Chapter 1
I walk up the stone steps leading up to Westerburg high and breathe in deeply. Don't you dare mess this up, Jess. I thought, pulling open one of the heavy doors and head to the main office where my older brother once stood. Jay is dead. I force myself to reassure myself.
I look up at one of the secretaries and smile. Not the creepy smile that my father and Jay both had, I smile my mom's smile. The actually happy looking face that she made at me the last time I saw her alive. "Jessica. Jessica Dean?" The lady studied me after I told her my name. I was wearing my brother's trench coat. It was big on him so obviously it was huge on me. I looked like a little girl dressed up in her mother's clothes.
"Yes? Why?" I tilted my head. I knew why she looked at me like that. One year prior, Jay had tried to blow up the school. He was also seen at the crime scene of more than two "Suicide" cases. But I know why he was there. So did the secretary apparently.
"Hmmm. Okay here's your schedule." She said, quickly moving on and looking at the door and nodding. I checked my watch and started walking down the hall towards my first class. I assumed nobody would know about my brother. I was wrong.
