Blinking her eyes rapidly, she turned the corner to head down the hallway that led to the cafeteria, hearing noises up ahead.
She guessed that someone else went to the cafeteria for something. She wasn't perplexed until she heard crying. Slowing her steps, she tried to listen to the noises sounding from the cafeteria.
"Please no!" a girl's shout burst from the cafeteria, followed by blunt thumps and screams.
Melina froze for a few seconds, unable to get her feet to move as she stared ahead in shock and fear. She had no idea what was going on, but it sounded horrifying.
She heard more noise up ahead, and it sounded like other students came to the girl's aid. Gathering what courage she had, Melina walked to the cafeteria, peering inside to look at the scene.
A girl laid on the floor near a few overturned tables and chairs. Blood dripped from her nose and various wounds all over her body.
