You didn’t get that superlative in the yearbook for nothing! It’s easy to run in your <span class="mu-s">TRENDY TRACKSUIT,</span> and despite her lead you easily catch up to Pepper in seconds flat!
Holy <span class="mu-i">SHIT</span>, you pant as the two of you skid around the corner into another hallway, this got real, huh!?
Your partner doesn’t respond, but the lack of smugness in her face tells you this isn’t part of the itinerary. What’s going on here, Pepper?!
“How should <span class="mu-i">I</span> know!?” She sputters incredulously! “That wound, though… it looked like the real thing!”
Yea, you frown, not even bothering to avoid the <span class="mu-s">CAMERAS</span> any more as you approach what you hope is the <span class="mu-s">GYM,</span> by the way: are any of her classmates the type to <span class="mu-i">stab</span> someone?
“Hard…” she pants, clearly not having a <span class="mu-s">SPEED BONUS</span> like you do, “Hard to say… emotions are riding pretty high tonight, though–one big ‘<span class="mu-i">Last Hurrah</span>’ before everyone goes off on their own path-”
The girl cuts herself off when you both spot what you hope is your destination: a nondescript door at the end of the hall! Rather than slowing down, you use your momentum and leap into a <span class="mu-s">FLYING DROP-KICK</span> to open the door! No time to waste!
Pepper watches with wide-eyes as you sail through the air like a garlic-scented missile! As your feet connect with the wooden door, you immediately realize that it isn’t locked or even really <span class="mu-i">closed</span> when you blast through the entrance with zero resistance!
Landing in a heap on some foam workout mats, you allow yourself a quick sigh of relief when you fail to find anyone lurking in the dark workout room!
“Nice one.” Your partner remarks as you rise to your feet. “Guess she really <span class="mu-i">did</span> step out, huh?”
Yea, you frown as you approach the nurse’s work station, pretty convenient timing…
