Story 1

I knew the minute I came to school, I should've stayed home. It wasn't the dark grey clouds or the mist that sat in the air. No, it was the constant stares like I shouldn't be there, like I didn't belong.

As soon as I pulled up to the large brown building I huffed. I hated school as much as the next teenager, but I didn't feel up for it. In fact my stomach, grumbled against it. I turned my silver Honda Civic into my parking spot. Well, it isn't mine but I've parked here for so long it practically has my name on it. It's a spot farthest away from the school, that way I can slip in and nobody would even notice. Tapping my fingers against the staring wheel, I sigh. "You can do this." I nod " Don't give in"I turn off the car and grab my bag. I slip it onto my shoulder and reach for my coffee cup. Despite the nervous chills, my hands do not shake. I sip the coffee and smile. I coffee was a person, I'd marry it. After stalling for as long as I possibly can, I step into the cold fall fog that I call home. It's always like this in Seattle. Great weather for murder. That gets me laughing and earns me unwanted stares. Once I compose myself I begin the long walk the school entrance. I didn't even take 3 steps before the whispers begin. My anxiety makes it easier to hear. I close my eyes and walk"So sad what happened""She must be so hurt""Poor thing."When I open my eyes I realize I haven't moved an inch. My hands start to shake and tears roll down my eyes. In a hurry I swipe them away. Great something else for them to talk about. I speed walk past the crowds of students looking down at my scuffed converses. Unfortunately, I bump into to someone."Watch where you're go-oh" They stop once they see it's me "Sorry bout that""S'okay" I nod and mutter."Hey," He speak again "Sorry about what happened to Jess""It wasn't your fault" I shrug bouncing slightly. I wish he's leave me alone."I know but you lost your best friend..." he frown with pity. No shit dumb ass, I'm aware"Yeah, well, I should go" I pant trying not to cry"Let me know if you need anything" He smiles"Sure" I say brushing past him. I don't even know you're name, I wanted to tell him but I knew it was nothing but an empty promise. No one ever means it. They tell themselves they do just to feel like they tried. Well congrats to him.I'm nearly there when I see it. I gasp, dropping my coffee. I cover my mouth and close my eyes. "No no no no no" I whimper full on sobbing now.No matter how tight I close my eyes the sight is already engraved. In the parking spot of my best friend Jess sits a memorial of Talor High's favorite student. Half of the pictures are of the both of us, best friends since diapers.The only person I could ever talk to. Gone"Are you okay?" I hear I open my eyes to see a crowd of people surrounding me. I gasp again, hating the feeling of so many people so close. I try to say something but nothing comes out. I shake my head and push through the crowd"Move move MOVE!" I yell and they part letting me leave. i run straight to the bathroom and lock the door. I drop my bag and run to the nearest corner of the room and sit."This is not real." I mutter slowing my breathing "It's all an act"I sigh at the confession running my hands through my newly shorten hair. I don't like it but I have too. It'll be even shorter once I leave. This time for good. I stand up, fully composed and even smiling. I look in the mirror"They believed you." I nod with a full grinMy phone buzzes in my pocket. I jump a little even though I was expecting it.
Did it work?-M
Yep, I reply

I start to laugh putting my phone back into my pocket. I glance one more time into the mirror and utter the words I've never said aloud"I killed Jessie Mitchell." I smirk. "He's dead."
