Melissa and Allison, two friends of Sarah McMillan got to school a little earlier than usual that morning. As they walked down the hall, each going to their locker, which were conveniently in the same row, they passes a blond girl peeking around a corner. As they turned to go down the intersecting hallway, they kept their distance from the girl. Why was she peeking around the corner like that? Was she playing a game with someone or was she just a weirdo?
They kept walking, approaching a group of boys leaning against the lockers. They looked like delinquents. As the two girls passed, two of the boys began cutting their right arm, causing blood to drip from them.
The two girls were clearly disturbed and quickened their pace. They looked back once and saw one of the boys walking towards them. Then they walked even faster. When they figured that there was enough distance between them and those two freaks, Allison said "What the hell is wrong with those two?"
"I don't know. But let's not go that way again. Okay?"
"Okay."
They kept walking, past the next hallway intersection, then down a dead-end hall to where their lockers were. The hall was deserted. They must have been the first kids to get there. In another half hour, the hall would be bustling with people.
They got to their lockers, put their stuff away, and grabbed what they needed. Then they turned to leave. That was when they saw them. The two boys they saw cutting themselves earlier. They were standing in the hall, blocking their way out.
The two girls became scared. What did those two freaky boys want?
