Chapter Fifteen – Ash

My statistics grade was doing a bit better than it was at the beginning of the semester, but I was pretty sure that mostly had to do with the fact that Corey wasn’t our teacher anymore. We had an older professor, one who decided to take Corey’s classes out of the kindness of his heart—or the bigger paycheck Hillcrest was surely offering him. An older man, probably in his late sixties, he didn’t seem to care too much about the nitty-gritty details, and on our quizzes he let us use cheat sheets, which pretty much made them open-book quizzes. I had no idea if our exams would be like this, but I wasn’t going to complain.

Corey. I still couldn’t believe I was the last one to see him alive, other than the killer. Unless it was some random attack, or maybe Corey was into some illegal shit? Who could say. Someone could look like a nerd but secretly have a stash of drugs in their car or something…though if that was the case, the police probably would’ve found some evidence of that. As it stood now, Corey had died, cut down like an animal, for a reason no one knew.

I couldn’t let my mind think of the picture Officer Melendez had shown me. If I lingered on the blood, on how his eyes were still open…I might actually have another panic attack, and I’d had enough of those things to last me a lifetime already.

No. I couldn’t think about Corey, or what happened to him. I couldn’t think about how his killer was still out there, maybe planning to kill again.

Were any of us safe here? Sure, Hillcrest had upped security on campus, adding extra patrols at all hours of the day, but still. These rich people probably thought nothing bad like that would ever happen on their campus, let alone right after the dean was killed after attacking his son and being suspected of having an illegal relationship with a minor.

Hillcrest’s reputation was on a steady decline this year, it seemed.

Once class was over, I packed up and pulled my hoodie over my head. I didn’t wear a beanie today, my blonde and pink hair flying free. I also used my skateboard, for the first time in what felt like forever. Today’s outside temperatures were still a bit cold, but I missed being able to skate along, weaving between the crowds, a quick dart among snails.

At least, I was a dart until I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I steered my skateboarding self to the side of the sidewalk, kicking up the back as I hopped off and checked my phone. I think, on this entire campus, I was the only skateboarder. There really weren’t many skaters around here.

Or emos. Or goths. Or anyone with a personality that didn’t scream mommy and daddy’s money.

I’d gotten a text message from Sawyer, and I was quick to read it. He…asked if he could take me somewhere this weekend, without my other guys present.
