My name is Makayla Montgomery, Kayla for short. I am 16 years old and I was killed by one of my best friends. Yes, I am talking to you and I'm dead, deal with it. All I remember is waking up in a graveyard, wearing a white gown that flowed to my ankles. I was confused at first, then when I turned around and read the headstone that said 'Here Lies Makayla Montgomery...' I realized they had succeeded with their plan, they had killed me. My murderer is someone I never thought it would be. I thought I could trust them. Turns out they just stabbed me in the back, literally. I guess it all started when my friends and I decided to go to the Homecoming after party...
