Three Weeks Later

Some time had passed since Maxis was attacked by Ghostface. For the first week after the attack, there were police patrols all over the street that Maxis and Kyle lived on and the surrounding streets as well. After that week was over however, the police had gone back to their other duties. Luckily, Ghostface hadn't been seen since that night.  

***

It was currently 3 or 4 PM and people were out in the parking lot of the local college campus. Most classes were done for the day and everyone was racing to get home. Everyone except for a select few. One of them being Kyle, as he was waiting for both Shannon and Maxis to join him.

As he waited, Bryce and Evan walked by him and eventually stopped at a nearby light pole. Kyle would try to listen in to what they were saying, being the curious and nosy friend that he was.

"So, I'll be there around 6:30?" Evan spoke.

Bryce nodded, "Just come in, they know you're coming." He replied and smiled.

Evan nodded and turned towards Kyle, having noticed that he was listening in on their conversation for a while. 

"Thank god you're not the one studying to be a detective, because I knew you were listening to us." He teased.

"Shut up." Kyle quickly retorted with a chuckle, "So, what's this secret party that I'm not invited to?"

Evan chuckled in response, "The totally secret party on Bryce's expensive yacht." He laughed again, "Nah, we're just going to the campus library. We need to do some research for our presentation we're doing."

Kyle nodded, "But isn't the library closed after 5?"

"Normally yes," Bryce replied, "but I begged and pleaded with the librarian to let us come after." He added with a smile.

Evan would nod as well and reply with a joke, "He even did the puppy eyes on them."

Kyle sighed and shook his head, even if he knew it was a joke, "I believe it."

After spending a few more moments talking, Bryce and Evan said goodbye and proceeded to leave their friend there. Maxis and Shannon would show up a few minutes later and they would leave with Kyle after that.

***

It was now 6:30 and Evan was pulling into the parking lot of the campus. He'd shut off his car and grab his phone along with his bag, which held everything else he would need for the night. Then, he'd make his way towards the library.

***

After a five munute walk, he was entering the library and being quickly greeted by Bryce, who was sitting at a table. Evan would set his stuff down on one of the chairs at the table.

"Alright, let's get to it." Bryce smiled, getting up to lead Evan to some of the books that he had picked out.

Evan softly sighed and followed behind him, letting Bryce take him to where his stack was.

After grabbing a few, the two guys would go back to the table and take their seats. Bryce would pop in his earbuds and open both a book and his notebook. Evan would do the same, but not before bringing up hockey highlights on youtube, so that he could listen to that while doing his research.

***

An hour or so had passed and the two guys were now ready to take a break. They both ended up sitting their pens down and pulling their earbuds out.

Bryce looked at Evan, "How much did you get?"

Evan flipped his notebook around and showed his pages. There was about three and a half pages worth of notes. Bryce smiled as he also showed Evan his, which was about the same amount of notes.

"I think we deserve a break." Bryce replied, once he turned his notebook around.

Evan nodded and reached for his water bottle, taking a sip from it. At the same time, Bryce would give Evan a snack that he had brought, which earned him a "thanks" from the other. The two would spend the next several minutes talking about various things, including their plans for the upcoming Christmas break, which would be for about a whole month.

***

Having spent a good 25 minutes on their break, they decided that they'd do one more round of research for the night before leaving.

They grabbed the books that they no longer needed and headed to the front desk to return them. However, when they got there, they noticed that the librarian was gone.

"Hey, where'd they go?" Bryce asked, gesturing to the empty chair behind the desk.

Evan shrugged, "Probably out for a smoke or something?"

Bryce nodded, "Well, speaking of out, I'm going to use the bathroom. Be back in a few minutes."

As Bryce exited the building, Evan grumbled and called him an asshole because they left him there to pick out some books by himself, even if Bryce was the one who picked the first set of books before Evan got there.

***

Bryce had went to find the nearest bathroom on the campus. It was a good few minutes away from the library, but he had finally made it.

He would enter the bathroom and walk past the stalls to get to one of the urinals. Quickly doing his business, Bryce would flush and then wash his hands. Once done with that, he'd turn to his left to grab a few paper towels.

As he tore a few off, the bathroom door opened and closed behind him. Bryce didn't hear it though because the sound of him tearing off the paper towels had droned it out. Soon, however, Bryce would turn around and jump back, having been startled.

What he saw was someone wearing a Ghostface costume. Naturally, he assumed that it was Evan, because there was no one else on the campus, or at least that's what he thought.

"Damn, Evan." Bryce huffed, "You scared the crap out of me." He chuckled, "You know, if Kyle or Maxis were here, they'd probably kill you."

Ghostface just stood there and remained silent. The only thing they did was stare at Bryce through the black eye holes of the white, plastic mask.

Letting out an awkward chuckle, Bryce spoke, "Okay, let's get back to the library?"

The blonde male would take a step to the side and Ghostface would do the same. Bryce would take another step and Ghostface would mimic their move, again.

"Okay Evan, you've have your fun... Now let's really go back." Bryce chuckled awkwardly again as he tried to push past them.

As expected, Ghostface didn't move out of Bryce's way. They did, however, grab onto Bryce's arm.

Trying to yank his arm away, Bryce panicked, "Hey, Evan this isn't funny! Let go!"

Their grip on Bryce's arm only tightened after that. As Bryce continued to squirm, Ghostface finally pulled their familiar buck knife out, and Bryce's eyes widened upon seeing the blade in the killer's other hand.

The masked killer swung their knife towards Bryce. He would try his best to block it, but all that resulted in was the blade going through his palm and out the other side of his hand.

Bryce let out a horrifying yelp, feeling and seeing the blade go through the other side of his hand. Ghostface would rip the knife out, which caused Bryce to clutch his bleeding hand and back up.

The blonde haired male didn't get too much distance between him and the killer, however, as Ghostface managed to land another stab on him. This time, it was in his gut.

Bryce clutched his two wounds and backed himself into the corner, whimpering and muttering pleas of mercy from the killer. All Ghostface did was tilt their head to the side as they stepped closer to Bryce. Once they got close enough, they repeatedly plunged their knife into him.

The only thing Bryce could do was cry out for help while taking the stabbings. It remained that way until his body went limp  and there were no more cries for help.

Meanwhile, back in the library, Evan sighed as he set a stack of books on the table. He would then look at his phone, his eyes widening as he saw the time. Beginning to wonder where Bryce was, Evan pulled up his messages and was about to text him. That was until his phone started ringing. It was a call coming from Bryce.

Accepting the call, Evan put the phone to his ear, "Hey man, where you at? Did you fall in?" He joked, having expected to hear Bryce laugh after.

There was a response from the other end of the line, however it wasn't Bryces laughter or even his voice...

"Hello, Evan~"

....

A/N: Oh crap! Poor Bryce, thinking that it was Evan :( And now, Evan getting a call from Bryce's phone. I wonder what'll happen next?! :0 We'll find out next time, lol, stay safe and peace out!
