Welcome to Weekly Spooky, where horror comes home—this time with a tiara, a body count, and a dance you’ll never forget.

🎓 Prom Night of the Dead is an epic four-part horror saga set in the sinister town of Strickfield. It all begins at prom, where jealousy and betrayal erupt into a brutal massacre. But death is only the beginning…

👻 Two months later, as students return for summer school, strange events unfold—ghost sightings, mysterious disappearances, and a prom queen who just won’t stay dead. As the bodies pile up, one girl, Roni Brunswick—a foul-mouthed drug dealer with a heart of gold—is caught between redemption and revenge.

💀 Featuring bloody high school drama, blackmail, forbidden romances, and one unforgettable supernatural showdown, this tale of twisted teenage terror is Carrie meets I Know What You Did Last Summer with a wicked grindhouse twist.

Whether you’re a fan of ghost stories, slasher throwbacks, or dark coming-of-age horror, Prom Night of the Dead delivers all the creepy chaos your dark little heart could want.

and I'll see you very soon. Prom Night of the

14
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:17.719
Dead Part one by Rob Fields Prologue Prom Night two

15
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:23.079
months ago, Lilyan Johanson and her boyfriend Randy Oleery were

16
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.239
dancing to a slow song in the Strickfield High School

17
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.879
Gymnasium where the Junior and Senior prom was being held.

18
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:35.319
As Lilian looked around, she saw that many people were

19
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:39.879
in attendance from both classes. She easily saw the beautiful

20
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:44.879
and busty Taylor Miron, the previous year's Junior Crown winner,

21
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.840
and knew she would easily win the Senior prom Queen

22
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:53.200
Crown two. Just as Taylor Miren was the front runner

23
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:56.640
for her class's crown, Lilian felt deep down that she

24
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:01.319
would win the Junior Class Crown. The day when Principal

25
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.439
Matthew Van Deiste announced the nominees for the Junior Class Crown,

26
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:10.159
he called out Lilian's name first. Lilian had dreamed of

27
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.240
this moment ever since she had seen the family photo

28
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.000
album of her aunt and the current Strickfield High Drama

29
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.560
instructor Devon Decker after she won the Senior Class crown

30
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:25.960
years ago. Lilian was a spitting image of Anne Hathaway

31
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.599
from her Disney years and was the complete opposite of

32
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:33.719
Taylor Miron in almost every way. Lilian was one of

33
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:36.840
the nicest girls you would ever meet. While she didn't

34
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.879
come from money and prestige the way her senior class

35
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.919
counterpart did, she believed in her morals and felt they

36
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.520
would carry her to becoming a prom queen. As Lilian

37
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.479
danced with Randy, she was happy that he was there

38
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.919
for Lilian had known Randy since the sixth grade.

39
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:55.840
They became a.

40
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.680
Couple midway through eighth grade, and now here they were

41
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.000
at their first of two proms. Randy and Lilian were

42
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.719
a power couple in the junior class. Randy himself was

43
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.960
the son of Philip Bullery, who was known as the

44
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:16.000
friendliest mailman in Strickfield and was also a village councilman.

45
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.360
This made Randy a popular student by default. Also, he

46
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:25.039
was just as nice as Lilian. When the slow song

47
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.840
was finished and Randy and Lilian decided to leave the

48
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.840
gymnasium for a little bit, the two of them went

49
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.879
into a dark part of the hallway and talked. Soon

50
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.759
they started making out. Lilian had promised herself she would

51
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.840
give Randy her virginity. Once they had left the prom

52
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:46.639
and went to their hotel room. Suddenly they stopped kissing.

53
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.599
When they both felt they weren't alone, They turned and

54
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:55.520
saw Lillian's older sister, Cameron, leaning up against a wall

55
00:03:56.039 --> 00:04:00.000
and staring hard at them. Seriously, what do you want?

56
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.719
I want now? Lilian demanded. Cameron moved from the wall

57
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:09.560
and smirked, Randy, you do realize my sister couldn't give

58
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:14.840
two shits about you, right, Lilian? Became angry and tightened

59
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:21.360
her fists. Cameron, just leave us alone, please, Cameron laughed

60
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:27.279
a little, leave you alone. You have something that belongs

61
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:33.120
to me, little sister. She pointed at Lilian. You were

62
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:37.519
the one who stole Randy from me. You knew how

63
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.399
I felt about him, and you didn't care.

64
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:42.480
You just take, take, take.

65
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:48.319
Lilian shook her head quickly. No, I didn't get arrested

66
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.319
for stealing and starting fights because you found out about

67
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:55.279
Randy and me. You going to Juvie was all on you,

68
00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.839
Cameron pointed at her. Because of you, and thanks to you,

69
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.680
all my college applications were rejected. Now I gotta take

70
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.040
summer school if I want to graduate here. Then it's

71
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:12.759
only gonna be some stupid community college in North Ridgeway

72
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:17.480
for me. All because you had to steal Randy away

73
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:22.720
from me. So what you found out he was going

74
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:26.600
away to college. So you fuck me over by stealing Randy.

75
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.519
So you can get out of this shithole village. Cameron

76
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:35.959
came and got in Randy's face. I mean it, dump Lillian,

77
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:38.600
or she'll dump you when you can't give her what

78
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.480
she wants anymore. Randy groaned and pushed her away. Just

79
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:48.720
leave Lilian alone. Cameron retaliated by grabbing Randy's shoulders and

80
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.600
kneeing him hard in the groin, sending him to his knees.

81
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.160
You won't ever have to worry about having kids with

82
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.759
my baby sister if you ever touch me again like that.

83
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:05.839
She backed away. Go ahead, stay with Lilian, like I said,

84
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:10.759
She'll leave you when you least expect it. She laughed

85
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:15.519
scornfully and walked away from them. Lilian sighed sadly as

86
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.439
she helped Randy up. We both love you, and you

87
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:23.240
chose me. I can't believe she got so violent when

88
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:28.160
you did. She never used to be like that. Randy

89
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:32.079
put gentle hands on her shoulders. Don't blame yourself, Lilian.

90
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.800
She made her choices and went to Juvie and Pendleton

91
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:41.480
for them. She sighed again, you're right. Their eyes met

92
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:45.839
and they kissed passionately again. The more they kissed, the

93
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:50.160
more Lilian knew she could wait no longer. When they

94
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:55.879
stopped kissing, Lilian took Randy's hand. Let's go somewhere where

95
00:06:55.920 --> 00:07:00.519
we can be alone. Lilian and Randy went into one

96
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.439
of the many empty classrooms. Lilian pulled the door shut

97
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:08.079
and turned to face Randy, who was now transfixed by

98
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:12.000
her beautiful smile. Then she approached him to help him

99
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:16.399
remove his tucks jacket. As Randy started to unzip her

100
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:20.560
dress in the back, they heard some loud ruckus in

101
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:26.959
the next classroom over. Oh, come on, Liian groaned really

102
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:32.399
as she moved away from Randy. He reached out for her. Lilian, don't.

103
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.399
Lilian reached the door and opened it to hear screaming

104
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.399
as Cheryl Blint, one of the senior class prom queen candidates,

105
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:43.519
ran right past her, holding up the skirt of her

106
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:48.279
dress as she booked it barefoot down the hallway. What

107
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:53.959
the Lilian muttered, Lilian, come on. Randy protested, get back

108
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:58.439
in here. As Lilian pulled the door shut. Laura Lee Hardy,

109
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.160
another Senior Class Queen candidate, suddenly appeared right in front

110
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.360
of her. Lilian saw lare Lee's jaw was tightened. What

111
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:12.360
was more, Laura Lee had a knife. Lilian's eyes opened

112
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:16.319
wide as her life flashed right before her eyes. Before

113
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.720
Lilian could move away, Before Randy could move to try

114
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:24.439
and save her, Laura Lee Hardy raised the knife and

115
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:29.839
ran it across Lilian's throat. Slicing through her delicate skin

116
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:35.879
like warm butter. Lilian gurgled as she held her hand

117
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:41.440
to her new gushing smile. But Laurele wasn't finished just yet.

118
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:47.080
Stupid slut, Laura Lee muttered in a deeper, manly voice

119
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.840
as she grabbed Lilian by the back of her hair

120
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:54.039
and quickly stabbed her in the stomach three times. Then

121
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.159
Laura Lee shoved Lilian to the floor and continued her

122
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:03.759
pursuit of Cheryl Bline to the gymnasium and the prom itself.

123
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:07.480
Randy was quickly on his smartphone to nine one one

124
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.360
to yell for an ambulance for Lilian, not that it

125
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.320
would have mattered. After dropping the phone, he dropped to

126
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:20.360
Lilian and cradled her slain, bloody body in his arms.

127
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:26.960
Oh God, Lilian, No, he choked through tears. Randy held

128
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.759
Lilian until the paramedics had finally arrived for her. When

129
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:34.879
they officially confirmed her death, Randy continued to hold her

130
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:41.039
body as he sobbed and cried. Finally, Randy relinquished Lilian

131
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.840
to the paramedics for them to take her to the

132
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:56.320
Strickfield General Hospitals, Morgue. Two months later, Monday, morning. Ronnie

133
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.679
Brunswick walked into Strickfield High the very next day after graduation.

134
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:04.399
She quickly had to turn around and flick the cigarette

135
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:08.080
she had in her mouth back outside. After coming back in,

136
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.039
she blew out the menthol smoke she held in her

137
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:16.720
lungs right inside the building. Fucking' hell, Ronnie muttered. She

138
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.240
walked the hallway until she came to room twelve, where

139
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:25.919
she was to begin summer school. Ronda Brunswick glad you

140
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:30.480
could make it and on time. Principal Matthew van Deiste cheered.

141
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:34.200
When she walked in. She glared at him with utter hatred.

142
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:40.679
The name's Ronnie, and you can get fucked. Principal van

143
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:44.240
Deste was used to Ronnie's outbursts as well as her

144
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.759
choice of words. She flipped him off and started to

145
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:52.320
walk to the back. No, no, Ronda, Principal van Deist

146
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:55.279
called out. When she turned around. He pointed to a

147
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:59.320
chair at the very front. This seat right here has

148
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:00.080
your name on it.

149
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:00.919
Sit.

150
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:05.279
Ronnie tightened her jaw and resumed going to the back.

151
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:10.080
I'll fucking piss where I please. As soon as she

152
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:15.039
sat down, Principal van Deist gestured her way. Ronda here

153
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.360
like a few of you are in my class because,

154
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:23.080
simply put, you won't graduate if you don't pass either

155
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:27.679
government or economics. Now some of you are juniors getting

156
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:31.679
a head start on senior year, which is great. People

157
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.480
like Ronda are here because they can't be bothered to

158
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.919
come to school. Ronda is also under a plea bargain

159
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:44.519
with Strickfield PD. She has to take my classes and

160
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:48.919
pass both of them to graduate. If she doesn't pass,

161
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:53.399
she doesn't graduate. If she doesn't graduate, she goes right

162
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:59.440
to prison at glen View for prostitution. Isn't that right? Ronda?

163
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.200
Now come up here and sit, or I'll just flunk

164
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:06.200
you right here and now. Then you can write me

165
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:10.000
hate meal from your prison cell. Ronnie was heaving by

166
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:13.360
the time he finished, and shot up, I'm gonna fucking

167
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.960
kill you. As she started to rush at him, A

168
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:19.759
guy quickly got out of his seat and wrapped his

169
00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:23.600
arms around her, hugging her close to keep her from

170
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:29.080
Principal van Deist. Just stop, the guy said, calmly in

171
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:29.480
her ear.

172
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:31.360
Let me go.

173
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:35.840
Ronnie yelled, you want to go to prison, The guy

174
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:40.159
asked her, still quite calm. Is he really worth it?

175
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:44.679
The guy continued to hold Ronnie close until he felt

176
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:49.480
her heaving slow and finally stop. He stepped back and

177
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:52.679
looked her in the face. She looked back at him.

178
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:56.720
When he saw he had diffused her, he stepped aside

179
00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:59.720
and let her walk to the seat Principal Van Deist

180
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:04.039
had reserved just for her. Before she sat down, she

181
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.320
pointed right at Van dest don't be staring at my

182
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:12.279
fucking tits. When Ronnie sat, she glared at the principle

183
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.799
as she folded her arms in front of her, pushing

184
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:20.440
up her already evident breasts. More thank you, Derek, Principal

185
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.240
Van Deste said to the guy who stopped Ronnie from

186
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:26.759
attacking him. Ronnie looked around and saw some of the

187
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.039
people she would be in room twelve with for thirty

188
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:35.519
summer school days, fifteen for government, fifteen for economics, with

189
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:40.679
July fourth being on a Saturday. Unfortunately for her, she

190
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:43.519
needed to pass both classes if she wanted to both

191
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.399
graduate Strickfield High and not go straight to prison. It

192
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:51.960
was no secret to some students that Ronnie Brunswick was

193
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.039
a girl who came up hard. She lived on her

194
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:58.759
own in an apartment at Strickfield Cove. The very same

195
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.000
apartment Laura Lee already live by. By this time, Laura

196
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:06.559
Lee Hardy came to be known as the prom Queen

197
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:09.720
Killer and the creator of the event that would be

198
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:16.080
forever known around Strickfield as the Prom from Hell. Ronnie

199
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:19.240
couldn't wait to move into the apartment upon hearing this,

200
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:24.399
especially since the landlord offered her discounted rent and free

201
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:30.919
utilities just to fill that particular seemingly unfillable vacancy. Some

202
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.720
students actually believed that Laura Lee Hardy was possessing Ronnie,

203
00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:40.919
which made her laugh. Ronnie was also a drug dealer

204
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:44.840
and a self employed prostitute. She certainly dressed the part

205
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:48.720
with her haltertop that barely contained her breasts, her denim

206
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:54.240
booty shorts, and her stiletto heels. She wore dark eyeshadow, blush,

207
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.639
lip gloss, and nail polish. Her dyed mix of silver

208
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.159
and black hair certainly added to her sex appeal. Ronnie

209
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.879
definitely had no problem finding clients willing to pay her rates.

210
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:12.039
It was at a campus fraternity party where Detective Drake

211
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:16.159
Casmarak had arrested her for prostitution while going under cover

212
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:22.120
at Strickfield University. This wasn't Ronnie's first meeting with Detective Casmarak.

213
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.519
Ronnie had been arrested for vandalizing Principal Van Diast's house

214
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:31.200
when she spray painted choice words in artistic graffiti fashion

215
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:36.279
on the front of his house and garage. Detective Cosmarak

216
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:38.799
had been on his way back to the station after

217
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:42.639
wrapping up a case and had seen Ronnie finishing her artwork.

218
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.279
Ronnie was a miner at the time and was sent

219
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.720
to the Pendleton Juvenile Detention Center. Now Ronnie was an

220
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:55.720
adult when Detective Cosmarak caught her prostituting herself at Strickfield University.

221
00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:00.879
He learned that Ronnie was academically smart, even though she

222
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.039
was a troublemaker. She started off high school on the

223
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:06.200
right path and was smart enough to be able to

224
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:10.360
skip sophomore year. After that, she seemed to make a

225
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:14.600
complete one eighty. Not only did Ronie get worse, she

226
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.159
was on the verge of not graduating and prison. Now

227
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:23.600
after talking to and listening to Detective Cosmarak, the judge

228
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:27.000
decided not to send Ronnie to prison and offered her

229
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:31.639
an alternative sentence. She would go to summer school and

230
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:35.759
pass the two classes she needed for graduation, pay for

231
00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:40.440
the damages to Principal Van Deist's property, and perform community service.

232
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:44.639
Failure to adhere to any of those conditions would result

233
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.559
in her losing her probation and going straight to the

234
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:54.360
glen View Correctional facility outside of North Ridgeway. Now Here,

235
00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.360
she was right in front of the man she hated.

236
00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:01.480
Sure she would pass his class asses, but she was

237
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:05.960
definitely going to have some fun with him along the way. Also,

238
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.640
she had business with some of the students in that

239
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:14.160
very class room. Ronnie immediately saw Primrose Miron and laughed

240
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:17.000
inside at the thought of the rich girl being an airhead.

241
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:22.319
She knew Primrose never opened a text book, not once. No,

242
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:25.599
she was too busy on her smartphone and getting popular

243
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.799
on social media, which got her sent to Principal Van

244
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:33.920
Deast's office several times. She could dress like a proper princess,

245
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:37.839
but what good was it if you didn't have booksmarts.

246
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:42.880
And then there was Samuel Wormton, the worm to most everybody,

247
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:45.839
no doubt he was there to get the credits so

248
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.599
he could graduate early. Ronnie knew he had made good

249
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:53.359
money off many students by writing papers and doing homework

250
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:57.559
assignments for them. How many times had Ronnie seen Primrose

251
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:01.960
Miron giving him money. Ronnie also knew the two of

252
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:07.160
them liked each other. She knew Randy Ullery, but who didn't.

253
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.400
He was one of the most popular students at Strickfield High.

254
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.119
She kind of felt sorry for him about what had

255
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:18.799
happened with Lillian Johanson. Sure, Randy and Ronnie had butted

256
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:22.319
heads on occasion, but even she felt that Lillian didn't

257
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:25.680
deserve what had happened to her at the prom from Hell.

258
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:29.680
When it came to Randy, it seemed he was finally

259
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:34.640
moving on from Lillian and was now seeing her older sister, Cameron.

260
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:39.920
Ronnie knew Cameron from Pendleton. In fact, the two of

261
00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:43.799
them were roommates. Ronnie and Cameron fought quite a bit,

262
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:48.279
which got them in trouble several times. Cameron earned Ronnie's

263
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:51.000
respect when she had a chance to rat her roommate

264
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:54.799
out for smoking pots she had stashed away. Cameron lied

265
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.759
and said she never saw Ronnie smoking anything. Ronnie got

266
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:02.000
away with it. The two girls started getting along better

267
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:06.480
after that. They even started watching each other's backs at Pendleton.

268
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.960
For now, Cameron was okay in Ronnie's book. Now, Ronnie

269
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:15.839
gazed upon Derek Masters, the guy who had just saved

270
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:19.640
her from possibly going to prison for murder. One, she

271
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:23.680
felt her heart skipping beats. Now, for one thing, he

272
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:29.799
had a great smell. Two, what a physique. Three, he

273
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.599
wasn't afraid to touch her, and his voice just the

274
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:37.440
way it cut through her rage. Maybe it was more

275
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:40.039
than just a crush. When he looked her way and

276
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:44.440
smiled a little, she quickly faced front and felt her

277
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:49.119
heart skipping even more beats. Maybe summer school wasn't going

278
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:55.400
to be so bad after all. When Principal Van dest

279
00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:58.839
gave everyone a break at the first hour, Ronnie planned

280
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:02.680
on going outside smoke a cigarette. As she reached the

281
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:06.079
main doors, she saw some students from her class and

282
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:09.400
one from a different class gathered around in the library.

283
00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:14.000
Curiosity got the better of Ronnie, and all eyes went

284
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:18.359
right to her as she entered. Like what you see,

285
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.519
she snapped, pushing up on her breasts, just looking at

286
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:26.640
a yearbook left here. Regal Fairlane, the preppy girl who

287
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.480
wasn't in her class, told her Ronnie knew Regal was

288
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:34.200
a member of the National Honor Society. She wasn't looking

289
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:38.319
to graduate early. However, she was taking driver's education with

290
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:42.200
mister Austin Zachary. She just never had the time when

291
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:44.680
she should have taken it. At sixteen, with all the

292
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:48.920
coursework she was doing, she was finally learning to drive now.

293
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:52.680
Ronnie herself knew a few things about Regal that the

294
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:57.200
other students didn't. Things Regal could get into serious trouble

295
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:02.480
for Ronnie had her reasons for keeping quiet about her. However,

296
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.680
Ronnie also recognized Bill Baxter, a guy who couldn't care

297
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.039
less about keeping his grades up, which was why his

298
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:16.000
parents enrolled him in summer school again. Bill was a

299
00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:19.720
senior who failed both government and economics during the regular

300
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:23.160
school year and had to take and pass Principal Van

301
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:28.440
Deas's classes if he wanted to graduate. Also, Randy Ullery

302
00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:33.160
and his girlfriend Cameron Johansson were among them. Randy was

303
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.240
obviously taking Van Deiast's classes to not have to take

304
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:40.440
them senior year. Ronnie humored herself and looked at the

305
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:44.039
yearbook with the others. Ronnie knew she had her own

306
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:49.000
popularity compared to the jocks, preps and others in the yearbooks,

307
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:53.440
thanks to her looks and her gorgeous body. She also

308
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:56.640
had connections and planned on following up on some of

309
00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:59.799
them once she got out from under Principal Van Deist's

310
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:04.279
iron glare. It wasn't long before the pages for the

311
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:08.359
prom were revealed. The first two pages showed all of

312
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:13.440
the candidates from both the junior and senior classes that

313
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:17.440
were taken after Van dist had announced them. Ronnie was

314
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:21.200
laughing when she saw someone had written prom from Hell

315
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:28.000
across both pages. Also, prom Queen Killer was written with

316
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:31.839
arrows pointing to Laura Lee Hardy in both her solo

317
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:39.759
and group pictures. Something funny, Randy demanded. Ronnie smirked, Yeah,

318
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:43.640
it's funny what these fucking stupid ass girls will do

319
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:48.480
for plastic crowns, even kill each other for him. Randy

320
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:52.039
was more upset. Now you think this is all funny?

321
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:56.119
He pointed to the picture of Lily and Johanson. She

322
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.640
was my girlfriend. Ronnie laughed again and pointed to Cameron,

323
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:05.680
and now you're fucking her. Wow, talk about keeping it

324
00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:08.640
in the family. Imagine what Lillian will say when she

325
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:12.079
finds you two together. Or didn't you read in the

326
00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:16.119
Strickfield Journal. Her body disappeared from the hospital Morgue after

327
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:19.960
it was brought there. Cameron Johansson pointed right at her.

328
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:25.160
You just stop or I'll kick your fucking ass again,

329
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:32.200
just like back in Pendleton roomy. Ronnie rolled her eyes. Bitch, please,

330
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:36.079
I beat your ass just as many times. She looked

331
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:39.480
at Randy. Did you new girlfriend here? Tell you how

332
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:43.920
many times we kept each other warm at night in Pendleton.

333
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:48.319
When Randy suddenly went for Ronnie, she raised her fists.

334
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:51.920
Even though she felt sorry for Randy losing Lilian the

335
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:56.160
way he did, she wasn't above fighting him. The others

336
00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:59.640
quickly got in between them. That was when Ronnie suddenly

337
00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:03.880
felt arms wrapping around her for the second time that morning.

338
00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:09.039
She turned around to see Derek Masters the moment their

339
00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:13.319
eyes met and she smelled his scent again. Ronnie was

340
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:18.039
diffused for the second time. Her heart started fluttering again.

341
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:22.400
You don't want to get in trouble again, he told

342
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:26.039
her softly. Derek took her hand and walked her out

343
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.880
of the library. But I do, she said weakly. She

344
00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:36.160
was powerless to fight Derek and let him take her outside.

345
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:39.839
Derek watched her light up a cigarette and smirked, sensing

346
00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:43.119
he liked her. Ronnie gave him a warm smile that

347
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:45.920
told him she'd like to get to know him better.

348
00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:53.400
Two week one Monday night. It was the first night

349
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:57.519
of the Feldner County Fair, one of two county fairs

350
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:02.119
in Strickfield. The count fair commenced the week after the

351
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:06.160
school year was over, with the Strickfield County Fair taking

352
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:10.799
place the week before the school year began. Many people

353
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:16.359
were enjoying the festivities and eating fair food. Regal Fairlane

354
00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:19.400
walked around the fair until she slipped into the empty

355
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:24.240
stadium and went underneath the bleachers. When she saw her

356
00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:30.359
summer school teacher, she smiled brightly as he approached. Regal

357
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:35.319
and Austin Zachary held each other tight as they kissed passionately.

358
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:38.920
Regal had been in love with Austin since she first

359
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:43.480
took classes with him during the regular school year. It

360
00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:47.480
was on her eighteenth birthday that Austin kept Regal after

361
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:53.640
school and surprised her by kissing her from there. He

362
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:56.759
had secretly taken Regal to his house, where they slept

363
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:03.200
together and began there heated forbidden love affair. I love you, Regal,

364
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:11.240
Austin said after they finished kissing. I I love you

365
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:16.880
she breathed. Then he took her hand. Let's ride through

366
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:21.920
the haunted House together. Regal nodded quickly. Then they made

367
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:25.319
their way to the attraction's ticket booth, where Austin paid

368
00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:29.279
the admission. They got into their waiting car and were

369
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:34.640
soon moving along. Regal and Austin kissed hungrily as they

370
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:39.839
slowly moved through the spooky scenes. After Austin whispered in

371
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:44.519
her ear, the two of them left the car shortly after.

372
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.119
Austin took Regal inside one of the pieces of scenery.

373
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:53.319
The spooky music and sounds concealed their loud moans as

374
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:58.200
they undressed each other and continued their forbidden passion until

375
00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:02.720
the ride was finally shut down, telling them that the

376
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:07.039
fair was closing. They got dressed and left the Haunted

377
00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:11.400
House without being caught. It was quite windy and cloudy.

378
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:14.559
They weren't sure if it was going to rain or not,

379
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:18.559
but Austin draped an arm around Regel and held her

380
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:27.640
to him. Then they heard menacing horrible laughter. What was that,

381
00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:34.519
Regel wondered, I don't know. Austin replied, sounds.

382
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:34.839
Like a girl.

383
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:41.960
Regal gasped. Look Austin also gasped. When he saw what

384
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:46.839
Regal had seen. It was a glowing, ghostly girl clad

385
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:51.680
in what appeared to be a prom dress.

386
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:52.599
Is that.

387
00:27:54.200 --> 00:28:01.640
Lillian Johanson? Regal choked. Can't be Austin count She's dead?

388
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:08.160
The prom queen killer got her? Yes, Laura Lee Hardy indeed,

389
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:14.559
claimed me, mister Zachary, the ghostly girl said. Then she

390
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:18.599
pointed to him, and you two were safe and snug

391
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:25.640
far away when I was being murdered. Lilian looked very angry.

392
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:30.519
Now don't you know teachers aren't supposed to have relationships

393
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:36.200
with students. Regal stammered, What does what does that have

394
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:40.200
to do with you? You were living most sinfully while

395
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:45.480
so many people died on prom night? Lilian snapped, and

396
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:50.880
now you are mine. When Lilian let out an ear

397
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:54.880
piercing scream, Regal and Austin let out their own scream

398
00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:59.000
and went back into the haunted house. They both went

399
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:03.039
in opposite directly on impulse, Regel ran through the ride

400
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:06.240
in reverse. She hid and looked to see if Lilian

401
00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:10.240
was still chasing her. She had already moved through several

402
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:15.440
scenes without seeing her. Several minutes later, the attraction came

403
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:21.079
to life, making Regal scream. Then she looked up to

404
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:26.680
the hangman's gallows and screamed even more when she saw

405
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:31.440
Austen's slain form hung on the noose as the animatronic

406
00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:38.720
hangman laughed, It's horrible, evil laughter. Regal turned and ran

407
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:43.200
until she escaped the ride, only to run into Lilian's

408
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:49.799
ghost again. Mister Zachary belongs to me now, she pointed

409
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:54.720
at Regal. Live your last sinful moments while you still can.

410
00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:01.720
I'll be coming for you soon. Regal's eyes rolled up

411
00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:10.799
in her head as she fainted in front of the ghost.

412
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:20.000
First week Tuesday, Regal Fairlane couldn't sleep the night before.

413
00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:24.400
After finding mister Zachary's body, she made an anonymous phone

414
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:29.440
call to the police. From there, she hid and waited.

415
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:34.720
After the police searched the closed Haunted House attraction, Regals

416
00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:38.960
saw they hadn't found Austin's body, But how could that be?

417
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:43.559
It was right in the open where anyone going through

418
00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:48.440
the attraction could have easily seen it. After the police

419
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.160
had left, Regl snuck back into the Haunted House and

420
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.599
went to the scene with the hangman's gallows. She was

421
00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:01.240
completely beside herself when she didn't see the boy. There

422
00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:06.119
wasn't even any sign of blood. When she heard noises,

423
00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:10.599
she quickly made her escape and went straight home. She

424
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:14.359
was still replaying the previous night's events again and again

425
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:17.680
in her mind as she walked into Strickfield High School.

426
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.039
She walked to Room twenty three and saw the other

427
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:28.000
students waiting. Naturally, Austin never appeared. It wasn't long before

428
00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:31.079
Principal Van Deist came into the classroom to report that

429
00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:36.839
mister Zachary had called in and quit. Since summer school

430
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:40.279
had just started, the principal gave Regel the option of

431
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:45.160
transferring to another class. She chose to join room twelve

432
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:49.960
with him. At the break, Regal walked into the library

433
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:53.000
and found the same people from the day before, looking

434
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:58.559
at the yearbook. Then she approached Randy Ullery and Cameron Johansson.

435
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:05.079
Did you see Lilian, Regal shakingly asked Cameron. Cameron looked

436
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:07.160
at her as if she had lost her mind.

437
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:09.920
Excuse me what?

438
00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:15.279
Regal explained seeing Lillian's ghost at the Feldner County Fair

439
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:20.039
the night before. She didn't mention seeing mister Zachary or

440
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:25.960
his death. Cameron immediately lashed out and shoved Regal to

441
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:30.599
the floor. Cameron pointed down at her. Lilian is dead,

442
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:34.799
you dumb bitch. What's going on in here? A voice

443
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:38.519
called out. Everybody looked to see Principal Matthew Van Deast

444
00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:42.039
walking in. He extended his hand and helped Regal to

445
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:45.440
her feet. The principal, who was also teaching the summer

446
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:51.200
sessions of Government and Economics, looked right at them. Fuck off, asshole,

447
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:55.640
Ronnie Brunswick told him. Van Diaz didn't even look at

448
00:32:55.640 --> 00:32:59.720
her as he pointed her way, can it Ronda? Then

449
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:03.759
he looked at Cameron and Regal. Now what's going on?

450
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:08.319
The principal listened as the two girls explained their sides.

451
00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:13.279
When they finished, he just sighed, it's really too early

452
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:17.039
in the term for this. I'll forget this confrontation happened

453
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:21.599
this time. Next time, you're both out of summer school

454
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:26.759
and each get an f understand. When both girls nodded quickly,

455
00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:35.759
Van Diast pointed to the door. Back to class. Second week,

456
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:40.079
when Principal Van Deist gave the class a break, Ronnie

457
00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:44.200
Brunswick went outside and lit up a cigarette. She continued

458
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:49.079
to think about Derek Masters. She couldn't understand why a plain,

459
00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:53.279
ordinary kind of guy was interested in a hood like her.

460
00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:57.559
He had talked to her every day at break. He'd

461
00:33:57.599 --> 00:34:00.119
even taken her home to Strickfield Cove at the end

462
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:03.680
of class. Derek would soon be outside to talk to

463
00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:07.759
her again. At this point, she decided she would definitely

464
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:12.480
go out with him if he asked her. Instead of

465
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:15.920
Derek coming to meet her, it was Principal Van Deist,

466
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:20.079
Rhonda Brunswick. How many times have I told you? How

467
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:26.440
many times smoking is not allowed on school property? Ronnie

468
00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:29.599
didn't look at him, and how many times I gotta

469
00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:33.760
tell you fuck off, I'll fucking smoke if I wanna.

470
00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:37.639
Van Deist grabbed her and turned her to face him.

471
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:41.880
That was when Ronnie thrusted her switchblade almost to where

472
00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:47.039
the tip would touch Van Deiste's throat, making him release her.

473
00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:50.400
Don't you ever put your motherfucking hands on me, you

474
00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:55.400
son of a bitch, Ronnie hissed. Then she smiled, Oh,

475
00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:58.320
you want to expel me and send me to prison,

476
00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:02.159
do it? Fucking expel me, give me a reason to

477
00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:06.480
finally kill your ass. She was shaking with rage. I

478
00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:11.360
fucking hate you, Principal Van Deist slowly.

479
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:12.000
Shook his head.

480
00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:15.679
Hate me all you want, Ronda, or did you forget

481
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:19.519
you were caught in a rather compromising position with Bill

482
00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:24.719
Baxter in the locker room shower on school property. You

483
00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:28.880
both knew better. Ronnie clinched her teeth hard as she

484
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:35.239
raised the switchblade, but Ronnie suddenly felt gentle arms wrapping

485
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:41.199
around her from behind. Then Dereck Masters said softly in

486
00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:45.559
her ear. Don't you're gonna regret it for the rest

487
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:50.760
of your life. He ain't worth it. Let me go, Derek,

488
00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:55.639
she choked out. Principal Van Deast quickly snatched Ronnie's wrist

489
00:35:55.920 --> 00:35:59.760
and took her switchblade. I'm not expelling you, Ronda.

490
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:00.599
You need to.

491
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:03.320
Understand there are better ways to get ahead in life

492
00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:09.519
than selling drugs or your body, Ronnie laughed. You think

493
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:12.480
finding me and Bill fucking in the school shower is

494
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:15.920
why I'm pissed at you. It's the way you look

495
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:20.639
at me, always undressing me with your eyes. When Derek

496
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:24.599
let go of her, Ronnie moved to Van Deast. You

497
00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:27.599
saw me wet and naked that day. You're supposed to

498
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:30.320
be the principal here, not a fucking pervert. Wait, I'm

499
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:34.800
seeing it. You can see me naked. Then I'm doing

500
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:38.800
what I fucking want, So fucking expel me. You know

501
00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:42.000
you wanna, Van DEAs shook his head.

502
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:43.000
Nope.

503
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:46.280
If you want to leave, I'm not stopping you, but

504
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:49.960
you'll be on your way to prison. Remember your probation, Ronda,

505
00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:54.599
face it. You're going to stay right here and finish

506
00:36:54.639 --> 00:37:00.639
my classes with passing grades. Then and only then you

507
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:05.719
can go. Ronnie screamed with rage. Then she turned and

508
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:10.639
ran off. Derek just looked her way but didn't give chase.

509
00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:16.800
Principal Van Deist sighed, Please go find her, Derek, bring

510
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:22.599
her back to class, Yes, sir, he replied. Ronnie tried

511
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:25.079
to go into the gymnasium, but every door.

512
00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:26.039
To it was locked.

513
00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:30.719
After learning Miss Decker, the drama instructor, had the gymnasium

514
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:34.920
reserved for some secret event, Principal Van Deist approved. Ronnie

515
00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:38.960
descended the basement stairs and went into a back room.

516
00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:42.000
She pulled a compact out of her denim booty shorts

517
00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:47.119
and opened it. She removed a razor blade, a mini straw,

518
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:52.199
and a vial of cocaine. After making two lines with

519
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:55.000
the razor blade on the mirror, she did them both

520
00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:59.519
using the straw. Ronnie felt ashamed that Derek had learned

521
00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:03.199
about how she got busted with Bill Baxter. It was

522
00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:06.360
in the boy's locker room an hour after school. Van

523
00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:09.480
dest had gone in to talk to Coach Brackett. Not

524
00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:12.719
seeing him in his office, Van Deiste heard the showers

525
00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:17.800
going in some strange noises. Knowing there were no sports

526
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:21.639
practices that day, he crept back and found Bill pounding

527
00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:26.159
Ronnie in a quite revealing sexual position. Van Deist knew

528
00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:30.480
that Bill had paid her for sex, but couldn't prove it. Also,

529
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:34.119
the principal had seen Ronnie dripping wet and in all

530
00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:38.519
of her naked glory. That was just before prom night.

531
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:43.119
Ronnie really wanted to kill Principal Van Dest in the

532
00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:48.599
worst way. As she contemplated doing two more lines of cocaine,

533
00:38:48.639 --> 00:38:53.719
she heard some strange noises. She got angry and put

534
00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:57.079
her compact away. Then she came out and saw the

535
00:38:57.119 --> 00:39:02.639
male shape get fucked Van Des. Ronnie rushed at him

536
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:05.960
with her fist cocked, ready to lay him out. Then

537
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:09.320
she leaped at her target, only to gasp and quickly

538
00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:14.000
pull her fist back. Dereck Masters easily caught Ronnie and

539
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:18.719
gently lowered her back to her feet. Diffused by Dereck

540
00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:24.599
yet again, Ronnie shamefully turned her head away. I'm sorry

541
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:29.920
you heard what Van Deist said. No judgments, he replied softly.

542
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:35.199
Ronnie gazed at him. Why are you so fucking sweet

543
00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:39.280
to me? She stepped back and pointed up. You can

544
00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:42.400
have any of them cuts upstairs. What makes me so

545
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:47.360
fucking special? In the dim light, she saw Dereck smile

546
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:51.559
a little. Then Ronnie shook her head quickly as he

547
00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:55.719
gently backed her into a corner. Her heart felt ready

548
00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:59.400
to explode in her chest as she smelled his intoxicating scent.

549
00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:04.599
Then she gasped as Derek pressed his lips to hers

550
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:11.719
and finally kissed her. Ronnie moaned and kissed him back. Oh,

551
00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:15.440
how she wanted and waited for this moment. Derek and

552
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:18.360
Ronnie held each other as they made out for several minutes.

553
00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:23.440
Deep down, Dereck knew that Ronnie was trouble, but from

554
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:26.360
the first moment he had seen her, he had lost

555
00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:29.960
his heart and vowed to win her. Maybe knowing that

556
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:32.800
Ronnie was a tortured soul was what had drawn him

557
00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:36.199
to her. It didn't matter to him what Ronnie was

558
00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:39.679
or what she had done. He cared deeply about her

559
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:44.599
and wanted to save her, even if from herself. When

560
00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:48.400
they finished kissing, he caressed her cheek. Then he kissed

561
00:40:48.440 --> 00:40:52.679
her again, a longer one. This time he felt Ronnie

562
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:55.599
shaking in his arms as she kissed him back with

563
00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:59.559
the same fire he had kissed her. When they finished

564
00:40:59.559 --> 00:41:03.679
this kiss, Ronnie was completely under his spell as he

565
00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:08.199
took her hand and walked her back upstairs. Soon they

566
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:12.119
were walking back into Van Deast's class. Ronnie was high,

567
00:41:12.159 --> 00:41:17.320
both from the cocaine and her elevated emotions, but still coherent.

568
00:41:18.320 --> 00:41:21.800
Ronnie caught Regal looking at them the fuck you looking

569
00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:26.320
at preppy, Principal Van Deist pointed sharply at her. You

570
00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:30.719
will stop with the profanity, Ronda, and starting tomorrow, put

571
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:34.800
some clothes on before you come to school. Two things,

572
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:39.480
Ronnie raised her index finger. One what I'm wearing ain't

573
00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:43.480
against school code. And two she turned her hand and

574
00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:48.519
raised her middle finger. Fuck you, she smirked. And we

575
00:41:48.639 --> 00:41:53.280
both know you don't want me over dressing. Right with that,

576
00:41:53.920 --> 00:41:58.079
Ronnie and Derek took their seats. Principal Van Deste resumed

577
00:41:58.119 --> 00:42:09.639
his class. Week three, Thursday, Ronnie was again frustrated with

578
00:42:09.719 --> 00:42:13.760
Principal Van Deste after busting her for smoking on school

579
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:17.880
property again, he decided to make an example of her

580
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:22.559
by calling on just her for the rest of the class. Eventually,

581
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:26.880
this caused yet another heated confrontation between them. When she

582
00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:31.599
climbed over her desk and attacked him. Van Deste still

583
00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:35.920
wouldn't expel her. Ronnie wondered if he truly enjoyed looking

584
00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:39.920
at her luscious body that much or just wanted to

585
00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:43.480
put her in her place now. She just wanted to

586
00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:48.800
lose herself somewhere and enjoy some cocaine. As she passed

587
00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:53.360
the library, she saw Primrose Miron and Samuel Wormton talking

588
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:56.320
to each other as they looked at the yearbook like

589
00:42:56.360 --> 00:42:59.719
they were lovers. If there was one thing Ronnie and

590
00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:04.039
enjoy even more than cocaine, it was all the dirt

591
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:09.280
she found on certain people. She appreciated how the worms

592
00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:12.400
sold homework assignments to people who could afford his prices,

593
00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:17.039
especially the reports. He sold a's the same way she

594
00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:20.760
sold quality drugs. She knew he did the assignments in

595
00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:24.760
his client's style of handwriting. This way, they weren't easily

596
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:29.280
traceable back to him. Also, nobody ever ratted him out.

597
00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:34.159
Primrose Mirn was certainly a piece of work, always acting

598
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:38.199
so nicey nice to people. The truth was she was

599
00:43:38.239 --> 00:43:42.039
as exploitative as any other Miran. This was simply her

600
00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:46.480
way of doing it. Ronnie hated rich people like the Mirans,

601
00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:51.159
especially Primrose. She had no problem flaunting her family's money

602
00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:54.519
to get whatever she wanted. In life, Ronnie had to

603
00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:57.760
fight and do many questionable things just to be able

604
00:43:57.800 --> 00:44:01.880
to live. She was making good money herself with selling

605
00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:06.199
premium drugs and even her body, but seeing Primrose showing

606
00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:09.480
her cleavage and being all flirty with the worm was

607
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:13.440
just making her sick. She was even angrier with Primrose

608
00:44:13.679 --> 00:44:17.559
than she was with Principal Van dest As. Ronnie was

609
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:21.280
about to march in and confront Primrose, she was stopped

610
00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:25.000
by another student in her class, Bill Baxter, was one

611
00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:29.039
of her regulars who paid her for both drugs and sex.

612
00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:35.599
What Ronnie whispered, you got them, he whispered back, She

613
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:40.800
sighed out back. Bill followed her around the library, through

614
00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:44.159
the empty girl's locker room and out the back doors.

615
00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:48.079
They went underneath the visitor's bleachers at the stadium, where

616
00:44:48.119 --> 00:44:51.599
no one would likely find them. She produced a pharmacy

617
00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:56.159
container and shook it, same number of pills, same price,

618
00:44:56.679 --> 00:44:59.960
she said. Bill paid the cash for the high quality

619
00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:04.079
the uppers. Of course, Ronnie counted the money before handing

620
00:45:04.119 --> 00:45:08.320
over the merchandise to her. Bill was too dumb to

621
00:45:08.360 --> 00:45:11.039
make sure all the pills were in the container, not

622
00:45:11.239 --> 00:45:14.639
that she ever shorted a client. A deal was a deal.

623
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:18.440
Ronnie knew Bill was a loser, but as long as

624
00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:21.840
he had the cash for her goods and services. Bill

625
00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:24.840
showed Ronnie some more cash as he looked over her

626
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:29.719
ravishing body. How much for a quick fuck? Ronnie almost

627
00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:33.360
took the money, but she quickly reconsidered get the fuck

628
00:45:33.400 --> 00:45:36.239
out of here. I ain't selling no more sugar, especially

629
00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:40.760
after getting caught by Van dest You said nobody'd find us, boy,

630
00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:45.000
I was fucking stupid listening to your dumbass. Bill growled

631
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:49.079
and put his hands on her shoulders. I said, I

632
00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:53.599
want to fuck you? How much? Then he tried grabbing

633
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:57.119
her tight fitting T shirt, but Bill was suddenly met

634
00:45:57.159 --> 00:46:01.320
with a switchblade under his chin. Your mother fucking hands

635
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:03.519
off me, or you ain't ever gonna have to worry

636
00:46:03.559 --> 00:46:08.320
about paying for Leyan ever again. As Bill stepped slowly back,

637
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:12.400
Ronnie glared at him. I said, I ain't selling no

638
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:17.400
more fucking sugar. This candy store's out of business. Now,

639
00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:22.159
fuck off, stop right there. A familiar voice called out.

640
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:26.760
When Principal Van Deist saw Bill and Ronnie together, he muttered,

641
00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:30.800
you two again. Randy Ullery was with the principal and

642
00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:35.760
pointed right at Ronnie. She sold Bill some drugs, did you?

643
00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:40.519
Ronda Van DEAs demanded, and give me that goddamn switchblade.

644
00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:41.079
Now.

645
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:46.599
Ronnie was really angry. Fuck off Van Deist. I swear

646
00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:50.199
I'll shove this blade straight up your fucking ass. But

647
00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:53.760
Ronnie hadn't expected Principal Van Deast's own rage towards her.

648
00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:57.360
He suddenly grabbed her and made her drop the knife.

649
00:46:57.960 --> 00:47:01.480
Ronnie roared and elbowed him. When she went for her switchblade,

650
00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:05.719
Randy tackled her. Bill quickly escaped. Ronnie got out from

651
00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:08.519
underneath Randy to get to her feet and reclaim her weapon.

652
00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:11.920
She turned to Randy and swung the switchblade to make

653
00:47:11.960 --> 00:47:15.880
him back up. You're on my shit list, you fucking snitch.

654
00:47:16.519 --> 00:47:19.360
I wish to god i'd killed your goddamn liian myself.

655
00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:23.320
Randy screamed and pushed right at her. He tackled her

656
00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:26.360
again and held her down as Van Deist relieved Ronnie

657
00:47:26.400 --> 00:47:31.440
of her switchblade. Vandiist, you motherfucker, Ronnie screamed, I fuck it,

658
00:47:31.519 --> 00:47:34.519
hate Jo, and I'm sick of hearing about you selling

659
00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:39.039
drugs at my school. Van Deist shouted back, I'm going

660
00:47:39.079 --> 00:47:42.239
to search you now, Ronda, I find any drugs. You

661
00:47:42.320 --> 00:47:45.840
are done here hold her down. Randy sit on her,

662
00:47:46.760 --> 00:47:49.440
but Ronnie was too wily and again wiggled out from

663
00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:53.239
underneath Randy. She got up and ran away from there.

664
00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:58.280
Principal van dest and Randy gave chase, However, Ronnie managed

665
00:47:58.280 --> 00:48:02.480
to hide and lose both of them. Ronnie was still angry

666
00:48:02.559 --> 00:48:05.599
at Bill. This is the second time you got me

667
00:48:05.679 --> 00:48:10.440
in trouble, Baxter. I'm gonna fucking kill your ass. And

668
00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:16.159
then Ronnie stormed off to find Bill. Bill was down

669
00:48:16.199 --> 00:48:19.079
in the basement. He was angry at having Principal van

670
00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:22.559
Deste catch him and Ronnie a second time. He was

671
00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:26.239
even angrier at Ronnie for not selling him her deliciously

672
00:48:26.320 --> 00:48:27.079
sweet body.

673
00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:27.559
Again.

674
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:31.119
He certainly wasn't a looker, and he was a good

675
00:48:31.199 --> 00:48:35.440
fifty plus pounds overweight, but having sex with Ronnie still counted,

676
00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:40.119
even if he paid her for it. Bitch, he yelled.

677
00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:43.280
He hated having to flush the pills he had just

678
00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:47.199
bought off Ronnie down a restroom toilet. However, he managed

679
00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:50.119
to hold on to two of them. He quickly popped

680
00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:52.280
them into his mouth and drained the bottle of coke

681
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:55.320
he grabbed out of the vending machine. He would return

682
00:48:55.400 --> 00:48:59.719
to class once he felt the uppers kicking in. Suddenly

683
00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:07.639
everything went dark, shit, Bill muttered. The lights seemingly came

684
00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:12.519
back on. Then Bill turned to the stairway and saw

685
00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:18.960
the glowing form of Lilian Johansson blocking the way. You

686
00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:23.719
always were such a loser, Bill, the ghost said, you

687
00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:28.559
came to the prom and caused trouble, even spiking the punch.

688
00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:33.000
What's ironic is that Laura Lee Hardy never came anywhere

689
00:49:33.039 --> 00:49:38.880
near you, yet I ended up losing my life. That's

690
00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:44.280
not exactly fair, is it. Lilian produced a knife. Let's

691
00:49:44.320 --> 00:49:48.800
rectify that right here, and now get away from me,

692
00:49:49.480 --> 00:49:53.119
Bill wailed. As he turned and ran. Bill found himself

693
00:49:53.159 --> 00:49:58.159
cornered very quickly. Lilian Johansson was soon on him. Bill

694
00:49:58.280 --> 00:50:02.440
was petrified and screamed as Lilian ran the knife across

695
00:50:02.440 --> 00:50:06.400
his throat. Then she stabbed him in the stomach, the

696
00:50:06.559 --> 00:50:10.719
very same way Laura Lee Hardy had stabbed her on

697
00:50:10.880 --> 00:50:14.800
prom night. The last thing Bill saw as he sunk

698
00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:22.199
to the floor and into everlasting darkness was Lilian laughing scornfully.

699
00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:31.519
Week four, Wednesday, Ronnie had passed government and was now

700
00:50:31.559 --> 00:50:35.760
midway through the first week of economics. Ronnie and Derek

701
00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:40.360
left class together holding hands. Dereck had finally asked her

702
00:50:40.360 --> 00:50:43.639
out on a date. She was already planning to invite

703
00:50:43.719 --> 00:50:46.280
him into her apartment at Strickfield Cove when the date

704
00:50:46.400 --> 00:50:49.400
was over, and let him ravage her as much as

705
00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:54.239
he wanted. As for Bill Baxter, he never returned to

706
00:50:54.360 --> 00:50:57.480
class after Principal van Dest was late to their drug

707
00:50:57.519 --> 00:51:01.920
transaction off the football field. As a result, Principal van

708
00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:06.639
Dest flunked him. Not that Ronnie cared, since the principal

709
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:10.000
found no evidence of drugs on her. After he'd finally

710
00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:13.400
caught her and pulled her into his office. As Ronnie

711
00:51:13.400 --> 00:51:17.440
and Derek passed the gymnasium doors, she decided he could

712
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:21.559
have her right now and turned into Derek and kissed him.

713
00:51:21.920 --> 00:51:24.119
She backed him up into the wall, where they kissed

714
00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:29.440
hungrily and passionately. When they stopped, she produced the keys

715
00:51:29.519 --> 00:51:34.239
she had swiped from the locked gymnasium. Huana, she purred.

716
00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:38.960
Derek answered her by kissing her again. When they finished,

717
00:51:39.280 --> 00:51:42.039
she unlocked one of the doors and started to open it.

718
00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:47.079
Stop a voice called out. They turned to see Devin

719
00:51:47.119 --> 00:51:50.880
Decker approaching them. The gymnasium is currently off limits and

720
00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:53.880
is closed until the end of summer school. I'll take

721
00:51:53.960 --> 00:51:57.559
those keys. What are you gonna do? Give us attention,

722
00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:02.000
Ronnie retorted, handing the key. He's tour like you said,

723
00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:06.079
it's summer school. But Derek would prove again to be

724
00:52:06.159 --> 00:52:09.239
the voice of reason. It's okay, Ronnie, Let's just go

725
00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:13.599
to Denoyer's grill. When Derek took Ronnie's hand and interlaced

726
00:52:13.599 --> 00:52:19.280
his fingers with hers, she sighed, okay, baby, let's eat.

727
00:52:19.440 --> 00:52:23.079
But something wasn't sitting right with Ronnie. She turned back

728
00:52:23.119 --> 00:52:27.400
to mis Decker. What are you doing here anyway? You

729
00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:31.079
ain't teaching no summer school classes, if you must know,

730
00:52:31.239 --> 00:52:34.559
I'm working on a very special project in the gymnasium.

731
00:52:35.039 --> 00:52:40.039
Devin answered, relocking the door. Principal Van Diast knows as

732
00:52:40.039 --> 00:52:41.719
I said, the event will be at the end of

733
00:52:41.760 --> 00:52:44.599
the summer school term. I'd very much love it if

734
00:52:44.639 --> 00:52:49.400
you and Derek would attend. Ronnie rolled her eyes fuck that.

735
00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:54.719
She glanced at Derek. Let's go. Derek gave Miss Decker

736
00:52:54.760 --> 00:52:58.320
an apologetic smile as he and Ronnie walked to the

737
00:52:58.360 --> 00:53:08.280
main doors. Week five, Friday night, Primrose Miran met Samuel

738
00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:11.480
Wormton in the alley next to the Strickfield Centennial Theater.

739
00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:15.599
She paid him money for an economics paper Principal Van

740
00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:19.440
Dieste had assigned. After giving her the paper, she looked

741
00:53:19.480 --> 00:53:23.280
it over with satisfaction. Then the two of them came

742
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:29.960
together and kissed. Primrose never planned on liking the worm

743
00:53:30.440 --> 00:53:34.639
but even Mirons are human By now, She was having

744
00:53:34.679 --> 00:53:37.960
sex with him. When they finished kissing, they knew they

745
00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:43.280
wanted to have sex again soon. My parents won't be

746
00:53:43.360 --> 00:53:48.199
home all night, Primrose offered, good mine, sure will be,

747
00:53:48.880 --> 00:53:53.159
Samuel replied. Primrose took his hand and they began walking

748
00:53:53.199 --> 00:53:57.159
to the mirn gated community. When they reached an alley,

749
00:53:57.639 --> 00:54:01.519
Primrose eased him into it. It's just on the other side.

750
00:54:02.599 --> 00:54:05.559
They were halfway through the alley when their eyes met

751
00:54:05.800 --> 00:54:10.719
and they kissed again, Primrose knew they wouldn't make it

752
00:54:10.719 --> 00:54:14.639
to the gated community. As they started to undress each other,

753
00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:21.039
they stopped when they heard a strange, eerie laughter. They

754
00:54:21.119 --> 00:54:24.239
let go of each other and turned to see the

755
00:54:24.280 --> 00:54:30.079
ghost of Lilian Johanson glowing brilliantly. She laughed as she

756
00:54:30.239 --> 00:54:34.000
pointed right at them. You were there on prom night

757
00:54:34.320 --> 00:54:39.760
as one of the competitors to my crown, Primrose. I

758
00:54:39.840 --> 00:54:42.960
heard rumors you were going to buy the crown like

759
00:54:43.039 --> 00:54:49.159
you buy your homework. Lilian looked very angry. Now, now,

760
00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:52.559
how fair is that you wanted to take from me?

761
00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:59.119
So I'm going to take from you. She pointed right

762
00:54:59.159 --> 00:55:05.880
at Samuel Die and suddenly Samuel cried out, seemingly in pain,

763
00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:11.320
yet there was no sign he had been touched Primrose.

764
00:55:12.320 --> 00:55:17.159
He choked, then he fell forward and landed on his face.

765
00:55:18.480 --> 00:55:23.280
Primrose lowered herself and checked his pulse. She shook her

766
00:55:23.280 --> 00:55:27.840
head quickly. No, no, no, you can't be dead, sam

767
00:55:28.480 --> 00:55:33.360
When the ghost came for her, Primrose screamed and ran

768
00:55:33.519 --> 00:55:42.440
for her life. She didn't stop running until she reached

769
00:55:42.480 --> 00:55:46.440
her gated community. As she started entering the code to

770
00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:50.320
open the side door next to the gate. Her phone rang.

771
00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:59.119
She looked at the caller, ID Ronnie Brunswick. Yeah, she stammered,

772
00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:02.119
Paying a nerd to do all your homework for you's

773
00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:05.440
gotta be nice. It's only fair. You're fucking him. Now,

774
00:56:07.000 --> 00:56:11.119
what do you even care, Primrose demanded, Because you ain't

775
00:56:11.159 --> 00:56:13.960
selling drugs or your body just to make ends meet.

776
00:56:14.280 --> 00:56:16.840
You're a spoiled brad who gets everything handed to her

777
00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:20.719
by mommy and Daddy. Well, Mama, Ronnie's gonna give you

778
00:56:20.840 --> 00:56:22.920
something sooner than you think.

779
00:56:24.519 --> 00:56:25.400
The call ended.

780
00:56:26.079 --> 00:56:28.719
After Primrose entered the code and stepped through the gate.

781
00:56:29.519 --> 00:56:36.360
There was a rumble, then it began to rain. She

782
00:56:36.519 --> 00:56:41.760
started crying again, remembering Samuel was killed by Lilyan Johansson's

783
00:56:41.800 --> 00:56:46.360
ghost felt almost like a dream. She needed to get

784
00:56:46.400 --> 00:56:52.079
home and call the police and tell them what, Primrose

785
00:56:52.159 --> 00:56:56.000
chastised herself, like they're really going to believe I'm being

786
00:56:56.119 --> 00:57:00.159
chased by a ghost. Primrose was soaked by the time

787
00:57:00.199 --> 00:57:05.360
she reached her house and walked inside to the waiting darkness. Suddenly,

788
00:57:05.719 --> 00:57:08.920
she was grabbed from behind and thrown to the kitchen floor.

789
00:57:09.920 --> 00:57:14.159
A female figure in a dark outfit throttled Primrose's throat

790
00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:17.800
as she sat on top of her Her eyes opened

791
00:57:17.840 --> 00:57:21.039
wide as she saw the knife the figure held up

792
00:57:21.840 --> 00:57:27.639
ready for the kill. Primrose screamed as the knife came

793
00:57:27.760 --> 00:57:40.599
down fast. Week five, Friday night, Primrose mirror screamed the

794
00:57:40.599 --> 00:57:44.639
top of her lungs as the knife suddenly came down fast.

795
00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:49.159
Remembering that Samuel Wormton was killed by Lilian Johansson's ghost,

796
00:57:49.559 --> 00:57:53.360
she grabbed her assailant's wrist. She groaned and fought back

797
00:57:53.440 --> 00:57:57.840
with fear fueled strength, and finally freed herself. When Primrose

798
00:57:57.880 --> 00:58:02.480
got to her feet, her attacker pursuit her. Primrose screamed

799
00:58:02.519 --> 00:58:05.639
again as she ran through her house. The knife almost

800
00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:07.880
came down on her hand as she used it to

801
00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:10.840
push off of a lamp table. She saw there was

802
00:58:10.880 --> 00:58:14.920
only one place she could run, the locked, fancy French

803
00:58:14.960 --> 00:58:19.039
patio doors leading out to the backyard. She knew she

804
00:58:19.119 --> 00:58:21.400
had to save herself and it was better to do

805
00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:24.199
what she had in mind now and catch hell from

806
00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:28.400
her parents later. Primrose cried out for her life as

807
00:58:28.440 --> 00:58:32.440
she crashed right through the doors. She could feel the

808
00:58:32.480 --> 00:58:34.880
cuts on her arms and legs. As she reached the

809
00:58:34.960 --> 00:58:37.440
fence on the other side of the inground swimming pool.

810
00:58:38.280 --> 00:58:40.760
She climbed the fence and ran until she reached the

811
00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:44.920
main gate, where she opened the side door and escaped.

812
00:58:48.480 --> 00:58:53.960
Final week Monday morning. On Saturday morning, Primrose certainly did

813
00:58:54.039 --> 00:58:57.000
catch hell from her parents for the damage they saw

814
00:58:57.039 --> 00:59:00.519
in the house upon coming home. After she explained what

815
00:59:00.559 --> 00:59:04.000
had happened, they eased off her. They knew their daughter

816
00:59:04.079 --> 00:59:06.320
well enough to know she wouldn't lie to them about

817
00:59:06.360 --> 00:59:10.559
someone attacking her. Her parents called the police, resulting in

818
00:59:10.639 --> 00:59:14.960
Primrose answering several questions. When she told the police what

819
00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:18.159
had happened in the alley next to the Strickfield Centennial Theater,

820
00:59:18.719 --> 00:59:22.599
omitting the details about Lillian Johansson, they told her they

821
00:59:22.639 --> 00:59:27.360
would investigate it. When the police left, Primrose was taken

822
00:59:27.400 --> 00:59:31.079
to Strickfield General Hospital and was treated for her injuries,

823
00:59:31.599 --> 00:59:36.760
mostly scratches and minor cuts. After coming back home, Primrose

824
00:59:36.800 --> 00:59:39.159
cleaned up and stayed home for the rest of the weekend.

825
00:59:39.800 --> 00:59:42.880
She hadn't gotten much sleep, which showed when she returned

826
00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:46.679
to Strickfield High School on Monday. As soon as Primrose

827
00:59:46.679 --> 00:59:50.519
walked into Room twelve, she immediately caught the menacing look

828
00:59:51.039 --> 00:59:55.679
from Ronnie Brunswick. Primrose gulped when she remembered her attacker

829
00:59:56.239 --> 01:00:00.239
was definitely female, in spite of being completely covered in

830
01:00:00.280 --> 01:00:03.559
all black. Now she wondered if it had been Ronnie.

831
01:00:04.239 --> 01:00:08.000
But Ronnie wouldn't have covered up like that, would she.

832
01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:11.000
She was always so direct and never back down from anybody,

833
01:00:11.480 --> 01:00:16.039
especially Principal Vandiste. Primrose took her seat and choked when

834
01:00:16.039 --> 01:00:20.280
she saw Samuel Wormton's empty seat, knowing she would never

835
01:00:20.360 --> 01:00:26.960
see him again except possibly at his funeral. Okay, she

836
01:00:27.280 --> 01:00:30.400
was paying him to write her papers. As far as

837
01:00:30.440 --> 01:00:33.079
she was concerned. It was her money to do with

838
01:00:33.239 --> 01:00:36.320
as she liked, and she knew everybody else, including the

839
01:00:36.360 --> 01:00:41.599
Principal himself, had done something discreet in their time. Sure

840
01:00:41.679 --> 01:00:44.599
she was guilty of cheating, She was guilty of a

841
01:00:44.639 --> 01:00:49.320
lot of things, but who wasn't This was going to

842
01:00:49.360 --> 01:00:57.159
be a very, very long three hours. At the break,

843
01:00:57.280 --> 01:01:01.280
Primrose saw Ronnie march right into the life and point

844
01:01:01.360 --> 01:01:03.760
right at her as she was looking at the yearbook.

845
01:01:04.480 --> 01:01:08.480
Primrose became scared and ran from the library. She didn't

846
01:01:08.480 --> 01:01:11.400
get very far when Ronnie yanked on her strawberry blonde

847
01:01:11.440 --> 01:01:15.400
hair and shoved her into an empty classroom. Ronnie pulled

848
01:01:15.400 --> 01:01:19.000
the door shut behind her, then pressed herself up against her. Prey,

849
01:01:20.159 --> 01:01:23.199
you afraid of me, little Primrose, you should be, you

850
01:01:23.320 --> 01:01:29.400
fucking cheater. Primrose tried to compose herself. Okay, I'm a cheater,

851
01:01:29.559 --> 01:01:34.880
but you are a drug dealer and a whore. Ronnie smirked,

852
01:01:35.400 --> 01:01:37.760
And it was people like you who put me there,

853
01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:41.800
funny thing, it's also people like you who find people

854
01:01:41.960 --> 01:01:46.119
like me when you need uppers for ballet recitals. Then

855
01:01:46.239 --> 01:01:49.119
you needed adderall to win Miss Strickfield at the County

856
01:01:49.119 --> 01:01:53.000
Fair last year. Then you was wanting Coke to win

857
01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:57.000
the election for student council president next year. What do

858
01:01:57.039 --> 01:02:02.239
you want? Primrose asked weakly. What you owe for everything

859
01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:04.519
I hooked you up with. I gave them to you

860
01:02:04.559 --> 01:02:07.519
on credit because you're a mirrn, which means you were

861
01:02:07.519 --> 01:02:10.480
good for it. But you've been avoiding me, rich girl.

862
01:02:11.199 --> 01:02:13.920
What you can pay your nerdy lover for doing your

863
01:02:13.920 --> 01:02:17.880
homework but you can't pay me? They stared into each

864
01:02:17.880 --> 01:02:23.159
other's eyes for a long moment. Then Primrose nodded, Yeah,

865
01:02:23.400 --> 01:02:24.079
I can pay you.

866
01:02:24.920 --> 01:02:25.679
What do I owe you?

867
01:02:26.679 --> 01:02:32.599
Ronnie smiled sweetly. Now ten Primrose's eyes and mouth widened.

868
01:02:33.159 --> 01:02:37.360
Ten grand for the drugs, three grand for the drugs

869
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:39.840
I gave you so far, and a grand for every

870
01:02:39.880 --> 01:02:42.920
week of summer school for keeping my mouth shut about

871
01:02:42.960 --> 01:02:47.280
you cheating, including this week. You pay up. Your secret

872
01:02:47.360 --> 01:02:51.800
stays safe and if not. Ronnie took out her smartphone

873
01:02:52.039 --> 01:02:55.000
and showed Primrose the footage she captured of her and

874
01:02:55.079 --> 01:02:58.400
Samuel making their exchange in the alley next to the

875
01:02:58.400 --> 01:03:02.119
Centennial Theater from that fateful night. And I got a

876
01:03:02.119 --> 01:03:05.559
few more of these just like it. Primrose started to

877
01:03:05.599 --> 01:03:10.920
cry a little now, then she nodded, okay. When Primrose

878
01:03:10.960 --> 01:03:14.639
opened her purse and pulled out her money, Ronnie snatched

879
01:03:14.679 --> 01:03:19.840
it and counted it out. Wow, four grand. I'm surprised

880
01:03:19.840 --> 01:03:23.119
you carry that kind of money on you. Then she smiled,

881
01:03:23.920 --> 01:03:27.599
I'll call this an installment. Always a pleasure doing business

882
01:03:27.639 --> 01:03:31.960
with you, little Primrose. So I just owe you another

883
01:03:32.000 --> 01:03:37.639
five grand. Then Primrose inquired, Ronnie laughed, Nah, you still

884
01:03:37.639 --> 01:03:42.880
owe me six do on Friday? Primrose gasped, what's the

885
01:03:42.920 --> 01:03:43.679
extra thousand?

886
01:03:43.760 --> 01:03:44.039
Four?

887
01:03:44.880 --> 01:03:49.119
Ronnie quickly placed a pharmaceutical container in her hand for these,

888
01:03:49.880 --> 01:03:53.599
you really look like shit. She held Primrose's hand tightly.

889
01:03:54.880 --> 01:03:58.079
You don't pay me the final six grand. She showed

890
01:03:58.079 --> 01:04:01.880
Primrose her switchblade. I'll cut a slash on your arm

891
01:04:02.000 --> 01:04:04.800
for every day you miss a payment as a reminder

892
01:04:05.440 --> 01:04:09.119
you get real delinquent, I'll just cut your fuckin' heart out,

893
01:04:09.400 --> 01:04:11.559
and then I'll post every video I got of you

894
01:04:11.639 --> 01:04:16.119
on social media. You hearin me, rich girl. She retracted

895
01:04:16.119 --> 01:04:18.840
the blade. Now get the fuck out of my face.

896
01:04:20.000 --> 01:04:23.360
Ronnie stepped aside and let Primrose leave. She knew she

897
01:04:23.400 --> 01:04:25.559
had time to get a few lines of cocaine in

898
01:04:25.639 --> 01:04:29.119
before going back to class. She didn't really need it,

899
01:04:29.199 --> 01:04:31.519
but she was feeling really sweet at the moment. With

900
01:04:31.559 --> 01:04:34.599
all that cash in her pocket and knowing much more

901
01:04:34.679 --> 01:04:38.760
was coming, she could certainly treat herself to day. When

902
01:04:38.760 --> 01:04:43.039
the next break came, Ronnie targeted Regal Fairlane and followed

903
01:04:43.039 --> 01:04:46.280
her to see her going into an empty classroom. As

904
01:04:46.320 --> 01:04:49.679
Regal pulled the door shut, Ronnie suddenly came into the

905
01:04:49.760 --> 01:04:53.639
room with her. What's the matter, Preppy, still missing your

906
01:04:53.679 --> 01:04:57.920
sexy teach your boyfriend, Ronnie asked, pulling the door shut

907
01:04:57.920 --> 01:05:03.800
behind her. What Regal choked out? Ronnie smiled, Yeah, I

908
01:05:03.880 --> 01:05:08.000
know all about you, fucking mister Zachary. In fact, Ronnie

909
01:05:08.039 --> 01:05:11.039
had her smartphone and showed Regal the footage she captured

910
01:05:11.079 --> 01:05:14.039
of them meeting at the Strickfield County Fair the night

911
01:05:14.079 --> 01:05:17.880
Austin was killed. Regal became dizzy when she saw some

912
01:05:17.960 --> 01:05:22.079
of the rather NSFW content from inside the haunted House.

913
01:05:22.920 --> 01:05:27.559
Ronnie knew everything. She stopped the video. He wasn't fucking

914
01:05:27.599 --> 01:05:32.440
him for grades, so what's up with you? Regal groaned, No,

915
01:05:33.159 --> 01:05:36.480
it wasn't for grades. I like older men. I'm not

916
01:05:36.519 --> 01:05:42.159
going into my sex life with you, Ronnie sighed, romantically nice.

917
01:05:42.880 --> 01:05:45.480
You got a fetish, we all got him, but that

918
01:05:45.559 --> 01:05:47.159
ain't all I want to talk to you about.

919
01:05:47.239 --> 01:05:48.119
Preppy.

920
01:05:48.239 --> 01:05:50.960
You owe me green for those quality caffeine pills you

921
01:05:51.000 --> 01:05:54.599
wanted around midterms and finals week during the regular school year.

922
01:05:55.360 --> 01:05:57.679
I let you pay me with a night of hot

923
01:05:57.719 --> 01:06:00.280
sex after midterms because we were both in the mood,

924
01:06:00.920 --> 01:06:03.800
so I ain't counting that, but you still owe me

925
01:06:03.840 --> 01:06:04.719
for finals week?

926
01:06:05.679 --> 01:06:06.159
How much?

927
01:06:06.599 --> 01:06:11.159
Regal asked five hundred for the pills, Ronnie smirked her

928
01:06:11.280 --> 01:06:14.960
evil smirk, and a thousand for each of these six

929
01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:17.840
weeks of summer school that I didn't post this video

930
01:06:18.079 --> 01:06:22.519
to social media, so you owe me sixty five hundred altogether.

931
01:06:23.599 --> 01:06:26.719
I don't have that kind of money. Regal shrieked, I

932
01:06:26.760 --> 01:06:30.639
can pay you for the pills, but the rest that's extortion.

933
01:06:31.360 --> 01:06:34.800
She put her hands to her head in frustration. Why, Ronnie,

934
01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:37.679
what the hell did I ever do to you? Ronnie

935
01:06:37.679 --> 01:06:41.400
smirked again. How about when you stole Daddy's money to

936
01:06:41.440 --> 01:06:44.119
buy ecstasy from me when you wanted to fuck on

937
01:06:44.199 --> 01:06:47.920
it with your teacher back on your birthday? Yeah, looky here,

938
01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:51.280
I got that one on my phone too, extra steamy.

939
01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:54.880
And when Daddy cornered you about the missing green, you

940
01:06:55.039 --> 01:06:58.440
told him I broke in and lifted it, didn't you?

941
01:06:59.480 --> 01:07:01.920
The popoe couldn't hang it on me? But I knew

942
01:07:01.960 --> 01:07:06.400
you fucked me, only fair, I fuck you back. Ronnie

943
01:07:06.400 --> 01:07:09.400
showed Regal her switchblade and gave her the same threats

944
01:07:09.400 --> 01:07:12.719
she made to Primrose Mirror in one break earlier. Then

945
01:07:12.840 --> 01:07:16.880
she finished by asking Regal, now you got the green

946
01:07:16.920 --> 01:07:20.079
to give me today. Regal felt sick to her stomach

947
01:07:20.119 --> 01:07:24.280
from seeing Ronnie's videos of her and Austin, but she

948
01:07:24.320 --> 01:07:27.800
immediately paid Ronnie the money for the drugs. After that,

949
01:07:28.039 --> 01:07:30.960
Ronnie opened the door for Regal and let her walk out.

950
01:07:31.719 --> 01:07:42.719
From there, the two girls walked back to class final week. Tuesday,

951
01:07:43.760 --> 01:07:46.519
after school, Primrose met up with Regal in the old

952
01:07:46.920 --> 01:07:50.840
abandoned rail yard on the outskirts of the village. Primrose

953
01:07:50.880 --> 01:07:53.800
had seen Regal and Ronnie walking back into the classroom

954
01:07:53.800 --> 01:07:57.119
together the day before. Having a pretty good idea of

955
01:07:57.159 --> 01:08:00.880
what had transpired between them, she contacted Regal and arranged

956
01:08:00.920 --> 01:08:04.599
a meeting. The girls confided in each other about why

957
01:08:04.639 --> 01:08:07.760
they were in trouble with Ronnie. I can't afford to

958
01:08:07.760 --> 01:08:12.039
pay six thousand dollars, Regal told Primrose. Now I'll have

959
01:08:12.079 --> 01:08:14.679
to stay out in the open so Ronnie won't catch

960
01:08:14.679 --> 01:08:18.479
me alone somewhere. I can't even go into a restroom anywhere,

961
01:08:18.840 --> 01:08:22.800
knowing Ronnie will corner me for her blackmail money. I

962
01:08:22.880 --> 01:08:26.720
know what you mean, Primrose replied, I can pay her

963
01:08:26.800 --> 01:08:30.279
for sure, but I'm not going to The money for

964
01:08:30.319 --> 01:08:34.319
the drugs was enough. I won't pay for blackmail. At

965
01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:37.600
least you didn't have to pay her with sex. Regal muttered,

966
01:08:38.239 --> 01:08:41.680
I'm not into girls, especially skanky ones like Ronnie Brunswick.

967
01:08:42.439 --> 01:08:46.000
You could have fooled me, Regal. You know damn well,

968
01:08:46.079 --> 01:08:50.239
you loved it a familiar voice interrupted, you even wanted

969
01:08:50.239 --> 01:08:54.600
some hot morning sex? Regal and Primrose gasped when they

970
01:08:54.600 --> 01:08:58.479
saw Ronnie approaching them. She still had her eyes locked

971
01:08:58.520 --> 01:09:01.880
on Regal. Okay, I ain't no good girl, but I

972
01:09:01.960 --> 01:09:04.760
take great care of my body. Men pay big money

973
01:09:04.800 --> 01:09:07.720
for a hot piece of ass like me. Ronnie brought

974
01:09:07.760 --> 01:09:11.800
out two switchblades and sprang them to life. You two

975
01:09:11.840 --> 01:09:16.640
ain't paying up, that's fine. Like I said, I'm taking

976
01:09:16.720 --> 01:09:21.039
both your fucking hearts. She opened her eyes wide. Hey,

977
01:09:22.039 --> 01:09:24.840
I can be the new queen of hearts killer right

978
01:09:24.880 --> 01:09:29.880
here in Strickfield. Run Regal, Primrose screamed. The two girls

979
01:09:29.920 --> 01:09:34.439
turned and ran. They heard Ronnie laughing maniacally behind them.

980
01:09:34.640 --> 01:09:37.439
Ronnie hadn't done any cocaine today, but she sure could

981
01:09:37.520 --> 01:09:41.239
act like she had. Contrary to what people thought, Ronnie

982
01:09:41.319 --> 01:09:44.960
knew her limits on drugs and never overindulged. In fact,

983
01:09:45.279 --> 01:09:49.119
she only ever did cocaine as her drug of choice. Okay,

984
01:09:49.199 --> 01:09:52.039
maybe also some pot. She never did any of the

985
01:09:52.079 --> 01:09:55.359
other drugs she sold. She got off on fear more

986
01:09:55.399 --> 01:10:00.319
than anything else, and these girls were just priceless. Regal

987
01:10:00.319 --> 01:10:03.239
and Primrose were quite surprised at how fast Ronnie could

988
01:10:03.319 --> 01:10:07.000
run and keep up with them. Even in her stiletto heels.

989
01:10:07.680 --> 01:10:10.720
Ronnie managed to chase her targets onto Indian Hollow Road.

990
01:10:11.159 --> 01:10:15.520
At one point, both girls split up. Ronnie continued pursuing Regal.

991
01:10:16.279 --> 01:10:19.880
After several minutes, Regal reached a wooden fence and climbed

992
01:10:19.920 --> 01:10:23.399
over it into a field. Regal ran onto the soft,

993
01:10:23.479 --> 01:10:26.800
freshly plowed soil and found it harder and harder to run.

994
01:10:27.600 --> 01:10:31.039
Seeing this, Ronnie took her time climbing over the fence.

995
01:10:31.760 --> 01:10:34.960
Then she seemingly just walked until she caught up to

996
01:10:35.000 --> 01:10:38.439
her prey. Regel cried out when Ronnie shoved her and

997
01:10:38.479 --> 01:10:41.640
made her fall onto her back. Then Ronnie sat on

998
01:10:41.720 --> 01:10:46.319
her and smirked. Now, Preppy, I want another look at

999
01:10:46.319 --> 01:10:49.520
that sizzlin body of yours before I cut your heart out,

1000
01:10:50.239 --> 01:10:53.640
Ronnie purred, cutting off the top button on Rerigal's blouse.

1001
01:10:54.439 --> 01:10:56.760
That's what you get for trying to fuck me over.

1002
01:10:57.920 --> 01:11:03.520
Regal began to cry, Now, please no stop, A voice

1003
01:11:03.520 --> 01:11:06.479
called out. Ronnie looked up and saw the guy running

1004
01:11:06.520 --> 01:11:11.079
towards them. When he got close enough, Ronnie recognized him immediately.

1005
01:11:12.000 --> 01:11:16.800
You Ronnie never fought Dereck Masters When he cautiously took

1006
01:11:16.800 --> 01:11:19.800
her switchblades. She even let him help her get off

1007
01:11:19.800 --> 01:11:22.439
of Regal and back on to her feet. Then he

1008
01:11:22.520 --> 01:11:26.159
took Rigal's hand and helped her up too. Oh thank god,

1009
01:11:26.279 --> 01:11:29.920
thank you so much, Derek, Regal cried, please help me.

1010
01:11:30.960 --> 01:11:35.680
Derek nodded, I got this, go on home, Regal. Regal

1011
01:11:35.760 --> 01:11:38.279
nodded quickly and made her way back to the fence.

1012
01:11:38.800 --> 01:11:43.680
After climbing back over it, she soon disappeared. Derek turned

1013
01:11:43.760 --> 01:11:47.760
to his girlfriend, Why are you like this, Ronnie? What

1014
01:11:47.960 --> 01:11:52.479
happened to you? As always, he was so unbelievably calm.

1015
01:11:53.680 --> 01:11:57.479
Ronnie had never felt so vulnerable in her entire life.

1016
01:11:57.520 --> 01:12:00.600
She really didn't know how to fight Derek, and she

1017
01:12:00.640 --> 01:12:04.079
had brawled with many guys in her life. Somehow, this

1018
01:12:04.239 --> 01:12:07.600
guy she had met day one in summer school had

1019
01:12:07.640 --> 01:12:11.159
stolen her heart. He truly cared about her in spite

1020
01:12:11.159 --> 01:12:14.239
of the fact that she was trouble. Now he had

1021
01:12:14.239 --> 01:12:17.960
made her see how dark her soul truly was, and

1022
01:12:18.039 --> 01:12:21.920
she began to cry. Derreck and Rannie held each other

1023
01:12:22.000 --> 01:12:23.880
long enough for her to cry out her pent up

1024
01:12:23.960 --> 01:12:27.159
rage from the years of hell she endured to harden

1025
01:12:27.199 --> 01:12:31.119
her the way she was and then Derec lifted her

1026
01:12:31.119 --> 01:12:37.279
teary eyes to his and kissed her tenderly. Ranie completely

1027
01:12:37.319 --> 01:12:40.159
submitted to him and kissed him back. When they finished,

1028
01:12:40.159 --> 01:12:42.840
Derrec took her hand and walked her to the farm

1029
01:12:42.840 --> 01:12:46.760
house where he lived with his family. As many times

1030
01:12:46.800 --> 01:12:49.680
as Dereck had been to Rannie's apartment at Strickfield Cove,

1031
01:12:50.239 --> 01:12:52.600
she hadn't been able to seduce him to her bed,

1032
01:12:53.359 --> 01:12:55.359
and she took care of her apartment the same way

1033
01:12:55.439 --> 01:12:58.680
she took care of her body. But now she had

1034
01:12:58.720 --> 01:13:02.279
the feeling they would finally be going to bed real soon.

1035
01:13:06.479 --> 01:13:09.840
Primrose kept running until she came back to Strickfield High School.

1036
01:13:10.399 --> 01:13:13.800
She hoped she could get inside the building and lose Ronnie.

1037
01:13:13.880 --> 01:13:16.479
She had never been so scared of any one individual

1038
01:13:16.520 --> 01:13:21.119
in all her life. Okay two, she still remembered Lilyan

1039
01:13:21.239 --> 01:13:24.119
Johansson's ghost from in the alley next to the Strickfield

1040
01:13:24.159 --> 01:13:28.119
Centennial Theater. Four days earlier. Primrose found one of the

1041
01:13:28.159 --> 01:13:31.479
back doors open and went into the school. It was

1042
01:13:31.520 --> 01:13:34.159
the middle of the afternoon, so only a select few

1043
01:13:34.239 --> 01:13:38.159
faculty members would likely be inside, or maybe a custodian.

1044
01:13:38.880 --> 01:13:41.199
She came out into the hallway and thought about running

1045
01:13:41.199 --> 01:13:44.760
into the gymnasium to hide from Ronnie. There she pulled

1046
01:13:44.760 --> 01:13:47.600
on both sets of doors to find they were quite locked.

1047
01:13:48.520 --> 01:13:52.279
Can I help you, dear, a voice called out. Primrose

1048
01:13:52.319 --> 01:13:55.840
looked and saw the drama instructor, Devin Decker approaching her.

1049
01:13:56.359 --> 01:13:59.239
I'm sorry, the gymnasiums closed until the end of the week.

1050
01:14:00.159 --> 01:14:04.079
Someone's chasing me. Primrose quickly told her. Who's chasing you?

1051
01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:09.680
Devin asked suspiciously. She's going to kill me. Devin eased

1052
01:14:09.720 --> 01:14:13.039
Primrose into her arms. Nobody's going to kill you here,

1053
01:14:13.119 --> 01:14:17.359
Dear Primrose quickly tore away from Devon. How can you

1054
01:14:17.439 --> 01:14:20.279
say that? Then she laughed and spun around with her

1055
01:14:20.399 --> 01:14:25.000
arms outstretched. People died here at the prom from hell,

1056
01:14:26.319 --> 01:14:30.520
Devin sighed, Come with me. You need to get yourself together.

1057
01:14:31.279 --> 01:14:34.439
Devin escorted Primrose to the little theater and had her

1058
01:14:34.439 --> 01:14:37.680
sit in one of the seats. After she had finished crying,

1059
01:14:37.800 --> 01:14:40.920
she looked up at her savior. Thank you, Miss Decker,

1060
01:14:41.560 --> 01:14:47.199
Primrose whispered. It's quite all right, dear Devin replied. Then

1061
01:14:47.319 --> 01:14:49.520
Primrose recognized Devin a little more.

1062
01:14:50.800 --> 01:14:53.000
I do know you.

1063
01:14:53.000 --> 01:14:56.720
You were close to Lilyan Johansson I'm close to a

1064
01:14:56.720 --> 01:15:01.479
lot of people, Devin replied. Primro shook her head. I've

1065
01:15:01.520 --> 01:15:04.840
seen you with Lilian lots of times when she was alive.

1066
01:15:05.399 --> 01:15:07.479
I walked by your house and saw you getting her

1067
01:15:07.479 --> 01:15:12.039
ready for prom. It was Lilian's first prom. She trusted

1068
01:15:12.039 --> 01:15:14.760
me to make her look as beautiful and lovely as possible.

1069
01:15:15.640 --> 01:15:18.239
I'm quite certain she was her class's choice to win

1070
01:15:18.279 --> 01:15:21.319
the Junior crown. Had she won it, she would have

1071
01:15:21.319 --> 01:15:24.680
automatically been nominated for the senior class crown at next

1072
01:15:24.760 --> 01:15:29.600
year's prom. She sighed, it's still upsetting what Laura Lee

1073
01:15:29.640 --> 01:15:34.880
Hardy had done on Prom night because of her no

1074
01:15:35.039 --> 01:15:40.520
prom Queen's wherever crowned. I'm so sorry, Primrose said, sadly,

1075
01:15:42.039 --> 01:15:47.039
me too. Devin patted Primrose's shoulder. Come on, dear, I'll

1076
01:15:47.079 --> 01:15:52.800
take you home. Primrose brightened up. Really, don't you have

1077
01:15:52.920 --> 01:15:56.840
work to do here? I do, but tomorrow's another day

1078
01:15:57.640 --> 01:15:58.760
and I'm nearly finished.

1079
01:15:58.760 --> 01:15:59.199
Anyway.

1080
01:16:00.079 --> 01:16:03.479
From there, Miss Decker and Primrose left the little theater.

1081
01:16:08.359 --> 01:16:12.399
Derek held Ronnie after they finished making love. Ronnie still

1082
01:16:12.439 --> 01:16:16.439
found herself crying at times. She confided in Derek about

1083
01:16:16.439 --> 01:16:19.079
how her parents had abandoned her when they felt she

1084
01:16:19.159 --> 01:16:21.840
was old enough to get on by herself at the

1085
01:16:21.880 --> 01:16:25.479
age of ten. From there, she had to become street

1086
01:16:25.560 --> 01:16:28.960
smart to be able to live. My parents are both

1087
01:16:29.039 --> 01:16:33.960
from money, Derek, Ronnie finished. They abandoned me because they ain't.

1088
01:16:34.000 --> 01:16:37.159
Never wanted no kid. That's why I say rich people

1089
01:16:37.199 --> 01:16:41.399
put me where I am. She sighed, I fucking hate

1090
01:16:41.399 --> 01:16:46.039
my life. Derek caressed the side of her face. Maybe

1091
01:16:46.039 --> 01:16:48.520
I can help. Why don't you come and work here?

1092
01:16:49.680 --> 01:16:53.760
Ronnie looked up at him. What My dad's always looking

1093
01:16:53.800 --> 01:16:57.079
for people to come work on the farm here, Derek explained.

1094
01:16:57.760 --> 01:17:00.319
That's why I'm still here. Dad'll give you room and

1095
01:17:00.359 --> 01:17:02.960
board and you'll be paid good. You can even learn

1096
01:17:03.000 --> 01:17:05.720
about farming while you're out there. It'll be kind of

1097
01:17:05.760 --> 01:17:11.079
like going to college. Ronnie pondered it. I don't know.

1098
01:17:11.960 --> 01:17:14.840
He looked her in the face. Then ask yourself if

1099
01:17:14.880 --> 01:17:16.720
you want to keep doing what you're doing for the

1100
01:17:16.760 --> 01:17:20.720
rest of your life. Ronnie quickly turned her back to him.

1101
01:17:22.720 --> 01:17:26.680
I've killed people, Derek. I ain't cold blooded, but I've

1102
01:17:26.760 --> 01:17:29.560
killed people. If it was either me or the motherfucker

1103
01:17:29.600 --> 01:17:32.359
wanting to kill me in a fight for my life,

1104
01:17:32.479 --> 01:17:37.439
I'd choose me. She started crying again. Just go call

1105
01:17:37.479 --> 01:17:40.560
the fucking popo to come get me. I ain't running.

1106
01:17:41.720 --> 01:17:44.720
Derek turned her back to him and held her again.

1107
01:17:45.720 --> 01:17:47.960
Look me in the eyes and tell me you never

1108
01:17:48.039 --> 01:17:51.920
murdered anyone because you wanted to. Ronnie quickly pulled away.

1109
01:17:52.399 --> 01:17:52.640
Never.

1110
01:17:53.399 --> 01:17:55.760
Yeah, I told people I'd kill him if they didn't

1111
01:17:55.760 --> 01:17:58.600
pay what they owed, but that always scares him enough

1112
01:17:58.600 --> 01:18:01.119
to make them pay. I would have never really hurt

1113
01:18:01.159 --> 01:18:05.399
Primrose or Regal, she sighed. I did lots of things.

1114
01:18:05.399 --> 01:18:08.479
I ain't proud of, Derek. You're really thinking I can

1115
01:18:08.560 --> 01:18:12.000
just change. Come work with you on your dad's farm,

1116
01:18:12.680 --> 01:18:17.039
Stay here with you, loving you, be in your honey,

1117
01:18:18.039 --> 01:18:21.239
He caressed the side of her face. You can change

1118
01:18:21.239 --> 01:18:25.439
if you wanna. It's really that easy. Derek knew he

1119
01:18:25.479 --> 01:18:28.439
had his answer when she lowered herself and kissed him.

1120
01:18:29.279 --> 01:18:35.079
Then they made love again. Primrose left her house, thinking

1121
01:18:35.119 --> 01:18:37.880
whoever attacked her there before might come for her again,

1122
01:18:38.680 --> 01:18:42.279
possibly Ronnie. She didn't want to involve her parents any

1123
01:18:42.319 --> 01:18:46.039
further than they already were. She left the gated community

1124
01:18:46.039 --> 01:18:49.880
and went into downtown Strickfield. She knew she'd be okay

1125
01:18:49.920 --> 01:18:53.239
with people and lights. She decided she would go to

1126
01:18:53.359 --> 01:18:56.840
Roth's Rings, a twenty four hour donut shop and video

1127
01:18:56.840 --> 01:18:59.880
game arcade. She knew she would be safe there for

1128
01:19:01.319 --> 01:19:04.640
as she started to pass an alley, she saw someone

1129
01:19:04.760 --> 01:19:11.079
leaning oddly against the wall. The shape looked feminine. Hey,

1130
01:19:12.000 --> 01:19:16.079
are you all right, Primrose called out. When the girl

1131
01:19:16.159 --> 01:19:20.039
suddenly fell onto her back, Primrose ran into the alley

1132
01:19:20.079 --> 01:19:23.720
to help. Upon reaching the girl, her hands went to

1133
01:19:23.760 --> 01:19:27.720
her mouth as she screamed. Upon seeing the dead body

1134
01:19:28.640 --> 01:19:33.000
of Regal fair Lane, there were two empty syringes right

1135
01:19:33.039 --> 01:19:38.159
next to her. Oh God, you fucking crazy bitch, Ronnie,

1136
01:19:38.199 --> 01:19:42.119
she yelled. Primrose turned and ran further into the alley

1137
01:19:42.600 --> 01:19:46.479
when she suddenly found she didn't have her smartphone. She

1138
01:19:46.520 --> 01:19:49.119
could get to the police station in minutes and be safe,

1139
01:19:49.560 --> 01:19:52.159
so she soon turned down the connecting alley leading to

1140
01:19:52.159 --> 01:19:56.880
the Strickfield Centennial Theater. Then she stopped when she remembered

1141
01:19:56.920 --> 01:20:00.840
it was there that Samuel Wormton died. She sank to

1142
01:20:00.880 --> 01:20:02.800
her knees and began to.

1143
01:20:02.800 --> 01:20:04.760
Cry, Primrose.

1144
01:20:05.359 --> 01:20:11.239
A haunting, familiar voice sang Primrose. Primrose looked up and

1145
01:20:11.319 --> 01:20:16.479
saw the glowing ghost of Lilian Johansson walking towards her. No,

1146
01:20:17.720 --> 01:20:21.840
Primrose wailed as the ghost laughed horribly. She wanted to

1147
01:20:21.840 --> 01:20:24.520
get up and run, but she was too exhausted with

1148
01:20:24.640 --> 01:20:28.960
grief and weariness and petrified with fear as she held herself. Now,

1149
01:20:29.960 --> 01:20:32.680
the ghost was soon right in front of her. Didn't

1150
01:20:32.720 --> 01:20:36.600
anyone ever teach you that it's wrong to do drugs, Primrose,

1151
01:20:36.920 --> 01:20:40.520
the ghost taunted her. Regal just learned that, lesson. Now

1152
01:20:40.560 --> 01:20:44.039
it's time for you to learn too. The ghost produced

1153
01:20:44.039 --> 01:20:49.520
a large filled syringe in each hand. Say no to drugs.

1154
01:20:50.000 --> 01:20:53.279
Primrose's final scream was cut off when the ghost lowered

1155
01:20:53.279 --> 01:20:57.399
herself and jammed the needles right into her neck. The

1156
01:20:57.479 --> 01:21:01.760
last thing Primrose Miron would ever feel were the lethal

1157
01:21:01.880 --> 01:21:06.439
drugs squirting into her system. Primrose was dead before the

1158
01:21:06.479 --> 01:21:11.600
syringes were even empty. The ghost finished emptying them before

1159
01:21:11.640 --> 01:21:17.479
pulling them out and dropping them beside Primrose's corpse. Lily

1160
01:21:17.520 --> 01:21:21.560
and Johanson laughed coldly and looked down at her body.

1161
01:21:23.479 --> 01:21:27.039
Death doesn't end here for you or Regal. Dear, you

1162
01:21:27.159 --> 01:21:31.680
two still have one final event you must attend before

1163
01:21:31.800 --> 01:21:44.840
you can go to your graves. Final week Thursday afternoon,

1164
01:21:46.039 --> 01:21:49.359
Ronnie Brunswick and Derreck Masters were working around the Barn.

1165
01:21:50.000 --> 01:21:52.479
Ronnie wasn't sure if she really wanted to trade a

1166
01:21:52.520 --> 01:21:55.840
life of selling drugs for an honest job. After all,

1167
01:21:56.720 --> 01:21:59.520
she never knew working on a farm could be so hard.

1168
01:22:00.359 --> 01:22:03.119
Several times she wanted to just drop what she was

1169
01:22:03.159 --> 01:22:06.560
doing and walk away. She knew she made way better

1170
01:22:06.600 --> 01:22:10.119
money selling drugs alone than the generous offer Deryck's father

1171
01:22:10.239 --> 01:22:14.199
made her when he hired her. Roanie never had anyone

1172
01:22:14.319 --> 01:22:17.279
care about her the way Dereck did. She knew she

1173
01:22:17.359 --> 01:22:21.359
cared for him deeply too. These reasons would ultimately keep

1174
01:22:21.399 --> 01:22:23.760
her on the farm, where she would try to make

1175
01:22:23.800 --> 01:22:28.000
an honest life, if not for herself, then for Deryck.

1176
01:22:28.720 --> 01:22:29.079
Also.

1177
01:22:29.600 --> 01:22:33.319
She had only one more day of Principal Matthew Van

1178
01:22:33.319 --> 01:22:37.399
Deast's classes, the final hurdle to staying out of prison.

1179
01:22:38.079 --> 01:22:42.079
She had passed government and knew she would pass economics.

1180
01:22:42.159 --> 01:22:44.680
She would really graduate high school with Derreck and have

1181
01:22:44.760 --> 01:22:49.199
her new life with him. Ronnie shrieked when her smartphone

1182
01:22:49.279 --> 01:22:51.920
rang in the bib of her overalls, snapping her out

1183
01:22:51.920 --> 01:22:54.399
of her thoughts. She pulled it out and saw a

1184
01:22:54.479 --> 01:23:00.680
primrose miron on her caller id what she snapped Rhonda

1185
01:23:00.760 --> 01:23:04.439
Brunswick This is Devin Decker, the drama teacher from Strickfield

1186
01:23:04.560 --> 01:23:08.720
High and you're calling me on Primrose mirn cell phone

1187
01:23:08.800 --> 01:23:12.800
because Primrose came to me two days ago and said

1188
01:23:12.840 --> 01:23:16.319
someone was chasing her. As it turned out, she disappeared

1189
01:23:16.319 --> 01:23:19.119
from her house. Her parents called me and asked if

1190
01:23:19.119 --> 01:23:21.399
I'd seen her, since I was the last one to

1191
01:23:21.439 --> 01:23:24.720
see her before she disappeared. I found her cell phone

1192
01:23:24.760 --> 01:23:27.920
in the little theater at school. She must have dropped

1193
01:23:27.920 --> 01:23:30.439
it the last time I saw her. She didn't have

1194
01:23:30.479 --> 01:23:33.319
a password set, so I looked through her recent calls.

1195
01:23:33.720 --> 01:23:36.760
You were the last one she talked to, and you're

1196
01:23:36.800 --> 01:23:41.039
thinkin I know where she is. Ronnie translated. Sorry, I

1197
01:23:41.079 --> 01:23:43.880
ain't seen Primrose nowhere. She ain't even been coming to

1198
01:23:43.880 --> 01:23:46.840
school the last few days. Well, I'm going to call

1199
01:23:46.880 --> 01:23:49.640
some others to come and help look for Primrose. Maybe

1200
01:23:49.640 --> 01:23:53.239
you could come and help look too. Suddenly it sounded

1201
01:23:53.239 --> 01:23:56.319
as if the phone was pulled away. I'm sorry, you

1202
01:23:56.359 --> 01:23:59.239
can't be here. No get away, No stop, what are

1203
01:23:59.279 --> 01:23:59.640
you doing?

1204
01:23:59.680 --> 01:23:59.960
Stop?

1205
01:24:01.159 --> 01:24:06.479
There were some loud noises. No. Suddenly the call ended.

1206
01:24:07.000 --> 01:24:10.840
Ronnie quickly told Derek what had happened. From there, they

1207
01:24:10.920 --> 01:24:13.159
dropped what they were doing and jumped into Derek's pickup

1208
01:24:13.159 --> 01:24:18.000
truck to race to Strickfield High School. Randy Oolery and

1209
01:24:18.119 --> 01:24:22.079
Cameron Johansson pulled in at Strickfield High and parked. They

1210
01:24:22.119 --> 01:24:24.159
got out of the car and walked to the building.

1211
01:24:24.960 --> 01:24:28.239
I'm surprised the main doors are unlocked, Cameron said, as

1212
01:24:28.239 --> 01:24:32.000
they walked inside. I didn't see Miss Decker's car anywhere.

1213
01:24:32.199 --> 01:24:33.840
She's the one who called us to come out here

1214
01:24:33.840 --> 01:24:37.720
and help look for Primrose. Yeah, I know, Randy agreed.

1215
01:24:38.479 --> 01:24:40.640
Let's go see if Ms Decker is in the little theater.

1216
01:24:41.600 --> 01:24:45.399
Just then they heard noises coming from the gymnasium and

1217
01:24:45.520 --> 01:24:48.920
walked to the two double sets of doors there. It

1218
01:24:49.039 --> 01:24:53.359
sounded like music was being played inside. Randy and Cameron

1219
01:24:53.399 --> 01:24:57.560
pulled on the doors to find they were locked. Miss Decker,

1220
01:24:57.840 --> 01:25:02.640
you in there, Randy called out, no response. Just then

1221
01:25:02.800 --> 01:25:05.439
Randy turned to see Cameron had picked up a trash

1222
01:25:05.479 --> 01:25:10.319
can and was breaking the glass to access a fire axe.

1223
01:25:10.800 --> 01:25:14.760
What are you doing? You never know? Cameron lowered the

1224
01:25:14.800 --> 01:25:18.319
can and handed the axe to him. Anyway, they'll think

1225
01:25:18.399 --> 01:25:22.640
Ronnie Brunswick did it. Randy accepted the axe and worked

1226
01:25:22.640 --> 01:25:25.960
one of the gymnasium doors open with it. Cameron held

1227
01:25:26.000 --> 01:25:30.600
the door open before following Randy inside. They both gasped

1228
01:25:30.600 --> 01:25:37.399
at what they saw. Oh my God, Cameron choked. Jesus.

1229
01:25:38.079 --> 01:25:43.199
Randy uttered with equal horror. Suddenly, the ghost of Lilian

1230
01:25:43.319 --> 01:25:49.079
Johanson was blocking the gymnasium doors. I'm so happy you

1231
01:25:49.199 --> 01:25:55.319
two finally arrived. Do something, Randy, Cameron cried. Then the

1232
01:25:55.359 --> 01:25:58.439
ghost reached out and snatched the axe away from him.

1233
01:25:59.000 --> 01:26:03.079
When they stepped back, Lilian laughed, It's time you two

1234
01:26:03.159 --> 01:26:11.960
got ready. The other guests will be here soon. Derek

1235
01:26:12.000 --> 01:26:14.640
and Ronnie entered the high school through the main doors.

1236
01:26:15.199 --> 01:26:18.359
Derek had a baseball bat and Ronnie had a tire iron.

1237
01:26:19.439 --> 01:26:24.000
Nobody's here, Ronnie observed. And why are them doors unlocked?

1238
01:26:24.960 --> 01:26:28.720
Probably how whoever got miss Decker got in, Derek guessed.

1239
01:26:29.359 --> 01:26:34.479
Then Ronnie raised her finger. You hearing that, Derek listened.

1240
01:26:35.840 --> 01:26:39.319
Sounds like it's coming from the gym. They moved to

1241
01:26:39.359 --> 01:26:42.920
the telltale doors. Ronnie grabbed one of the handles and

1242
01:26:43.039 --> 01:26:47.279
was careful in opening it. She went in first, Derek

1243
01:26:47.359 --> 01:26:51.920
followed close behind. They both gasped in utter horror at

1244
01:26:51.920 --> 01:26:56.600
the appalling sight now before them. Ronnie looked at Derek,

1245
01:26:57.520 --> 01:27:02.319
What the fucking mother fucking fuck. Derek shook his head quickly.

1246
01:27:03.720 --> 01:27:07.399
I don't believe what I'm seeing either, Ronnie. The gymnasium

1247
01:27:08.279 --> 01:27:12.079
resembled a school dance. A stage was set up with

1248
01:27:12.119 --> 01:27:16.199
a banner over it that had Strickfield High School prom

1249
01:27:16.600 --> 01:27:22.560
across it in Runnie blood red lettering. Across from the

1250
01:27:22.600 --> 01:27:26.520
stage was the djay station with a vinyl record playing

1251
01:27:26.560 --> 01:27:30.560
over the speakers. Tables and chairs were set up around

1252
01:27:30.600 --> 01:27:35.279
the walls, with refreshment's tables placed at different points. Several

1253
01:27:35.399 --> 01:27:41.199
dead rotting corpses were seated at their tables. More corpses

1254
01:27:41.239 --> 01:27:45.399
were on the dance floor, propped up to resemble couples dancing.

1255
01:27:46.439 --> 01:27:50.079
Another corpse was at the DJ's station. All of them

1256
01:27:50.079 --> 01:27:55.439
were dressed formally for this event, but it was what

1257
01:27:55.520 --> 01:27:59.600
was on the stage itself that had truly horrified Ronnie

1258
01:27:59.640 --> 01:28:03.640
and Dare. Several of their former classmates were on it,

1259
01:28:04.600 --> 01:28:08.439
and they were also dressed up like the other bodies,

1260
01:28:08.520 --> 01:28:12.479
They were also quite dead. All of the female bodies

1261
01:28:12.479 --> 01:28:16.760
were formally clad in prom dresses. Their male dates were

1262
01:28:16.800 --> 01:28:20.640
wearing tuxedos and were positioned and propped up to stand

1263
01:28:20.720 --> 01:28:24.479
directly behind them clearly they were made up to look

1264
01:28:24.560 --> 01:28:32.279
like the prom queen's court. Jesus Fuck Lilian Johansson, Ronnie choked.

1265
01:28:33.239 --> 01:28:37.520
Lilian Johansson was indeed sitting at the center of her

1266
01:28:37.600 --> 01:28:41.800
court on a throne. Though she had been dead for

1267
01:28:41.840 --> 01:28:45.359
far longer than the others on stage, she still looked

1268
01:28:45.600 --> 01:28:52.840
amazingly preserved, with absolutely no signs of decay or blemishes whatsoever.

1269
01:28:53.920 --> 01:28:57.079
Even Lilian's dress looked the same as it was before

1270
01:28:57.119 --> 01:29:01.640
her murder. From left to right, the first seat was

1271
01:29:01.720 --> 01:29:06.439
Cameron Johansson with Bill Baxter behind her. The second seat

1272
01:29:06.479 --> 01:29:11.600
was Regal Fairlane with Austin Zachary behind her. The center seat,

1273
01:29:12.199 --> 01:29:16.439
the throne, had Lilian Johansson sitting in it, with Randy

1274
01:29:16.520 --> 01:29:21.680
Ullery behind her. The fourth seat had Primrose Miren with

1275
01:29:21.800 --> 01:29:26.239
Samuel Wormton behind her. Only the fifth and final seat

1276
01:29:26.359 --> 01:29:31.079
was empty, with no male companion standing behind it. At

1277
01:29:31.119 --> 01:29:34.600
the center of the stage was a microphone. Next to

1278
01:29:34.680 --> 01:29:38.880
it was a stand where a crown rested. Leaning on

1279
01:29:38.920 --> 01:29:42.279
the stand was a long scepter with a sash hanging

1280
01:29:42.319 --> 01:29:47.159
on it. The sash read Strickfield High School prom Queen.

1281
01:29:48.039 --> 01:29:52.920
Also in Runnie blood red lettering. We got to call

1282
01:29:52.960 --> 01:30:00.720
the police, Ronnie, Derek said. Suddenly the music stopped. Then

1283
01:30:00.800 --> 01:30:05.359
the lovers heard the sounds of horrible, evil laughter and

1284
01:30:05.439 --> 01:30:10.119
turned to see the glowing, ghostly form of Lily and

1285
01:30:10.239 --> 01:30:15.039
Johansen blocking the gymnasium doors. I'm so happy you could

1286
01:30:15.079 --> 01:30:18.960
join my prom the ghost said, you need to get

1287
01:30:19.000 --> 01:30:22.520
gussied up and join my court on stage. The final

1288
01:30:22.560 --> 01:30:26.880
place is reserved just for the two of you. Ronnie

1289
01:30:26.960 --> 01:30:31.640
raised the tire iron. Get fucked, she cried out as

1290
01:30:31.680 --> 01:30:35.159
she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck. Suddenly,

1291
01:30:35.239 --> 01:30:39.600
Ronnie was quite sleepy and sank to her knees fast,

1292
01:30:40.560 --> 01:30:55.600
and then blackness enfolded her. Ronnie awakened to find herself

1293
01:30:55.680 --> 01:30:59.880
tied to a chair on stage. Another slow song was playing.

1294
01:31:00.479 --> 01:31:02.880
She looked down to see she was now clad in

1295
01:31:03.000 --> 01:31:07.079
formal prom attire herself. She also felt her face had

1296
01:31:07.079 --> 01:31:09.800
been touched up with make up. She looked up to

1297
01:31:09.800 --> 01:31:13.319
see Dereck dressed in a tuxedo and secured to her

1298
01:31:13.439 --> 01:31:17.439
chair as her prom date, the ghost of Lilian Johanson

1299
01:31:17.479 --> 01:31:20.560
approached the stage and stood in front of it. She

1300
01:31:20.680 --> 01:31:24.439
clapped her hands in front of her simply perfect, I

1301
01:31:24.600 --> 01:31:28.439
do so love a great show, but this is the

1302
01:31:28.960 --> 01:31:34.439
absolute perfect prom. The ghost laughed as she moved her

1303
01:31:34.479 --> 01:31:39.000
hand up to her hair and easily removed it. Then

1304
01:31:39.640 --> 01:31:43.119
she removed the outer layer of her glowing face to

1305
01:31:43.239 --> 01:31:49.359
reveal her real one underneath. Now Ronnie and Derek easily

1306
01:31:49.399 --> 01:31:56.079
recognized Miss Decker. Derek uttered in surprise. You gotta be

1307
01:31:56.159 --> 01:32:01.439
kidding me. Ronnie was just as shocked. Fucking sick bitch,

1308
01:32:01.960 --> 01:32:10.439
I mean, why why, Devin fired back. My Lilian never

1309
01:32:10.520 --> 01:32:13.840
got to have her prom. You have no idea how

1310
01:32:13.920 --> 01:32:17.319
long my baby girls waited for this night. A girl

1311
01:32:17.359 --> 01:32:20.840
only gets two proms in high school. Lilian was going

1312
01:32:20.880 --> 01:32:24.159
to win the Junior class prom queen crown. It doesn't

1313
01:32:24.199 --> 01:32:27.279
carry the same prestige as the senior class crown, but

1314
01:32:27.359 --> 01:32:29.840
it gets you an automatic nomination for it at next

1315
01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:33.560
year's prom. My Lilian would have also won the senior

1316
01:32:33.600 --> 01:32:38.319
crown and be tapped by a major college sorority. Lilian

1317
01:32:38.640 --> 01:32:41.560
would have been leaving Strickfield to move on to bigger

1318
01:32:41.760 --> 01:32:46.800
and better things. Doesn't every mother want that for her baby.

1319
01:32:47.880 --> 01:32:51.439
You ain't her fucking mom, Ronnie stated, matter of factly.

1320
01:32:52.600 --> 01:32:58.079
I seen Lilian's parents before. Devin smirked I'm sure you have.

1321
01:32:59.000 --> 01:33:01.840
My younger sister was never a good mother to Lilian.

1322
01:33:02.840 --> 01:33:06.359
Like her, I had two kids of my own, Unlike her,

1323
01:33:06.520 --> 01:33:10.319
I devoted my life and attention to them, raised them right.

1324
01:33:11.079 --> 01:33:13.600
They're both out of the house now and made something

1325
01:33:13.600 --> 01:33:18.319
of themselves. Seeing how Lilian was neglected even by Cameron,

1326
01:33:18.399 --> 01:33:21.600
her older sister, I sued for custody of Lilian and

1327
01:33:21.680 --> 01:33:25.960
one Lilian had a much better life with me. After

1328
01:33:26.000 --> 01:33:29.520
seeing my prom pictures, Lilian told me she wanted to

1329
01:33:29.560 --> 01:33:34.119
go more than anything, especially when she told me she

1330
01:33:34.119 --> 01:33:39.279
had been nominated for the junior class prom Queen Crown. Naturally,

1331
01:33:39.600 --> 01:33:42.079
I got Lilian ready and made her as beautiful as

1332
01:33:42.079 --> 01:33:45.720
she was ever going to be. Devon gestured to the stage.

1333
01:33:46.520 --> 01:33:50.119
Makeup and special effects were two of my greatest attributes.

1334
01:33:51.000 --> 01:33:53.520
That's what got me my job here at Strickfield High

1335
01:33:53.520 --> 01:33:57.039
as the drama instructor. Amazing what I could do with

1336
01:33:57.119 --> 01:34:00.239
a little makeup, a mask, a wig with a built

1337
01:34:00.319 --> 01:34:05.119
in voice reverberator, and lots of luminescent bass that I

1338
01:34:05.199 --> 01:34:10.520
created myself. But my greatest achievement was recreating the prom

1339
01:34:12.279 --> 01:34:16.840
just for my Lilian. Yeah, by making a new prom

1340
01:34:16.960 --> 01:34:22.760
from hell Ronnie fired back, congradu a fucking lations. Devin

1341
01:34:22.800 --> 01:34:26.359
revealed a gun and aimed it at her. Don't you

1342
01:34:26.479 --> 01:34:30.159
test me, you degenerate. I really don't want to kill

1343
01:34:30.199 --> 01:34:34.640
you or your boyfriend. Besides having you two appreciate my work,

1344
01:34:35.119 --> 01:34:39.079
you both complete the queen's court. She lowered the gun.

1345
01:34:40.039 --> 01:34:44.880
Wouldn't you agree, Randy? Both Ronnie and Derek gasped when

1346
01:34:44.920 --> 01:34:49.279
they saw Randy Ullery move out from behind Lilian. So

1347
01:34:49.399 --> 01:34:51.760
it was you who shot and dope Derek and me,

1348
01:34:52.520 --> 01:34:57.199
Ronnie growled, just like I did to Samuel Wormton. Randy

1349
01:34:57.239 --> 01:35:01.239
assured her only what I shot him with was poison.

1350
01:35:02.000 --> 01:35:05.520
You and Derek got a tranquilizer. He walked down to

1351
01:35:05.560 --> 01:35:08.840
the floor to join his partner. I help Devon with

1352
01:35:08.880 --> 01:35:12.680
assembling her amazing recreation of prom night.

1353
01:35:12.760 --> 01:35:12.960
You know.

1354
01:35:14.079 --> 01:35:19.119
Derek glanced down at Ronnie. You oka, hun. Ronnie rolled

1355
01:35:19.119 --> 01:35:23.520
her eyes. Fuck no, we're surrounded by dead people. There's

1356
01:35:23.560 --> 01:35:26.640
two whack jobs in front of us, and I'm wearing

1357
01:35:26.760 --> 01:35:31.960
a fucking dress. So you two killed everybody up here

1358
01:35:31.960 --> 01:35:37.399
to make a court for Lilian. Derek asked, you even

1359
01:35:37.399 --> 01:35:39.840
managed to get all those other bodies out there in here?

1360
01:35:40.600 --> 01:35:44.479
You do understand Lillian can't really appreciate all this right,

1361
01:35:45.960 --> 01:35:48.720
Since Lillian can only win her crown and have her

1362
01:35:48.760 --> 01:35:51.439
prom and death, I figured that might as well be

1363
01:35:51.600 --> 01:35:57.560
the theme. Devin cheered. Then she became angry again. Laure

1364
01:35:57.720 --> 01:36:02.760
Y Hardy took Lillian that night in cold blood. Lilian

1365
01:36:02.880 --> 01:36:06.199
just wanted to be a prom queen like me, and

1366
01:36:06.359 --> 01:36:10.520
Laura Lee Hardy wouldn't even let her have that. People

1367
01:36:10.600 --> 01:36:13.279
only remember Lillian as being one of the prom queen

1368
01:36:13.359 --> 01:36:16.840
killer's victims from the prom from Hell. I can't let

1369
01:36:16.880 --> 01:36:21.840
Lilian have that legacy, can I, Devin gestured to Randy.

1370
01:36:23.079 --> 01:36:26.159
He never got over her death either, and was too

1371
01:36:26.239 --> 01:36:30.079
eager to help me put all of this together. Unfortunately,

1372
01:36:30.239 --> 01:36:33.199
not all the original prom queen candidates from the junior

1373
01:36:33.239 --> 01:36:36.600
class are up there. Turns out Laura Lee Hardy killed

1374
01:36:36.640 --> 01:36:40.720
them that night. Only Primrose Miron was left, who was

1375
01:36:40.800 --> 01:36:44.439
nominated with Lilian. But we can't have a complete court

1376
01:36:44.600 --> 01:36:48.039
with only a few of the candidates, so we made

1377
01:36:48.039 --> 01:36:52.680
a few more nominations, if you will, and now you

1378
01:36:52.800 --> 01:36:58.560
and Ronda are a welcome addition to Lilian's court. Ronnie

1379
01:36:58.560 --> 01:37:04.359
looked at Randy, Why fucking kill Cameron wasn't she or Honey,

1380
01:37:05.479 --> 01:37:09.000
that's what I wanted her to think, Randy replied, But

1381
01:37:09.079 --> 01:37:11.720
all she ever did was abuse Lilian and keep her

1382
01:37:11.760 --> 01:37:14.680
under her shadow. I had to show Cameron the air

1383
01:37:14.800 --> 01:37:19.239
of her ways by putting a bullet right through her heart.

1384
01:37:19.520 --> 01:37:22.039
I'm surprised that bitch even had one with how she

1385
01:37:22.159 --> 01:37:26.800
treated Lillian when she was alive. Ronnie shook her head slowly.

1386
01:37:27.760 --> 01:37:32.199
People say I'm a fucking crazy, sick bitch, but you two,

1387
01:37:32.399 --> 01:37:35.159
oh you guys make me look as sane as my boyfriend.

1388
01:37:36.239 --> 01:37:37.560
Devin waved the gun.

1389
01:37:38.239 --> 01:37:42.640
You just keep talking, Ronda, talk while you still can.

1390
01:37:43.079 --> 01:37:46.520
You mentioned the prom from hell. You're going to get

1391
01:37:46.520 --> 01:37:52.600
a real prom from hell very soon, Randy. I think

1392
01:37:52.600 --> 01:37:54.960
it's best for you to get the ball rolling now.

1393
01:37:56.159 --> 01:38:01.399
Randy glanced her way. Ain't you forgetting something? Devin quickly

1394
01:38:01.479 --> 01:38:06.119
raised her finger. Oh, you're absolutely right, Randy. We can't

1395
01:38:06.159 --> 01:38:10.520
officially have Lillian's coronation without the Master of ceremonies himself,

1396
01:38:10.920 --> 01:38:11.359
can we?

1397
01:38:12.199 --> 01:38:12.520
Yes?

1398
01:38:12.920 --> 01:38:16.760
Go? Randy went out of sight for a moment and

1399
01:38:16.920 --> 01:38:21.159
returned with Principal Matthew Van Deist, dressed in his own tuxedo.

1400
01:38:22.159 --> 01:38:26.079
He was tied and gagged. All the doors are locked

1401
01:38:26.119 --> 01:38:30.920
up tight, Devin said, Randy, untie, mister van Deste.

1402
01:38:31.000 --> 01:38:31.319
Please.

1403
01:38:32.119 --> 01:38:35.319
When Principal van Deiste was free and saw this prom

1404
01:38:35.439 --> 01:38:37.960
Night of the Dead, he felt ready to fall to

1405
01:38:38.000 --> 01:38:42.399
his knees and vomit. Randy held him up. Don't you dare,

1406
01:38:43.359 --> 01:38:46.880
Devin waved the gun. Everything's all set up on stage

1407
01:38:46.880 --> 01:38:49.880
for you, mister van dest you have a very important

1408
01:38:49.880 --> 01:38:56.239
coronation to conduct regarding Lilian. Go on up, please. Principal

1409
01:38:56.319 --> 01:38:59.439
van Deist reluctantly walked up on the stage and was

1410
01:38:59.479 --> 01:39:03.119
soon stayed at the microphone. Then he gave Ronnie and

1411
01:39:03.159 --> 01:39:07.880
Derek a sympathetic look. Now he looked at just Ronnie

1412
01:39:07.920 --> 01:39:12.159
and gave her an odd look. Really, Van Deste, you

1413
01:39:12.199 --> 01:39:15.359
gotta stare at my fucking tits right now, Ronnie yelled,

1414
01:39:16.039 --> 01:39:21.279
face front, mister van Deste, Devin snapped. Principal van Deste

1415
01:39:21.319 --> 01:39:24.199
was scared as hell, but he cleared his throat and

1416
01:39:24.239 --> 01:39:28.760
began reciting his yearly speech for crowning the prom Queen. However,

1417
01:39:29.159 --> 01:39:33.439
he knew something that both Devon and Randy didn't. Ronnie

1418
01:39:33.479 --> 01:39:36.359
was cutting through the zip tie that bound her wrists

1419
01:39:36.399 --> 01:39:40.359
with a switchblade. When Ronnie was being dressed for prom.

1420
01:39:40.880 --> 01:39:45.039
She was never thoroughly searched. She had two switchblades cleverly

1421
01:39:45.119 --> 01:39:50.359
concealed inside her spiked leather cufflets. Ronnie only gave Principal

1422
01:39:50.399 --> 01:39:53.039
Van dest a hard time to keep him from accidentally

1423
01:39:53.079 --> 01:39:57.199
giving her away. When Ronnie finished cutting through and breaking

1424
01:39:57.239 --> 01:40:00.680
her zip tie, she worked on cutting Derrick's. When he

1425
01:40:00.880 --> 01:40:04.520
was free, the lovers looked at one another and knew

1426
01:40:05.079 --> 01:40:08.920
they were going to make their last stand here and now.

1427
01:40:10.479 --> 01:40:16.159
They looked ahead and shot forward. Fuck you, Ronnie screamed,

1428
01:40:16.359 --> 01:40:19.399
interrupting Van Deiste's crucial moment when he was about to

1429
01:40:19.479 --> 01:40:24.760
name Lily and Johansson the prom queen. No, Devin shouted

1430
01:40:24.800 --> 01:40:28.640
in surprise. Ronnie and Derek leaped off the stage. Ronnie's

1431
01:40:28.640 --> 01:40:31.319
shoes dropped off her feet before she punched Devon on

1432
01:40:31.359 --> 01:40:34.479
her landing. Devin dropped the gun as a result, but

1433
01:40:34.680 --> 01:40:37.800
Randy was able to beat Derek to it. He pointed

1434
01:40:37.800 --> 01:40:42.840
it right at Derek, then on Ronnie, and then back again. No,

1435
01:40:43.720 --> 01:40:46.600
Randy shouted, you drop those knives and get back in

1436
01:40:46.680 --> 01:40:49.119
your places. More so, help me God, I will shoot

1437
01:40:49.159 --> 01:40:52.880
you both. When Randy waved the gun at them, The

1438
01:40:52.960 --> 01:40:55.640
lovers reluctantly did as they were told and went back

1439
01:40:55.760 --> 01:40:59.960
up on stage. After retaking their positions, Randy pointed the

1440
01:41:00.159 --> 01:41:06.800
gun at Principal van Dest finish the ceremony please. Principal

1441
01:41:06.880 --> 01:41:10.159
van Dest was about to resume when he saw Randy

1442
01:41:10.199 --> 01:41:12.680
pull a large gasoline can out from under one of

1443
01:41:12.680 --> 01:41:17.039
the refreshment's tables. Randy removed the cap and started slashing

1444
01:41:17.039 --> 01:41:21.760
the gasoline around. Once Lilian's crowned prom Queen and I'm

1445
01:41:21.800 --> 01:41:27.359
back on stage, then we'll truly have the prom from Hell,

1446
01:41:28.079 --> 01:41:30.479
and you three get to be a part of it.

1447
01:41:31.920 --> 01:41:37.000
And then suddenly a gunshot was heard. A moment later,

1448
01:41:37.800 --> 01:41:41.960
Randy fell over. The three survivors on stage saw the

1449
01:41:42.000 --> 01:41:45.319
bullet hole in the side of Randy's head. Then they

1450
01:41:45.359 --> 01:41:50.159
saw that Devon had a second gun. I guess you

1451
01:41:50.239 --> 01:41:54.000
and I think alike, Ronda Devin said. Then she picked

1452
01:41:54.039 --> 01:41:57.159
up the gasoline can. I couldn't let Randy be with

1453
01:41:57.279 --> 01:42:00.880
Lilian and death, could I. He didn't even care enough

1454
01:42:00.920 --> 01:42:03.319
about her in life to keep Laura Lee Hardy from

1455
01:42:03.399 --> 01:42:07.640
viciously killing her two months ago. She poured the gasoline

1456
01:42:07.680 --> 01:42:12.920
on his body and set it on fire. You can

1457
01:42:12.960 --> 01:42:18.560
burn right here and now Randy alone. Then she pointed

1458
01:42:18.560 --> 01:42:23.840
the gun at Principal van Deste. Finish the ceremony, crown

1459
01:42:23.920 --> 01:42:28.560
Lily and prom queen. Now, Principal van Des turned to

1460
01:42:28.560 --> 01:42:32.800
face Ronnie, looking directly at her endowed up her body again.

1461
01:42:33.680 --> 01:42:38.560
Ronnie immediately noticed and became angry. Stop staring at my tits,

1462
01:42:38.560 --> 01:42:43.079
you fucking pervert. She yelled, come here and make me Ronda.

1463
01:42:43.640 --> 01:42:47.600
Van dest challenged her. Ronnie growled and rushed him. Van

1464
01:42:47.680 --> 01:42:50.760
Des surprised Ronnie by snatching her to him. He held

1465
01:42:50.800 --> 01:42:54.640
her close as he kissed her on the lips. Hey

1466
01:42:55.199 --> 01:42:59.760
Derek yelled, let her go. I mean it, mister van Deste,

1467
01:43:00.039 --> 01:43:04.000
I will shoot you, Devin shouted as Principal van Deste

1468
01:43:04.039 --> 01:43:07.840
continued to kiss Ronnie. Only Derek was now seeing the

1469
01:43:07.920 --> 01:43:11.560
Principal slipping one of the switchblades he had previously confiscated

1470
01:43:11.600 --> 01:43:17.319
from Ronnie into her hand. Ronnie now understood that Van

1471
01:43:17.399 --> 01:43:21.479
Deste was trying to help her by giving her one

1472
01:43:21.600 --> 01:43:26.000
last chance. Ronnie brought the switchblade to life and stepped

1473
01:43:26.000 --> 01:43:29.720
away from Principal van Deste. She ran fast and jumped

1474
01:43:29.720 --> 01:43:33.399
off the stage again. Devon cried out and fired her

1475
01:43:33.439 --> 01:43:38.359
gun as Ronnie threw her switchblade. Devon had missed, but

1476
01:43:38.479 --> 01:43:44.000
Ronnie didn't. The blade sunk deep into Devon's head, making

1477
01:43:44.039 --> 01:43:49.640
her stagger before she dropped the gun and fell. After

1478
01:43:49.720 --> 01:43:53.920
Principal van Deste extinguished Randy's body, the survivors went to

1479
01:43:53.960 --> 01:43:58.479
the main office and called the police. The prom Knight

1480
01:43:58.520 --> 01:44:04.159
of the Dead was officially over. As with the prom

1481
01:44:04.199 --> 01:44:09.359
from Hell two months prior, no candidate was officially crowned

1482
01:44:09.920 --> 01:44:10.880
prom Queen.

1483
01:44:14.399 --> 01:44:15.319
Epilogue.

1484
01:44:15.600 --> 01:44:21.479
Saturday morning, Summer school was finally over. Today was a

1485
01:44:21.479 --> 01:44:25.880
special commencement ceremony in the little Theater. Ronnie couldn't believe

1486
01:44:25.960 --> 01:44:30.840
she was wearing a cap and gown. It actually felt wonderful,

1487
01:44:31.920 --> 01:44:34.840
and she smiled as Principal van Deist handed her her

1488
01:44:34.840 --> 01:44:39.159
diploma while shaking her hand. She watched as Derek received his.

1489
01:44:40.279 --> 01:44:44.159
Ronnie graduated and would remain free, though she still had

1490
01:44:44.159 --> 01:44:47.119
to do her community service and settle up with Principal

1491
01:44:47.199 --> 01:44:50.239
van Deste for the vandalism she had done to his house.

1492
01:44:50.960 --> 01:44:54.000
Derek wouldn't have to return for his senior year since

1493
01:44:54.039 --> 01:44:57.760
now he had all the academic credits he needed. Ronnie

1494
01:44:57.760 --> 01:45:00.920
couldn't believe she was really going to do this, but

1495
01:45:01.159 --> 01:45:05.439
she approached Principal van Deste and hugged him. Van Deiste

1496
01:45:05.560 --> 01:45:09.039
was beside himself for a moment before he hugged her back.

1497
01:45:10.199 --> 01:45:17.680
Thank you, she said, and I'm sorry about everything. When

1498
01:45:17.720 --> 01:45:20.319
they came apart, they looked at each other with their

1499
01:45:20.359 --> 01:45:25.319
new respect. When the special commencement ceremony was finished, Principal

1500
01:45:25.399 --> 01:45:29.479
van Deste dismissed everyone. Derek and Ronnie were at his truck,

1501
01:45:29.760 --> 01:45:33.479
where they shared a long celebratory kiss at finally being

1502
01:45:33.560 --> 01:45:37.640
free of their academic obligations. When they finished their kiss,

1503
01:45:38.119 --> 01:45:41.800
Ronnie saw Principal van Deste coming out through the main doors.

1504
01:45:42.319 --> 01:45:46.119
Then the lovers looked at each other. Derek nodded once

1505
01:45:46.399 --> 01:45:51.159
as Ronnie smirked mischievously. She turned to look at the principal,

1506
01:45:51.840 --> 01:45:56.680
Hey van Deiste. When the principal looked her way, Ronnie

1507
01:45:56.720 --> 01:46:00.439
quickly unzipped and opened her gown to both flash and

1508
01:46:00.680 --> 01:46:05.880
shake her naked body Happily. Principal van dest gasped before

1509
01:46:05.880 --> 01:46:10.239
he smirked and shook his head slowly. Ronnie closed her

1510
01:46:10.279 --> 01:46:13.640
gown back up and got into Derreck's truck. From there,

1511
01:46:14.119 --> 01:46:18.760
the lovers left Strickfield High School for possibly the last time.

1512
01:46:19.880 --> 01:46:22.680
Ronnie knew she would catch hell from Principal Van Deste

1513
01:46:22.680 --> 01:46:25.520
for flashing him when she agreed to start working odd

1514
01:46:25.640 --> 01:46:28.439
jobs at his house the following week to square what

1515
01:46:28.479 --> 01:46:29.960
she owed him for her vandalism.

1516
01:46:30.880 --> 01:46:31.640
She didn't care.

1517
01:46:32.600 --> 01:46:35.720
She was free now. She was leaving her former life

1518
01:46:35.800 --> 01:46:38.840
behind her to be with Derek and work with him

1519
01:46:38.880 --> 01:46:42.640
on his father's farm, making an honest living and learning

1520
01:46:42.640 --> 01:46:47.159
a new trade. One year later, Derek would marry Ronnie

1521
01:46:47.880 --> 01:46:50.640
As for the prom Knight of the Dead. It would

1522
01:46:50.680 --> 01:46:55.039
be yet another Strickfield story among the many that people

1523
01:46:55.079 --> 01:47:01.960
would tell around Halloween, around campfires, and of course always

1524
01:47:02.880 --> 01:47:11.840
on prom Night. Well, my spookies, it's time to end

1525
01:47:11.920 --> 01:47:14.239
our dance with death for tonight.

1526
