~ 3 days Before
Snow-frost University
Graduation~

I waited eagerly for the next person in line to finished their order.

Continually I would check the time on my phone and then back at the register.

You would think ordering an unhealthy fatty burger and highly salty fries wouldn't take this long.

I began tapping my fingers one by one against my thigh before glancing back at my watch.

"You have somewhere to be?" A unfamiliar voice spoke from behind me.

Turning my head slightly off the left side of my shoulder to get a glimpse at the person they were already flashing their teeth at me.

Giving a tight smile I nodded while turning back around.

" actually I do"

I was now next in line to order.

"Hi welcome to McDonalds how may I take your order?" The women at the register ask me with so much delight and joy in her voice and in her eyes.

She must really love her job....

"Hi, I would like two of your bacon quarter pounder burgers, a large fry and a Diet Coke"

" sure thing sugar, your total is $13.58"

" okay" I responded while retrieving my money from out the coat pocket.

After handing her the money, I waited for the receipt to print out.

" here you are honey, your number is 58. Have a great day"

" same to you ma'am"

Now moving on down the line towards the pick-up area, I could feel the vibration of my phone buzzing against my side.

Pulling the device from out my pocket and into my hand... I took a look at it to see sho it was from.

Gwen: hey... just checking in
to see if you was close by?

Me: yes!, I stop by to get something to eat before I finished that last hour drive. How are you?

Gwen: 🤮

Checking back at my phone I laughed softly at the response.

" order number 58?" The women shouted out before placing the bag that had grease stain coming from the bottom of it down on the counter.

Looking up from my phone, I heading over to pick up my order.

" thanks" I spoke now walking through the crowd and out the doors into the cold weather of Arkansas.

I could feel my phone buzzing and I knew it was only my favorite person in this whole world.

" hang on, I just need one good delicious bite of this sandwich" I said to myself.

Moments later......

Another buzz.

Placing the burger down I lifted my lower body up just a bit so that my fingers could retrieve my phone from out my back pocket.

Gwen: where are you?

Looking at the time I knew that I at least had six more hours of daylight.

"Where's the fire!" I chuckled as I was began to text back but then another message came through.

Gwen: hurry up and get here. I need you !!

Gwen: ??? WTF. text me back !

Not sure what was happening I rolled down the bag of food and attempted to text back but then...

Another message came through.

Gwen: GET HERE NOW!!!

Me: hey, I'm coming what's wrong?

Backing the car up I then punch the gas now anxious to get to the city of snow-frost.

Noticing I didn't get a reply after the last fifteen minutes I decided to send another one.

Me: hey are you okay? What's wrong?.... Text me back

Checking the gps I had a good 45 minutes left to go.

Feeling worried about this silence that I was receiving now I reach back for my phone and gave a call.

Hopefully I get an answer.

Outgoing call to Gwen.... Sorry but you have reach the voicemail box of 2..5..7...

Hanging up I redialed the number.

My gut wasn't feeling good.

Something was wrong, I could feel it.

Outgoing call to Gwen: sorry but you have reach the voicemail box 2..5..7...

" shit... pick up the damn phone" I utter before slapping my hand on the steering wheel.

*******

Welcome to
Snow-Flake, Falls

I was panicking.

My joy and excitement was now overshadowed by fear and anxiety.

What the hell was going on? Why were the messages becoming concerning and odd.

Matter of fact why wasn't there any replies.

Checking the gps I only had ten minutes left before I made it, but by the way I was driving it will be less than five minutes.

Now pulling into the driveway I didn't care about turning the ignition off I was in worried mode at this point.

Grabbing my phone again I still haven't gotten a signal message yet, nor a callback.

Stepping into the lobby I headed straight towards the front desk.

" welcome to  snow-frost university how can I assist you?"

" um yes I would like to do a welfare check"

The lady gave me this looked as I was sweating and feeling very uneasy.

" okay... and to whom are you trying to get In contact with?"

Giving her the information she remained with a concern look on her face but type in the information.

"Room 14B is that correct" she asked.

Nodding my head yes, she began to print out a visitor pass.

" okay here you go, please let me know if you have questions on how to get there, or if you need any assistance"

" thanks, I should be okay" I said while sticking the thin layer of paper onto my coat.

" alright then" her eyes slowly reverted back over to the computer screen as I wasted no more time standing around.

Pacing my walk, I turn my head from left to right checking each number that was carved into the dorm room door.

" 12b...13b...." Then I came to a halt.

Those feelings were coming back.

The feelings of the unknown of what's happening behind this door.

I got the courage to lift my trembling, slippery fingers up to the doorknob while trying my best to do some deep breathing control.

That wasn't working.

" hey you need help?"

Turning to my left it was a girl with the most prettiest smile, with long flowing blonde hair.

Her eyes glistening as the sunlight hits it and her skin seeming so smooth.

I laughed softly out of embarrassment while turning to face her direction.

"No... just a little nervous"

" you'll lose those nerves soon trust me. Snow-frost university is one of the most friendliness and welcoming universities you could have ever chosen"

" oh wait no" I shook my head " I don't attend I'm visiting someone who does ho here and this is the room"

We glared at each other for a moment before another awkward smile came across both our faces.

" ohhh I see" she smiled "well enjoy and hope I'll see you around more often"

" yeah" I agreed

Watching her walk away with her books in one arm and a popsicle in the other my attention was now back at the door.

Not wanting to procrastinate any longer,  I turn the knob,  and the door opened without any hesitation.

I peaked my head inside first before the rest of my body followed.

" hello?"

I walked a little further inside and within seconds I was hissing from a stinging sensation coming from the bottom of my shoe.

Using the walk as a prop I lifted my shoe and notice broken glass.

Taking in a deep breath on and out I carefully pulled the glass from out of my shoe.

With my head still towards the floor I was making out more broken glass scattered across.

" what..the..." I utter with my brows frowned.

Trying my best to walk around it I limp deeper into the dorm to see the living room in a mess.

"What the hell happened in here?"

Every thing was toss around from the couches to the shattered table the mirror on the walls

everything!!!.

" is anyone here?" I yelled out again this time I knew.

I knew someone was hurt... badly.

Down to one room now.

The one I knew something unpleasant and unimaginable was coming up.

Building my courage up to be stronger than the fear that keeps wanting to come out I walked towards the door.

" oh shit" I said when I felt my body almost taking a tumble to the floor.

Something told me not to look down but once I did I scream out.

BLOOD.

There were so much dark blood oozing out from underneath that door you would have thought this was a scary film.

"Hello?" My voice shake.

My white vans were now a bloody red and as soon as I walked in and the lights flick on...

I freaked out. I was completely in shocked at what I was seeing and all I could do was scream until I couldn't scream no more.

What I can remember from this night  was seeing the lifeless body dangling from off the bed covered in

Blood.

The feeling of getting shifted and push around eventually started to happen as people was rushing inside the room to see what was going on.

I knew my body collapsed on the floor as I just watch in slow motion the people flip the body over and that's where I saw the face.

The  tears had my vision blurred but I will never forget the way the face was looking at me.

Why did this happen? Who did this to caused this horrible accident?.

Why did they wanted to see you dead?

So much question was cramming in my brain but i only had one answer for it all.

Revenge.
