Qhispikay wasn't your average teenage girl. Her bright blue eyes didn't light up when she saw or spoke to the guy she liked, because she didn't like any guys. She was never worried about whether or not her hair, long and black, looked good in the backer fell right in the front. She didn't usually wear make up unless it was a special occasion and she didn't worry about her weight after eating pizza and ice cream. In the summer, though, she did like to let her already tan skin get tanner to make her eyes pop. Being full blood Native American it was rare for her to have blue eyes; so that was something she wanted people at school to notice.
At school she wasn't involved in much of anything. But she was a strait A student in all Advanced Placement classes and, being a senior in high school, had already been accepted to her college of choice. But even though she had so much free time, due to lack of involvement, she only had two friends, Jessica and Luke.
Luke was an eighteen year old senior with green eyes and brown hair that was nearly cut. He played football and was in theater along with, not all, but a few Advanced Placement classes. He wasn't your typical football jock that you hear about in all the movies, he cared about people. Many people had even said that he didn't have a mean bone in his body. Qhispikay was closer to him because they also went to church together. She didn't know it yet, but she would eventually be dating him.
Jessica on the other hand she only knew from school. She had short brown-ish blonde hair and hazel eyes. They had gone to school together since the sixth grade and were good friends. Jessica was the polar opposite of Qhispikay. She was very outspoken and extroverted, not to mention the new boyfriend she has every month.
Together this odd tripe as the talk of the school. Jessica and her many exes, Luke and his odd niceness, and Qhispikay and her weird name. But they didn't care about the mean words and gossiping. They stuck together and encouraged each other when one of them was hurt. They felt more like a family than they did with their actual families.
Qhispikay was the only Christian in a house full of spirit worshiping Native Americans. Her grandmother never spoke to her any more and her parents were always yelling at her now because of her new found faith. Her dad had become verbally and emotionally abusive ever since he found out about her Christianity, which broke her heart because they used to have such a good relationship.
Luke was a Christian with an all Christian family. His dad was a preacher and his mother was the children's choir director. Though this seems like a great thing, most of the time it wasn't. His dad was always asking about school and/or grades and would get mad at any grade lower than an 85 in the grade book. His mom was constantly trying to get him to quit football because of the danger on getting severely injured and how much they would have to pay in hospital fines. On top of this, they both told him to stop hanging out so much with Qhispikay and and Jessica because it could make people think the "wrong things" about him.
Jessica was a Christian I a house of people who just didn't care. They took her to church, but went back home until service was over. Her brother was a cocaine dealer and her parents were drinkers. Her dad was abusive when he had had to much to drinker she had to hide in her room or at Qhispikay's house when nights got to rocky with him.
In spite of all these things they were all best friends. Nothing could or would ever separate them. That is, nothing until that one terrible day:
Thursday September 26, two-thousand and fourteen. Three days before Qhispikay's seventeenth birthday.
