Carson

The morning I woke up before he did with his arms wrapped around me and me curls up against him. I didn't want to wake him or get up but it was already 7:48 and first class starts at 8:00. I slowly got up and grabbed my bag. When I got up he woke up.

"What time is it?"

"It's 7:48, we need to head to school or we'll be late for first period."

He turned over grabbed me and pulled me back to bed. "It's Friday baby. We have the pep rally first block. I'll text our teachers and tell them to count us as there we can skip as long as we make second on time."

"So what are we doing for a hour and forty minutes?"

As he was texting he had a huge grin come across his face. When he was he sat is phone down and looked at me. "Well you see I'm awake and can't go back to bed so..." He tossed me down on the bed with one of his legs between mine. "...Why don't we have so fun."

"Blake I'm so sorry but I'm not in the mood right now. Something feels really off about today I think we should go."

"Okay fine but movie and cuddles tonight?"

"Bet I'm down for that."

We hurried to get ready and ran to school. The fact he is a baseball player you think he would be faster then me when in reality I'm faster. It was so weird. When ever we got to school we ran to class we sat down and then the belle ring.

"Okay class there has been a bit of change of plans. We need everyone to go to the gymnasium but the pep rally will be different then years before. Please find someone to stay with at all times. try to make it three or more.

This was the one class we all four had together so we all looked at each other and silently agreed to be a group. Due to the pep rally today our classes are a bit mixed up which is the only reason we have first block together. I weirded the hell out be this whole change of plans thing so I grabbed Blake's hand. He gently squeezed my hand and pulled me to his side where I was leaning on him.

"What do you think this is all about?" I asked.

"I don't know dude but I'm weirded out hella bad," V said. She was holding Harmony's hand tight but not enough to hurt her.

We walk down to the Gym in silence and when we got there we took our seats next to each other. Nothing seemed off but then I looked around and noticed there was a cop at every exit even at the bathrooms. Usually we have on or two but there is several.

"What's up with all the cops everywhere Ms. Green?" I asked our teacher

"Don't worry Carson it's just for safety in case something goes wrong, you know how it is."

You know what worries me about that is the fact she told me not to worry. I didn't wanna be here. I've always hated pep rallies but this one has been the worst. I felt like I had a reason to fear for my life.

"Alright students settle down, we have an important announcement. As you have been told this is not a normal pep rally. I don't want to cause any panic so I'm going to turn this over to the sheriff," Our principal Mr. Rein said.

"Thank you Mr. Rein, as you kids know I am Sheriff Thomas. Please look around you, you may notice that a few of your classmates are not here to join us. There was a party last night several of you know. All of the kids missing left and started walking together. We are sadly her to inform you that they were found dead this morning at the Lake Pearson."

We were the only party in town that night. The kids missing were all kids I saw. There names were Jackson, Marry, April, Madison, and Quin. They were nice people who a lot of people liked. They were the popular kids so I don't understand why someone would kill them or they would kill themselves. Sheriff Thomas continue talking but I couldn't hear a thing. I couldn't breathe and I couldn't move. I tapped on Blake's shoulder and next thing I knew I was falling over and Ms. Green was rushing over. This was the weirdest panic attack I had ever had. It was as if I wasn't in my body. I felt nothing, heard nothing, and I couldn't tell if I was breathing or not. At this point I wasn't even thinking, sure it felt nice to not have a thousand thoughts in my head at once but it was freaking me out. I didn't know what to do or if I could do anything. So I just stayed in the peace of the silence and the quiet. To be honest I didn't know if I ever wanted to leave it.
