viii. PREFACE
We are the kids that no one can kill. Instead, we are the ones that kill. We take lives and make them our own. We lie. We steal. We kill. And yet, no one bats an eye. We are the kids at Westcott Preparatory that are predictable. Everyone knows we will do something wrong. They know we will break. They know we will be the end of this story. But we aren't going to end it here. Not yet. We have too much to live for. We can't - no, we won't end it yet. This story started with us in tenth grade. I don't know when it will end, but, it won't end now.
- FOSTER ASHFORD, THE GENIUS.
