The girls gathered together as they walked threw the change room. It was almost as if they were walking through a haunted house because none of them were really confident about this right now. They passed a few of the lockers and continued forward.
"I can't believe what happened to Emma," Manny finally said letting out a sigh and a tear ran down her cheek. Everyone was still shaken by the entire event that had just taken place. Nobody knew why they had been called to the gym in the first place.
"It might've been an accident," Darcy tried to reassure everyone that nothing else would happen, even though she didn't know what was going to happen.
"You think being called to the gym, and then Emma getting…killed was an accident?" Paige said accusingly towards Darcy who was now speechless. Paige crossed her arms and pouted her bottom lip.
They continued walking, silent for a moment, "Let's just focus on getting out of here and calling the police as soon as possible," Ellie replied trying to stop the soon to be fight with Darcy and Paige.
Alex followed behind the worried girls, she seemed pretty calm for some odd reason, but none of the other girls seemed to notice seeing as they were all just worried about getting out and calling the police.
"Well, since we are in here," Paige began, "We might as well grab our spirit squad outfits, just to you know…be ready early on Monday for the big rally," She suggested to Darcy, Manny and Mia seeing as the girls were on the spirit squad with her.
Mia shrugged, "Good idea," she said quietly and headed towards her locker which was next to Darcy's but across from Paige's and Manny's lockers. Darcy followed Manny and Paige wasn't too far behind either. Ellie and Alex waited for them to grab their stuff so they could go.
Alex continued heading towards the end of the locker room before they had grabbed all their stuff. Ellie didn't especially want to wait either so she decided to follow Alex, she jogged a little to catch up with her, "We'll be in the hall," she shouted to Darcy, Mia, Manny and Paige.
Ellie and Alex were soon out of sight.
Mia searched around in her locker; she wasn't usually a messy person so it was easy for her to find her skirt, top and pompoms. She grabbed everything and was just about ready to go.
Manny turned away from her locker to face the other girls, "Why we were even called to the gym in the first place? That's the real question," she questioned. Paige and Darcy both turned to face her at the same time.
"No clue," Paige paused before continuing onto her theory, "But I'm guessing that whoever called us all here cut the curtain rope and was actually planning all of this," she guessed looking at Manny, Mia and Darcy who were all wide- eyed, "I'm just saying, it would make sense…" she trailed off.
"You seem to know a lot about this," Mia muttered very quietly under her breath. She quickly turned to face her locker once again, hoping that Paige hadn't heard her.
Paige frowned, "It's only common sense hun," she smirked and also turned around to grab the rest of her things. She was feeling a bit annoyed with Mia seeing as she hadn't spoken much earlier and now that she had it had been sort of accusing towards Paige.
Another awkward silence fell upon the empty locker room. Manny let out a loud sigh, "I can't take this anymore!" she let out more loudly than she had thought and her voice echoed throughout the change room. "We can't blame one another for what happened to Emma," she began, calming herself a little, "Yes Paige may have good guesses but that doesn't mean that we have to blame her," she said.
Darcy nodded in agreement, "You are totally right," she said, "We will get out of this and we can't turn against each other on our way," she replied letting out a soft sigh. She looked at them all, "Talking about getting out of here, we should probably get going," she suggested.
Manny and Mia nodded. They moved around the center bench and back towards the way out. Paige was going through her clothes and realized she had forgotten top so she ran quickly back to her locker. "One sec," she said opening her locker.
Manny, Mia and Darcy waited.
Suddenly there was a loud snap that came from the row of lockers where Paige was standing. Next, the whole set of lockers had fallen on top of Paige and she was stuck beneath them. "Oh my god!" Manny yelled.
The three other girls ran towards Paige but it was too late. The lockers had fallen on her head and she was…dead. Darcy began hyperventilating. Manny walked around the fallen lockers and accidentally kicked a bolt. She picked it up.
"I don't think these lockers fell accidentally," she said as she picked up the bolt. Mia walked over to Manny to check things out with her.
"Somebody must've loosened the bolt," she said stating the obvious, "But I didn't see anyone other than us in here," she proved a point and went to kneel beside Darcy, who was mourning over Paige's death.
"Me either," Darcy said quietly. And then there was a loud BANG! Like someone had kicked a locker. The three girls screamed and got up and began to run towards the door still screaming as they got out of the change room doors.
The guys entered the change room probably more confident than they should be at this point, considering what happened to Emma. "Dudes, this is so not right," Spinner said as they all entered the smelly locker room.
JT nodded, "I know, it stinks in here," JT joked trying to get everyone's spirits back up a bit. Most of the guys turned to JT and glared at him for a moment, "Sorry," he said, "I was just trying to lighten up the mood," he apologized.
"Well, it didn't work," Sean smirked but continued walking forward. He thought about how Emma hadn't deserved to go down that way.
Marco butted in before things got worse, "Let's not fight you guys," he said trying to convince everyone that it wasn't any of their faults Emma was dead. Seeing as everyone had seen the entire thing it couldn't possibly be one of them, but then who could it be?
The boys locker room was quiet for once, no longer was it loud and rowdy like before P.E, but the air seemed to be filled with tension and disapproval. Nobody spoke for several moments.
Jimmy rolled a long the long way to the door, "Do you hear something?" he said finally frowning slightly. He stopped to listen closely for a second. The others stopped too.
"It sounds like…a shower running," Craig stated, a more questioned look fell upon his face as he looked towards the shower room with raised brows. He then tuned back to everyone else, "Should we check it out?" he asked.
Peter hesitated before speaking, "Sure, why not?" he said in more of a rhetorical manner. He was thinking that whatever was there, be it a person, and would not be able to fight off 8 guys. He was feeling a little more confident then he should, but Peter usually just felt over confident with himself.
Jay led everyone to the shower area and to their surprise there was a shower on, a single shower, "Somebody probably forgot to turn it off," he smirked and headed back towards the lockers seeing as there really wasn't much to see.
"But don't you think it's just a little weird that only one shower is on?" Craig questioned and Spinner moved closer to it to turn it off.
Spinner shrugged, "I guess but it's not like it hasn't happened before," he said turning the knob of the shower so that it was off. He walked away from the wet floor and back to where the others stood.
Marco shrugged, "Let's just get out of here," he said turning around towards the door. Before any of them could speak the lights went out. It was silent for a moment; all anyone could here was the soft dripping of the shower tap.
"Great the power went out," JT said loudly so that it echoed through out the shower room. It was quiet again; nobody spoke which was rather odd. A faint red light from the emergency exit sign was the only light visible right then.
"Guys, I swear to god something just brushed by me," Marco said quietly with a very worried tone in his voice. "G-guys what's going on?" he stuttered, he didn't exactly like being in the dark.
"It was probably nothing, the lights should come back on any second now," Spinner reassured Marco and then silence fell upon the locker room once again. Nobody spoke. But then the shower started up again, it scared everyone. Through the sound of the loud shower all anyone could hear was someone or something breathing very deeply.
Peter broke the silence with a rather random statement, "Did anyone turn on the shower?" he asked but there was no reply, everyone was probably too shocked about the strange breathing.
"People just stay calm everything should be up and running soon," Spinner said trying to comfort everyone, "Very soon, hopefully," he muttered under his breathe.
There was a loud 'Whoosh' and the lights came back on.
"See everyone nothing to wor-" he was cut off be the most terrible sight he had ever seen, it was quiet, too quiet as everyone stared at the floor and down the shower drain.
Lying on the wet floor was JT and Marco, both of them with a severe stab wound in the temple. The floor that had originally been covered in water was now covered in the two boy's blood. Everyone gasped at the site, "Oh shit," Spinner let out quietly.
Jay's eyes widened, he wanted to say something but he was just speechless at the moment, the sight of the two boys was gruesome, nobody spoke for what seemed like hours but was really only seconds.
Craig knelt beside JT and gently put his fingers on his throat trying to feel for a pulse, but the wound was in the temple, they had died instantly without pain. "Let's get out of here," he said, "We've got to stop whoever's doing this," he said trying to take charge and be a leader. He swallowed hard at the sight of them but looked away because he couldn't handle it anymore.
"Agreed dude," Spinner said in disgust over the dead bodies. He looked at everyone else; they all were nodding in agreement. Everyone began to leave the locker room when suddenly there was a loud BANG! All of the boys screamed, in a manly way, no they hollered loudly and began to run faster out of the locker room.
Jimmy rolled behind everyone, he didn't, like the feeling of being last in the locker room but someone had to be, they came close to the doors. They were still yelling as they came out of the doors.
Remember Reviews are great :)
