CHAPTER SIX
Students wandered around the campus searching for their friends and the Seniors couldn't wait to share what they had seen that morning. Stu Macher had helped Indie Prescott out of his car, his jacket around her shoulders, before he leaned in for a passionate kiss. The new couple intertwined their hands before walking into the school.
Tatum, Sydney, and Stu and Indie were all gathered around Tatum's locker and laughing at the story of Sydney punching Gale Weathers.
"Took you two long enough." Tatum stated, her head gesturing towards the couple's intertwined hands.
"What?" Indie blushed.
"Do you know how many nights I spent with Stu helping him plan ways to tell you?" Tatum smirked.
"Tatum." Stu groaned.
"That's what you two were doing." Indie realised, chuckling at her boyfriend's embarrassment.
"This is a mistake, I shouldn't be here." Sydney interrupted the light-hearted conversation. All around the group, students were whispering and staring at the younger Prescott twin.
"I want you to meet me here right after class. Okay, Syd? You two are staying at mine until your father gets back."
"Alright."
"Actually, Tate. Indie is staying with me." Stu corrected.
"Haven't seen Billy around. Is he really pissed?" Sydney said, guilt on her face.
"Oh, you mean after you branded him the Candyman? No, his heart is broken." Stu explained.
"Stu." Tatum warned, whacking him on the shoulder. Indie stayed quiet, not wanting to admit she agreed with Stu.
Just then, a man in a Ghostface costume ran down the hall making ghost noises.
"Why are they doing this?" Sydney said, distressed.
"Are you kidding? It's like Christmas." Stu said, joy on his face.
"Stupidity Leak!" Tatum sighed, hitting Stu yet again.
"Take it easy." Stu put his hands up in defence.
Before the group could say anything else, Sydney took off down the hall crying.
"Syd, wait!" The girls yelled and Indie tried to take off after her sister. However, both Tatum and Stu put their arms out to stop the girl.
"Just give her time." Tatum said.
The bell rang and the trio separated to go to their classes, unaware of the conversation Billy and Sydney were having.
Indie and Stu were sat in Biology together messing around and not really paying attention to the video on the TV once the PA gave an announcement that made all the students cheer.
"I need your attention now, kids. Due to the recent events that
have just occurred, effective immediately, classes will be
suspended until further notice. The Woodsboro police department has issued a city wide curfew beginning at 9:00 tonight."
"Guess they've deemed it a serial killer." Indie whispered.
Stu pressed a kiss to the side of his girlfriend's head, giving her hand a squeeze. "I'll keep you safe."
The couple walked out of class, their arms wrapped around each other and met the rest of the gang at the fountain (Billy and Randy excused.)
"I don't know what you did Sydney, but on behalf of the entire school we say "Thank you!" Stu cheered, being insensitive to the fact that Sydney was not smiling. At all.
"Drop it, Stu!" Indie whispered harshly, discreetly pointing to Sydney.
"I say... an impromptu party tonight at my house to celebrate this fiesta. What do you say?" Stu chuckled.
"Are you serious?" Sydney said, outraged.
"If this little vixen doesn't invite the entire world we'll be okay." Stu said, squeezing Indie's shoulders affectionately. "Intimate gathering, intimate friends."
"What do you say, Syd? I mean pathos could have it's perks." Tatum suggested.
"Totally protected. Yo, I am so buff. I've got you covered, girl." Stu joked, flexing his arms.
"Come on Syd, for us? It will be fun." Indie and Tatum pleaded, the two girls pulling puppy dog eyes.
"Okay, whatever." The younger Prescott rolled her eyes.
"Yeah? Nice. Cool, you guys bring food alright?" Stu smiled before him and Indie left the two girls.
