"What! My aura changed to red and so did yours." My voice was so quiet that I thought she couldn't hear me.

"How! I thought we had a chance!" Alice whispered back at me. I could hear the anger and disappointment in her.

"So did I, but unless we do something different than we'll end up like everyone else, dead." She started picking at her nails. I looked down at my phone rereading the message again and again. So then it is from Mr. Connor then. It has to be him, who else could it be. I might just have to leave Alice behind. She's slowing me down, I could've been out of here by now and be on my way home. 

I look up at Mr. Connor, he's looks down at his phone smiling and then lighting strikes across the sky and he's looking me in the eyes. We stare at each other and a smile spreads across his face. I look back down at my phone and text the unknown number.

Jessica: "You won't win. I won't let you."

Unknown: "Oh, but I'm afraid I already have. Seeing the look on your face just now brought a wonderful idea of how I should kill you. I know you'll enjoy it soon enough."

Jessica: "I won't let you have the satisfaction." I put my phone away into my backpack and look back up at Mr. Connor. He puts his phone to the side and types away on his laptop. I look at Alice making a decision on whether or not I should leave her. She looks up at me, tears in her eyes. I should of never gotten involved with anyone. 

"Alice, we'll get out of here together, but I believe we'll only be able to save only half of the class. Let's try waiting for a better way out of here, one that helps us get more people out." I lean closer to Alice and lower my voice. "Mr. Connor knows that we know his a psychopathic killer, and that we plan to escape so we need to act like we've been defeated and then when he doesn't see it coming we'll put a new plan into action." She turned back around and started working a her math work and I did the same. The class was quiet with a little chatter here and there from the other classmates. 

We got up and up our pages in one by one into the tray near Mr, Connor's desk. Mr. Connor was back on his computer, he didn't try to close it this time like he did the other times. So he was looking at things that we weren't suppose to see and I know he's not looking at porn. It must be different styles of killing someone. He must of been trying to find the perfect methods to end our life's. 

I place my paper into the tray looking like I lose all hope and so did Alice. I sat down at my desk and looked up at Mr. Connor, a bored looking expression sat on his as he continue looking at his laptop. I looked at my reflection still red, but it got a little lighter along with Alice's. I look at the sky, the rain pours down hard as the time passes. I see lighting in the distance and then I look down at ground and see that the streets are flooded. If this storm continues it'll be harder to escape the school.

I turn my attention back to the classroom when I hear something falls to the floor and see Mr. Connor picking up some pencils that he dropped. Then a girl who was still working gets up and closes her book. She starts walking over to Mr. Connor's desk and puts her paper in the tray. She looks at Mr. Connor whose picking up his pencils and ends up seeing his laptop screen. Her face goes pale and she quickly goes back to her desk. I see that her aura changed slightly and I take out my phone and start texting Alice.

Jessica: "Hey did you see that?"

Alice: "Yeah, what did she see on his laptop?"

Jessica: "I might have a pretty good idea of what it might be."

Alice: "Oh god why would he look at something like that at school!"

Jessica: "I think he's trying to find the best killing method for each and everyone of us."

Alice: "Is there really any hope of getting out of here."

Jessica: "Well we might have a better chance now that she's seen something. It saves us time trying to convince her."

Alice: "We have to find a way to get her to join us without Mr. Connor knowing."

Jessica: "I think I have an idea."

I get out a sticky note from my backpack and start writing a message down on it. I fold it up and hand it to the kid next to telling and pointing to the girl who is looking down at her phone. They pass to note and put it on her desk. She looks up and I wave at her and point to the note. She looks at it and then looks back up at me. She gets her pencil out and writes on it and gives to the person who handed it to her and tells them to pass it back to me. I get it back and open the note to see her name and number written down on it. I put it in my phone and start a group chat with Alice, her, and me. 

Jessica: "So Mary, what did you see on Mr. Connor's screen and I hope you don't mind that my friend Alice is in this with us."

Mary: "It's ok I don't mind, the more you know as they say. Ok so, I saw that he typed "Different ways to kill someone" on Ioogle. Like why would he type something like that up for?"

Alice: "Jessica we need to tell her everything and our plan."

Jessica: "Right, ok Mary this is going to sound crazy, but it's all true so please let me finish before asking questions and saying that it's crazy." 

Mary: "Ok please tell me."
