"Koiahna, you heard about the newest tragedy?" My friend, Scarlet, said sadly.
"Who was it?" I asked, slightly bored. There have been almost five deaths each two weeks, each stranger and more unreal then the next.
"I thought you would've heard by now, especially 'cause it's important," She took in a deep breath,
"It was Stacey Alavera. She was found dead in her pool, or that's what I heard. The poor girl." I was shocked, my knees started shaking, feeling like they could give any minute.
"No, n-not Stacey. It can't be, it just can't!" Tears came to my eyes. Stacey and I have known each other since my first tooth came out (which is how I met her. She LITERALLY helped me find my lost tooth).
Scarlet lightly put her arm around me, my shoulders started shaking, and tears ran like rivers down my face.
"WE need to find who killed her before they strike again." Scarlet tightly held me, letting me cry. We heard footsteps, and someone cleared there throat. Scarlet let go of me and looked up to see none other then, Tyler Johnson. Scarlet smiled sadly,
"Ty, Koiahna needed to know. You were coming to tell her, were you not?" He looked away, obviously embarrassed,
"Yeah, so? Also, I came here for another reason. We have a new," He grimaced, and said the last word through clenched teeth, "Student." Scarlet's eyes widened, then they went back to normal. I felt awkward, so I used the oldest excuse in the book to get out,
"Uh… OH! Look at the time! Don't wanna be late to class! Well, gotta go!" I hurriedly said that, and ran away.
