AMY LIGHT
Amy attempted to shove her books back into her locker, which had fallen out as soonas she had opened the locker door. She glanced down at her phone as it alerted her to a new messgae, expecting to see another text from her friend Alexis, but instead seeing the word Unknown plastered across the screen. Amy frowned but pressd the open button.
Hiii ;) Enjoying our second week back, are we? Well, that won't last long. Some of you already know me, but for those who don't:
I know every single little detail about each and every one of you. And that includes your dirty little secret.
Or should I say secrets?
What's going to stop me from telling the whole school? Well, you are. I will set you a few... challenges to keep your secrets safe, and if you don't go along... there goes a secret. xxx - A
Amy stared at the phone for a minute, shocked. No, it was just a joke... right? She gave an uneasy glance around at the passers by. Why had she gotten this, out of all the people in the hallway? Well, from the look of it, more than just her. But what did 'A' mean by Some of you already know me?
She tapped the reply button, and shakily typed in a response.
To: A (All Contacts)
Isn't blackmail illegal? Whaat's stopping us from going to the cops right now?
Her shaky hand had made her type in two A's in stead of one, but Amy onlynoticed after she pressed send. She took a deep breath and picked up a book that had fallen on the ground, slipping it into her locker before closing it with a clang. She couldn't dwell on it, it wasn't like A actually knew her secrets, that was impossible.
She had surprisingly little homework - at least, for a Monday. Monday was the worst day for her; She had French, Maths, English, History, CSPE and Art. Well, art didn't give that much homework, but the rest of the classes did. Especially History, as Miss Tuberty hated her class, and Amy had found that she hated Amy especially. Perhaps it was Amy's laid-back nature in History. She didn't see the point of it. Like, maths and english were useful subjects, but history - they were all dead anyway.
Beep.
Expecting another text from A, she ignored the text. She arrived at the school doors when she reached into her bag, She was too impatient.
It wasn't from A, it must have been someone else she had texted though.
What's on the schedule for today?
Did that mean that that person believed A? I sounded almost like she knew A... was that what A had meant in her text?
She was disrupted from her thoughts by the excited squeal of her friend Alexis. Amy looked up to see Alexis squeezing Amy's arm. "What?" Amy hissed, half annoyed, half joking. "Look!" Alexis whispered, pointing.AMy followed her hand to see what she was looking at.
"He's the new kid, I think I heard his name was Cory, or Cody, or somethig like that anyway," Alexis continued. "Isn't he cute?"
Amy rolled her eyes. "Yeah. But he is also too old for you."
Alexis shook her head. "Only a year older. Not much of a difference," she disagreed. Amy laughed and slipped her phone back into her bag.
A
From: Madison
What's on the schedule for today?
A smiled and started walking towards the school doors as she typed.
Not telling yet. You'll just have to wait an see. ;) - A
Just seconds after she pressed the send button, another text came through;
From: Amy
Isn't blackmail illegal? Whaat's stopping us from going to the cops right now?
At this A did actually laugh out loud. Quietly, of course, but a few people passing by gave her some weird looks. She ignored them though, and ithout looking up from the phone screen, opened the schools double doors out into the smell of freshly mowed grass as the last of summer faded away.
Yuss, blackmail is illegal. But I don't think you want to tell the cops, honey. I'm sure they would be very interested to know some of your secrets. If I'm going down, I'm taking you all down with me ;) xxx - A.
