From the book: I'm Not A Serial Killer by Dan Wells

~

Imagine: Being one of John's friends other than Max.  You three sat at lunch together discussing the new Clayton Serial Killer, but you as you sat tensely and quietly because you knew who it was- what it was. Noticing your odd behavior, John kept on pestering you about it after lunch wanting answers but you snap at him, leaving him alone in the halls.

"Why were you so tense and didn't say anything?"

       "Because I didn't want to talk about it."

"Seriously? But you're into this stuff like me! Wouldn't this interest you? What's wrong? Is this there something you're not telling me?"

         "..."

"Y/n, what are you hiding?" he grabbed her wrist to prevent her from walking away from him only to have her wrist leave his tight grip immediately and a glare sent his way. 

        "Just leave it John! This doesn't concern you in any way nor should you be meddling into this kind of stuff! Just- just leave me alone." she stormed off, leaving him alone in the silent hallway with his dangerous thoughts.
