I was honestly so excited for the first day of Lyric and I's first day as a senior. But that all changed when I noticed the creepy Janitor following me around. Everyone calls him 'Freaky Jeff." Apparently he follows a lot of people around. Rumor has is that he was convicted of attempted murder! Lyric says it's called a rumor for a reason. But I don't know... He just looks like the type. But he kind of looks familiar. It's like I've known him before. I don't know, I think I'm just going crazy. He is really into photography and the janitors closet has a collages on the walls showing off his skills. His photos are actually really beautiful. There is even pictures of my mom in there. He must have been the janitor back when my mom was in school. The bell rang, telling me my day was officially over. I ran down the halls looking for Lyric. I found him hanging out with all of his so called friends...

"Yeah and I was all like.....-" I heard him say to his friends and then turn to me "What do you want?" As if that conversation was going anywhere.

"The bell rang, come on, I'll drive." I said grabbing the keys out of his hands. "I'll be in the car, don't take long." I said as I walked away. It makes Lyric mad when I do that, because everyone knows that his friends have a huge crush on me. Before I left I heard The "Ooooh's!" From his friends, I also heard "You need some Ice for that burn!" the last thing I heard from his friends was "She is so hot." Ugh. Teenage boys and their hormones. I was waiting in the car.. It was freezing so I turned the heater up. I heard a weird noise and pop coming from somewhere within the vehicle. Great. I thought to myself. Now I have to wait here freezing my butt off for my dumb brother to finish his stupid stories. After twenty minutes of sitting in the cold I decided to give him a taste of his own medicine. I started driving home.

"Hey mom." I said as I walked through the door.

"Hey Hun." Mom stated as she was cutting up an onion.

"Mmmm, Whatcha makin'?" I asked looking at some kind of stew.

"Stew." She replied.

"Oh, that definitely boils it down." I said smiling. Puns I thought to myself as I looked at the boiling liquid.

"Oh, hey Dad." I said turning around to look at my dad.

"'bout time you notice me." He said smiling. I walked over to him and gave him a hug and kissed him on the cheek. I then walked over to the fridge and grabbed a beer... For him of course.

"Here." I said handing him the cold one.

"Thanks, love." He said taking a drink.

"So uh, where is your brother?"

"Oh him?" I asked trying to be sly.

"Yes, Him."

"Well, he was too busy telling his silly stories to his friends so I, uhm left him."

"Ok... Go back to the school and get him." My father stated.

"Ugh but Dad!"

"Go."

"Fine." I grabbed my keys off the table and was on my way. For some reason the traffic was terrible today. The school looked somewhat crowded for class to be out of session. As I got closer I noticed several cars out of place... They weren't regular cars. They were police cars, and there was and ambliance.... There were many people surrounding this one ambulance. I quickly parked and ran over to the scene.

"What's going on?" I asked frantically. The person I was speaking to turned around, I recognised her to be Evelynd, Lyrics girlfriend, and also one of my best friends. Also my mother's best friend's child. Many people know her as Emily. Anyway, she turned around and I saw tears covering her face like a blanket.

"What's going on?" I said again, demanding answers. She looked at me with sad, droopy eyes. She only said one word.

"Lyric."
