Instigators

Epilogue

In the end, we all learned from each other. We'll never drink and drive, sleep with each other's boyfriends, or leave someone to die.

The Instigators taught us a lot too, but we stopped posting. We hid the username and password for the admin account in a book in the library. Whoever finds it next, can do whatever they want with the website.

We've done bad things, but we're not bad people. We've forgiven, but not forgotten. We're friends, but not best friends.

But we'll always be connected to one another in someway.

Tiana

So, I'm off to college. I'll be majoring in Medicine at Syracuse when the fall semester starts. I want to help as many people as I can to make up for Lucas.

I visit his grave every week for an hour or so. Sometimes Tario comes with me, but not often. He wasn't very close with Lucas.

Tario is also going to Syracuse, but on a basketball scholarship. He said he wasn't going to college if he didn't go to the same college as me.

Sylvia hasn't spoken to me since I confessed. She probably never will again. Mom and Dad still love and support me, but I know I don't deserve it.

I'll always have the guilt following me around, but I'll always have Tario and my family's love and support.

Miley

After everything that happened this past year, I've decided to take a year for myself before attending college. Kendall was going to Florida State so I'll still be able to see him everyday.

I'm not sure what I would do without him. He's the reason I'm still sane. He was wrongly gotten, but rightfully mine.  He's all I have left.

I don't talk to Grace and Tiana as much as I used to. We're all too busy trying to move on. I'll never forget them. How could I? I don't have any harsh feelings. I feel better to know it was Tiana. It's better than not knowing who did it.

I visit Mom every weekend and visit Lucas everyday. I'll never leave this town just because Lucas is buried here. I'll always love him.

Grace

There's not much new with me. I've been interning at my Dad's business as well as majoring in Business at University of Florida.

Rico is extremely smart and got into Yale. We video chat every night and text every minute. We're still not a couple, but I'm happy with what we have right now. In the future, I'm sure we will be able to be together exclusively.

I wish I could've kept my baby, but I don't hate my parents for making me abort him. I probably wasn't ready for him anyway. I wasn't very stable last year, but I'm sure you noticed.

The Instigators ruins everything. So whoever you are, if you find it, use it wisely. It's like a dog. If you don't train it, it'll get out of control.

I'll always remember: Secrets are just mistakes for liars.
