The cafeteria doubles as a performance hall, with heavy blue velvet curtains covering a small stage on one end. Metal roll downs on the side are raised when the slop is ready to be served, and students line up to buy school lunches. There is an additional snack cart off the the side, run by FBLA members who are constantly trying to embezzle the small funds. One can buy incredibly unhealthy varieties of doughnuts, brownies and cookies here. There is a Coke machine on the far wall, hidden in a corner. The tables are round, and have uncomfortable built in stools that are forever snagging backpack straps and tripping the clumsy.

The poor and unloved students meet here to eat the school served breakfast, which is only available for disadvantaged students, who all know each other through their shared meals over the years. The breakfast today is small hockey pucks of sausage, rubbery scrambled eggs and your choice of milk, chocolate milk, or orange juice, all in carton form. There are about thirty students eating here, scattered through the room, comparatively much quieter than the lunch time crowd.

LUNCH TIME!
The cafeteria grows thick and crowded with students. Many people just pick up their food and ditch to less stressful locations. The art club is meeting in the art room, the library girls always eat on the courtyard, and then retreat to the library, the music kids on the courtyard, and the rejects wherever they feel like it.
Today's lunch options: Choice of a slice of pizza- Supreme, Pepperoni or Cheese or Grilled cheese sandwich Salad Bar Chocolate or regular milk

Beef looked for the table with his buddies and then settled right down near them. Music group...complete.

Ian gets in line behind Beef. Ian- "Hey man. Ugh, what a weird day huh?"

He turns to his friend, and nods, but seems a little confused. "What's weird about it? I thought we got candy on Halloween...I guess maybe how quiet things are. So bogus, looking forward to the party."

Beef goes to get a Pepperoni pizza in the meantime, and then works on fitting as much in his mouth at once as he can.

Ian- "Yeah! So I'm thinking, we go to the dance, just for an appearance really, 'cause I'm thinking it's not gonna be great. We can swing by my place in between, I'm real close. I know of at least two parties now, I think one sounds a bit more grown-up though. Anyone one you hot on running into?"

Beef- "Not really, just want to dip my feet a little. And I heard there's pizza. We can go to both maybe. Dancing..." Ian may or may not sense he's lying but then again he's pretty sure Rudi would punch him if he asked her to dance. Ian- "Yeah, I think we'll play it by ear. There's a lot of opportunities out there."

James thumbed the candy in his pocket absentmindedly as he made his way to the cafeteria. Weird tasting candy? Worse things had happened, Houdini had died on Halloween and the first hydrogen bomb was detonated in 1952 destroying an entire island. It had rocked Izzy though and the look on her face had been heartbreaking. He took a pepperoni pizza (no cheese) and headed to the courtyard. When he arrived Josh was already there getting into a supreme and chocolate milk. "So have you got the candy creeps too, J-man?" Josh- "Huh? I haven't heard much about it. Some girl was complaining about it in trig. Hey help me find Penny? I swear that girl..."
He poked his head back in the cafeteria, glancing around.

Todd- "Oh man, the freakin' candy. Yeah, girls are cryin' about it all day. So paranoid! I don't get it."

The line for food was crazy long, so most students were still waiting to pick up their food. The room was filled with a nervous energy. Some were still nervous about the candy, but most had forgotten it by this point, talking about costumes and parties.
There was a loud squeak from the direction of the stage. The room quieted slowly, and people turned to look. The blue velvet curtains jerked, once, twice... and then they pulled open.
Hanging over a flat piece of scenery from the school's summertime production of "Oklahoma!" was a large piece of butcher paper, with black painted text. It read:

Ian stares at the paper and then shakes his head. "What is this? Ian is someone threatening you? That's totally not cool. Why would someone write this? To be scary on Halloween? He shakes his head.

Ian gaped at the paper, which rippled slightly in the a/c breeze. The room was strangely silent. Someone whistled loudly, and a few people laughed nervously. Ian- "...Jesus Christ. I'm the first on the list! What the hell...!"

"It's pretty weird Todd, valentine's day and they love it. Izzy was pretty freaked. You can have mine, lactose." "Have you seen Penny? Josh is looking." He held on to his tray and followed Josh slowly back to the cafeteria. What the hell was that list? Oh god Izzy was on it. "W-what is going on?"
