The High School Murder

Chapter two (2)

The past two weeks has been rather uneventful until Mr Elmer, my biology teacher gave us a group project.

Luckily for me, I was grouped with Jessie, it would have been a disaster for me had it been it was someone else, especially a jock. We are studying Genetics, you know DNA, chromosome, alleles, genes, stuffs like that.

Well only Geeks would know all that, so Mr Elmer asked us to study the genetic make up of ten organisms and give a detailed report.

He gave us this project last Friday, Jessie and i had studied over the weekend, we had decided on the organisms to work on, but we needed to carry this out in the lab.

We knew other geeks like us would want to use the lab on Monday, and I hate studying in a rowdy enviroment., so Jessie and I planned to arrive school very early, so we could study before the others arrived.

I woke up very early, I think about 4am, today is Monday so I had to get to school early. I was done with all I had to do by 5am but it was too early to leave home, so I relaxed a little.

Uncle Bryan was at home today, he is actually on his monthly leave that's why, I had a little chat with him to while away time.

'So how is my niece doing?' He asked.

'I am cool, just working on a project,' I said.

'All you ever do is study, do you even have a boyfriend?' He asked jokingly.

'Uncle Bryan!, I don't have time for that now,' I exclaimed.

'So when would you, when you've finally become a scientist?' He asked laughing.

'Of course not, the right time would come,' I answered.

We talked about so many things ranging from maths to physics, from school life to social media. It was as if it was the last time I would have the opportunity to.

It was soon 6'o clock, I had to leave for school, I told my Mom goodbye, I also hugged her, even uncle Bryan too, 'seems my baby needs warm hugs this chilly morning,' my Mom said as she hugged me tight.

'Bye Mom, bye uncle Bryan!' I waved as I began the walk down to school. I pulled out my phone, dialing Jessie's number, it rang twice before she picked it.

'Hey Jessie, what's up?' I asked.

'I am cool, sorry I might arrive a little late,' she said.

'Why?' I asked worried.

'I am having a stomach upset, but it's getting settled, see you in the lab,' she said.

'Okay, would be expecting you, take care, bye,' I said as I cut the call, it was a chilly morning so I walked faster to avoid the cold. I got to school 10 minutes after 6, the school was still scanty,only a few students had arrived.

Since Jessie was going to arrive a little late, I decided to go to the botanical garden first. The botanical garden is at the extreme end of the school, it's such a lovely place to visit, where you can actually relax in peace with 'No Noise'.

As I walked down the hallway with my glasses on, bag on my back. I actually felt as if someone was following me, I turned around but saw no one.

'Maybe it's just my imagination,' I thought as I continued walking to the garden, I was about to branch into another hallway when I felt two strong hands suddenly grabbing me on both sides. I wanted to scream but I someone else covered my mouth with his hands, I struggled with them, my heart racing first.

'Could they be the famous cult group?' I thought.

There is this rumour about a secret cult in Burston High, 'Wild cats", they are known for bullying, assault and rape, but there had been no report of any victim, so that's why it's just a rumour.

I was able to free my hands, I bit the hand covering my mouth and started to run. If it was really the 'Wild cats' then I am in serious trouble, I didn't wait to see their faces, I could still hear them coming after me. I was in such an hurry, screaming as I ran but no one heard since it was early in the morning, and I was almost st the extreme end of the school.

I slipped and fell, my glasses falling off, I could not see clearly anymore, I tried searching for it with my hands all to no avail.

They soon caught up with me, one kicked me hard in my ribs, it hurts so much I felt like I was going to pass out.

'Who are you guys? Why are you doing this to me?' I asked now in tears.

They didn't reply, I could see the outline of their body but not their faces, they were four in number. Someone gagged me, so I couldn't scream anymore.

My heart was racing fast, beating hard against my chest, 'what in the world are they going to do to me?'

'Why are they doing this to me ?' Were the questions in my head. Someone lifted me up and carried me on his shoulders, my phone slipped out of my pocket, I could see the screen beeping it was probably Jessie calling.

'If only I had stayed in the lab,' I thought as I was been carried away to God knows where, they didn't see my phone because they didn't pick it up, or maybe they just decided to leave it.

They soon dropped me somewhere, I couldn't say where because I couldn't see clearly but I guess it was their hideout.

I sat on the floor, looking around hoping my sight would get clearer. 'Isn't she such a chick!' One exclaimed.

The others whistled as they began to touch me, I tried screaming but the gag in my mouth restrained me.

'I can't let this happen! I won't let thus happen,' I thought but what could I do, I couldn't even see clearly. I felt two strong hands pressing me down on both sides.

'No! Please don't!' I pleaded in my heart.

They were beginning to take off my clothes, more like tear off my clothes. I have to fight back, I scratched, I kicked, I cried, I struggled. But they were way too stronger than I was, someone stricked me on the head.

I winced in pain, I could not struggle anymore, I was weak, dizzy, helpless and vulnerable to my enemies, my attackers.
