   "VINCE SCHNEIDER WAS FOUND MURDERED," Was the very first thing that Minnie and Chad heard as they were coming out of her bedroom this morning, and facing Dewey Riley who was sitting in the couch and drinking coffee.

   The two teenagers were fully unaware with their eyes widening, and now they had had understood why Mindy was none-stop calling them last night, but just decided against even answering the phone since they were finally getting to season five of criminal minds, and then knocked out afterwards.

Jasmine was the first one to have break the silence, "Like murdered as in. . . that someone had robbed him gone wrong, or —" She felt her mouth just getting dried not being able to say the word.

Dewey who sucked his teeth and cautiously responding to them, "Ghostface attack." He had deadpanned.

Chad's mouth widened, "Why?"

Dewey who just shrugged his own shoulders, "I'm not really sure why. It seems that whoever is underneath this mask is attempting to throw you all off." He gently told them.

Jasmine who pulled away from Chad, and running heading towards her own bedroom and coming back with her camera, and turning on the camera, and just scrolling back on her photos and an image that just made her pale and breath her shaky, "Leslie Macher."

That if they hadn't even paid attention to her they wouldn't of heard it, "What about Leslie Macher?" Dewey raised his eyebrow not really understanding.

Jasmine who glanced at them, "Leslie Macher is Vince's mom, and she's the older sister of Stu Macher." That made Dewey go on high alert on where she was getting at as he was connecting the pieces, "Whoever is underneath the mask is connecting these killings to the past." She had finished.

Chad felt himself getting anxiety, "What does all that mean, that you're more in danger than all of us?" He gently pulled Jasmine towards him, and needing to physically touch her, so it can calm down his anxiety.

Jasmine who answered, "Yes and No. But, It also means that Dewey is also in danger. . ." She had slowly had said before ending it with one thing, "But, it doesn't make sense on why he hurt Tara, and it's much more deeper than what I'm hiding. . . it has something to do with Sam's return, it was as if he just lured her back here." She connected the dots.

What was she hiding?

Not wanting to continue this she had easily changed the subject before she ends up stuck in her head afterwards, "Anyways. . . I'm going to make pancakes. Anyone want to help?" She had clapped her hands, and heading towards the kitchen where she accidentally stumbled on her feet, "Shit." She muttered out.

Chad shook his head in amusement on her clumsiness, "I'll help you!" He called out with the smile not leaving his face.

It had left all of them a little bit jumpy this morning, but Jasmine found comfort amongst the two since they were all she had, as her dad didn't necessarily count, he's in prison. She was just mostly referring to her Uncle Dewey Riley, she isn't ready to let go of her second father figure and be independent in this damn world. As well as, Chad who's the guy she is falling in love with, and has said nothing to him. She couldn't lose either one of them.

She'd go insane.

────────────────────

    SHE KISSED HIS LIPS AND COMING DOWN FROM HER TIPPY-TOES, "I'm going to the photography classroom just to finish editing the small horror video, but I'll be back to watch your practice." She patted his cheek.

   Chad who watched her run off with a smile on his face, "Don't take too long, you need to see me win!" He lightly teased her, as he heard her let out a laugh.

   Both were unaware about their very own surroundings, and a certain male who was in the football field, jaw clenching on the sight before texting Amber Freeman: Freak is here, make her bleed.

   Jasmine had made it into the classroom, and just sending her boyfriend a quick text that she is safe, that he doesn't need to worry about her, as she had grabbed her school computer to just finish editing the clip, it was just a mini horror film of her very own bestfriend Liv McKenzie fake drowning in a pool of blood, running in the woods covered in blood, and a voice over of Jasmine reading her dark poem. No one is ever supposed to see this film.

It was then her own phone rang, and picking it up without checking the caller ID, "What's up dude?" She answered swiftly.

The voice chuckled, "Is this how you answer every calls, Mini Altieri?" Jasmine paused her film, and standing up from the chair.

Jasmine snapped, "Not to you, what do you want from me!?" Her voice raised, and backing away from the door as she went to the farther corner of the classroom.

His breathing was heavy, speaking to her with venom just laced all over his voice, "To watch you scream, while I cut you up and rip your insides with your boyfriend not far from me. . ." He had simply chuckled, "Or you can tell them on who daddy dearest is, and I'll leave you be. We all know how quick individuals will blame and accuse you." He deadpanned.

   Jasmine who had clenched her own fist in anger at the call, "You're all bark, but no bite." She sneered to him, "Why don't you come out wherever you are, coward." She taunted him.

   "My pleasure, Jasmine."

   The sound of a knife scraping was being heard that made her go on high alert, it was then that she seen him standing beside the door, tilting his neck.

   Jasmine had swallowed down her own saliva, especially when he began running towards her, and holding onto her neck, but she managed to kick him in the area that makes them groan, it made her easily escape and out the door, as he slowly began catching up to her, she had pulled out the fire extinguisher, and quickly hiding behind the wall until he made his appearance, and allowing her to swing the fire extinguisher.

  She simply sneered at him, "Leave me the fuck alone." She had swung it one more time at him, "You fucking loser." She retorted.

   She'd been about to swing, again until the sound of doors being open distracting her, and allowing whoever is under the mask, vanish. It was just the school custodian whistling until he seen what was in Jasmine's hand, "I found it on the floor, but I'll leave it here. Bye." She had awkwardly apologized, and walking back to the classroom.

It was then that she had heard the most horrendous voice reading her poem, "And it felt like I was drowning. . ." He couldn't help but laugh, "Stupid freak." He retorted.

Jasmine finally made it into view, "What the hell are you doing here?" She had snapped at him, clenching her fists.

Dean who was simply holding onto her camera in his hand, "You're really a freak aren't you? I wonder if your friends know all your obsession about blood and murder. You've got a lot of pictures and videos of you here playing dead." He practically laughed, especially when she approached him attempting to grab her camera as he raised his arm higher, and just moving himself to the other side.

Jasmine who begged from him, "Give me back my camera, it's mine!" She yelled at him and attempting to lunge at him, "Give it back to me!" Her voice raised at him.

Dean who mocked her, "You want this, you want?" He had thrown the camera harshly towards the wall, and it breaking before he had kicked it, again.

Jasmine who had yelled, "No!" She ran and bent down to her camera and holding onto the broken pieces of her camera, and her eyes just getting watery.

This was a gift from her mom eleven years ago, and the only thing she had of her and now it's broken.

Jasmine began screaming at him, "I'm going to kill you, you stupid motherfucker!" She had practically lunged at him, and just delivering a punch after punch. Her knuckles were getting really bloody, and he just couldn't seem to get a upper-hand for some reason she was stronger than him.

A pair of arms pulled her away, "What's going on in here, Minnie?" Chad had stood in front of her, all while Dean spat out blood from his own mouth.

   Dean was the first one to speak before she managed to say anything, "Your girlfriend is a crazy bitch." He sneered in venom.

   Chad glared at him, "Shut the fuck up, and watch how you speak with her." He snapped in anger, "What'd you do to her!?" His arms were crossed, and the mean stare not even leaving his face when looking at Dean.

   Jasmine's voice who broke, "He broke my camera." She had sadly spoken.

   Dean who just had a fucking shit eating from plastered on his face, "Yeah, I did. You freak, your girlfriend is a freak." He simply taunted Chad.

   That was enough for Chad to deliver Dean a punch straight into his jaw, "Get the fuck out of here." Dean who just groaned in pain, and holding onto his very own jaw before purposely bumping his shoulder with Chad, and leaving the classroom.

   Jasmine who just wrapped her arms around Chadms torso and softly crying into his chest, "He broke the camera my mom got me, it was all I had." He had wrapped his arms around her her body, kissing her forehead while she cried harder that made his heart break as he truly didn't know how to fix this, "I don't have anything anymore."
