When the intercom seemed to blare on, Cecelia covered her ears as well until the noise was replaced by a strange, sinister child's voice. From what she could tell from the tone, the voice referred to both her and Steven as the 'stragglers'. When Steven asked his question, she answered "Unless we both were given some kind of hallucinatory drug...I'd say no," 

She listened to Steven speak his thoughts out loud. She looked to where he was looking and she saw the sign that read Gymnasium. She noticed the look he gave her, and she nodded and said "OK, let's get going," She honestly didn't want to find out what would happen if the both of them decided not to go to the gym. She had a bad feeling about the whole thing as she walked through the halls, her footsteps echoing through the empty hallways.

Soon she reached the large doors that led into the gym, and she pulled the both of them open and let herself and Steven inside. Once inside, she saw that there were fourteen other students in there, and they all turned to look at them. Cecelia couldn't help but swallow thickly and nervously from all of the students staring at her. She snapped out of her nervous stupor when a familiar voice called out to her "Cece!" 

She soon found herself in a bear hug of sorts and she knew who was hugging her immediately. Her brother, Andrew Greene. She hugged back and said in order to get him to let her go, "Andrew, I'm ok!" She was relieved to see that he was alright. However, deep down, worry seemed to begin growing. If he was here, then he was probably in as much danger as she and Andrew were right now. 

Andrew soon let her go and he glared at Steven and he gruffly asked Steven "Who are you?" Cecelia could tell that her brother didn't like the fact that Steven was with her, and she reassured him, "Andrew, it's ok. He's a friend," She saw him noticeably relax slightly, but he never took his glare off of Steven.
