suicide [soo-uh-sahyd] (noun): the intentional taking of one's own life.
The idea of not wanting to wake up anymore. To have a better time while sleeping, that is, if one is able to sleep. The feeling one gets when waking up from a nightmare, but this time, it's waking up ~into~ a nightmare.
Five teenage girls. Five suicidal intentions.
One stressed student.
One from a disadvantaged family.
One from a neglectful traditional family.
One that's bullied.
One without an identity.
What happens when each receives a letter? A letter asking them to meet up at a high school, on New Year's Eve. There, all five of them will commit suicide together, so that as they reach their end, they won't be alone. That was the intention.
Then why did six girls show up?
A/N: This book is inspired by one of my favorite movies: 12 Suicidal Teens. You don't need to watch it to understand this story, but I do recommend watching it when you're bored! Also, this is not heavy on a "ship" but maybe your author might think about it.
