Chapter 43
[Kate Marsh sits in her photography classroom when a paper ball hits her in the side of the face]
Kate - [quickly grasps her cheek, looking down at the ball as tears fill her eyes as she awaits the inevitable ]
Taylor- [calls out] Nice video Kate !
[Kate gets up and runs out of the room, dashing into the hallway as Max nails Taylor in the face with her pencil pouch. She ducks into the girl’s bathroom to cry in the corner, burying her face in her arms.]
......
Kate- [ looks up momentarily, noticing a blue butterfly land next to her. She sniffs and pulls out her camera, taking a quick picture for class]
[Max walks into the bathroom]
Max- [concern] Kate ? [walks in further] Kate, are you in here ?
[Kate shrinks back into a ball]
Max- I’m sorry about Taylor, Kate. She’s so mean.....
[Max begins searching through a few stalls when Nathan Prescott walks into the room]
Max- [turns around with contempt] What are YOU doing in here ?
Nathan - [taken aback for a moment before grinding his teeth together angrily] Whatever I WANT scholarship girl
[Nathan pushes Max]
Max- [glares at Nathan, standing her ground] Get OUT of here Nathan
Nathan - Don’t TELL me what to do [leans forward to push Max again]
[Max pushes back with all her tiny might, knocking Nathan back into Chloe, as she walks into the room]
Chloe- What the...Max ?!
[Nathan looks between Max and Chloe, realizing that he’s in a position where they can easily double-team him]
Max- CH-loe ?!
[Nathan takes out his gun]
[Kate covers her mouth in shock]
Nathan- Both of you BACK off !
[Nathan takes turns pointing his gun at Max, and Chloe , as he tries to find a spot where they can’t double-team him]
Chloe- [breathless panic as she tries to avoid being in the guns path] ] You’re going to get in a hella lot more trouble for this than drugs...
Nathan - Shut up !
Max- Don’t do this Nathan [looks around for a way to stop Nathan]
Nathan - STOP IT ! Stop moving !
[Kate’s breath becomes panicked]
[Chloe takes her chance and tries to grab Nathan’s gun arm]
[Nathan shoves her into the wall, looking up at her angrily as he regains his bearings ]
Max- Chloe RUN [Max jumps at Nathan, who jerks back and shoots her in a panic]
[Max stumbles back, a spot of blood steadily growing on her Jane doe T-shirt as Kate stumbles out to catch her]
Kate- [tears streaming out of her eyes as she reaches her arm out] MAX !
[The room blurs around Kate, as everyone else in the room begin moving backwards in time, steadily increasing in speed until Kate’s vision blurs out entirely]
[Kate opens her eyes to find herself back in Jefferson’s class, throwing herself back in surprise, just as a paper ball sails past her]
[Kate looks down at the paper ball, confused]
Taylor- Nice video Kate !
Kate- [looks around in a daze, as Max nails Taylor in the face with her pencil pouch, beginning to feel light headed] M....max ?
[Kate faints]
