As we entered into our classroom, the hand writing on the board written with blood caught our attentions first. Abigail, Aiden, Gabriella, Brandon, Georgia, Christian, Josephine, Kayla, Khloe, Ollie. Those were the names on the board, still dripping down from the board without staining the other names alongside the other, the floor is already a pool of it, though it wasn't that much to get to where we stood, but still, it's a massive pond of blood right there on the floor. Everyone of them hid behind me, as if they were trying to use me as protection for themselves. How come are this people acting this way?, So if there was truly danger lurking around the corner, they'll probably sacrifice me so as to get their own safety. With anger, I turned around with force, pushing away the closest person behind me who happens to be a girl, and have fallen towards the others who tried in holding her up. “ I'm sorry for pushing you like that, I was just pissed off....” I apologized to Blake who was now looking at me with wide eyes, like, what was that all about?, she definitely knew that they're all at fault, but I had to apologize because I attacked only her. Without continuing the matter, I just turned around and walked into the class, taking my seat. I don't know what Death is thinking, or why she asked us to always be present in the school, but what I know was that, she definitely sees this as a game, and looking by our contributions, we're making this too easy for her. She's playing games with us right?, I believe she wants us to gather here so we could participate too, we should solve the puzzle and find ways to protect ourselves. That's what I actually thought, don't know about anybody else. Everybody was seating, trying hard to conceal their panics, but there are things you just can't hide, something that's visible and there presently. “ Does anyone have an opinion on how we can counter this issue?.....” I decided to ask, so as to break the intimidating silence. None of them said a word, they all just looked around at each other, but still leave the question unanswered. I waited for a minute to hear any opinion at all, but there was none. “ Okay..... Here's the thing. Somehow, I don't believe that Death is doing this to have all the fun, in situation like this, both parties have their own chances of winning, so we shouldn't be afraid or scared about what Death might do, because she possibly can't fight after us when we're trying to find a way of protecting ourselves. The truth is, I believe Death asked us to show up, not to leave us here, but for us to work together as a team and find a way to counter her and defeat her, if not, we all will be wiped out without any mercy.....” They were all nodding their head like they agreed with my point, yet none of them is showing any sign of making contributions. I have this dumb idea, but when it comes to Death, I don't believe any idea is dumb, might possibly be what we're missing. “ Since none of you have nothing to say, I have an idea..... We're about to disorganize the seats, all the seating in the classroom will be shuffled, since she's killing through our seating position, I guess it's best we hinder that.....” I made my point, waiting to see how they'll react to it, but surprisingly, they seem to agree without any arguments or protesting, they just feel like it's a great idea to try out. There mood never brighten like those who just found a solution to a long time problem, they just acted like slaves, starting to reorganize the seatings, twisting everyone's sitting position in an organized manner that shows no comparison with the normal. I believe we've made a move towards something, something other than what it used to look like, I now hope this dumb idea at least get her concerned, even though there's no chance of this working, but at least we made a move towards something different. I appreciated them all. We stayed until past noon before we decided to start heading home, I believe Death wouldn't be against this decision, we've already attended school and made it till afternoon, so our contributions really counts. Just like everyone had planned, we were sitting right in our position, chained at each normal section while the bewildering figure of Death stood before us, someone's gonna die, I don't think there's any sort of excuse we have, to counter today's killing. Death unlocked, Bailey, Madeline, Hadley, Harlow, Kennedy and Rowan. With them all standing before her, she wishes them, happy Death Day. What?.... what is going on?, she's supposed to be striking one every single night like she used to, why the sudden change and picking six different people at once?. I don't know if I have any right to ask, but seeing what's happening now, I believe I should at least make an effort. “ Why?, Why the change?, I thought you only pick a victim each night, why are you changing that now.....?.” I asked, eyes on her, not really expecting an answer, rather her attention is what I just needed. She looks at me, her smile turning into anger as she headed towards my side, Oh God, is she going to pick me too?. Another slap landed on my cheek, just like that of last time, it was really painful more than an ordinary normal slap. She was staring at me with hate, anger fuming, teeth gritting together, I really don't know my offense, but whatever it was, I'm in a lot of trouble, a trouble that will bring me death. “ You might think you've tricked me by rearranging those seatings, you did well, but now, I'll love the day I will skin you alive.... Just wishing it comes soon.” I'm f**ked up.
