“Happy Halloween!!! Stay safe.” Mrs.Crossmum’s board says in orange writing with black little pacman ghost.

We been in here over 45 minutes and everybody's still taking their test. I finish within 10 minutes cause it's just Anatomy. And Anatomy is common sense and these students are stressed out of questions like..

“Sesamoid bones are found embedded in____? Joints, Muscles, Ligaments or Tendons?” Tendons. But nobody in here studies because they are too busy texting, eating hot cheetos with arizona tea or skipping class to smoke in the bathroom.

“Ms. Monroe, Mr.Vega would like to see you in his office.” Mrs. Crossmum whispers in my ear. I’m frightened because I know who Mr.Vega is, but I have no clue why he would want to speak with me. I been in this school for 4 years and never had any interaction with our Principal. “Come on don't keep him waiting..” She helps me gather my things and hands me a handwritten hall pass. With my chair scraping the ground guiding everyone’s eyes over to me. Questions like “Where you going?” and smacking of lips fill the room, I ignore it and head straight for the door.

Walking down the hall surprised how empty it looks.

Courtney Samuels comes from the around the corner and continue walking in front of me. Today he’s wearing a red adidas suit, he has a different color everyday like he had some relation with RUN D.M.C. He notice me staring at him and I throw my head down as if I were studying the cover of my book.

We continue walking down the hall and we see police officers lined up outside the Main Office which is connected to the Principal’s Office. We past the officers running into Mr. Vega who lead Courtney and I both to his office. “You two have a seat next to Mr. Tanguma..”

Leonard Tanguma the school mascot….Annoying that is. Nobody, not even the children likes him. Like, at the Senior Night Basketball game he was passing out Hot Cocoa and tumbled down a flight of stairs throwing the Hot Cocoa in the air. He harshly burned 5 people including a infant who had 3rd degree burn on her face. Till this day nobody knows if it was a serious fall or him trying to play another joke. But the school didn't find it funny because they have been sued every year until he graduates. He’s been removed from the spirit team since then though.

“Okay, you guys are here because of something that happen at a Halloween Party Mr. Samuel’s hosted this past weekend.” I’m suddenly confused because I don't party and damn sure wouldn't have been invited to anything Courtney hosted.

“Do y'all know a student by the name of Livvy Peterson?” a officer says behind me and pulls out a picture of her wearing a black flowing dress laying in a bed of wildflowers.. Livvy Peterson. Livvy Peterson. Livvy Peterson. The girl who parents died and she started acting very weird afterwards made everybody think she did it.

“She’s hot!! What about her?” Leo jokes.

“Well Mr. Jokester she’s missing and Avery Monroe, Courtney Samuels and you Leonard Tanguma where the last names she mentioned in her diary which was found in her car, which was found parked in front of Mr. Samuels house. Ms. Monroe your Letterman Jacket was found in the passenger seat of her car, we know it’s yours because your name is on the back along with it being in the pockets. And Mr. Tanguma your mascot uniform was found in her truck. So if you all have anything to do with her missing speak up now or a warrant will be out for your arrest.”

Silence.
