Chapter 8
Darren pushed Sidney through the halls of the school on the next day, they both walked into the main office where Mrs. Morris, the lady who Darren got his information from was there.
"Hello, Darren, how can I help you?" she asked.
"Hi, my cousin Sidney would like to chaperone the school dance on Saturday."
"Wonderful," she said handing Sidney a piece of paper.
"Preparation is starting at four o' clock and then dance starts at seven."
"Okay, thanks," Sidney said silently.
Sidney and Darren walked out of the main office and into the crowded hallway. Sidney hugged Darren goodbye and headed out the door.
"So?" said the surprising sound of Gordon's voice, "I hear Sidney Prescott is chaperoning the school dance."
"Yeah, what about it?" Darren said looking at Gordon.
"Do you know what this means? A survivor of all those massacres is going to be at our school! She's a celebrity here!"
"She's not that much of a celebrity," Darren said.
"Are you kidding me? Imagine if a person had accidentally jumped of a cliff four times and survived each impact, it's pretty much the same."
"I still don't see why it's a big deal."
"It's a big deal because it's Sidney Prescott."
"I never knew you were such a fan of her."
"Well believe me, I'm pretty sure everyone wants to take a glimpse at her."
Darren made a disgusted face and headed off to class.

Darren walked into Gale's house, he did the usual by setting his stuff down on the couch and grabbed a glass of lemonade from the fridge.
"Hey, Darren," Sidney said walking into the house with a bunch of groceries in her hands, Gale was following behind her in the same situation as Sidney, "can you grab a couple of these?"
"Yeah, sure," Darren said taking a bunch of grocery bags and setting them on the kitchen table.
"Hey, guys, I have a question," Darren asked taking a can of soup out of a grocery bag.
"Yeah what is it?" Gale asked.
"I was wondering, do any of you have any video cameras, like spy cameras?"
"I think Dewey has a couple."
"Do you think he'll let me use them?"
"I don't think so, he doesn't like it when I touch his equipment," Gale said taking out more groceries.
"Dammit!"
"We'll have to think of another plan."
"Darren, I'm not so sure this is a good idea, you really could get hurt."
"Okay then, I won't go with my original plan, I'm still going to the dance though."
"I guess I'm still chaperoning, right?"
"Right you are!" Darren said pointing at Sidney.
"Okay, now can you help with the groceries?"
"Sorry, Sidney, I have homework to do right now."
Sidney sighed in frustration as Darren walked up the stairs into his guest bedroom. Since Dewey doesn't let anyone use his surveillance cameras Darren had to get them, he wouldn't really call it stealing, just borrowing from a friend. Darren looked out his door and saw no one coming up the stairs, this was the time Darren had to make his move. Darren has never snuck around before so this tiny adventure he was having seemed pretty exciting.
Darren knew that Dewey and Gale's room was right across from the upstairs washroom. Darren grabbed the plastic diamond looking doorknob and opened it real slowly to reveal a nice looking room, with a giant bed and a flat screen television looking over it. Darren saw Dewey in the bed soundly sleeping, he could see that he was badly bruised up from his injuries. Darren snuck across the room, he knew that at any moment Sidney or Gale could walk up and catch him.
He had to get to work and fast, also he had to do it quietly. Darren slowly crept up to the door to closed it so slowly that no once would hear the sound of it. Darren crept over to the dresser and slowly looked through all the drawers of it, this part made Darren feel perverted. He even looked through the closed and found nothing, the next place he looked was under the bed.
"Bingo!" he whispered to himself.
Under the bed he was a suitcase it was made entirely out of plastic, the kind of suitcase you would carry electronics in. He was about to take the suitcase out from under the bed until he heard something that made him jump. It was the sound of either Gale or Sidney coming up the steps. Darren panicked and hid under the bed with the suitcase. Darren didn't dare to look to see who was coming into the room.
Gale walked into the room and put down some pain killing medicine on the bedside table and kissed Dewey on the head, she then walked out the door and closed it quietly behind her. Darren felt like he could breathe again, he slowly crawled out from under the bed and took the suitcase with him. He crept back across the room and headed out the door. Darren ran down the hallway and into his room, he closed the door as quickly and quietly as possible.
Darren locked the door as he set the suitcase down on his bed and opened it up, it contained a whole bunch of mini cameras that he could take, he even saw a little instruction guide which had instructions on how to connect the cameras to your smartphone. That made it even more convenient, Darren took his book bag and stuffed all the cameras and wires into it, while he was doing it the sound of his door knocking made him jump.
"Darren," Sidney said on the other side.
"Just a second," Darren called out stuffing the cameras into his book bag. He zipped up his book bag and hid the suitcase under his bed. Darren ran over to his door and opened it up.
"Hey, Sid, what's up?" Darren asked in his most nonchalant voice.
"I was wondering what you would like for dinner?"
"Anything you want, I don't really have much of an appetite."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
"Are you feeling sick?"
"No, Sidney, I'm fine, just choose whatever you want to make."
Sidney walked back downstairs and Darren closed the door. He at least wanted to try out one of the cameras, he set one up on the left corner of his room facing his bed, he then downloaded the app onto his phone and he had to put a security code to access the footage, Darren turned the camera on while entering in the security code into his phone, once he entered the code he saw the entire room on his phone, he could see himself looking at his phone, on his phone! Darren was impressed the only thing he needed the next day was Gordon's help.
FOFOFOFOFOFOFOFOFOFO
Darren was walking through the halls of the school the next day, he spotted Gordon putting books into his locker. Darren didn't really know how to start of the conversation.
"Hey, Darren, I need to ask you a favour," said Darren walking up to him.
"Okay, what kind of favour?" Gordon asked not looking at Darren.
"I need you to keep guard at the gym doors while I hook up security cameras."
"Oh, so what's with the security cameras?"
"From one thing that Sidney told is that during a huge get together during a mass murder spree, disaster is bound to happen."
"Okay, so what's in it for me?"
"I thought you liked doing this kind of stuff."
Gordon looked up at the ceiling and down at Darren.
"You're right, so when is this little scheme happening?"
"During lunch."
"Okay, I'll be there."
FOFOFOFOFOFOFOFOFOFO
Darren and Gordon were both hiding in the boys washroom on the second floor. While everyone got out of the hallway they snuck out down the stairs and near the gym doors.
"Wait is anyone in there?" Darren asked.
"No, decorators aren't coming until after school," Gordon said.
"How do we get in?"
"That's easy," Gordon said smiling.
Gordon took his backpack and took out a box full of metal paper clips.
"How do you think I get into some people's lockers?"
"You do that?"
"Yeah, but I try not to be too suspicious, I'm very good at hiding my crimes."
Darren chuckled a bit as Gordon took the paper clip and nudged it inside the lock, he moved it around a little pick until there was a tiny 'click' and the gym doors automatically opened. The gym was nothing but pure empty, it had nothing but the bleachers and basketball hoops.
"Just stay here, I'll be right back," Darren said to Gordon.
Darren stepped into the barren gym, he knew he had to get to work right away. Darren decided to put one camera on each of the two basketball hoops. Darren grabbed a small step ladder that was near the entrance and attached it to the rim of the hoop. Darren did the same thing with the other hoop. Darren then wanted to put a camera on top of the bleachers so he climbed up and when Darren saw how high he was he started to get woozy. Darren was afraid of heights, he could never stand being high up and not in an enclosed space, he's alright in airplane, but if he was on skyscraper with no harness, he would start to panic.
Darren felt so dizzy on top of the bleachers that he bend over and puked on the back of them. His vision was all blurry, but he could see something right in front of him. It was a person dressed in all black wearing a white mask, it had something silver in its hand and was standing so calmly looking at Darren with a crooked head. Darren suddenly panicked at what he saw ghost face was right in front of him. He wanted to start running, but he was too slow and dizzy.
Darren saw ghost face walking right up to him, the killer attempted to stab him in the just, but Darren got out of the way just in time. The killer used his knife to trip Darren and he fell right of the bleachers onto the rock solid gym ground.
