-PAST-
-NIKKI'S P.O.V.-

I rushed into school the tiniest bit after they opened the doors. You see, they open the school at 8:20 but start classes at 8:30. I got into the janitors closet to see the cheerful Chloe and Zoey leaning on the equipment and...

..crying...

I rush over and hug them, which they immediately hug back to. "H-have you checked the.." Zoey pauses to sniffle "..n-news..?"

"No! What happened for it to be on the news?!"

This time Chloe intercepted "Someone murd-dered Marcy! She's dead! They don't even know wh-who did it!" she said through a mix of angry and sad tears, I assumed.

I dropped to my knees, which probably had marks by then. I didn't care about the pain, though, someone had killed Marcy. I'd never see her again.

Chloe and Zoey went down to my level and hugged me. Tears were streaming down all our faces, making it seem like we were just dumped into a river.

I wasn't too close with Marcy, but I was still her friend and I hate the fact someone would do that to such a kind, innocent girl! I just..couldn't function properly for a few minutes.

"...w-why?..."
