This is my first story, I hope you like it ^-^

It was a dark and stormy night, as Courtney Crimsen got out of the shower and prepared herself for her date. She had looked forward to this date for a long time - she had met her date, Madelaine Hansen, on Tumblr and had chatted with her for a long time. They then met up a few times on a cafe on the edge of town, but they would both not consider these to be "dates". As it happened, they would now finally have time to be themselves and see where this relationship was going.

Courtney had put on a pink dress, and put on dark purple eyeliner, and dark blue lipstick, as she thpught she should look unique this evening. She also painted her nails red - a thing she had not done for several years.

Courtney had by now graduated and tried not to talk too much with people from her old highschool, as this brought back several painful memories. There was especially one name she desperately tried to forget.

She looked at herself in the mirror, lost in thoughts.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. She jumped up, running exitedly to the door to open it.

She smiled to herself in exitement, and opened the door, expecting the dreamy smile of Madelaine.

But on the other side of the door was someone she did not expect. In fact, it was someone she never expected to see again in her life.

A loud scream fell over the neighbourhood.

Ani prepared her chapatis that morning, and filled them with spicy chilli. She smiled to herself as she longed to see Clay again, despite having seen him the previous day. She also thought of how amazing it would be when they finally would graduate the following summer, and could not help but think of how ggreat it would be when they would study abroad after the summer break.

Suddenly Anis mother came. "Amorowat Anysia Achola, be careful out there! A former student of your highschool was found death last night!"

Ani almost rolled her eyes when she heard that. "Mum, Clay will drive me as usual, and I still don´t think anything will happen anyway." She left.

Ani was wearing a dark purple dress and black shoes that could be used for quickstep, and a black jacket. She had also put on silver earrings.

As she waited outside, Clay finally drove by and picked her up. She smiled at him. But he looked kinda disturbed.

"What´s wrong, Clay?" she asked.

"Oh, nothing, but I heard that someone I used to know got murdered last night!"

"Oh, my mum told me about it!" Ani answered.

As they arrived on the school, everyone was talking about Courtney. In fact, a photo of her surounded by flowers was hanging in the common room.

Jessica stood there, staring at the picture, not knowing what to say, on the verge of tears.
