This story begins like many others. Alice Simmons wakes up, gets dressed and gets on the bus to school. So begins a typical day for her. On the bus, she worries about the small things like "Is there a test today?" "Should I have ironed my pants?" "Is that dog reading my mind?". Silly, stupid things. The day was February 14th, Valentines Day, but don't misunderstand. Alice completely forgot the holiday. Therefore, this story is not about love, no. It is centered around another, equally irrational emotion. Spite. And it is this spite that will lead to the deaths of many people.
