Chapter 2: Party

Luke POV

I was about to head off to my next class when Sanjay and Liz intercepted me.

"Hey Luke, my place 9:00 tonight," Sanjay told me, grinning.

"What? Why?" I asked confused.

"He's holding a party to celebrate the new school year. It's normally a lot of fun if you don't get wasted and arrested." Liz told me.

"Arrested?" I asked, getting anxious.

"Well it's nothing to worry about if you don't drink, it rarely happens unless you're Sanjay."

"Hey!" Sanjay cut in, "Last time I wasn't the one who was arrested!"

Liz rolled her eyes, "Maybe not arrested but you were fined."

"I need to get to class, guys," I butted in and they nodded.

"But you'll go, right?" Sanjay asked,

"Are you sure I won't get arrested?" I asked

Liz nodded, "The only one who that's ever happened to was Sanjay, and he can't remember most of them because he was so drunk."

"Alright," I sighed, knowing they wouldn't let me into class until I accepted.

They both grinned and ran off in the other direction.

I could hear the loud music from Sanjay's dorm before I had set foot into the building.

'Why am I even here?' I asked myself mentally as I stepped into the dark room.

"Hey, Luke!" called Liz from behind the DJ booth. I stepped through the crowd to stand next to her.

"Is it always this loud?" I asked trying to be heard over the sound of the music.

"Yeah," answered Liz, "Isn't a party if it isn't loud." she turned down the music and adjusted the microphone on her headset.

"Alright everyone! Hope you're all enjoying yourselves! Refreshments and booze are all in the other room. If you have any requests for music just come up here and write them on the paper. Party on!" she turned up the music and put the headset back around her neck.

"I love saying that." she grinned.

'Oh dear,' she mouthed to me as gestured towards Sanjay, who was obviously drunk.

"Honestly! You can't leave him alone for more than five minutes without him finding something to drink!" she said. Some people came over to the DJ stand and she glanced at the list before scanning through the laptop hooked up to the set.

'This is going to be a long night.'

Liz POV

It was two hours through the party and some group of girls had taken over the DJ stand, playing some god-awful boy band music. I decided I needed some air and left the room. It was almost midnight and pitch black outside, only a few street lamps illuminating the dormitory buildings.

Best of all, it was quiet. I could still hear the muffled sound of the music but it was too quiet to be disturbed by it.

I heard a shuffling and turned around.

"The party's up there, mate." I called out. No answer.

"You alright?" I asked, walking towards the source of the shuffling. Still no answer.

Turning the corner, I saw what had been making the shuffling noise.

The last thing I could remember before everything turned to black was a scream. My scream.

Luke had just stepped out of the room when he heard someone screaming. Eyes widening, he ran outside only to see...

Don't kill me! *hides*

What could have happened?

Just as an extra note I wrote the party scene while listening to 'Take Me Away' by Jessie M and 'Now You're Gone' by Basshunter. So I recommend playing them while you're reading.

Next chapter should be up soon.
