Later, in her living room at home Lacey was propped up on the couch recovering from her ordeal. Luckily no one had been hurt in the quake. Alicia had never been located, but no cheerleaders were missing, so it was assumed she'd been a girl from another squad. A knock was heard at the door, and Lacey could hear her mother speaking softly with a woman at the door. After awhile she led a blonde woman into the room and introduced her to Lacey. The woman said she'd like to talk to Lacey for a bit if she was up to it. This is what she told her:
The woman, whose name was Amy Porter, had been a cheerleader, along with her twin sister Alicia, at the old school many years ago. One night during cheerleading practice, a terrible earthquake had hit. Alicia and Amy had been in the bathroom and had run for the door at the first tremors. Amy made it safely outside, but Alicia had been hit by a falling beam and died in the hallway. The school boarded up the old hallway after that, deciding that it couldn't be made safe. The school,later named Alicia Porter Memorial High School, had tiled over the entrance to the old hall, and no one had thought about it for years. That is, until a cheerleader named Alicia led Lacey Delgado to safety down the old abandoned hallway.
