looked on the verge of tears as well.

Waller continued on the PA, "It has been decided, that due to this loss, the school day has been cancelled. Everyone may go home and grieve this loss."

Lily shut her locker, still holding her books. She was about to slip them into her bag when Chuck Wilson rushed by, knocking them out of her arms.

"Hey Wilson! How about picking those up?" Robbie called, looking annoyed.

"How 'bout no!" Chuck retorted as he pushed his way through the crowd of people leaving.

"Jerkwad!" I called. I turned to my girlfriend. "Lily, come on. I'll walk you home."

Lily and I left the school together, leaving Travis and Robbie alone.

The Killer's POV

I left the school and headed towards Mickey's. I saw that idiot through the window, sitting with a bunch of his idiot friends. I smirked and hid around the corner, I'd wait until he came out.

About a half hour later, he came out all alone. As he walked by, I grabbed him and dragged him into an alley.

"Hello, you made a big mistake today," I whispered in his ear.

I uncovered his mouth. "But I didn't do anything!" he wailed.

"Wrong!" I snapped, kneeing him in the back. I let him fall over and I circled him so he could see my face, I liked my victims to know their killer first.

I took the knife out of my pocket. I sliced open his left cheek, enjoying listening to him whimper in pain and fear. I smirked as I sliced open his right cheek.

I pulled him by the collar so he was on his knees. My own knee met with his nose and even more blood spilled down his face. I pushed him onto his back as he held his face in pain.

I stepped on his stomach, slowly putting on more pressure. Then finally I bent over him and stabbed him in the stomach, watching him die. As soon as I was sure that he wasn't getting up, I cleaned off my knife on his hair and ran off to get rid of my blood splattered clothes.

That was my second victim. His name was Chuck Wilson.
