in your room, your parents were asleep which left the house super quiet

until you heard a small knock on your window

you looked to see stu by the window, tears streaming down his face, you quickly got up and opened your window to let him inside

"what's wrong?" was the first thing you asked "i miss you" stu silently cried

"what?" you asked the boy, more confused than ever

"i shouldn't have picked casey over you" stu explained

"i should've picked you" he said

-

"it's happening again" your blood ran cold

ghostface is back

after going through such a traumatic experience, people got a laugh out of it and are trying to have other innocent people live through it

"it happened at the 'Stab' movie" tatum sighed "of course it did" you looked down

"are you okay?" tatum asked "no, innocent lives are starting to be taken again" you answered "are you okay?" you asked tatum "no" she held in a sob before pulling you in for a hug

"wanna skip first?" tate asked after the hug, briefly holding onto your shoulders

you couldn't help but sadly smile at those words, thinking back to when you and stu skipped first period for breakfast

oh, how much you miss him

"yeah, i don't think i can handle all the looks" you let out an airy laugh, tatum sadly smiled at you before hugging you once more

"we can go look for randy, if you want" she suggested "yeah, let's go look for your loverboy" you joked

tatum jokingly rolled her eyes before holding your hand and walking out of the dorm you two shared

(he is my loverboy ;) - nick sturniolo) sorry, i can't stop thinking of that youtube vid

as soon as the both of you stepped out of the dorm buildings, news reporters swarmed you and tate with questions and cameras

you two ignored all the attention and kept walking

you guys got to randy's current class which was film class, once he seen you and tatum he stood up with mickey (your not so secret admirer) right behind him

the first day of college, mickey instantly gained a crush on you

"i'd let the geek get the girl" was all you heard randy say before he rushed to tatum's side "hey, you okay?" he asked her as they walked

"you good?" mickey asked you with his arm over your shoulder...

there are two types of guys in this world..

"i don't know" you said, your voice barely audible "you can always talk to me, you know that right?" he asked as he stopped you two from walking

he's always there for you and wouldn't let anybody hurt you

just like stu.

"hey" mickey called, slightly waving his hand in front of your face "yeah, i know" you snapped back into reality

"you miss him, don't you?" he asked once the two of you started walking again

you just stayed silent, feeling as if any answer were the wrong one

"it's okay to miss him, y/n" mickey said "but if he missed you too, wouldn't he find you?" he asked

that really had you second guessing stuart, of course he'd try to look for you he's just laying low

right?

"he's probably scared" you said "he probably thinks everybody thinks he's guilty when everyone knows he's not" you sighed "the police even announced that he's innocent" you added

"yeah but, if he's got nothin' to worry about, then why's he hiding?" mickey asked before the two of you caught up with sid and her boyfriend derek

you didn't get a chance to respond with sidney giving you a tight hug

"are you okay?" she asked, her voice slightly trembling "yeah, are you?" you asked, she just nodded before hugging you once more

"hey, hallie" you smiled before hugging the girl "hey, y/n" she gratefully returned the hug

"how are you holding up?" she whispered as everyone struck up another conversation

"i don't know, i don't wanna believe it" you sighed "i don't wanna believe that ghostface is back" you added

"yeah, reality hurts like a bitch" hallie sighed "it's okay to not know how you feel, y/n" she said "and it's okay to not believe stuff" she added

your conversation with hallie got cut short after hearing chief hartley speak into a microphone

"ladies" mickey said, walking by two girls

"oh, my god. this is huge" randy said as he admired the crowd

"do you have any suspects?" the group heard gale ask

"of course she's in the front row" tate whispered to you as mickey held his camera up, you laughed and slightly nudged her arm

"sidney, look, it's gale weathers" randy turned to sid who sat by derek "what?" sid asked, now standing by you and tatum

"star of the gale weathers press conference, based on the book by gale weathers, soon to be a major motion starring gale weathers" randy listed, speaking to mickey's camera

"be kind, she saved our lives" sid said "surprisingly" you whispered to tatum who laughed before resting her head on your shoulder

"she had calf implants" randy noticed "what the fuck?" you and tatum giggled

"chief hartley, do you plan on giving the town a curfew?" gale asked

"i'm gonna get closer" randy told his friends before walking off

"here come the barbies" tatum groaned as the group who has been trying to get you, sid, and tate to join their house walked up to you and your friends

"hello, girls" one of them gave you and tatum a fake smile "enjoying yourselves?" she asked

"oh, hello sister lois, sister murphy" hallie smiled "hello, pledge. hi, girls" they smiled widely at you, sid, and tate

"hey" sid awkwardly replied while you and tatum stayed quiet

"just say the word and i'll send them all tumbling down the hill" mickey whispered to you, you couldn't help but giggle at those words

"this must be flat-out hell for you three" one of the girls tried to sympathize "how are you guys holding up?" she asked

"we manage" tatum spoke

"it's really weird, isn't it? to think this fuss is all because of you guys!" she smiled "i mean, not directly, but in some six-degree-of-Kevin Bacon way" she added

"i might just send them tumbling by myself" you whispered to tatum and mickey who both laughed

"hallie, are you gonna bring your friends to our little martini mixer tonight?" she asked "we have a lot of work to do" sid said, trying to bail you there out of going

"we'll be there" hallie said, putting her hand on sidney's shoulder

"oh, good because we have our eyes on you three" she said pointing to you, sid, and tate

"yeah, we're aware" you spoke, having tatum and mickey hide their faces to try and prevent themselves from laughing too loud

"anyways, you three hang in there, and if there's anything we can do—" another girl spoke

"the Delta Lambdas are very sensitive to your guys' plight" the blonde girl finished with her hand over her heart

"bye!" they all smiled before walking away
