Centerville High

Jay had his hands stuffed in his pockets. Was killing really the right thing to do? Was it the only option. Once you kill... arent you considered a murderer? Questions were running through his head. He let out a sigh, not even realizing he was getting wet. When he looked back, he could see the police cars starting to depart and the crowd getting smaller. "I guess that's the end.." he mumbled to himself.

"KYAAAAAA!!!" Chesley let out a scream! Only moments before she had gotten a text from Kaitlyn saying there was a cerfew check today. She was still out...past cerfew. "You have got to be kidding me! Not again! Move it idiot, I've gotta get through! Come on step aside!" she yelled shoving her way through the crowd. It was much smaller now bit even so it was not an easy task to get through. As she finally aproached the outside of the mob she got pushed down. "Ow...JERK! Watch who your shovin.....oh." Chesley stopped, this guy was huge. She smiled, "sorry."

Texi strode through the crowd, not looking up the whole time. To him it wasn't the fact that Dan had taken a life, but the way he acted afterword. He bumped into a few people, and they shot him angry glances, but he didn't say a word. He wondered what his brother would say about this... Hell, he probably wouldn't care, ever since he got his girlfriend he'd been acting strang.

Upon arriving in his dorm, Dan burned some candles and said a prayer like he did after every time he took a life. He took a picture of the man that he had ordered to be killed and stuck it next to his bed on the wall. "I am sorry, but you didn't give us any other real choice, if we went in you shot a kid, if we invaded with a flash bang a bomb explodes, there was no other choice." Dan said remorsefully.

Chesley did not stay on the ground, no, no way in hell was she staying on the ground. She wasn't gonna give an angry man the chance to express his anger, so she pick herself up. This was what she called save yourself at all cost mode, it usually didn't work. The reason why was usually because her eyes were closed. She always unavoidably crashes into someone else, today was no different. She went a couple of feet and crashed into another guy, she once again landed on the ground. Looking at the guy she collided with she saw it was the kid that looked like Kaitlyn's boyfriend. "Oh, uh, heh, sorry." she said, awkwardly.

"LET GO OF ME ALREADY!!!!" I yell as the last police officers escort me out of the building. I jerk my arms out of their grips, ignoring their own protesting. "For the thousandth time, I AM FINE!!!! That creep didn't touch me! That is until you shot him, then he practically landed on me! Great going! I could've taken care of him myself! He and I were talking, I was close to talking him out of it, but no! You guys had to get in and shoot him! There had to be some other way! And now look at me! You could've at least gotten me a jacket or an umbrella or something! I am wearing a white shirt after all!" One of the police officer scrambles to get a jacket for me to cover up with. I just sigh and take a deep breat, countng to ten, feeling the adrenaline start to drain out of my blood. My head starts pounding at the sudden disappation of adrenaline, making me keenly aware of the headache behind my eyes.

I just wave the cop away when he offers me a jacket, my shirt already soaked completely through, the purple and blue skull pattern of my bra showing through my shirt. Water slides down my bare midriff, my jeans are now a dark gray color, and converses a darker blue than before. I tug on my cap, brushing some bangs out of my way. "I'm fine," I say kind of wearily to them. "I'm just going to my dorm okay?" I cross the street after a squad car pulls away and realize for the first time that there are some other teenagers from the school there. I grin and say sarcastically to them as I pass them, "Well this is one babysitting adventure I'll never forget." I continue on down the street, heading for my dorm, letting the rain wash the blood from the guy off my arm from where he fell on me when he was shot.

Dan's phone rang and he saw it was the Captain. "Yes Sir!" He said into the phone. "Nice job on that bank thing, I am glad you followed my orders and had that man killed." He said to Dan. "Well Sir, are you sure that shooting him was the only way, I mean I didn't want to really do it." Dan said remorsefully. "Kid you followed orders and that is your job and if you don't follow them you are fired!" The Captain said threatened over the phone. "Yes Sir." Dan said with a sigh.

Jay walked into the dorm and shook his head, shaking some water off his wet hair. He took off his clothes and changed into a dry one and took a quick look at Dan. He fell back on his bed and stared at the ceiling, "Why dont you just give up being a police man.. you're just a highschool student after all.. and well.. your job kind of gets in the way." he said turning his head and looking at Dan. "Besides, you're always doing things you dont want to do.. because of your captain.."

"Being a police officer, epically at my rank looks great on a college application." Dan told Jay. "Besides I can't give up my shield, I love the job I just have an idiot as a police chief." He said with a sigh.

Jay grinned, and pulled out a recorder, "I wonder what your chief have to say about that." he said jokingly. "Well, I guess I cant argue with you on that.. by the way.. did you do your report that's due tomorrow?" he asked sitting up.

"Of course what do you think I do when I am on duty?" Dan laughed.

Texi was not looking where he was going and colided with someone. He recognized her as Chesly, the girl from that picture and Kaitlyn's roomate. He had spent some time hanging out with her and Charlie, his brother, in kaitlyn's dorm, but he had never saw chesly many times there. "Sorry, that was my fault." he said, offering her his hand, to help her up.

Chesley smiled, "No, it was my fault, really. My eyes were closed." she took the boys hand and he pulled her up. "Thank you." she looked down at her phone again, she was doomed to an ISS tommorrow, 'lovley' she thought. "Well thanks for the help, but I really better be going now, bye." Chesley shuffled off back to her school and the awaiting teacher.

I trudge on towards the dorm, my phne buzzing several times in my pocket. I ignore it instead thinking ruefully about how I still wasn't paid for my services tonight. 'And those kids are brats too... Oh well, maybe that hostage situation thing will straighten them up... Hope so... But whatever,' I think as I push open the door to the dorm. I stop right inside the door, an involuntary shiver sweeping over my body as the colder air conditioned air hits me. I glance around the room, taking in the many different expresions on the faces of the girls around me. I ignore the sounds of many phone cameras clicking and instead raise my head up high and just my chin out in determination as if saying to the groups, "Hella yeah, I just survived a hostage situation! So go ahead and try f-ing with me bitches! See if I care!!"

I walk through the lobby and to my own room where I kick the doorclosed behind me. I quickly strip out of my soaked clothes and wrap a towel around my goosebump covered body. I swiftly brush my drenched hair, letting it all lay slicked out on my head, dropping my cap on the pile of clothes. I change into dry set of clothes consisting of flared jeans, a tank top, and a hoodie thrown over it. I put my hair up in a ponytail and plop down on my bed, checking my phone. It buzzes a couple more times as I look at it, several pictures of me walking into the lobby of the dorm popping up the screen. I groan quietly looking at the pictures. I had already gotten several of Chelsey earlier, now pictures of me were going to be circulating around the schools. 'Fun! I think sarcastically as I let my phone drop down beside me. I close my eyes thinking of what I had just been through and realized that Texi and a couple otehr people I knew had been standing outside the bank when I stormed out. 'Why were they there?' I wonder, picking my phone back up. I text Texi asking him that question - Why were you across the street from the bank?

Texi watched as Chesly began to walk away. He too turned and started walking towards the boys dorms. His phone suddenly buzzed. He took the phone out of his pocket, and read the text. He replied " Beacause I wanted to see what was going on there. Hey uh, are you okay? You did just go through a hostage situation."

I sigh and text him back "Yeah I'm fine I guess... Could use some company though.. Too bad it's past curfew... I'm thinking of sneaking out after room check though if it stops raining. What about you?" I drop my phone next to me and reach over to my iPod and turn it on. Awake and Alive by Skillett blares from the speakers, a smiling spreads slowly across my face at the familar music as I listen waiting for Texi's response. After a second I quickly text Texi again saying, "Oh and by the way - bitches in the lobby took pictures. Don't knowhow many though. If you get any of me or anymore of Chelsey (cause I know they're still going around too) please just delete them. I'd really appreciate it if you don't look at them either, cause I'm pretty sure that you'd be able to see every single curve of my body in those pictures... So yeah. Thanks in advance if you do... Or well technically don't... Lol." I tag on the end even though I honestly dont feel like laughing right now.

Texi's phone buzzed again. "Sounds awesome, mind if I tag along?" He replied to the first text. His phone buzzed again. "I might have a little troble not looking, but i'll try XD" he replied to the second. He quickly ran into the dorm to change. When he went through the lobbie, a couple of guys said "Hey Tex!" He replied with a weak. "Yo." He walked into his room, and saw his brother Charlie and his girlfriend Kaitlyn kissing. "Oh, get a fucking room you two!" He yelled as he slammed the door shut. He could hear Charlie yell: "We are in a room!" He replied; "Yeah, my room!". Just then he saw a teacher headed down the hallway, towards his room. He poked his head through the door, and half-whispered, half-yelled "Shit teacher!"

I smile at Texi's responses and text him back, "Sure I don't mind if you come. And that's such a typical guy response Tex. Lol!" This time I do laugh some and grin. 'Texi's a great guy,' I think still grinning. 'He'll help me forget about what happened...' Suddenly a nasaly voice blares out of the intercom system next to the door. "Good evening ladies," the voice starts as the woman in the lobby shuffles some papers t her desk, preparing to read the evening anouncements. "I hope all of you had a wonderful day today despite the sudden weather change..." I roll my eyes at the wonderful day part and turn my music up, tuning the lady's voice out as she reads off announcements no one really cares to listen to.
