DIANE D The Musical Drama - Volume 1 - Part 2

Marcus remains in the middle of the dark, dim school hallway puzzled looking down the edge of the school hallway at Diane D. He sees her still standing way down in the darkness not moving or doing anything. He calls out to her, “Are you okay Diane D?! Are you okay?!” Marcus does not hear Diane D answering. He continues to look down the edge of the dark, dim school hallway at Diane D. He calls out to her again, “Are you okay Diane D?! Are you okay?!” Marcus still does not hear Diane D answering. He still does not see her doing anything. He then asks, “Aren’t you going to say anything Diane D?! Aren’t going to say anything?!” Marcus still does not hear Diane D responding. He then shouts to her, “Please say something Diane D! Say anything!” Marcus still sees Diane D not responding. He then says, “Okay Diane D, now that you know the truth about the little boy who has leukemia, I think I should go now!” Marcus slowly gets from off the wall. He slowly starts to walk down the long, dark, dim school hallway towards the edge of the corner where Diane D is. He starts to get closer to the edge of the corner. He then says, “Now that I got this confession off my chest Diane D, I’m going to leave now.” He continues to walk down the dark school hallway.

  Marcus is getting closer to the corner of the school hallway where Diane D is. He becomes nervous. He then says, “Okay, I gotta go now Diane D.” Marcus continues to walk slowly down the dark, dim school hallway towards the edge of the corner. He starts to get closer to the edge of the corner.

  Marcus is now close to the corner of the school hallway where Diane D is. He stops and nervously pauses for a few seconds. He nervously looks at Diane D.

  Diane D is still just standing there completely still like a mannequin, not moving at all as her angry eyes remain fixed on Marcus.

  Marcus nervously looks his eyeballs away from Diane D and says, “Okay Diane D, I gotta go now. See you later. Good bye.” Marcus is about to hurry around the corner pass Diane D.

  Suddenly, Diane D moves and quickly steps right into Marcus’ path blocking his way.

  Marcus quickly steps back and backs away as he puzzled looks at Diane D.

  The look of anger that was on Diane D’s face has disappeared as she stands there giving Marcus a firm hard stare having no expression on her face as her eyes suddenly appear puffier.

  Marcus becomes shocked. He then becomes frightened. He continues to back away. He nervously looks at Diane D again. He then says to her, “I have to get home to my family Diane D. If I don’t get home to my family, they’re gonna start looking for me, so, I have to go now. Bye.” Marcus stops and nervously pauses for a few seconds again. He starts to hurry around the corner on the other side of Diane D.

  Diane D turns and quickly steps right into Marcus’ path blocking his way again!

  Marcus quickly steps back and backs away again as he shockingly looks at Diane D.

  Diane D stands there blocking Marcus’ path again giving him a cold hard stare still having no expression on her face as her eyes remain puffier.

  Marcus becomes more frightened. He starts to tremble. He continues to back away as he nervously looks at Diane D. He nervously says, “What do you want from me Diane D? I said I was sorry. What do you want?” Marcus then stops as he nervously says, “Do you want me to confess to your family? Is that what it is? You want me to tell your family the truth about the little boy who has leukemia? Okay, I have no problem with that. I can go confess to your family. So come on. Let’s go to the principal’s office so I can confess to your family right now.” Marcus slowly starts to walk towards the corner of the hallway again. He nervously pauses again. Then he starts to run on the other side of Diane D again!

  Diane D turns again and quickly steps right into Marcus’ path again blocking his way again!

  Marcus quickly steps back and backs away again as he puzzled looks at Diane D. He is about to cry a little as he continues to back away. He stops again and nervously says, “Okay Diane D. If you don’t want me to confess to your family about the little boy who has leukemia, at least let me go by. I have to get home to my family. So no matter what happens, I’m determined to go pass you.” Marcus frighteningly pauses for a few seconds. He suddenly runs towards the other side of Diane D again!

  Diane D turns again and quickly steps right into Marcus’ path again as she jumps and tries to stomp on his feet, but Marcus quickly steps back causing Diane D to miss his feet as her foot stomps hard on the floor! Marcus quickly backs away, shockingly looking at Diane D again.

  Diane D stands there firmly staring at Marcus as her eyes remain puffier!

  Marcus continues to back away. He cries a little as he backs away. He then stops and nervously says, “I have to be with my family Diane D! They’re gonna come looking for me! Your family is gonna come look for you too! I have to get home to my family!” Marcus frighteningly pauses for a few seconds again. He suddenly runs towards the corner and tries to run on the other side of Diane D again!

  Diane D turns again and quickly steps right into Marcus’ path again! She jumps, quickly spins her entire body around and kung-fu kicks Marcus, throwing his body hard against the wall near the corner of the hallway as he screams out in pain, “Aaaaah!” Marcus falls to the floor and quickly holds his right arm and hand in agony! “Aaaaah,” he screams out again. He writhes on the floor in pain and starts to cry! He painfully leans up against the wall and shockingly looks at Diane D again as he tightly holds onto his right arm and wrist! He then looks at his right arm and wrist. He sees that his right arm and wrist are bent backwards! He becomes shocked and screams out, “Aaaaah! Oh my God!” He shockingly looks back at Diane D! He realizes that she has broken his arm and wrist! He cannot believe what she has done! He shockingly stares at Diane D!

  Diane D just stands there firmly staring at Marcus showing no emotion.

  Marcus continues to shockingly stare at Diane D. He sees that she is not playing. He looks back at his broken arm and wrist and shouts, “Oh my God!” He tightly holds his right arm and wrist in pain again and screams out, “Aaaaah!” He shockingly looks back at Diane D. He leans from off the wall near the corner of the hallway and slowly backs away from her! He backs further away towards the middle of the long dark hallway shockingly looking at Diane D as he nods his head in disbelief. He nervously turns his head away from Diane D and looks towards the end of the hallway where the large window and exit sign that leads to the back stairwell are. He turns his head back forward and frighteningly looks back at Diane D. He nervously turns his head back around and looks back towards the end of the hallway again as he continues to back away from Diane D.

  Marcus turns his head back forward and looks back at Diane D who is now standing several yards away from him. He suddenly stops and pauses for a few seconds. He takes a quick look at Diane D, then he quickly turns around and dashes the other way!

  Suddenly, Diane D gives chase and charges after Marcus! She chases Marcus down the dark school hallway!

  Marcus tries to run for the stairwell exit at the end of the hallway!

  Diane D quickly catches up to Marcus, then she jumps and flips her entire body into a horizontal position and drop-kicks Marcus with both feet hard across his back, knocking his small body down hard to the floor! “Aaaaah!” Marcus screams as his body rolls down the hallway!

  Several yards away, Diane D’s body lands face down on the floor with her feet towards Marcus!

  Marcus’ body comes to a stop several yards away as he screams out, “Aaaaah!” He tightly holds himself as he writhes on the floor in agony and screams out, “Aaaah!” He starts to cry hard! He screams as he painfully turns his body over!

  As Diane D’s body lays face down on the floor, she quickly turns her body over face up towards the ceiling. Her torso suddenly jerks up then she kicks both her legs high up into the air and leaps her entire body off the floor quickly jumping to her feet! She then takes a stand as she firmly looks at Marcus!

/>   Marcus continues to writhe on the floor in agony as he screams, “Aaaaaahhh!” He slowly and painfully lifts his head up off the floor as he lays the side of his body against the wall! He frighteningly looks at Diane D. He then looks down towards the corner of the dark school hallway past Diane D and shouts, “Heeellp! Somebody please heeellp!” Marcus is about to pass out and collapse from the pain! He painfully tries to lift his head and upper body off the floor again! He looks down towards the corner of the hallway past Diane D again and shouts, “Help! Somebody heeellp!” Marcus continues to tightly hold himself in pain as he cries out, “Aaaah!” He frighteningly looks at Diane D again! He then cries, “Please let me go Diane D, please! I said I was sorry for lying to you and your family about the little boy who has leukemia! Please Diane D, let me gooo!!” Marcus continues to frighteningly look at Diane D! He then cries and shouts, “Okay Diane D! If you want to meet the little boy who has leukemia, you can do it! If it’s so important for you to grant the little boy his dying wish to meet you, you can do that, because the little boy who has leukemia does exist! He exists after all! I made a mistake when I told you that the little boy who has leukemia doesn’t exist! I made a mistake when I told you he never was, but he is here! He’s here right in this building! He’s here right now!” Marcus points towards the corner of the hallway behind Diane D and shouts, “There he goes right there Diane D! Look! The little boy who has leukemia is right there behind you! He’s walking right behind you with your family! Your family found the little boy who has leukemia Diane D! They want you to turn around and see him! Look behind you Diane D!” Diane D does not turn around. She continues to stand there several yards away in the darkness staring towards Marcus not saying a word. Marcus then shouts, “Diane D don’t you hear me! Turn around! Look behind you! Your family found the little boy who has leukemia! The little boy who has leukemia is right behind you! He’s standing right behind you waiting to meet you! He wants to say hi to you Diane D! Just turn around and say hi to him!” Diane D still does not turn around. She continues to stand there several yards away in the darkness staring towards Marcus. Marcus then shouts, “Diane D if you don’t turn around and at least say hi to the little boy, you might hurt his feelings! Turn around and say hi to him Diane D! Come on, turn around!” Diane D still does not turn around or respond. She continues to stand there several yards away in the darkness staring towards Marcus. Marcus then shouts, “Diane D do you hear me?!” Marcus continues to frighteningly look at Diane D. Then he puzzled looks at Diane D. He asks again, “Diane D, do you hear me?” Marcus puzzled stares at Diane D. He then asks, “Diane D, do you even see me?” Marcus shockingly looks at Diane D. He shockingly stares at her. He slowly and painfully gets up off the floor as he leans the side of his body against the wall. He slowly gets from off the wall with his upper body painfully bent forward as he slowly walks to the middle of the walls shockingly staring at Diane D. He is painfully bent several yards in front of Diane D as he shockingly looks at her. He then holds his left arm and two fingers out towards Diane D. He then moves his arm and fingers across the air side to side back and forth as he shockingly stares at Diane D.

  “Oh shit,” Marcus whispers as he frighteningly stares at Diane D. Marcus continues to frighteningly stare at Diane D. He nervously asks, “Diane D, are you sleeping?”

He turns his head back forward towards Diane D and shockingly looks at her again. He nervously takes his left hand and reaches into his pants pocket. He pulls out a pen. He holds the pen up as he nervously looks at Diane D. He then takes his left arm and hand and throws the pen right towards Diane D!

  Diane D does not move or blink as the pen goes right by her face, almost hitting her face. She just stands completely still like a mannequin, giving an eerie blank stare towards the window at the end of the hallway as the pen falls and drops on the floor behind her.

  Marcus holds his left hand over his mouth again as he shockingly looks at Diane D and whispers, “Oh shit.” He continues to tremble as he sees Diane D standing there, not responding. He slowly backs away as he reaches into his pants pocket again. He turns to the side and secretly pulls out a cell phone. He holds the cell phone away from Diane D’s view as he nervously looks at her. He quickly turns his head away from Diane D and nervously looks at his cell phone. He secretly presses the numbers on the cell phone. He puts the cell phone to his ear away from Diane D’s view.

  Diane D suddenly moves and is about to charge Marcus again!

  Marcus stops, screams and quickly backs away from getting his cell phone as he frighteningly looks at Diane D!

  Diane D stops right in her tracks as she stands there in a trance like state staring towards Marcus giving an eerie blank stare with the eerie pale appearance on her face!

  Marcus’ cell phone is still ringing. He anxiously looks at his cell phone again. He frighteningly looks back at Diane D and cries, “That’s my family calling me Diane D! They’re looking for me wondering why I haven’t come home yet! Please let me go! I said I was sorry for lying to you and your family! Please, let me gooo! My family is looking for me!” Marcus turns his head around the other way towards the end of the hallway and looks towards the large window. He sees that is has gotten more darker outside. He hears slight eerie sounds of the crickets coming from outside the window. He anxiously turns his head back towards Diane D and shouts, “Oh my God Diane D! It’s getting late! I have to get home! If I don’t get home soon, my family is gonna call the police! Then the police are gonna come here and look for me! I have to answer my cell phone!” Marcus cell phone continues to ring.

  Marcus frighteningly looks at Diane D’s eerie facial appearance. He trembles even more. His cell phone continues to ring. He anxiously looks at his cell phone again as it rings. Marcus’ cell phone finally stops ringing. He sadly looks at his cell phone. He frighteningly looks back at Diane D.

  Diane D continues to stand there like a zombie, giving a cold blank stare towards Marcus showing no expression as the eerie pale puffy eye appearance remains on her face.

  Marcus sits on the floor against the wall and starts to cry out and shout, “Somebody please help meee!” Marcus continues to frighteningly look at Diane D.

  Back around the two corners on the other side of the building, the two black male security guards are walking in the dark dim hallway outside the principal’s office again. They look at the principal’s office door and could see the light inside the office is still on. They then hear talking and laughter coming from inside the principal’s office and stop. One of the security guards turns to the other and says, “I guess Diane D and her family are still inside the principal’s office, huh?”

  “I guess so,” the second security guard says. He then looks around and says, “Where’s that little kid that was waiting out here for Diane D?”

  “I guess that kid is in there with them too. We never saw him leave the building.”

  “You‘re right. I guess we can lock up the double doors.”

  “Okay.” The security guards walk away from where the principal’s office door is and walk down the hallway. They go around the corner.

  The security guards enter the other dark dim hallway and walk towards the double doors. They reach the double doors and look through the narrow glass windows of the double doors. They do not see anything suspicious. They then take a set of keys and lock the double doors. They test the double doors to make sure they are locked. They cannot open the double doors. They then turn around and walk away.

  The security guards walk back around the corner and walk down the dark hallway again. They go past the principal’s office door again then go to the stairwell doors. They open the stairwell doors and go into the stairwell as the stairwell doors close behind them.

  Back inside the principal’s office, Michael, Marilyn and Tonio are still sitting around the small table in the back of the office eating sliced hero sandwiches, diced cheese, small crackers, macaroni salad and drinking coffee. Michael is eating the macaroni salad from a paper plate and says, “Damn this macaroni salad is delicious!”

  Tonio looks at Michael and asks, “Michael did you save a plate of food for Diane?”

  “Nope, and I’m not going to. Why should I save Diane a plate of food anyway? She was about to let all of us starve to death just for this little boy who has leukemia. She doesn’t need us to save her any plate of food, let her wait to eat like she made all of us wait to eat. I’m eating this all.” Michael starts to eat the macaroni salad again. He then looks to the side and says, “I still want some of that fruit from out of that fruit basket.” He turns back forward and starts to eat the macaroni salad again.

  Mary and Barry sit in the front of the office with Principal Cole as Principal Cole looks through some school files. “So you still cannot find the kid who has leukemia, huh?” Barry asks.

  “No I’m afraid not,” Principal Cole says.

  Mary looks up at the clock on the wall. The clock says 11:10pm. Mary says, “Well it‘s getting late. I think we should start heading home now.” Mary looks around the office. She looks towards Michael, Tonio and Marilyn and asks, “Where‘s Diane?”

  Michael turns to Mary and says, “Diane is still out in the hallway talking with that kid who was waiting out there for her!”

  “She‘s still talking with him?” Barry asks. “She hasn’t stepped back inside this office ever since you all came back up from the auditorium. Tell her to come on in here because we’re getting ready to go now.”

  “Okay Dad.” Michael takes a sip of coffee. He puts the cup of coffee down on the table then gets up from the chair. He turns and walks towards the office door. He reaches the office door, opens it and steps out into the hallway.

  Michael comes out into the dark, dim school hallway. He looks around. He does not see Diane D anywhere. “Diane?!” he calls out. Michael turns left and walks down the hallway. He again calls out, “Diane?!” He walks down the hallway and approaches the corner. “Diane?!” he calls out again. Michael turns right and goes around the corner.

  Michael walks down the other dark, dim hallway. He looks around the hallway as he goes towards the double doors.

  Michael reaches the double doors and looks through the narrow glass windows. He sees the part of the hallway behind the double doors are dark and dim also. “Diane?!” he calls out again. Michael tries to open the double doors. The double doors do not budge, they are locked, Michael cannot open them. Michael looks though the narrow glass windows again. He tries to open the double doors again. The double doors still do not budge, Michael still cannot open them. He looks though the narrow glass windows again. He does not see anything suspicious. He then turns around and walks away.

  Michael walks back down the dark hallway and looks to the side. He sees the female restroom. He goes to the side towards the female restroom. He knocks on the door and calls out, “Diane?!” Michael pushes the door of the female restroom. He opens the door and calls out, “Diane?!”

  Michael pokes his head into the female restroom. He calls out “Diane?!” Michael continues to poke his head into the restroom. “Diane!” he calls out again. He pauses for a few seconds. He then pokes his head back out the restroom.

  Michael steps away from the female restroom a
s the door closes. He turns and walks away from the female restroom.

  Michael enters back into the principal’s office. He tells everyone, “I don’t see Diane out in the hallway.”

  “What?” everyone looks at him and says.

  “What do you mean you don’t see her out in the hallway?” Barry says.

  “She’s not out there,” Michael says.

  “She’s not?!” Mary asks.

  “No.”

  “Well what about that little kid who was out in the hallway waiting for her?” Marilyn asks. “Where is he? Is he still out there?”

  “No I don’t see him out there either. I guess he went home.”

  “Then where is Diane?” Tonio asks.

  “I don’t know. She’s not in the restroom. I knocked on the female restroom door then I opened the door and called her name out. I didn‘t get any answer.”

  Mary stands up and says, “Well let me call her cell phone and find out where she is.” Mary pulls her cell phone out of her pocket. She starts to dial the numbers on the cell phone.

  Back around the corner of the other hallway on the other side of the building, Marcus continues to cry hard in the dark, dim school hallway as he sits helpless and painfully on the floor leaning his upper body against the wall frighteningly looking away from Diane D as he looks towards the window at the end of the hallway. Suddenly, he hears a different cell phone ring tone. He stops crying and anxiously turns his head around towards the sound. He looks at Diane D’s pants pocket and sees a small light shining from her pants pocket. He hears the ring tone coming from there. He realizes that her cell phone is ringing! He frighteningly looks at Diane D.

  Diane D continues to stand there in a trance like state, giving an eerie blank stare towards Marcus as her face remains eerily pale and her eyes remain eerily puffier and half closed as her cell phone rings.

  Marcus frighteningly asks, “Aren’t you going to answer your cell phone Diane D? That’s probably your family calling you. They’re probably looking for you too, wondering where you are. They’re probably wondering why you haven’t come back to the principal’s office yet.”

  Diane D does not pick up or answer her cell phone. She continues to stand there in a trance like state as the pale eerie, puffy eye appearance remain on her face. Her cell phone continues to ring.

  Marcus anxiously looks back towards Diane D’s cell phone. He anxiously stares towards Diane D’s cell phone. He frighteningly looks back at Diane D. He then shouts, “Diane D aren’t you going to answer your cell phone? That’s your family looking for you! Answer your phone!”

  Diane D does not respond. She continues to stand there in a trance like state as her cell phone continues to ring.

  Marcus anxiously looks towards Diane D’s cell phone again. He then looks at Diane D again. He painfully stands as he leans his upper body on the wall. He then removes himself from off the wall as his upper body remains bent forward. He bends in the middle of the walls again several yards in front of Diane D. He nervously gets a little closer to Diane D. He painfully holds his left arm and two fingers out towards Diane D again. He then moves his arm and fingers across the air side to side back and forth as he continues to frighteningly stare at Diane D.

  Diane D continues to stand there in a trance like state glaring towards the window in the back of the hallway as her cell phone continues to ring.

  Marcus frighteningly looks towards Diane D’s cell phone as it rings. He painfully tries to ease towards Diane D’s cell phone. He becomes more nervous and starts to tremble as he slowly eases towards Diane D, getting closer to her cell phone. He stands a few yards in front of Diane D. Then he tests Diane D and painfully goes all the way to his right.

  Diane D stands there as her head turns to her left following Marcus.

  Marcus reaches the wall on the side of the hallway. He painfully leans against the wall.

  Diane D stands there with her head to her left looking right at Marcus as her cell phone continues to ring.

  Marcus turns his head and frighteningly looks at Diane D. He sees that her head and eyes has followed him. He tests Diane D again and painfully goes towards the wall on the opposite side of the hallway.

  Diane D stands there as her head turns and follows Marcus.

  Marcus reaches the wall on the opposite side of the hallway. He painfully leans against that wall.

  Marcus frighteningly looks at Diane D again. He sees that her head and eyes has followed him again. He tests Diane D again and painfully goes back towards the wall on the opposite side of the hallway again.

  Diane D just stands there as her head turns and follows Marcus.

  Marcus reaches the wall on the opposite side of the hallway again. He painfully leans against that wall again.

  Diane D continues to stand there with her head towards her left again looking right at Marcus again as her cell phone continues to ring.

  Marcus nervously looks back at Diane D. He sees that her head and eyes has still followed him. He anxiously looks back towards her cell phone as it continues to ring. He nervously gets from off the wall and eases towards Diane D’s cell phone. Suddenly, Diane D‘s cell phone stops ringing. Marcus anxiously looks towards Diane D’s cell phone. He sadly stares at it. He starts to cry again as he slowly backs away from Diane D and leans back against the wall. He slides his body across the wall again moving himself further away from Diane D.

  Back inside the principal’s office, Mary takes her cell phone away from her ear. She turns to the others and says, “She’s not answering.” Everyone puzzled looks at Mary. Mary tucks her cell phone away and says, “I’m gonna go check the restroom and see if she’s in there now.”

  “I already knocked on the female restroom door Mom,” Michael says. “I opened the door and poked my head inside. I called Diane‘s name twice. I didn‘t hear any answer.”

  “Well maybe she wasn’t in the restroom when you checked in there, but she might be in there now. I’m gonna go all the way inside the female restroom and check.”

  “I’ll come with you Mary,” Marilyn says as she gets up from the chair.

  Mary turns to Barry, Tonio and Michael and says, “You guys stay here just in case Diane comes back.”

  “Okay Mary,” Barry says.

  Mary heads towards the door as Marilyn follows her. She approaches the door and opens it. She walks out of the principal’s office as Marilyn walks out behind her.

  Mary and Marilyn step out into the dark, dim school hallway. They turn to their left and head down the hallway. “Diane?” Mary calls out. Mary and Marilyn walk towards the corner of the hallway. They turn right and go around the corner.

  Mary and Marilyn walk down the other dark and dim hallway. Marilyn looks to the side and says, “Aqui esta el bano de las ninas.”

  Mary looks to the side and sees the female restroom. She turns to Marilyn and says, “Dejenos comprobar en alli.” Mary and Marilyn turn and head towards the female restroom. They reach the female restroom and open the door. They go inside the restroom.

  Mary and Marilyn enter inside the female restroom. They look around as Mary calls out, “Diane?!”

  “Diane?!” Marilyn calls out. Marilyn and Mary open the stall doors. They do not see Diane D anywhere. They turn to each other as Marilyn says, “Ella no esta aqui.”

  “Donde puede ella ser?” Mary says. “No me digas que esa mujer ha desaparecido otra vez.”

  “Quizas ella fuera del edificio. Probablemente, ella nos quedamos fuera del edificio una vez que el cabrito se fue a su casa.”

  “Supongo que tenemos que comprobar exterior. Venga, Vamos a ir.” Mary and Marilyn turn and head towards the door.

  Mary and Marilyn enter back into the dark, dim school hallway. They look towards the double doors. ??
?Vamos comprobar esa parte del pasillo,” Mary says.

  Mary and Marilyn turn and walk towards the double doors. They approach the double doors. They look through the narrow glass windows and see the hallway on the other side. They see that part of the hallway dark and dim also. They try to open the double doors. The double doors do not budge. They are still locked. Mary and Marilyn are unable to open the double doors. “Las puertas se cierran con llave,” Mary says. “No se abriran.” Mary and Marilyn look through the narrow glass windows again. They try to open the double doors again. They are unable to open the double doors.

  Marilyn turns to Mary and says, “Ella esta probablemente fuera del edificio Mary. No hay nadie en que parte del pasillo. Esa seccion del pasillo esta cerrado.”

  “Tienes razon Marilyn. Supongo que podemos ir cheque fuera del edificio.” Mary and Marilyn take one last look through the narrow glass windows. They do not see anything suspicious. They turn and walk away from the double doors.

  Back inside the principal’s office, Barry is worriedly pacing back and forth. Mary and Marilyn soon enter back inside the principal’s office. Barry anxiously turns to them and asks, “Did you two find Diane in the restroom?”

  “No,” Mary says. “She’s not in the restroom either or anywhere else in the hallway. I’m going to go downstairs and check outside.”

  “No Mary, the fellas and I will go downstairs outside the building and look for Diane. You and Marilyn stay here just in case Diane comes back.”

  “Okay Barry.”

  Barry turns to Michael and Tonio and says, “Come on guys.” Barry turns back forward and heads towards the door. Michael and Tonio get up off the chairs. They go towards the door. Barry goes out the door as Michael and Tonio follow out the door behind him.

  It is around 11:40pm. It is dark and slightly windy outside the school building as Barry, Michael and Tonio walk away from the front entrance of the school building towards the sidewalk.

  Barry, Michael and Tonio reach the sidewalk. They look around the area. It is isolated around the school area. The eerie sounds of crickets are being heard all over the place. All the school windows on the second and third floors are completely dark. Barry then says, “Let’s turn this way.” Barry, Michael and Tonio turn to the left and walk down the sidewalk in front of the school building. They all look around the area as they walk down the sidewalk.

  Barry, Michael and Tonio walk towards the street corner. They see no sign of Diane D.

  Barry, Michael and Tonio reach the street corner and stop as they hear the eerie sounds of the crickets. Barry turns to Tonio and Michael and says, “Well she’s not out here.”

  “And she’s not in the principal’s office or in the restroom,” Tonio says. “Where could she be?”

  “We probably shouldn’t have left her out in the hallway alone with that kid who was there waiting for her,” Michael says.

  “But it was that kid’s idea in the first place to have himself and Diane be alone. That kid did say he wanted to talk to Diane in private.”

  “Well I hope whoever this kid is didn’t set Diane up or anything like that,” Barry says. “For all we know, he could’ve had Diane set up and probably had her lured somewhere and someone else probably came along to get Diane to get back at her for all those people she attacked in the past.”

  “Oh let’s not think like that Dad,” Michael says.

  “Why not? A lot of people did know that Diane was coming to this school tonight. I mean do any of you know anything about this kid that you saw waiting for Diane outside the principal’s office?”

  “No, none of us know anything about that kid. We only saw him waiting for Diane outside the principal‘s office.”

  “Did any of you get his name or find out who he is?”

  “No,” Tonio says. “We never found out who that kid is Barry, but I do know one thing. That kid appeared nervous as hell about something.”

  “He seemed nervous as hell? And why was he nervous? He probably knew something was up. That nervous behavior was probably an act!”

  “I don’t know if his nervous behavior was an act or not Dad,” Michael says, “but I know one thing, I’m going to call Diane’s cell phone right now. Hopefully she‘ll pick up this time.” Michael reaches into his pocket. He pulls his cell phone out of his pocket. He then says, “For all we know, Diane could just be somewhere running her mouth. That‘s something she‘s good at doing you know.” Michael looks down and dials the numbers on his cell phone as Barry and Tonio look at him.

  Back upstairs on the dark third floor school hallway around the corner on the other side of the building, Marcus continues to cry as he sits helpless on the floor with the side of his body against the wall frighteningly looking away from Diane D as he looks towards the large window at the end of the hallway. He suddenly hears Diane D’s cell phone ringing again. He stops crying and anxiously turns his head towards Diane D who is still standing several yards away from him. He anxiously looks towards her cell phone again as it rings. Then he anxiously looks at Diane D.

  Diane D continues to stand there in a trance like state, giving an eerie blank stare towards Marcus with her face remaining eerily pale and her eyes remaining eerily puffy and half closed as her cell phone continues to ring.

  Marcus anxiously says, “Your cell phone is ringing again Diane D.”

  Diane D does not respond. She continues to stand there in a state of trance, staring towards Marcus as her cell phone continues to ring.

  Marcus nervously looks at Diane D again. He then says, “Your cell phone is ringing again Diane D, please answer your cell phone, your family is looking for you!”

  Diane D does not respond. She continues to stand there in a state of trance, staring towards Marcus as her cell phone continues to ring.

  Marcus nervously looks at Diane D again. He painfully stands as he is bent forward. He slides his body against the wall and tries to ease towards Diane D again. He trembles as he gets closer to Diane D.

  Diane D continues to stand there in a state of trance with her puffy eyes half closed staring towards Marcus as her cell phone continues to ring.

  Marcus is now close to Diane D again. He pauses for several seconds. He painfully holds his left arm and hand out towards Diane D’s pants pocket. He trembles as he tries to reach for Diane D’s cell phone. As he is about to grab Diane D’s cell phone, suddenly, Diane D jumps, spins her entire body around and kung-fu kicks Marcus right in the chest and abdominal area, throwing his tiny body a couple of feet into the air!! “Aaaaah!” Marcus screams as his body is thrown in the air!

  Marcus’ body slams several yards away against the wall again! “Aaaaah!” Marcus screams as his body lands hard on the floor again! “Aaaaaaahh!” he screams again.

  Diane D takes a stand giving an eerie blank stare towards Marcus, still showing no emotion as her cell phone continues to ring!

  “Aaaah!” Marcus screams out again as he writhes on the floor in pain, holding his body in agony! “Aaaaah!” he screams out again as he starts to cry! He painfully turns his body over with his face sweating and mouth slightly bleeding. He painfully holds his ribs as he slowly tries to sit up leaning the side of his body and head against the wall. He frighteningly looks at Diane D again as her cell phone constantly rings. He cries and shouts, “Don’t you hear your cell phone Diane D?! Please, answer it!”

  Diane D still does not respond. She continues to stand there in a state of trance, giving a pale eerie blank stare towards Marcus as her cell phone continues to ring.

  Marcus then shouts, “For God’s sake please respond to your phone Diane D, answer it!”

  Diane D still does not respond. She continues to stand there in a trance as her cell phone continues to ring.

  Marcus slowly tries to stand. He still is not able to stand up straight due to the intense pain. He stands with his upper body bent forward a
s he tightly holds his upper body and wrist in pain. He constantly hears Diane D’s cell phone ringing. He becomes angry and shouts, “Dammit Diane D respond to your phooone!” Marcus nervously stares at Diane D.

  Diane D still does not respond. She continues to stand there in a state of trance as her cell phone continues to ring.

  Marcus anxiously turns around as his upper body remains bent forward. He painfully reaches for a yellow pail that is on the floor close to him. He grabs the yellow pail with his left hand and angrily shouts, “Can you respond to this!” Marcus angrily throws his left arm and tosses the yellow pail right at Diane D!

  Diane D does not move or blink as the yellow pail flies right by her face, almost hitting her face! She continues to stand there in a state of trance, not moving at all, giving an eerie blank stare towards Marcus as the pail falls and drops on the floor behind her! Her cell phone continues to ring.

  Marcus painfully turns around as his upper body remains bent forward. He reaches for another yellow pail that is close by. He turns back towards Diane D and shouts, “Can you respond to this!” Marcus angrily throws and tosses the yellow pail right at Diane D!

  Diane D does not move or blink as the yellow pail hits her right smack in her neck and chest! She remains in a state of trance, giving a cold blank stare towards Marcus as the pail falls and drops on the floor near her feet.

  Marcus shockingly holds his hand over his mouth as he looks at Diane D seeing no response from her. He starts to tremble again as he shockingly stares at Diane D. He slowly starts to back away from her as her cell phone continues to ring. Marcus painfully turns around and reaches for a tin garbage pail that is close by!

  Diane D does not move or blink as the large tin garbage pail hits her hard right smack in her face! She continues to stand there in a trance as the tin garbage pail falls and drops on her feet then hits the floor.

He then shouts, “My God Diane D what is wrong with you, why don’t you respooond?!” Marcus angrily looks at Diane D. He slowly continues to back away from Diane D as his body remains bent forward. He puzzled looks at Diane D as her cell phone continues to ring. Then he painfully turns around again and reaches for a tin garbage can lid that is close by!

  Diane D does not move or blink as the tin garbage can lid hits her right smack in her abdominal! Diane D continues to stand there in a trance as the tin garbage can lid falls and drops on the floor near her feet!

  Marcus shockingly holds his hand over his mouth again as he looks at Diane D still seeing her not responding.

  Diane D’s cell phone suddenly stops ringing.

  Marcus anxiously looks towards Diane D’s pants pocket. Then he sadly looks towards her cell phone. He angrily shouts, “My God Diane D, why didn’t you answer your phone?! That was your family calling you again looking for you!” Marcus worriedly looks at Diane D! He then shouts, “Please wake up Diane D! Please wake uuup!” Marcus slowly continues to back away from Diane D. He is tired and in pain as he slowly backs away from Diane D. Suddenly, he hears Diane D’s cell phone ringing again!

He desperately shouts, “Please Diane D, wake uuup!” He continues to back away from Diane D as he painfully turns around again! This time, he reaches for a large full can of paint that is close by that has its lid closed! He grabs the handle of the large full paint can and lifts the paint can up. He struggles as he lifts the heavy full can of paint. He turns back towards Diane D with the full can of paint and shouts, “Wake up to this!” Even though Marcus is in intense pain, he still manages to get the strength and throws the large full can of paint right at Diane D!

  Diane D does not move or blink as the full can of paint hits her right smack in her abdominal area then falls and drops hard and heavy on her feet then rolls to the floor spilling some paint onto the floor! She continues to stand there in a trance, giving an eerie blank stare towards Marcus

  Diane D continues to stand there in a state of trance firmly staring right at Marcus as her pale face appears bruised, swollen and bleeding from the blows and her eyes appear bruised, swollen and more puffy and more half closed as her eyeballs disappear more behind her puffy swollen upper and lower eyelids. Her cell phone continues to ring.
