Kill Switch Chapter 1

There was a loud bang and then a scream. The four friends ran down the now deserted hallway as they tried to find a way out of the locked school. Footsteps could be heard following their every movement. They ran back down the stairway and into the principals office. Mr. Waller was no where to be seen, possibly another victim of the murderous rampage. They sat and rested in the office trying to think of a way to get out of the school alive, when they heard a something move in behind the desk.

It all started three days ago. It was a warm and sunny day at Roscoe High and as all of the students swarmed into the school, they could already tell that their was something wrong. Mr. Waller was increasingly shaky and didn't enforce the rules the way he had always done every day. Many students took advantage of this fact, and many sat back wondering what was going on to make him so unfocused. Travis and Ray sat on the bench by the stars watching Mr Waller carefully. Robbie and Lily had not arrived yet, and they were two of the first people to notice Mr. Waller's strange behavior.

"I don't get why he would start acting like this." said Travis. "He doesn't exactly startle easily."

"Well, he has never let me get away with anything in this school and I skateboarded into school today, I also knocked over several girls and landing in a trash can." said Ray. "He didn't even give me a second look."

"There has to be something more serious wrong." said Travis watching Mr. Waller squeeze his way through the crowd of students.

"What are you guys watching?" Lily asked coming down the stairs.

"Waller!" Ray replied simply.

"What is he doing that is so interesting?" Lily asked now watching too.

"It's not what he is doing that is interesting, its what he is not doing." said Travis.

"We have watched three kids playing ball in the hallway, people running down the halls, and me skateboarding into the school." said Ray. "He didn't say anything, he didn't even look at us."

"He isn't worrying about the school like he usually does." said Travis. "He is worrying about something else."
