"Alright guys come on move it along, there's nothing to see here!" One of the men from the ambulance shouted as they reeled Christy's body into the back of the vechile.
"Get to your classes and leave the nice men alone!" One of the teachers from the dorm snapped. Beartrice sighed and turned to Eunice who was nervously stuffing her face with chocolate.
"You wanna walk with me?" Beartirce asked with a smile. Eunice nodded
"Yeah sure. What you got? English?"
"Yeah."
The two began walking but got stopped by Jimmy. Jimmy was the sort of new kid in school who seemed like an errand king. There was not a favour he'd turn down. He put his arm out infront of the two nerds
Beartrice's green eyes looked at him "What do you want?" She asked. Jimmy smirked
"I heard there was a murder. In your dorm room. Mind tellin' me the info?"
Beartrice glared at him "Jimmy I don't want to think about it...let alone talk about it!" She stormed past him and into the school . It was full of gossiping students and furious teachers.
"Beartrice!" She heard a familiar voice shout. She spun around, coming face to face with Algie. His bright ginger hair was a mess and he looked tired.
"Oh hey Algie."
The boy gave her a huge grin "I heard about Christy...many apologies but we need to get a move on with our project."
"Algie, can it wait a while? I mean after witnessing a dead body I would atleast like to take a break from everything."
Algie looked a little dissapointed but understood her wishes. He nodded "Well I should get going to class. See you round!"
And he waddled off, almost dropping his books as he did. She watched until she could no longer see him. Suddenly a boney hand clutched her shoulder. She turned around to see . The pointy nose teacher looked down at the girl.
"Yes?" Beartrice asked, pushing her glasses back onto her face
"You there...are you Beartrice?"
The nerd nodded slowly. Why was she looking for her? She hadn't done anything.
" is waiting for you in the office. Hurry along now." Then the teacher walked off aswell. Beartrice made her way to the head masters office and walked inside.
"Sir? You wanted to see me?" She asked as she entered. The old man looked up from all his paper work and smiled.
"Yes, yes take a seat."
She obeyed and sat down.
"So Beartrice I believe you were Christy's room mate before the terrible accident."
Beartrice nodded "Yes that is correct."
"Well, you wouldn't happen to know who did this terrible thing? Did she have any one who held a grudge against her or anything like that?"
Beartrice thought for a second "Well, Mandy got annoyed with her when she messed up the routine in cheerleading but...I don't think Mandy would go as far as killing her."
The teacher nodded "If that's all you know, then you may leave."
She rose up and began to walk towards the door when he spoke one last time
"But just remember," she turned "I'm watching you."
And with that she left.

AFTER GYM CLASS
"That sucked by the way." Mandy said yet another time to poor Beartrice "You'll never be able to be a cheerleader. Get out of this bathroom!"
Beartrice obeyed the popular girl and left. Mandy then turned to everyone else
"You guys also suck. I mean what the hell was all the falling down? You will NEVER be good enough."
The girls all frowned at Mandy before leaving aswell. Mandy quickly turned to one of the toilet cubicles and threw herself into it. She hurled up everything she had ate that day.
"What the hell I don't remember having peach." She muttered as she got back up. She turned around to walk back out just to come face to face with ghost face.
"Oh my god you are so lame get the hell out of my face." She said and tried to push past him. He grabbed her skinny arm with his gloved hand
"Take that dumb mask off it makes you look even more pathetic then you actually are."
Suddenly he took out a shining knife from behind his back and said in a cruel deep voice
"You better shut up or you'll end up like your friend. Do you want that?"
Mandy sniggered "What the hell is this? Are you trying to re act Scream?"
"I mean it bitch if you're not quiet I'll rip your insides out!" and with that she got one single stab in the stomach
An expression of shock covered her face as she felt the horrible pain from the wound
"Now I'm going to ask you some questions. If you get them wrong I'll kill you if you get them right...well we'll see about that."
"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Mandy screamed
The man just laughed "You silly girl. All the teachers are out on the field. No one can hear you."
She tried to kick and punch and wiggle free but she just couldn't. The hand that was on her arm moved to her throat, tightly squeezing it
"First question," He started "Why are you such a bitch?"
"I...I...am not!" She choked
He laughed "Wrong." That earned her another stab
"Second question, do you wanna die?"
Mandy shook her head violenty
"Oh didn't I tell you?" He laughed "It's oppisite day."
Then her short life was ended by the sharp blade cutting through her throat. He let go of her and she fell to the floor. Quickly, he sat her on the toilet and shut the door as he left.
x.x.x.x
Everybody came rushing in after their gym session was over. It had been the kids turn to do sports .
The girls came in, laughing and smiling. Melody needed to use the toilet and the only one working at the time was the one Mandy's dead body was sat upon. She walked over and knocked on the door
"hello? I need to use the toilet so could you please hurry?"
No answer. She realized something, the lock. It's colour was usually red when the door was locked. It was green. The door was open. Melody, thinking no one was inside, pushed it open to met with the horrific sight of Mandy. She screamed and ran out of the toilet. Everyone else followed, some of them not really knowing what was going on but following anyways.
"Girls! What the hell is wrong?" One of the prefects asked
Once Melod calmed down she replied "IT'S MANDY! SHE'S DEAD IN THE TOILET!"
The prefect thought it was a joke, but checked it out anyways. He came out looking as pale as a ghost.
"Someone call the cops!"

The next day...
News had spread fast about Mandy's murder. Beartrice didn't want to sound mean but she was glad the anorexic bully was dead. That meant one less bully for her.
She looked around at everyone else. Some where crying, some where slightly smiling and some where just as neutral as before.
Suddenly an unexpected person sat beside her. She glanced to see Gary Smith. The pyscho of the school.
Uncomfortably she shuffled in her seat
"Hey nerd." He whispered
She gulped "Hi."
He smirked as he realized she looked uncomfortable "Oh Beartrice don't be scared of me. What you need to be scared of is getting your insides pulled on the outside."
She looked at him "What are you talking about?"
He laughed "You're so dumb I don't know why people call you a nerd. Don't you see? This killed is after you." He pointed to her
"Me? How do you know that?"
"It's pretty obvious even someone with no brain like Ted would be able to recgonise. Christy. Your dorm roomate. Mandy. Your lifetime bully. This guy is going for everyone you know. Taking down each and everyone one of you friends and your bullies."
Beartrice quirked her eye brow "Your theory may be wrong. This killed could be after anyone. Not just me."
Gary seemed to get angry at that "Don't tell me I'm wrong!" He snapped. The whole class turned to them even looked up from her desk
Gary was out of his seat now
"Gary Smith! Sit your ass back down in that chair!" yelled
"Don't forget Beartrice! The Scream movies! Everything that happened in them! Billy Loomis and Stu took down every friend Sidney had! Thats what this guy is doing to you!" And with that he was gone. Everyone stared at Beartice who looked completley dumbfounded.
She turned around in silence. Everyone started laughing
"Pyscho!" Lola and Pinky yelled.
Beartrice agreed with those two but could Gary's theory be right? Was this killer stalking her?
She had to find out...
