"I'll help you carry Stephanie."

The blonde athlete says nothing and simply grabs ahold of her friend's arms. You take the legs, and together you begin to shuffle off to the office building. The two of you walk in silence. Mostly, you're trying to focus on not dropping your classmate. The girl is heavier than she looks.

"I'm Beth, by the way."

She knew I didn't know her her name? Though embarrassing as it might be, you silently thank her for saving you the trouble of asking.

You cross the asphalt slowly. The sun is hot. It's making you sweat quite a lot. You nearly lose your grip on Stephanie, but catch yourself in time. The friend (whom you now know is Beth) doesn't seem at all bothered by the heat.

She must get lots of practice running when it's hot, you muse quietly.

The legs you hold in your arms twitch a couple times, causing you to nearly drop the unconscious girl.

As you near the nurse's office, you are startled by feedback from a loudspeaker just ten feet from you. You don't recognize the announcer, but that hardly seems important at the moment.

"This is your assistant principal. I have a grave announcement to make."

Oh crud. This can't be good.

"Someone in this school is a murderer. I can't tell who, or why, but someone here is out to kill you. Please, secure yourself and your fellow classmates until security may be brought in to root them out."

We need to get inside, now.

You and Beth glance at each other. She seems to read your mind, and you both pick up the pace. You shift Stephanie's weight onto your left arm, and pull the door with your right.

It refuses to open. Beth gasps.

She says, "How can they lock us out? They just said there's a killer out here!"
