Mind The Bodies: A Murder Mystery

Chapter One

I take a step forward and open the doors to the school. "I can not WAIT to get home" I yawn.

Kameron stayed at school for an after party, the dance ended at 9 PM on his way home he feels uneasy..

    I feel as if someone is watching me.

The bushes rustle

   Taking a quick pause I look back, the street light is too dim to see anything but the street looks lonely, still the uneasy feeling rushed through my veins.

   I start pacing forward slightly faster.. The sound of footsteps can be heard from behind, too afraid to look back I turn my speed walk into a sprint.

   The footsteps grow louder and louder, unable to keep my head forward I turn back.

Nothing

Nobody is there

  I stop in confusion, "Maybe it was just in my head?" I question to myself.

   I turn forward and the uneasy feeling turns into utter fear, they are standing right in front of me, the sky too dark to see but the shimmering of the moon reflect off of a sharp object in their hand.

  They reach out and the pain in my stomach is not only internal but physical, I cry in pain as the object slices through my guts. My eyes flutter, my vision worsens, moments before I fall back onto the ground..

   I jump up in bed, panting, soaked in sweat. The rising sun blinds my eyes, "Oh, just a dream" I say to myself.

My alarm goes off

"Shit.."

I just transferred states, new school, new people, same hell.

I get dressed and put on a bright yellow turtle neck, I grab the first pair of jeans I could see and slip on my yellow converse.

I look at the slip that has my bus number on it and open the door in my one floor apartment.

Connecting my new AirPods to my phone I leave the house and start walking. I get to the bus stop and wait a good few minutes.

Other students are crowded around me but the music in my ears blocks them out. I hear muffled voices and then I feel a tap on my shoulder.

I turn my head and see a student mouthing words to me, I take out one AirPod, "What?" I ask.

"You're new here, right?"

"Yeah.." I say.

"Did you hear about the school's after party? Every year on the first day of school we have a welcoming party" The student quickly explains.

Visions of my dream flash in my head, I dreamt about an after party, and died the same night.

"Oh.. yeah, I can't go" I respond

"I wasn't asking you to go, I am just letting you know that I don't think they welcome losers" The student says in a smart ass voice

"Whatever" I say to the student.

Two minutes pass by and the bus finally arrives, I step up onto the stairs when the door opens and feel all eyes on me. I quickly take a seat.

The dream repeats itself in my head over and over again. I try to use the music as a distraction and close my eyes.
