All the headlines were buzzing in Woodsboro. A few of them already throwing away their stories about the murder of Casey Becker and Steve Orth. Now the spotlight was all on Sidney. Josie had woken up from a nice long sleep to see her sister's name and her mother's name being the talk of the town. Even beyond the grave her mother was haunting her. And now that it was coming up on Josie's birthday and the anniversary of her mother's death, Josie's emotions were fighting with each other to see which one would come out victorious.

"Sidney Prescott, who escaped a vicious attack last night is the daughter of Maureen Prescott, who was brutally killed last year when convicted murderer Cotton Weary broke into their home and savagely..." Josie clicked the television off in a huff.

"It's not breaking in if she opened the door for him. And like he could kill someone." Josie rolled her eyes. She realized the news would probably buzz again about the murder of Maureen, but it didn't even feel like it had been a year yet.

The house phone erupted into the empty house, causing the girl to groan. Getting up to grab the phone before she headed into the kitchen to make her breakfast before school. She clicked the answer button before putting the phone to her ear.

"Hello?"

"Jo..." Billy's low voice spoke from the other line.

"No. Go fuck yourself. With a wood chipper or something. Make it memorable." Josie snapped before pressing the end button. Slamming the phone onto the counter. He had lit that fire underneath her and it still wasn't even burning as bright as it could've been.

Josie had pushed her way through the crowd of news reporters and students, not wanting to deal with anyone that day. She had not been in the mood now after the 5 second call. Billy could always put her in the worst moods or the best ones, and this time it was one of the nastier moods.

Josie had made it to her locker that was next to Sidney's. Sid, Tatum, and Stu were crowded around. The girl tried not to acknowledge them at first, just wanting to get her books and go to class.

"This is a mistake. I shouldn't be here." Sidney has already begun to stress out at the thought of being at school after her name had been in the headlines.

"I want you to meet me here after class, okay, Sid?" Tatum told Sidney before popping the lollipop back in her mouth. Josie peered over to catch Stu began to admire himself in Tatum's small mirror causing the girl to roll her eyes.

"You keep looking at yourself like that Stuart, you might as well just fuck yourself." Josie commented.

"Oh, so she speaks? And yeah, I would if I could. Because let's face it, I'm hot." Stu said.

"You're stupid." Josie corrected.

"Jo, how was the night alone at the house? I'm surprised you didn't want to stay with us to feel safer." Tatum had brought up.
