I see you standing there, and your eyes are unaware that I been staring at them all night, wishing the brain behind them cared
~~~~~~

The last day of school is scary. Really scary when it is your senior year.

Everyone is jumping in joy, crying their worries away, or just me plainly laughing at them all.

It is so stupid. It isn't the end of the world. Actually, it is more like going into the world and exploring everything you never did. Which, for me, is everything. I never got kissed, went on a date, gone to a party, everything that teens mostly do. Until today.

I was standing near the staircase to the school and a purple piece of paper floated by like a feather, peacefully, and I decided to grab it to at least throw it away.

I looked at the paper instead and gagged on the inside as I saw a hanging person, clawing at the rope and bodies gushing blood under the hanging body. The bodies that was on the floor were chopped up and mangled.

The scarest thing is the body hanging is Jessica.

'come hang with us! Come along!'
It said in jagged letters and the whispers of voices came back in my mind.

So, here I am, in a puffy short black dress, staring myself in the mirror on my door.

Henry ackwardly said he would be my 'date' for this party.

I'm only going to either stop this from happening or find out what is going on.

I know I'm not crazy.

I took a deep breath as I heard a knock on my window. I knew who it was easily because Henry has been doing this for the past week to stay in a chair and make sure nothing happens. I wake up screaming still as I have new bite marks and scratches. I guess it is company now if you think about it. Henry is there as a comfort blanket to hold me and just give me a co-sign that I'm alright.

I open the window to be kissed by the breeze. I grabbed Henry's hand and pulled him in.

"You ready?" I said firmly.

"Anytime girlie."

I took a deep breath.

'here goes fucking nothing'
~~~~~

The smell of strong achohol and teen spirit filled my nose as I met the front yard.

"Henry, try to find any clues, anything." I said before taking off.

I wasn't really invited, I just had a fear of being kicked out or in trouble in any way.

I glided past people dancing and grinding or doing stupid shit that I would never do in my whole life time.

Stupid teenagers just make my skin crawl. What their doing is making all teens so stereotypical, when really, I don't do shit. Ugh, bothersome.

I bumped into someone and their drink spilled on me and the dress.

"Oh, uh, sorry..." I said before looking into her eyes.

"... Scarlet...you came? I have to show you...something..." Jessica slurred. Before I could protest, Jessica tugged on my arm and pulled me up the wooden staircase.

I sat on the edge of her bed as she sat on the floor, in front of me.

I looked at my old best friend with pity. She went down hill for sure.

She began to giggle wildly.

I gave her a look as she kept giggling.

"Jessica, are you depressed?" I asked, hoping to achohol makes her answer truthfully.

She cocked her head, still giggling.

"No, silly! Did you know that your eyes are...pretty?"

I laughed at her.

Maybe just the feeling of being near her again gives me a bubbly feeling on the inside.

She stood up and did something that shocked me.

Me and her lips touched and my heart fluttered like a butterfly flying in the air.

The kiss got rougher and my stomach turned.
I felt like I was taking advantage and I pushed her off gently.

"You...I can't do that, Jessica, I love you dearly but I can't do this...I'm sorry.."

I couldn't do that to her. She has a boyfriend...

I got up and left but before i did I tripped on something. Her Innocent laugh filled my ears as I I got up again and saw that it was a teddy bear.

A teddy bear with dust that wasn't there before.

A rememberence.

I began to ran downstairs to find Henry.
