Sadie
We all knew a Sadie; a person who walked amongst the rest of us with the amount of confidence that we couldn't seem to access; the girl who raised her head higher than the rest of ours and opened her mouth with more confidence than we could ever have. And no matter how bad she looked or what we said about her, she never broke. Not in front of us. Because she, Sadie, was ABOVE ALL of us.
Sadie was no cheerleader. No blonde with blue eyes. No rich girl with a swimming pool in her backyard. She wasn't tall and curvy. Sadie was any of us. She was a five foot two, Asian-American, seventeen year old student of North Brook Public High school.
She was the girl everyone knew and dreaded being in the presence of. The girl who had so many friends that she didn't have any at all. We hate Sadie. Or at least dislike her. Because Sadie doesn't need our approval anyway. She has enough confidence to fuel her ego. No need for praise from us. When she does get our praise, she lets us know that she know she's smart, pretty and talented. She knows she is capable and us telling her doesn't change a thing about the way she feels about herself. Because Sadie loves herself enough....Until she suddenly dies. Suicide they say. How could it be? What could've caused that? It couldn't be. It wasn't. Someone did this. But who? Who would kill SADIE?

December
Sadie is found laying on the stage of the school auditorium, a knife in her stomach and blood soaking the paint covered overalls she wore. The bottom of her sneakers was covered in shattered glass from Christmas ornaments and lipstick smeared on her lips. Her leg is twisted in an unnatural position and a tear stain is running down the side of her face. She had died a painful, unhappy death, by the hands of someone she knew.
