Jessica's POV: I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I reached my hand over and pressed the snooze button. I got up and walked in my bathroom. I looked in the mirror and made a face at myself. I grabbed my brush and brushed out my brown hair, then I straightened it. Much better. I put my contacts in and went to my closet. I took out a Hello Kitty shirt, some skinny jeans, and a pink bow. I walked downstairs and I saw my mom, dad, two sisters, and brother at the table. "Morning Jess.", they all said in a chorus. "That was weird.", I replied blowing the hair out of my face. My brother laughed, and my sisters giggled. "Jess, you have school today. You know that, right?", my mom asked raising an eyebrow at me. "Yeah... Other ones are lucky. They get break.", I mumbled. "BUS IS HEEEERRRREEEEE!", my sister Brittany screamed. I grabbed my Hello Kitty backpack and swung it over my shoulder. "Love you guys. See ya later.", I said and I walked out the door. I got on the bus and sat in my usual spot. Third row, window seat. I waited for my bestie, Sandra. She somewhat looked like me, but with blond hair, and a totally different style. We stopped at her house, and she came in, her wavy hair, red tank top, and jean shorts. "Hi Sanders." "Hey Jess. Did you hear about Gia?" "Yeah. I always knew her step-dad was evil." "I can't believe he killed her." I shook my head, and Sandy looked out the window. The bus door opened again. It sounded like a dying cat. In walked Clare, the most "popular" girl in school. Whore. The bus stopped and we got out. Sandy, Mitchi, and I stood by the big oak tree by the doors. Mitchi is my other close friend, and Sandy's twin sister. "Hi Jessica.",Mitchi beamed. "Hey hey hey.", I replied. Just then, then bell rang, and everyone went inside. As soon as Sandy and I came into class, the announcements came on. "TEACHERS GATHER YOUR STUDENTS!! THE SCHOOL IS IN LOCKDOWN!!" I stood there frozen. Mrs. Gonzales took us all in the corner and we sat there. A minute later a gunshot sounded and the bullet came through our window. A grown man came in through the window and I gasped and froze. Gia's step-dad.
------------- Jessica's POV: I screamed. I couldn't hold it in. He looked straight at me, and started running to where I was. I jumped up with Sandy, and we ran around him and out the door. "COME BACK YOU MOTHER FUCKERS!", he screamed. I turned my head as I was running and looked back at him. HE'S INSANE! He had a crazed look in his eyes, and he was sprinting after us. We didn't stop. I kept running and running.... Then..... BANG! I ran into the door. He stood over me grinning. That was the last thing I saw, before I blacked out. Sandy's POV: No. NO! "Jess! WAKE UP!!", I shrieked as I slapped her Nothing. I turned my head and I saw him running towards us. Closer, closer, closer. BANG! I opened my eyes and I saw him dead on the ground. Then I saw her. Stacie Collins. "You... You shot him?", I asked shocked. "Yeah.", she said as she smiled. "Thanks.", I sighed. "No prob... Your friend... Let's take her to the ER.", Stacie said. "SHE'S NOT BREATHING!", I screamed. She was all bloody. And...... Possibly dead
