High school stories
You dash back inside your room, slamming the door on their faces. You struggle to find the lock in the darkness, so you turn on your flashlight. Kate is sitting up inside the room, gaping at you, as your performance continues. She finally understands that you are trying to find the lock to the door.
"Alex?" she says softly. You don't have time for this, but you hastily listen.
"There is no lock on these doors."
Your heart stops beating.

"You can't run, Alex, and you can't hide." Ethan's cool voice penetrates the hardwood door.
You press up against the door, trying to forbid them from entering. But Ethan is way stronger than you.
As he corners you in your own dormitory, he softly asks Emma to go back to their room, and that he'd come back after settling things here. "How dare you?" he says quietly. You never knew Ethan would go this far.
You glance up at Kate, who is bewildered and trying to get a word in.
But before she can, a fist races its way toward your face.
