“You’re Next”
It was dark and I swore I heard crying coming from the girls locker room. Grabbing my best friend?s arm, we ran to the noise. “Anna! Why are you dragging me all the way over here I already got my stuff out of my gym locker. Lets go!”
“Sorry Maggie. I just heard crying so I thought?”
“Thought nothing. I bet it?s the janitor crying about the art job he never took. You know the guy who got it is now filthy stinking rich!”
” guess so…”With that I let go, and we went on our way. Suddenly I saw a light out of the corner of my eye. It started to flicker, and my soul jumped out of my body for a spilt second. “Oh my goodness. That was so scary. Wasn’t it Maggie?” No answer. The halls were empty. Then out of the middle of nowhere…
“BOO!!!” Maggie from right behind me. Scared the living daylights out of me I fainted…
“Anna? Anna… ANNA!!!!”
“What!” Standing to my feet, reaching for a hall pass I didn?t have.
“You fainted!” Maggie replied, dodging my hand whipping out at her.
“I did, didn’t I? Well it’s your fault for scaring me. This would have never happened if you hadn’t scared me!” I yelled back while turning my head away. Waiting long enough for a snide remark, I turned my head around, getting ready for another surprise attack. “Come out Maggie, I know you’re hiding.” Looking once more. “Maggie this isn’t funny we. Well, I have to get home!” At that moment, time slowed to sludge. I heard crying. Now, two voices. One sounding very familiar. It was Maggie! Turning, walking, and then a mad dash to the girl’s locker room from which the sound had come. “Maggie!” Seeing her curled up in a ball crying was a new thing to me. The Maggie I knew wasn’t scared of any thin. Fire, spiders… And growing up.
“Anna Run It will get you too!” These words escaped Maggie’s mouth just as I saw that she was bound wrist to wrist and ankle to ankle with some thing that looked like fire. Looking around, I saw the exits were closed. And hearing Maggie scream made me look around fast enough to duck. Staring right behind me, I saw a gash in a lock where my head had just been. Turning around to thank Maggie for the help, I saw a look of total horror in Maggie’s face. Tears still pouring from her eyes, she stared past me to the locker with the fresh gash in the lock. I turned back to where she was staring. I knew I had to run. For written in gashes across the locker’s paint were the words “YOU’RE NEXT”.
