'Let's just go. We can get them later, Dan.' Eric said.
'I want to kill them now.' Daniel said menacingly.
'Yeah, but mate, think about it. If they have cell phones, they can call the coppers now. At least get something out of this and kill someone.'
'They don't have cell phones. I grabbed Gabriella's on the way out and the rest are still in the changing room.' Daniel said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
'What about the coach?' James said, raising his eyebrows.
Daniel looked as if he'd completely forgotten about him. 'Right, right. That's good. Let's do this.'
He cocked his gun and walked off around the corner. 'That's our boy.' James said, smiling sickeningly.
Screaming and gunshots could be heard just seconds afterwards.
'Hey, hey. Look. They're gone. They went off round the corner.' Chad said, looking through the window of the door.
'Seriously, guys – Where's my dad?' Troy was starting to get worried.
'Well, he's not dead, that's for sure.' Zeke said, pointing out of the window.
Troy looked out the window and saw his father on the phone. 'He's probably calling the police.'
'And hopefully an ambulance, by the sound of it.' Gabriella said, gulping slightly, listening to the screams from outside.
'Come on, Ry.' Sharpay hauled her brother up with the help of Zeke and Kelsi. He leaned on her for support as they started to make another quick escape.
'I don't want to go out there.' Chad whined.
'Fine, we'll take you as bait.' Sharpay snapped. She obviously didn't deal well in bad situations; she was changing her mood easily.
'Thanks.' Chad rolled his eyes.
Sharpay was about to retaliate but Gabriella stepped in. 'Guys! If you want to get out of here, stop arguing.'
They made their way out of the gym, Ryan leaning on Chad and Sharpay, Troy holding Gabriella's hand. Kelsi and Jason were holding hands too, but neither noticed their crush doing so.
'Why are you going that way? The door's this way.' Sharpay hissed.
'If you didn't notice, there are many gunshots coming from that direction.' Chad whispered back.
'Do you want to be stuck in here?' she murmured, exasperated.
'No, but I don't want to die!' Chad said, a little too loudly.
The gunshots grinded to a halt. They heard voices.
'Did you hear that?'
'Yeah. It sounded like Danforth.'
'Way to go, Chad.' Sharpay muttered sarcastically.
'It came from over there.'
'Let's go.'
The Wildcats looked at each other. 'Run!' Troy whispered.
They all ran to the nearest classroom. There were no lights on and all the guys were comforting the girls. Even Ryan tried to reassure Sharpay, though he was losing blood quickly and he knew it. They all hid under the tables quickly as footsteps were heard. No-one dared breathe. They heard whisperings. Suddenly James, Eric and Daniel started to head out the door.
Troy and Gabriella, still holding on to each other, started to crawl out from underneath their table. Both stood up and as they started to calm down, Daniel whipped round and fired. He'd known they'd been there all along.
Troy tried to absorb the pain as the bullet made contact with his chest. It went straight through him and into his girlfriend. One bullet had felled them both.
The rest of them looked on in horror as the couple fell. Before they hit the ground, Chad and Zeke skidded over and caught them. Daniel fired again, but realised there were no more bullets.
'Damn it!' Jason ran over and quickly shut the door before any more bullets came.
Gabriella was already out cold, blood pouring from just above her chest. Troy was barely awake but he turned his head towards his girlfriend.
'Gabi. Wake up. Gabi.'
Chad hauled him up into a sitting position, which only caused more blood to spurt out. He laid him down again, and all Troy knew was darkness.
