Hello, my name is Tess, i've been a reporter for my school paper, i've always wanted to write the truth, and because of that i've did not had many friends, my editor Mia is trying to get me off the team but she doesn't want to get in hot water.
I've have a problem with authorities in school too, they pronnuced me as a "tabloid writer" and as someone who wants to make other students look like dumb.
But i have my path and journey and i will continute to write the truth.
All of sudden a book is thrown at top of my desk, and it is my editor Mia.
Mia-Woke up Tess, i've had once again to defend your report in the school paper.
Tess-Why, i did not wrote anything bad.
Mia-You mentioned Principal of the School like 10 times.
Tess-Yeah, but...
Mia-You are going down a very very wrong path, you need to stop being a sensationalist, and be little politicaly correct.
Tess-Are you kidding me, c'mon i cannot believe you shit yourself!
If you do not have a courage to be editor, then step away and let me be that.
Mia-Do not provoke only person who is trying to protect you from getting your ass removed from the team!
Tess-I just made an offer for your own good.
Mia-Do not worry about me, today write something normal.
At the Evening Tess was sitting on her bed looking outside the window
Tess Pov
I cannot get over my head at the fact that people can be so scared.
Five minutes later Tess was about to go sleep, when she hears a laughing outside as she had open window
Tess Pov
What are they doing here?
Tess sees her school mates Veracity, Harris, Spyder, Mark and Ryan as they were screaming out loud.
Tess Pov
I cannot understand what are they talking about, are they arguing or not, but they look like they are drunk.
Veracity-Call that asshole already!
Spyder-No, he said that he will be here in 10 minutes.
Mark-Here he comes.
Tess Pov
All of sudden car showes up, and all of them entered the vehicle and they leave the place.
Next day
Tess Pov
I wanted to write a news how i saw my school mates outside my house but i kinda stop myself before i found out more about what is going on, i decide to ask Spyder because he kinda knows to babble out stuff.
Spyder-Hi Tess!
Tess-Hi Spyder, i kinda have one question for you.
Spyder-Private or is this for School Paper?
Tess-Both, well see i want to make this months edition of School Paper something different, i know that you along with Mark, Ryan, Harris and Veracity are one group of friends, and what i know too is that groups in high schools are sometimes assembled of people who trust each other and they are loyal friends to one another, and i know that five of you are very great friends.
How do you manage to remain so tight?
Spyder-Well hmmmm...there is a code that we have, that if someone have a problem with one of us, we won't let each other down.
Tess-To which exact point are you as a individual ready to defend your friends?
Tess Pov
Before Spyder could finish the sentence, Veracity showes up.
Veracity-Tess, It's really suprise that you are still in the School Paper team after what happened last week.
Tess-Well Free Speech.
Veracity-Spyder cannot finish this interview right now, we need him.
Tess-Actually i would love to interview you as a group.
Spyder-That would be cool, but we must finish our project first.
Tess-What project?
Veracity-Spyder talks shit, we don't have time today, but we are going to see by end of the week what can we do.
Tess Thank you.
Tess Pov
Following day i tried to follow those five around the school in order to see what is going on, i did not have luck as they really had a feeling that i follow them and every conversation they had was like they whispered to each other.
Am i crazy or they really try to hide something?
Tess Hunter Pov
A week passed and i got nothing special about what those five are up to.
I must get to them somehow?
Later that day
Tess Hunter Pov
During lunch break at the school i decide to get close to one of the boys, and i notice Harris sitting at the table alone, i get close and sit next to him.
Tess-May i?
Harris-Well Tess... You know It's not that i have something against you, but you know that i sit with Walker Brothers, Spyder and Veracity.
Tess-I have one question...
Harris-Ah, yes Veracity said that you wanted to interview us as a group, well last week we could not find the time.
It's still not the time Veracity showes up. Tess can you still wait a little bit with your interview.
Tess-I don't know, i can but i really would love to make that interview with you guys
Harris-I don't know Veracity, c'mon we can sacrifice at least half a hour for one interview.
Veracity-On Friday after school, ok?
Tess-Thanks
Tess Hunter Pov (Thursday morning)
Rest of the day as well as Tuesday and Wednesday flew by and nothing special happened, well at least i was not attacked by nobody this time because i write something that is considered a "taboo" because i really had nothing and i was disappointed that in the edition where i write too there is no real problem that is written about, is just some basic trash that no one reads.
Later that day
Tess Hunter Pov
As we had a lunch break as i exited the classroom, i bumped into a brown-haired bearded guy.
Seth-Excuse myself, my name is Seth Harper., i'm in little rush, did you see Walker brothers?
Before i could answer someone shout at Seth, and i turn around and i see Ryan comes close to us.
Ryan- Seth what are you doing here?
Seth-Are we going to talk about that here?
Ryan-No, excuse us Tess.
As i tried to follow them, i heard that someone is calling my name.
Mia-Where are you whole day.
Tess Mia can you wait a little bit, I'm in middle of the investigation.
Mia-Not again with your crap.
Tess-It's not a crap, i need to cover this story.
Mia-You are just a fucking school journalist.
Tess-Don't yell at me, I'm free to do whatever i want.
Mia-Do it but your crazy stories will not go in the school paper until i I'm Editor.
Tess-So that means that I'm removed?
Mia-No, you can still be part of the team, but your crazy stories no.
