Joes POV:
While everyone was distracted, me, Nick, Macy, Julie, and Eilie sprinted over to the door. Luckily, the others were a little preoccupied with Doug to notice us. We opened the door and ran out into the hallway. We heard Adam yell something but we were too busy sprinting down the hallway. We ran to the main door and tried to open it but it wouldn't budge. Shit. They locked the doors. I told them to move into the empty classroom to our left and lock the door. They did. That gave me time to run around and check every single door. I ran for ten minutes straight only to come to the conclusion that every door in this freaking school is locked. I had to go tell the others so I made my way back to the room. I knocked on the door and all jumped but Nick ran over and opened the door.
"They have locked every door in this school so we are trapped. They're going to come after us eventually, so we need to split up. Macy and I will go together and Nick, Julie, and Eilie, you go in a group. We will all meet up in the gym. Make it there as fast as possible and if you get in any trouble, text one of the people in the other group. Okay?" They all nodded. The plan was to get to the gym and call Kevin from there, because that's the only place we get service. We will hide in the locker room and wait until Kevin is able to unlock a door.
"Go!" I yelled as we split up and ran down the hall. Macy and I watched as the other three sprinted down the hall. I grabbed her hand and we ran down the hall. Luckily for us, we are both pretty fast runners. We turned the corner at about 60 miles an hour and ran smack into Randy, Travis, and Zack. We were all a little dazed for a second as we laid on the floor but quickly got our bearings. Macy and I jumped up and ran the opposite direction, even faster than we had been going before. Apparently it wasn't fast enough though, because we could hear loud footsteps and they were gaining on us. We had almost made it all the way down the hall, when I was yanked backwards by Macy's hand. I turned around only to see her screaming in pain as Zack grabbed her hair and started pulling her towards him. She looked at me with pleading eyes. Forgetting about Randy and Travis, I lunged at Zack, Punching him in the shoulder, making him wince, and let go of Macy. She quickly ran to the side as I let go of Zack. I grabbed her hand again and we ran in a full out sprint down the hall. The gym was in sight. I was so happy that I could see the gym that I wasn't watching where I was going. Me being the clutz I am, tripped over air and went down, hard. I was still holding Macy's hand so I pulled her down with me. If we weren't running for our lives, it would have been pretty funny. Before I could get up, I felt 200 pounds of muscle jump on top of me and lift me up. I started thrashing around and kicking. Apparently that wasn't helping anything because whoever grabbed me, slapped me in the face and threw me against the concrete wall. My head broke my fall. My vision was blurring and I was dizzy. I looked over at Macy to see her trying to fight off the three guys that were trying to get her. I couldn't just sit here and watch her suffer so I stood up, ignoring the dizziness that came, and ran over to help her. Travis had her in his hold so I ran up to him and punched him in the face with all my strength making him drop her. She quickly got up running over to Randy and kicked him in the groin with the toe of her shoe. He gasped and fell to the floor next to Travis. That left Zack. Macy and I both charged at him. I kneed him in the stomach and he bent over forwards grabbing it. Macy took a running start and punched him in the back of the head knocking him out. He fell too. We took this as an invitation to finally make it into the gym and run and hide in the locker room. We sat down next to each other on the bench and sat there silently and tried to get our breathing under control.
"Thanks for helping me back there." Macy said as she looked at me.
"No problem. I'd do it anytime for you."
She smiled at me and leaned to kiss me. Right as we were about to kiss, Nick, Julie, and Eilie came barreling into the locker room, sweaty and out of breath.
"Gee guys, thanks for running the moment." I joked to them.
"Sorry man. You just told us to meet you in here." Nick said, still panting.
"What happened to you guys?" I asked.
"Adam and Tyler."
"What did they do?" I asked him curiously.
"Well we were running down the hall and all of a sudden we heard footsteps behind us, so we ran faster but those guys were really fast and they caught up to us and Adam grabbed Eilie and Tyler grabbed Julie and started hitting them so I ran up to Adam and punched him in the jaw, he dropped Eilie and she ran over and kicked Tyler, in a place you do not want to be kicked. He fell over, then Julie and Eilie ran over and helped me with Adam. They started kicking and hitting, he let me go, and we sprinted here." Nick told us.
"Weird. That almost sounds like what happened to us." I told them.
"Yeah well Eilie and I are going to go sit over there to catch our breath. Can you call Kevin, Jules?" Nick asked.
"Yeah,sure." Julie told him as she walked over to the other side of the locker room, leaving me and Macy.
"So where were we?" I asked her as I leaned in to kiss her. Our lips finally met right when Julie came in.
"Sorry to interrupt again but Kevin is coming. He said to meet him at the front doors and her will unlock them." She told us.
"Okay," I said as I grabbed Macy's hand. "Lets go get Nick and Eilie and get out of here.
We walked over to where they were, to find them kissing each other.
"Sorry to interrupt guys, but we have to go. Now." Julie told them.
"Ugh. Okay. Fine," Nick said as he stood up and grabbed Eilie's hand.
We walked towards the front doors. It only took us about two minutes to get there since the gym was close to the doors.
"Finally," Macy breathed as we reached the doors and saw Kevin standing inside of them.
"Hey guys. I unlocked this door so lets get the hell out of here, now." Kevin told us as he pushed the door open.
"You six aren't going anywhere." We heard a voice behind us declare. We all turned around to see Adam standing there with Doug, Tyler, Randy, Travis, and Zack behind him.
"Run!" I yelled as we all turned to the door. We were met by Chris who stood in our path. That son of a bitch had locked the doors and now had the only key in his hand.
