All of the morning underclassmen had safely arrived at Gwen’s favorite library. Once they stepped inside the creepy, haunted-looking building, they each went to look around by themselves.

Jenna, being the bookworm she is, quickly made her way to the poetry section and picked out a couple of books to read. “I can’t believe I’m about to read this! It’s always been a dream of mine!”

Ian walked around and stopped at the children’s area. “Hmm.. Old ass children’s books? Count me the fuck in.”

Cruz picked a random book and quickly sat down to read it. He wanted to get through one book and get to take a deeper look around the library.

The lights had gone out and the ones on the second floor all gathered around.

“So like.... The fuck?” Victoria scratched her head and began to squint her eyes to be able to see who was around her.

Ian laughed. “You’d think since they’re old fashioned or whatever the fuck that they would have candles!”

It was now the morning after the lock down and the morning underclassmen all gathered in front of their dorms to share a moment of silence in memory of Jonas.

Jenna had luckily missed out in the lock down for she didn’t go to school that day. “You’re lucky you didn’t go through what we did.” Said Victoria, sitting on the floor.

“I was too depressed about Kaitlin. And now, we lost another person from our dorms. It’s a good idea that they’re giving us a break until next semester. We really need it to... calm down.” As Jenna was talking tears were flooding her eyes.

Ian looked over at the twins. “Three girls and three guys. Started off with four of each. What a fuckin’ mess.”

The morning students were just a few minutes away from having to leave their dorms to get to their classes. Gwen walked over to Jenna’s room so they could walk over together, but when she went inside she saw Jenna crying on the couch with her pajamas still on.

“Uh.. Jenna? It’s time for school... I made you lunch...” Gwen’s face grew worried.

“I... I’m not.. going....”

Jenna had never missed school, not even when she was sick or injured.

“Is it because...?” Gwen glanced over at where Kaitlin would have been sleeping. “Can.... Can I be your new room mate? So you’re not alone?”

Jenna wiped away her tears. “Gwen.. Just... go to s-school.”

Jenna walked around the room and saw the teacher’s body on the floor. She started long and hard at the body and noticed that she wasn’t breathing. Jenna started panicking and crying at the same time.

“No, no! What... why?! Where’s... I need to tell Ms. Fortune!!”

Chip was making drinks when Bianca walked over to him and grabbed one for herself.

“Woah, Chip. What’s up with that look in your eyes? They’re like... super bright.”

Chip was staring directly at Jenna. Something about her attracted him. It wasn’t anything sexual, no. He didn’t like women. It was something about her that seemed so friendly and welcoming.

“I’‘m going to go talk to her. She seems sweet and lonely.”

Chip walked towards Jenna and held out his hand and introduced himself.

“Hi there, pretty lady. My name’s Chip. Looks like you could use some company.”

Jenna was starting to blush, she’s never had a guy come up to her like that. Unfortunately she didn’t know Chip was gay.

Jenna and Kaitlin were both ready to leave for the dance. 

“I’m so glad I was able to change your mind, Jenna! I promise you it’s going to be super fun!”

Jenna originally didn’t want to go to the dance because she knew her brother would be there, trying to hit on every girl possible. But somehow, Kaitlin managed to persuade her into going.“I just hope I don’t run into my bro-.... broken heels. Uh.. That didn’t English correctly.”

The door opened up from behind her and she recognized the voice right away.

“You called me in, Ms. Fortune? Oh.. Oh, hey sis. Where’s..?” Mason took a long pause and saw that Jenna was crying, tears running down her cheeks. “What the fuck happened? Where’s the dean?”

Jenna was barely able to talk, she was barely speaking out her words. “I-I do.. don’t know.. I just... Mason.... She was.... dead... on floor.... I just... wanted to sit... near the board....”

Mason managed to calm down his little sister and several minutes later Ms. Fortune showed up. They told her what happened and she called the paramedics to take away Ms. Mullins’ body.

“I’m so sorry about that, sweetie. She has been here for a very, very long time, and her health wasn’t exactly at it’s peak. Listen, Jenna. Go back to your dorms and tell everyone that class is cancelled for today, no need to worry anymore. The paramedics told me it could have possibly been heart failure. Go home and calm down. As for you, Mason. I needed to tell you to get your act together for this school year, because for the past 3 years that you’ve been here, your academic performance has been extremely lacking. Go back to the dorms and tell the upperclassmen that class is cancelled today for you all as well. Everything will be back up and running tomorrow.”
