Chapter 2 - Messed Up

Zoey Reese

Today at school, me, Hannah, and Winnie got to school extra early.

Then I sneaked into the classroom that we know Mr Maddox has his first class in. I quickly opened my bag and took out the super glue out. Then I reached into my pocket and took out the small box that has dozens of pins inside. I sticked the pins to the back of the attendance copy. Just when I was preparing to leave, I heard the door creaking behind me. I looked behind so fast that the side of my neck hurt . I thought it was a student who was at the door. I was right and wrong:

It was Winnie. "Bruh Winnie, you almost gave me a heart attack! " I said feeling relieved.

"Sorry!" she said. After the three of us got to the hallway, it was empty except for a small group of three girls. They are in our grade. So, we decided to go say hi.

It was Naomi Yoon, Rosie Addison, and a dark-haired girl who I don't know the name of. Yet.

After we walked over to them, Naomi immediately hugged us as though we hadn't seen each other for a very long time. Which was kinda true. "Why are you guys here so early?" Winne said, staring at them suspiciously. "Oh, we came in early to go to the library to meet someone. Why did you all come so early?" said the dark haired girl whose voice is very deep. I think Hannah got super suspicious of them when the dark haired girl said 'someone' cause her eyes were so narrow, you could barely see the color of it [which was grey]. So before she could bust, I said "To study" in a calm voice.

Just then, someone comes in through the front doors. It was Jasper Marlo and his best friend, Freddy Travis. They are one of those people who always comes late to school. So you can tell how much surprised we all were when we saw them coming this early. 

They went into the nearest classroom they saw on the other side of the hallway we were all standing on, without even looking at us once. I mean, no one would've even cared if they did. But still, people can change you know. I kind of expected them to.

 After we got out of our 2nd period, Social Studies, classroom, we heard several screams coming from Mr Maddox 's classroom.

O-no. What happened? 

We rushed into the room as fast as we could and saw Naomi, Rosie and the dark haired girl and some others gaping ,and some girls even crying ,at Mr Maddox who was on the floor. It looks like he collapsed after he saw his own blood dripping from his hands where five or more pins were stuck inside of.

"Everyone out of the way!" Mrs Green roared at everyone who were inside the classroom. After everyone got out, she fell beside Mr Maddox 's body and hesitated before looking at the three of us and saying "Winnie, go call the pandemics. Hannah, go call any other teacher you find and try to get the nurse here. Zoey, call anyone you know that could help us." We all left the room in a rush, taking different hallways as we go.

Winnie is probably going to her locker to get her phone and Hannah is obviously doing what Mrs Green told her to do. But me? I don't even know who to call....

I've got an idea on who I should call. So I quickly rush past several hallways and pushing students while doing so.

I finally get to Principle Morris's office. But by the time I get there, I am panting so hard I thought I was gonna faint. So I took a deep breath and entered her office.

She looked patient and clam. After she sees me, she gets up quickly and helps me to sit down.

But there is no time for that.

So I quickly spit out the fact that Mr Maddox has a painful accident and we need her for it. I am surprised that it only took
