Why is Karen calling me right now? What could she possibly want? " What do you want? " I asked her. " I've been trying to contact your father for weeks now!". Well if you look at this, Karen wants to reach out to dad? Well, I'll be damned. "Pretty sure he doesn't want to talk to you and neither do I so goodbye and delete my number, thanks " I reply obnoxiously. Does she think she's going to ruin my day? I think not. Today is the day! We have senior portraits and I also get to find out if I have been accepted into my dream school, the University of Southern California. I am super pumped up about it. High school is almost over and I am relieved by it. This school year has been so much of a challenge, I just want to end it on a high note! Speaking of I need to get ready for school.

Clearly, school isn't the same since you've last read so let me explain. When Jace passed away the entire school put on an amazing memorial for him and also framed his football jersey with the legends of this school. Jazlynn hasn't returned but truthfully no one cares. And Troy and his new family have been on a 3-month vacation in the Bahamas where his parents; Mr. Evans and Karen who decided to elope. I guess she knew a lot of people weren't going to show, and she was right. I've been trying to get in touch with Moira for a while now but Maria explained the influences around her changed her. She isn't the same sweet girl I know. She is around arrogant and pompous dumbasses on a daily and now she is becoming one of them. I promised I would make it up to her and clearly I have failed her, story of my life.
As I walk into the building the hallways are filled with college signs and I'm eager for my pictures. As I walk the halls I see seniors dressed up from left to right. Athletes wearing suits and cheerleaders earing heels, everyone looks good. I walk to my locker and I imagine Jace stand here like the first day of school, I smile and open my locker. Once I close my locker Zane pops up and I jump at him. He laughs and I hit him on the arm. He could've killed me! " I'm so sorry, Goodmorning beautiful ". He laughs again before kisses my cheek. We walk the halls together hand and hand as people watch. We enter Ms. Smith and return to our seats to prepare for her lesson. While Ms. Smith continues to teach a voice on the PA System announces for all seniors to report to the gym to take senior portraits. Without hesitation, everyone gathers their things to head to the gym and forget all about Ms. Smith's lesson.
The gym is crowded with tons of seniors, which is amazing because half of these people weren't supposed to be here but whatever. Zane leaves me to take team pictures with both the football and basketball team, and I'm excited for him! I know he will get tons of offers in either sport and make Jace extremely proud. I walk over to the bleachers to wait for my name to be called and someone calls my name from afar. I can't see who it is but the voice is familiar. " Karmaa! I need to speak to you privately right now, it's an emergency! " she yells. " Jazlynn what are you doing here?! What's this about? " I ask. She looks like she lives in a sewer. I know her family took time away from the town but where the fuck did they go if she is looking like this? I follow her to the empty hallway so we can talk. " Now what do you want? " I demanded. She looks scared of something and I don't know from what. " I know you don't trust me but I need you to hear me. I've been getting threats since Jace's funeral and when I told my parents about it, they sent me to a psychiatric hospital as if I'm crazy! " she yells. She grabs my arm as if she needs my help. I was ready to slam her against a locker until I remember the texts I've been getting. " Wait... what kind of threats? " I ask suspiciously. She pulls her phone out of her pocket, which I can tell she hasn't had in a while with tons of messages from an unknown number. " Karmaa? Is this you? Because I thought we were good! I did not kill him and you know that! " she yells. " What the fuck do you mean is it me? Why in the hell would it be me! " I replied. Did she suspect me and Zane?! Zane, I understand cause he can't stand her ass but me?! Whatever. " CALM DOWN Jazlynn! I can promise you this isn't me nor Zane! I've been getting the same messages... okay?! ". She begins to cry and I have a deep soft spot for her after everything she has done, sadly. "They are accusing me of killing Jace and that I need to be in a bodybag next. I understand I am the reason for him wanting to take his life with my selfishness but I would never kill anyone, especially Jace! " she says while wiping her tears. I know she is upset but I can't help but think about the texts I have received and I'm even more confused. Was Jace's death a heartbroken suicide? Or was it planned? Are we getting framed for murder? What the fuck? This cannot be right. Before I can utter another word Zane storms out of the gym and slams Jazlynn against the lockers. " Zane! Let her go! Zane stop it! Let her go! " I scream. He doesn't take his eyes off of her and tunes me out. " Didn't I tell you to never talk to her again?! " he says. I pull him off of her and stand in front of her. " Zane stop! " I plea. He looks at me confused and wants my explanation. I signal her to leave as she runs down the hallway and leaves the building. I roll my eyes at Zane and walk into the gym.
