"max ! What in the world are you still doing up there ? "

"I'm done mum ... I'm done " I said as I quickly stuffed the magazine I was reading titled the "daily horrors" in my bag before dashing out of my room.

"Jeez max , you really should be time conscious " my mom said straighten the collar of my shirt when I got down .

"You had Nina and Sanjay waiting " she added with a Stern look .

"Yeah bruh ,not cool " Sanjay added removing the head phones he was wearing while Nina my other childhood friend didn't really seem to care I had her wait hours .

"Sorry, I guess I spaced out reading the daily horrors " I said grabbing my bag

"It's ok let's get going now" Nina said heading for the front door and both me and Sanjay tagged along .

"Okay ,bye honey .have fun" my mom said before closing the door behind us then we proceeded on our journey to high school .

"Anyways bro what did the issues of the daily horrors you were reading say ? " Sanjay asked cheerfully .

" Some stuff about a possesd cat , man stabs wife blah blah blah . But most importantly. what kept me reading for that long was the one about the horror clown "

"For real ! it had something about the horror clown " Sanjay said amazed .

"Yup , apparently he got away with another set up .this time in San Jose "

"Bro San Jose ? , Do you know what that means " Sanjay said more amazed

"Um.."

"It means the horror clown and his freaking blood band are here in America now ! " he added before I could reply .

" Damn that's true ."

" What's so freaky about this horror clown Anyways, is he like some kinda penny wise " Nina said cutting in our discussion which she didn't do much .

"Yo hon he's way worse " Sanjay said dramatically .

well he's kinda right the horror clown is way much of a bigger issue than some fictional horror movie clown .the horror clown is the leader to of a notorious gang of criminals called blood band ,they were infamous for trapping hostages and putting them in intense situations that forces them to either kill or be killed . What was even worse is the fact that no blood band member has ever been caught and no one could unravel the mystery behind who the horror clown was not even the world's best detectives or psychics .

"Whatever you know what i don't wanna hear about it again " nina said excusing herself from our discussion while me and Max talked on till we got to school .

[ Summer star high school ]

A huge well furnished school in New York where me Sanjay and Nina attended .

In our classroom a boy with dark hair ,plumpy body size, wearing glasses

Called gendrey was going to his seat when someone intentionally tripped him making gendrey fall hardly to the floor with all the contents of his bag spilling out .

Tablets, aspirin ,and inhalers with some books and textbooks all laid on the floor , gendrey immediately started gathering his stuff back into his bag when snorty Hemmings chleo came along

"Oh..look ! " She said picking up gendrey's inhaler .

"Looks like fat old gendrey here's an asthma patient " she added and lots of students in the class roared with laughter .

"Did you get it from papa ? " She teased him making students laugh even more .

"Hey chleo give that back " I said snatching the inhaler from chleo , I didn't do this to look cool or something but simply because I found chleo highly annoying .

"How dare you son of a lumberjack ! " Chleo said and loads of students bursted into laughter again

" At least my dad gets to earn his money and not a fraudulent Maniac like yours " I replied and everyone kept silent , chleo's dad was actually one of the wealthy men of New York but news had it that her dad was under investigation by S.E.C for money laundering.

"How dare you ! " Chleo said again this time giving me a tight slap across the face .and you know me I don't gender discriminate ,

I was about returning the favor with a fist to her make up face when Justin pushed me to the ground .

Justin was another kid in class I highly disliked he was also dating chleo to make things worse , but unlike chleo I've known Justin since childhood we both went to the same elementary school along with Sanjay and Nina and I also know that Nina has had a crush for him since junior high but I don't blame her, even though Justin's behavior stinks I can't deny the fact that he has very good looks and that has always made him popular with the girls .

"You guys should stop now " Nate the class president said holding me back as I was about to pound Justin's handsome face

" The fuck, leave me Nate ! " I struggled to break free from his grip while Justin had this annoying grin on his face .

"What in the world is going on here ! " A loud voice from the door startled everyone ,it was Mr Evans the maths teacher .

" Max , Justin and Nate to the principal's office now ! " .

[ The principal's office ]

" She slapped me on the face , with all respect ma'am I think I had to do something about that " max grubbed

"That's only because you called her dad a fraudulent man " principal merrigold replied with her usual annoying calm tone .

" I wouldn't have said that if she didn't call my dad a lumberjack " max said angrily

"But max we all know that statement is actually true , isn't your dad a lumberjack ? Max grindly " this time she was really getting on Max's nerves .

"She had no right to say that " max yelled

" Yes she does but you had no right to call her dad a fraud i know mr Hemmings , he's an honest man and I can't wait for S.E.C to be over and done with their investigations .as for you max , you get detention today from break till 5 pm " principal merrigold said

" Are you kidding me ! " .

[ Detention room ]

" Are you kidding me ! " Max yelled loudly this time in his head of course , max hated detention now he's got to deal with five hours of it .

Looking around the room max was not the only student in the detention room at least this eases some pain .

In the room with him was "Trevor Williams " a kid who was given detention for a month for hacking into the school's database trying to change his bad grades , some guts some kids have , Morgan Scott who was actually pressing his mobile phone in the detention room which was not allowed ,the teacher watching after us was miss miles the biology teacher who obviously has no family to return to after a hectic day of work because ten out of twelve detentions are invigilated by her ...well that's actually a good thing at times cause she's stupid enough not to notice Scott who had been texting with his phone which he hid behind a text book that said "biology is life" .

Kaite hightower a sassy female student who kept chewing gum aloud and inflating it Making it burst and then chews on , so annoying

She's such a loose mouth literally , she even got in detention for telling a teacher his bald head was disgusting .

Daphen Danvers ...well that's surprising to see her here she's a very strong Christian who's always like "accept Jesus " " he's coming soon " but she's actually a very quiet and rule obeying student max wondered with brought her here.

And last but definitely not the least Radley Jackson infamously known by the nickname jack storm , he's been on a Mission to break every single rule in the school's rule book ever since he got transferred in , max wondered what rule he broke now that sent him here .

The whole classroom was silent except for the loud chewing of gum from Katie , max looked up the wall clock it was exactly 1:30 pm few hours till school closes but he still had three and half hours to go .

"Arrrrghhh help ! " Someone yelled from outside the room .

They all gazed at the transparent glass door of the detention room , they could see people running about, some screaming in mortified horror it was chaos out there , something was going on .

Then the small speaker which was hanged at corner of the classroom started warning .

" Everyone try to evacuate the school, it's premises is under attack by criminals please try t- ..." The voice suddenly went off though it looked like it was still going to say something else ,They all started panicking .

"What the hell's going on ? " Williams asked the teacher

"You guys stay calm we're ..." Miss miles words were interrupted by a loud gun shot from outside and blood splashed on the glass door of the detention room which sent fresh shock waves to them all .

" Jesus ...Jesus " daphen kept muttering shaking life a leaf in autumn wind .

"Crash !"

Some one smashed the glass door into several pieces ,the person was wearing black overalls and a red mask the left only two holes for eyes spaces over a black hood ,max knew that dress code too well the person was a blood band member ,and he was holding some kind of gun

Jack charged towards the guy with a base ball bat which he hurled with his might at the guy who skillfully dooged and slammed his gun bottom on Jack's head Making jack slump to the floor then he shot at Jack's neck .

Daphen shrieked and she too got shot at the neck , then miss miles also got shot .

Katie tried to run towards the door , classic betrayal style but she was also shot before she made it . The attacker had such wonderful aim next was Williams who got shot and slumped like others .

The blood band member turned towards max pointing his strange gun at him

" No ..no ..no " max stuttered and powch ! , The attacker shot him right in the neck , Making max also fall to the floor , as things gradually started grazing away till all he could see was enternal darkness.

"Am I dead ? " .
