Inside JT’s house-late afternoon

a girl is at a desk she has short dark brown hair that is tangled up. she is wearing torn black skin tight jeans a holey purple t shirt she has unlaced boots on that go to her knees. she has pale white skin and bright green eyes.

JT writing:

Today will be the first and last day I will write in this journal. This past year has been a gift and a curse to me. I have changed so much that I fear that I can never be the same again. The thing is this is all about my sisters, Abby and Debbi. We were best friends we did everything together and they showed me the popular side of school. Yet they held a dark secret and because of this, they have caused me to take drastic measures. Even though they were my best friends, I had to kill them and within these pages, you will find out why.

New School: morning

JT enters a new school. Her clothes are worn and she gets stares from the students. she wears old torn up jeans and a plain black t shirt her hair is long and dark brown, and in tangles she smells because she hasn't showered in a while.

Abby:

You are the new student right?

jt:

Yes, I just moved here from out of town

ABBY:

Well I'm Abby and if you need any help, I'm here for you It looks like we have first period together.

JT:

Yeah that sounds good...

abby is not discouraged by JT's silence and continues to chatter while they walk to class.

In the class room august

they walk into the class room the school is brand new and everyone who goes to the school is very wealthy.

JT:

So how long have you been going here?

ABBY:

I've gone to school in this area since middle school. How about you? Where did you move from?

JT:

Well ever since my dad died, I move around a lot this is the second new school that I have been to in the past few
