New School, New Me, New Murder | A Deadly Town Series | 1

Prologue

A new school, yay.

I know Mom wants to move here to have a "fresh start"; especially after everything that happened last summer. But I'd rather just continue at my old school. Even if I was just going to be tormented the entire time, because nothing's better than being the new kid especially in senior.

Year also sometimes hella funked up with the school. I mean everything is gray! It's like all the color was sucked out of it like the vegetables from that bunny vampire book. Also what's with the stuffy uniforms, a white dress shirt, grey Blazer, grey dress pants, brown shoes, brown belt, orange tie, and the orange embroidered school emblem. I think it is a tiger, but the embroidery is so bad you can barely tell and right under the tiger is the embroidered words of Teakwood High. So I guess we're the Teakwood Tigers? Who knows but right now school mascots are the least of my worries, as I'm sitting on this bus with music blasting in my ears from my headphones and my nerves are so bad that I can't even recognize what's playing only that there's a sound; that is covering up the noisy sounds of the bus with kids shouting, throwing footballs back and forth, and kids talking shit about other kids.

Guess some things never change but I can barely pay attention to that as the school comes into view outside my window. And God they should have made the entire uniform orange cuz we're basically going to prison. The entire building is grey, and at this point I'm surprised that the buses are not gray. But the creepy thing about this building is the high barbed wire fence like an actual fuckin prison fence. And then the next thing that comes into view is the security guards and of course the metal detectors at every single entrance.

It's kind of intimidating. Especially considering I just came back from a school where we got the Cowboys and the kids Either go hunting or huntin.

But I don't have time to worry about that now as the bus is slowing to a stop. And I guess I need to get out of it. I mean what's the worst that could happen? It's only High School. It's only one year and then I can go and blow this Popsicle stand and run away to England or somewhere where they just don't give a shit anymore.

What could go wrong.
