Okay I know that Emma does not have a brother that is a senior in high school but were gonna pretend that she does.

Chapter Three

When Emma got to the boys' dorm everyone was waiting for her in a circle.

"We're gonna play 'never have I ever'" Carlyn said.

"My idea," Blair added.

"Cool," Emma said. "I'll be right back, I just wanna go say hi to my brother." She went in to say hi and came back a few minutes later. She walked over and sat in the circle between Shawn and Zack. "Who want to start?"

"I will," Carlyn said.

"Okay," everyone agreed.

"'Kay, never have I ever…kissed someone." Then, since everyone had, they took a sip of water. They were supposed to use beer but they didn't want to risk it on their first night at school.

Blair was next. "Never have I ever fooled around on a public beach." Only Emma and Ryan took a sip.

"Never have I ever…" Kevin started. "Shot someone." That was the question that Emma had been dreading. She quickly took a small sip and hoped that no one would notice, but Ryan did.

"Is that why you came here?" he asked her.

"Maybe…no…I don't know….Everything just…fell apart."

"How," Zack pushed.

"I dunno…one minute everything was fine, and the next everything was just…gone…"

"What happened?"

"Well, I shot someone…my best friend died…my boyfriend got arrested and I almost did, but for things that we didn't do…and my little sister went into a coma."

"Wow," Blair said. "That's harsh."

"Yeah," everyone agreed.

"How did it happen?" Luckily Emma was willing to answer everything.

"Well I was walking on the beach with Joey, my boyfriend…and up ahead we saw two people fighting. A guy and a girl. So I said that we should go back the way we came. But Joey kept walking, in a trance, almost like he didn't hear me. Maybe he didn't. So we went a little closer, and it was too dark to recognize and guy because he has a hat on, but I recognized the girl. It was my best friend Sophie. So me and Joey ran over and tried to stop the guy. A whole bunch of stuff fell out of his pocket and we saw a gun fall out. So Joey picked it up and handed it to me. I walked a few feet away from the guy and told him to stop. But instead he picked up a really big stick from the ground and hit Sophie over the head…and started to run…I don't think he meant to kill her…but I was holding a gun, so I shot it. I shot a few times before I got him, but I eventually got him right in the back. The police were starting to get there so Joey told me to give him the gun and run. He threw the gun into the water because it had my fingerprints on in. Next morning I turned on the news and Joey was being arrested for illegal drug and gun possession, and murder. Sophie was dead, and so was the guy who killed her, but they couldn't find his body. So everyone thought that Joey had killed Sophie. As it turned out, my sister was in a car accident that night. She was driving with her older boyfriend and a police car, probably trying to get to the beach, pulled in front of them, and her boyfriend didn't have a chance to brake. She went straight into a coma. It was the worst night of my life."
