—————————————————————

While Ash was cleaning and Nikki was heading to the locker-room, Sydney walked out into the gym, beginning to stretch out for gym and their run. As Nikki passes a dumpster on the way to the locker-room she dropped the bag containing her knife and uniform, and headed on her way. She quickly changed and entered the gym, finding Sydney instantly and gravitating toward her while watching her interact with the other students.

All was peaceful for a grand total of about twenty minutes, then a scream rang through the building. Sydney is on her feet running toward it in seconds, sprinting along with a few other kids to figure out what was going on. Casey is seen around the corner, shaking and surrounded by teachers and students. Sydney pushes her way through to the front, seeing Lucianos body immediately and going sheet white, she walks over to Casey and hugs him to calm him down.

Nikki stands there, most being unable to tell if it's grief or no emotions period. Casey goes limp in Sydney's arms, and Aika shows her face, spotting the body and backing up in fear. Sydney starts to pet Casey's head, muttering soothing words to him, and unknowingly pushing him into her bust, Nikki watches them carefully while letting some fake tears fall. She helps Casey down to the ground, still petting him, but effectively calming him down. Sydney herself looks like she's gonna cry, but holds her tears back. Casey sobs into her chest as teachers pull them from the scene, and as they walk back to the gym, she hugs Casey close again and continues to try to calm him down, "Hey, Casey, you'll be ok, you're not gonna get hurt."

Nikki is pulled into a hug by a teacher since she's sobbing, and Aika walks in with a look of pure grief on her face. Sydney pulls her into a hug with Casey, speaking softly to them and telling them that they'll be alright. Nikki is slowly sat down on a bench as sirens wail in the distance, and the trio hugs each-other tightly. She begins to pet the two, eventually dragging Nikki and some other students into the hug as well.

Nikki begins to calm herself, the tears stopping and the police enter the room, calling some students over to question them, Nikki among the first group. The first officer turns and looks at Nikki, "Did you know anything about this?" Nikki shakes her head no, still crying a little bit. "Do you know any reasoning behind it? Anyone that would have seemed suspicious?" Nikki thinks for a moment, the nods yes, speaking slowly, "Well I-I have some suspicions a-as to why someone could have d-done it." The officer takes note of this, and speaks again, "Why would you have suspicions on the reasoning?" Nikki took a breath, "He was a-a creep a-always flirting a-and g-getting to c-close to the g-girls, r-rumors got around that he was a perv a-and he started g-getting bullied for it..." she seemed a little shaky after she said that, almost disgusted in a way. He nods, thinking, "Who did the perverted actions start with?"

Nikki took a moment to fake up a few more tears, "A-always him to start things... he w-would go u-up to girls he l-like and s-start flirting o-out of nowhere and m-making perverted c-comments.." "Do you know the first person he flirted with?" His notepad was poised to write again, as Nikki took a breath and prepared to speak again, "It was-"
