JAKE

Father Bryce finally let us out of the stupid hall and we dashed for the door.

Jake : We have to find th-

My words were cut off by me slamming into another high speeding entity.

Jake : Hey watch where you're!-

It was Lexy, tears and markings of mascara forming on her cheeks.

Jake : Oh my god! Lexy what's wrong?!

Lexy : It's Nad-...

She bolted away sobbing and ran to hide in her room.

Cory had this terrified look on his face.

Jake : We have to find out what happened to Nadine.

Cory : You don't think-...

I really hope not.

Jake : Listen, let's just try and find everyone.

Cory : Okay, where do we go?

I started Jogging in the direct of the staircase leading to the boys corridor and I could see Devon walking up the stairs.

Jake : Devon!

Devon : Jake!

He ran up to me and hugged me.

Devon : Where have you two been-

Cory : Sister Ruth is working with Chucky!

Devon : Wha-

Jake : Do you know where everyone is?!

Devon : What is happening?!

Jake : DEVON, WHERE ARE NADINE AND DENIS?!

Devon : I don't know!

Nadine turned a corner and spotted us.

Like Lexy, she had tears in her eyes and her permanent smile had became a heart-breaking frown.

Jake : Nadine? What happened?!

Nadine : I-I told Lexy that... I l-like her as in more than f-friends and she ran away...

The sound of her voice breaking ached my heart further.

Cory : She did what?!

Anger brewed within Cory's tone.

Nadine : I knew she d-didn't like me b-back but she was scared of me!

Nadines crying kept her high-pitch.

Devon : I'm sure she still loves you as a friend. Maybe she was just taken aback?

Devon hugged her as a form of comfort.

Nadine : Thanks Devon.

Her whimpers softened.

Nadine : She thinks I'm a freak.
