really good kisser too.”
“Sylania, are you happy about this? I mean, he is the guy who killed Grace, and his own sister.”
What is she doing? I came over here to tell her a guy who I like kissed me, and she is being so negative.
It was like she was reading my thoughts because then she said, “Look, I just don’t want him to hurt you... or kill you.”
Oh, so that is what she was doing. She was trying to protect me.
I gave her a hug and said, “Thanks for caring about me so much, but don’t worry. I will be extra careful.”

The next day was the day of the dance. After school, my mom took Kiara and me to the mall to buy dresses.
Kiara bought a cute spaghetti-strap, lime-green dress with sparkles all over the front and back. The color goes perfect with her tan complexion. I got a light blue strapless dress that is like those cone shaped dresses. It comes down to a slant, like that.
We went back to my house and put on make-up and I did her hair.
“Sylania, why don’t you do something with your hair?”
“No, I don’t want to. I like my hair the way it is.”
When we were done, the door bell rang. Kiara and I went down to answer it. We opened the door and Nick and Derek were standing there.
“Hi, guys,” I said as I smiled at Nick. He was wearing a black suit with a tie. I looked over at Derek. Wow! He was wearing a tux!
“Derek,” Kiara said. “You look really classy.”
We laughed and Nick said, “Are you ready to go to the dance?”


CHAPTER 14
The Dance
(Nick)

Sylania and Kiara both look amazing. Derek and I drove to Sylania’s house to pick the girls up. When they came out we all got into Derek’s dark-blue convertible Mercedes and started driving to the dance.
The whole time we were in the car the girls kept talking about who was going to the dance with who, or what their favorite song is. We got to the school, and the music was so loud you could here it from outside!
“Hey! Let’s go party at the dance, yo!” We all looked over at Derek.
“Derek, that was just really... annoying. Don’t do that again, okay?” I said that before either of the girls spoke because I knew they would have said something really mean.
We all went into the gym where the dance was, and someone took a picture of all of us.
“For the yearbook,” the person said.
“Hey Derek, want to go get some punch,” Kiara asked.
“Uh, yeah sure. See you later Nick. Adios chica,” he said looking at Sylania.
“See you soon guys,” Sylania said waving.
“So, would you like to dance, or do you want something to eat,” I asked.
She looked around than said, “Let’s dance for a while.”
I led her out to the dance floor and we started dancing. There was a fast song on, and Sylania and I were in the center of the dance floor. Sylania, surprisingly, is an amazing dancer. Everyone was staring at her.
“Yeah, you go girl,” or “Way to go Sylania,” were all people were shouting. All the lights fell on her, as everyone gathered around watching her.
The song ended, and a slow song came on. Everyone turned, or walked away and we started dancing together.
I said, “Sylania, where did you learn to dance like that?”
She smiled and answered, “My foster parents own the dance studio down the street. When I was three they started teaching me.”
“Well, you are an outstanding dancer.”
“Thanks, you don’t look so bad yourself.”
I laughed because she was making fun of me. We were turning in circles just talking.
All the sudden, I felt a cold chill. The same chill as the one I felt in the hallway a few days ago.
“Sylania, I will be right back.”
“Oh, okay, see you in a minute.”
I walked out into the hall, where I knew I would be safe to talk to her.
“Okay, come out, come out wherever you are, Amy!”
Amy showed up, and she did not look happy. “What are you doing here? I thought killing Grace would have driven you back home!”
“I am not going home, ever! So just forget about it!”
She looked hurt at first, and then she put a sly grin on her face. “Oh, you will go home, when someone else dies.”
She left, and I knew she was about to do something terrible.
I went back to the dance, and Kiara walked up to me. “Hi, Nick! Listen can I talk to you...alone?”
“Sure. Come on out to the hallway.”
We went into the hallway, and when I turned around she held a steak knife up and plunged it at me!
I smacked it out of her hands, but when I did it left a scar in her! “Kiara! What did you do that for? You just tried to kill me!”
“Oh, yes it seems I did. My bad.”
She ran back into the dance, and up to the DJ. “Hey everybody,” she shouted into the microphone. “Nick just tried to kill me! He almost did to, look at the scar he left on me!”
Everyone just turned to me.
Sylania came up, and she looked angry. “Nick, why did you try to kill her? You told me you wouldn’t do that anymore! That’s the whole reason I changed my mind so you could go out with me! Well guess what? I have news of my own. We are through!” She ran away, and didn’t look back.
“Kiara, we need to talk. NOW!”
We went into the hallway, and I went to my locker. I opened it, and pulled out my knife. “Kiara, you made me really mad. Now, why?”
“You don’t want me to tell you. You want to kill me. Do it! Kill me! Sylania just broke up with you because of me! You almost died because of me!”
“No, killing you is not the right thing to do,” I said.
“You don’t want to do the right thing otherwise you wouldn’t have taken out the knife.”
“I can’t do it. You are her best friend. I don’t want to hurt her.”
“You just did by trying to kill me,” she said in a more babyish teasing voice.
“I DIDN’T TRY TO KILL YOU!”
“It doesn’t matter! Everyone believes me! Not you, because you are a MURDER.”
I couldn’t control my anger. She lied, and now Sylania and everybody else hates me!
I raised the knife, and plunged it through Kiara’s heart. She let out a little cry, and fell on the floor, a pool of blood forming. When she fell though, Amy came out of her.
“Well, well, well. Look’s like you killed poor Kiara. Too bad. Oh, what will everyone think? What will Sylania think? Poor, poor Kiara.” She laughed and vanished.
I can’t believe it. I did kill Kiara!


CHAPTER15
The End
(Sylania)

Nick is such a back stabber! He goes behind my back, and tries to kill Kiara! We were having such a good time, too!
We just got to the dance, and we started dancing. It was a little weird; the way I dance is different. I just think of the beat, and then it’s like I’m in a whole other world. When the song ended, I came back and realized everyone was staring at me.
Nick and I started dancing as a slow song came on. He asked me how I learned to dance like that, and I told him about my parent’s dance studio. Then he left to go attempt to murder Kiara! I knew I shouldn’t have given him a second chance! He didn’t deserve it! I went to go talk to Kiara about what happened.
“Kiara! Kiara! Where is sh-” I screamed for what felt like forever.

I had walked out into the hallway, and Kiara was lying there on the floor...dead! The scene was so gruesome; I had to try very hard to not throw up. There was a pool of blood around her, and a big whole where her heart should be. And her eyes. Her dark-blue eyes were wide open in terror. Her mouth was in a smile though, as if she was satisfied.
I started to go get a teacher, when I saw Nick sitting on the floor leaning against the lockers. I got so angry. I figured it out.
“Nick, why did you do that?! You are such a horrible person! You killed Kiara just because you didn’t like the fact that she ratted you out!” I walked up, and realized he was crying.
“Go away, Sylania,” he sobbed.
“You know what? You need help!” I yelled back.
“I told you, go away!” His eyes, though red from crying, were glistening with anger.
“No Nick! Why did you kill her? It is not right! You need to tell me!”
“Sylania, Amy was Kiara! Amy possessed Kiara and made me kill her! Just stop yelling at me!”
I have never heard him yell like that. He sounded angry...and scared.
“Nick, why are you making this stuff up? Tell me the reason, and I can help you!”
“I don’t need help! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!”
“No, I’m trying to help you!”
He stood up and walked closer to me. Something gleaming caught my eye. I looked down to his hand, and saw a knife covered in blood!
“I told you to go away, Sylania.”
“Nick, what are you doing?”

“You are so smart and stupid! You could have walked away, but now only one of us will walk away.”
He kept walking closer to me.
“Nick, you don’t have to do this!”
He smiled crazily at me. “Yes I do! You think I’m crazy, but soon you won’t be thinking anything!”
I started crying. “Please,” I pleaded. “Stop this!”
“Too late. This is your last dance, Sylania!”
He raised his knife and pulled it down. I put down my head and... I put it up.
“All right class, this is Nick’s first day, so be nice to him,” Mr. Digiro said to us.
I looked around, and screamed.
