Scream V (2022) My Version

Chapter Three: Woodsboro High (New Blood)

That afternoon, students can be seen around Woodsboro high school property. Sitting at a bench near the parking lot are nine students who seem to be friends. The teens are Wes Hicks seventeen year old boy with blond and black hair and a bit of a bookish nerd. He continues to glance at his pocket which houses his phone. Next to him is Mike Wellington; a seventeen year old teen with dark hair cut short, a little peach fuzz under his chin signaling a sign of growing beard, and a greasy disposition. Sitting on the table across from Wes was Amber Freeman, a sixteen year old petite dark haired girl with mysterious eyes. Sitting next to her are the Meeks'Martin twins Chad and Mindy, both are seventeen, Chad a jock with short curly brown hair, brown eyes and a muscular physique. Mindy has long curly brown hair, brown eyes and is a lesbian. Proud of it to. Standing next to them are Liv McKenzie, David Dukesford, Stacy Hamil and Nate Cooke. Liv a seventeen year old teen with dark hair, green eyes and is considered one of the hottest girls in school. David a pale seventeen year old jock with red hair, blue eyes and considered a bit of an airhead. Staci a sixteen year old blond bombshell with blue eyes and a voluptuous body. Nate is a seventeen mixed teen with dirty brown hair, brown eyes and an inspiring musician. He and Stacy are dating.

The group are seated next to a very familiar fountain. Students mingle as they head to their bikes or cars. School's out. The group are talking.

"She's coming?" Amber asked.

"Yeah." Wes said. "I spoke with her mom and her sister and father are on their way."

"Watch everything get worse." Amber responds sucking her teeth.

"Why are you so mad?" Wes asks.

"Cause she hates her sister. Mike responds smirking. Amber frowns at him "See."

"Yeah, and you know why." Amber said.

"It's cause Sam hates her." David says.

"Correction Sam hates how you broke her sister's heart." Wes said.

"Facts." Chad said.

"It's old news. I apologized to Tara and was going to make it up to her." Amber said.

"Problem is that you didn't apologize correctly." Mindy said.

"Shut up Mindy. Who's to say you and your psycho brother didn't attack Tara last night." Amber yelled. Mindy looks over at her hurt and angered.

"First off we're not psycho and second I nor my brother would attack anyone." Mindy retorts back.

"Yeah besides we're each other's alibis." Chad said.

"Where did the bruises come from?" Mike asked.

"Football practice jackass." Chad responds angrily.

"Who you calling jackass?" Mike asked standing up ready to fight.

"You asshole." Chad said standing up ready to fight. Mindy pulls him back down.

"Mike sit down." Wes said.

"Both of you calm down." Nate said. "Besides I can vouch for my teammate here. He got those bruises during practice."

"You know I was thinking, with the attack on our friend it would be best if we all follow each other on Find My Friends app." Chad said.

The friends all look to him, confused. She exhales.

"He wants us to accept his Find My Friends request." Mindy explains.

"It's the safest move with a would-be killer on the loose! I know where you are, you know where I am-" Chad explained.

"You just wanna stalk Liv." Nate said jokingly. Chad blushed.

"Ewell." Liv exclaimed turning her face up at Chad who looks away. Mike, David and Nate laugh at him. "I will not be accepting your friend request so you can stalk me."

"I wouldn't be stalking you. I would just try to protect you." Chad said.

"I don't need you protecting me." Liv said frowning at Chad. She clearly doesn't share his feelings.

"Ouch. Dissed" Stacy said smirking.

"Is this because you want to have sex with her?" Amber teased as the group laughs.

"It's not like that." Chad tries to defend himself.

"Bullshit!" Mike said laughing. "I overheard you in the bathroom jerking off thinking about Liv." The other gasps. Chad is embarrassed. They laughed. Even Mindy was amused.

"Fuck you. That's bullshit!" Chad exclaimed.

"OH LIV! OH FUCK I'M CUMMING!" Mike said mocking Chad for masturbaiting in the bathroom. The others all laughed making Chad feel worse.

"Fuck you." Chad said lowering his head.

"I would never fuck you Chad." Liv said. "I won't lower my standards." Chad rolled his eyes hurt.

"Go fuck yourself Liv." Mindy said defending her brother. Liv rolled her eyes.

"Don't do it, Liv, there's a psycho out there. Make yourself harder to find. Delete social media, tape over your phone camera, disable GPS-" Wes said.

"Thank you, Edward Snowden. By the way, your mom just asked me if I was involved in Tara's attempted murder, so that was fun." Chad said clearly annoyed.

Wes looks over to see his mother sheriff Judy Hicks standing by her cruiser with her deputies. She waves at him cheerily, proud Mom. He shrinks back down.

"I'm sure she's asking everybody." Wes said.

"Not just people like you, who look like 'roided out serial killers." Amber said.

"What about you, Amber? That Snapchat could have been pre- recorded, so what's your alibi?" Chad asked to her.

"How could it be me? Tara literally saw the killer and me in the same frame, genius." Amber said.

"But aren't there always two killers in Stab movies?" Liv asked.

Mindy looks up from her phone.

"Not in 3 or 8. Stay in your lane, Liv." Mindy said. "The press still isn't saying Ghostface." She continued.

"Mom doesn't want to cause a panic." Wes explains.

"It'll get out. It always gets out by the second or third killing." Mindy said. They looked over at her. "What? I know these things. It feels like it's right out of a horror movie."

"Jesus, Mindy - there wasn't a first killing. Tara's alive." Amber said.

"Hm. I mean, she could still die-" Mindy said.

"Fuck, Mindy! It's talk like this that make people believe we're fucking psycho." Chad complained.

"Oh yeah that's it alright." Mike said sarcastically shaking his head.

"Or the killer could come back for her-" Mindy said further annoying the group.

"Can you please tell your sister to stop talking?" Stacy asked

"I'm just saying, something's different this time." Mindy continues.

"I'm telling you, arm up. Pepper spray? Check. Taser? Check-" Wes said checking to ensure he's well armed..well as armed as legally possible.

"Girlfriend repellent? Check." Amber said teasingly.

Wes reddens as Liv sits up straight.

"Holy shit, is that Vince?" She asked looking at a skeezy looking dude hanging out in the parking lot. This is Vince Schneider; a twenty-one year old with sleeve tattoos, dark hair and brown eyes leering at Liv. A menacing presence.

"That creep you hooked up with last summer?" Stacy asked.

"Yeah, he worked with Tara and me. He's been stalking my Instagram the last few weeks, saying creepy shit." Liv said. "He is pretty fucking hot though."

"He worked with Tara?" Amber asked.

Chad rolls up his sleeves clearly jealous.

"I think it's time to introduce him to Hobbs and Shaw..." Chad said referring to his biceps. Liv rolled her eyes.

"Maybe not the best idea to incite violence in front of the Sheriff? Looks like he's leaving anyway." Stacy said.

With a lascivious air kiss, Vince gets into his truck. Liv continues to stare at Vince.

"Hm. Tara said she fought back, hard. You've got bruises." Mindy said to her brother.

"I said it was from practice. And can I point out that suspecting your twin brother of attacking our mutual friend is like seventeen kinds of fucked up?" Chad said. Mindy shrugs.

Amber looks up from her phone having gotten a text from Christine.

"Tara's awake, she just texted. I'm going to the hospital. You coming?" Amber asked.

"Can't, but I'll meet you later." Liv says. goodbye and heads to his car. As she goes, Liv notices Vince, in the parking lot, still eyeing her...she goes over to his car and gets in. Chad looks on feeling jealous. David comes up behind him.

"Never gonna happen bro. Not even in your dreams." David said amused.

"Shut up man." Chad said as the group leave the bench and head for the hospital.

Note: Adding, Mike, David, Stacy and Nate gives the story more characters to kill off.
