"This fucking sucks!" Shouted Axel (Boy #9), filled with anger.

"First, that emo freak gets away and we still haven't found anybody else!" Shouted Victor (Boy #16).

"Just keep yelling like idiots, that'll bring people to us," Said Alisha (Girl #12), with a sneer on her face. Stephen (Boy #11) slapped her.

"Shut up bitch," He said.

"Hey, don't hit her like that," Said Nia (Girl #8).

"Victor, control this bitch," Said Stephen.

"Victor doesn't control me," Said Nia.

"He's the man in the relationship," Said Stephen.

"That doesn't mean anything!" Shouted Nia.

"Be quiet," Said Axel, "I hear someone."

Feet pounding. "This person is running practically full speed down a hallway," Said Victor.

"That must mean he's pretty stupid," Said Axel with a grin, "Victor get ready to shoot."

Victor got his gun at the ready. They were wrong about the person though, he wasn't stupid. He was actually smarter than all of them. It was Lawrence (Boy #8). The only reason he was running, was because he was being chased by a shadowy figure. A shadowy figure with a meat cleaver.

"There's two of em," Said Victor.

"Excellent," Said Axel.

Victor jumped out of the classroom and fired two shots. They both missed. Lawrence was surrounded. His weapon, a tube of lipstick, really wanted be very helpful.

"Stop, don't do this!" Shouted Lawrence. He didn't t want to die. Victor just snickered. He fired his gun. Lawrence jumped out of the way and all of the bullets missed. Victor had Lawrence trapped. He fired the gun-no bullet came out. He needed to reload.

Dave saw his chance. He ran forward with his meat cleaver. Lawrence dodged his attack so Dave charged at Victor. Axel ran out of the room and swung his sledgehammer at Dave. Dave dodged the attack and thrust his meat cleaver at Axel. He dodged it too. Victor swung down with his gun and hit Dave in the head with it. He fell to the ground.

Lawrence was long gone. He had run back the way he had come from, and was long gone. Axel swung his sledgehammer downwards. Dave rolled out of the way quickly. He saw four other people in the classroom. He knew he didn't stand a chance. He turned and ran.

Victor had finished reloading his gun and began firing. Victor really wasn't a good shot. All the shots missed Dave. He was out of sight.

"Again!" Shouted Axel angrily.

"Another one got away," Said Stephen.

"God dammit," Said Victor.

"This is your fault," Said Axel.

"My fault!" Shouted Victor.

"Yes, your fault. If you weren't such a bad shot, we would've had three dead already!" Shouted Axel.

"It's not that easy!" Shouted Victor.

"Oh yes it is," Said Axel.

"Oh yeah, like you would do any better!" Shouted Victor.

"You bet your ass I would," Said Axel, "I have experience in this area."

"Bullshit," Said Victor.

"I shit you not," Said Axel.

"Well I aint giving you this gun," Said Victor.

"And why the fuck not?" Asked Axel.

"Because I don't trust you, not for a second," Said Victor.

"Hey, I could've killed you a long time ago if I wanted to," Said Axel.

"Oh please, you knew if you came at me that I would just shoot you!" Shouted Victor.

"I'm not just talking about during this game," Said Axel.

"That's bull," Said Victor, "you never could've killed me."

"I beg to differ," Said Axel, "You don't know the connections I got."

"Guys, quit the arguing!" Shouted Nia.

"It won't do us any good," Said Alisha, "We need to just keep searching."

Axel glared at Victor, and then looked at everyone else. "Fine, let's go," He said.

Noel (Boy #4) and Linda (Girl #6) were walking down a hallway. Noel had made Linda run for a while, but that was just to make sure they had gotten a fair distance away from the others. But, lurking right behind them was Gilberto (Boy #20). He had been following them for most of the game. He was waiting for them to stop, that way he would have a perfect shot at attacking them.

The couple was holding hands as they wandered around the hallway. They had been silent for a while. Finally, Linda spoke up.

"Noel," She said.

He looked over at her. "What?" He asked.

"Do you… think maybe we should-Linda was interrupted.

"Commit suicide," Said Noel.

How had he known? It was true; Noel did know Linda better than her own best friends.

Linda had been thinking about suicide since the beginning of the game. The whole thing was just completely sick. Killing your own classmates? Your peers? The people you had grown up with? Absolutely disgusting! How could the government make them do that?

Linda nodded. "I was thinking the same thing", Said Noel, "But… I don't think we should. We need to spend the precious moments we still have… together. I think when it's our time… we'll know it."

He always knew what to say. Linda nodded. She knew he was right. They needed to spend as much time together as they possibly could. If they somehow managed to live to be the last two… well, she didn't really want to think about that right now. Linda just wanted to relish the precious time she had left. The two embraced.

Gilberto saw his opportunity. He knew he had to be quick. But before he could move, he heard footsteps. Noel and Linda quickly turned toward the stairs.

Kamryn (Girl #9) and Archie (Boy #18) were making their way up the stairs when they saw the couple there. Archie shrieked and hid behind Kamryn. She glared at him. "Have you guys seen Judy or Malik?" She asked.

Noel pushed Linda behind him, just in case they were planning to attack. "No I haven't, why?" He asked.

"I'm going to kill Malik's sorry ass," Said Kamryn, "And I'm just hoping Judy is okay."

"What happened?" Asked Noel.

"Archie says he saw Malik attack Judy," Said Kamryn. Archie merely nodded.

"Well maybe she attacked him first," Suggested Noel. He really didn't like Malik very much, but he didn't want the poor guy to get killed or anything.

"Judy wouldn't do that," Said Kamryn.

"Well maybe Archie is lying," Said Noel.

"Hey, I saw what I saw," Said Archie.

"Listen, even if Malik did attack Judy, she's okay now, right?" Asked Noel.

"So there's no need to kill him," Linda piped up.

"I don't fucking care, the point is, he attacked her!" Shouted Kamryn.

"I'm not letting you kill anybody," Said Noel.

"Oh really? How are you going to stop me?" Asked Kamryn.

Noel raised his machete. "I'm not going to attack you if you don't make me," He said.

"Noel!" Shouted Linda.

Noel turned to her. "I'm not letting another person die. Relax, I won't kill her, I'll just make sure she goes away," Said Noel.

"Please, let's just go back to the bathroom," Said Archie.

"No fucking way," Said Kamryn. She turned to Noel. "This is your last chance to get out of my way, before I make you," She said.

"Come at me bro," Said Noel. Linda smacked him in the back of the head. "Sorry, I've always wanted to say that," He said with a grin. His grin quickly faded as Kamryn marched up the stairs. Archie timidly followed her.

Gilberto watched with a huge smile on his face. He didn't even have to do anything. His work was being cut out for him.

"I'm sorry about this, but it has to be done," Said Kamryn. She quickly grabbed Archie's banjo from out of his hands and swung it at Noel. It made contact with his head. He cried out in pain. Linda screamed. Noel fell to the ground. Linda screamed again as Kamryn got ready to attack her.

Noel kicked her in the shin from his position on the ground. Kamryn ignored the pain and swung the banjo. Linda jumped back.

"Stop!" Shouted Archie.

"He brought this on himself," Said Kamryn. She was ready to strike with her brass knuckles, when a voice called out her name.

"Kamryn! KAMRYN, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" It was Judy. She limped down the hallway.

"Judy!" Shouted Kamryn. She completely forgot about Noel and Linda, and ran to give Judy a hug.

"Don't hug me please, it hurts," Said Judy. Kamryn released her.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah, just dandy," Said Judy sarcastically.

"Where is that motherfucker Malik?" Asked Kamryn.

"I took care of him," Said Judy.

"He's dead?" Asked Kamryn.

"Well no, but he probably will be soon," Said Judy.

Linda had helped Noel up and now the two, along with Archie and a hidden Gilberto, were watching the two cheerleaders converse.

"Did he just openly attack you?" Asked Kamryn.

Judy nodded. "He's fucking crazy," She said.

"Oh God, I'm so sorry," Said Kamryn.

"Hey don't be, it's over now," Said Judy.

"Well just that attack," Said Archie, "The game itself is bound to go on for a while longer."

"ARCHIE!" Shouted everyone angrily.

"I'm just saying," He said.

Wallace (Boy #6) knew he needed to escape. How long would it be until Randolph (Boy #17) and Aliyah (Girl #17) were going to kill him? Wallace knew they were planning to, he didn't understand why they didn't just do it. He was thankful though. He was given a chance to escape. But if they chased after him, he wouldn't be able to defend himself. Not with the piece of paper he had been given as a weapon. Wallace figured he was faster than the others, but would his quickness prevail? He didn't want to die, not at only eighteen.

He looked up and saw that Randolph and Aliyah were both idly looking around. Randolph was "keeping guard" even though for him, that mostly consisted of peeking his head out every now and then. Aliyah had decided to start working on her nails, yes at a time like this. Wallace didn't understand these people.

He knew he just needed to get a quick burst of energy and sprint toward the exit. He would then move through the natural maze of the school, and lose them somehow. Now was better than any other time. Randolph had walked in and was now talking with Aliyah. It was his chance to escape.

Fast as lightning, Wallace shot up and began to sprint toward the exit. He was out of the bathroom before Randolph and Aliyah even realized what was happening. He ran as fast as he could down the hallway and down the stairs. Were they following him? Were they going to kill him? Wallace didn't look back, he kept running.

Aliyah and Randolph had not gone after him. They didn't really have a reason to. It's not like they were planning to kill him or anything. They wondered why he had freaked out like that.

Wallace turned right and headed deeper into Zone 4.

His footsteps startled Clifton (Boy #15). He looked up and saw Wallace running right toward him. Excellent. Wallace had been in such a hurry, that he didn't even notice Clifton sitting down the hallway a ways. Now was Clifton's chance to get a kill.

He fired his gun rapidly in Wallace's direction. The girls in the classroom nearby heard the gunshots.

"Someone's out there," Said Ethel (Girl #10).

"We need to help them," Said Kailey (Girl #20).

"What are we supposed to do to help?" Asked Cadence (Girl #14).

"I have an idea," Said Chris (Girl #5).

Wallace had been hit in the leg by the bullets. He cried out in pain and collapsed onto the floor. Clifton had fired a lot of shots, and now needed to reload. He had Wallace in his sights, this guy was done for.

Clifton was done reloading and was just about to fire more shots, when he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head.

Chris had quietly sneaked out of the room she was in with Ethel's nightstick. She had hit Clifton with it, hard enough to knock him out. Chris grabbed Wallace's hand and helped him into the room where the others were. Cadence quickly shut the door and locked it.
