• Prologue

    I picked up the yearbook off the table. the pages flew until it stopped at her picture.
    "oh ali, i love you so much.... but i guess i can never have you....."
    i picked up the hand-made knife i'd been working on.
    "i guess this will do..."
    wait, wont this hurt? i should hold on to something...
    my eyes scanned my small room.
    an apple! perfect!
    i grasped the apple for support.
    i slowly lowered the wood to my pulsing vein for the first time.
    Oh!
    the apple rolled across the wooden floor
    that... that almost felt... good.
    i lowered the knife again.
    and again.
    soon or a later i lost count...


    Chapter 1 Part 1
    as i pulled into the school parking lot, i saw the usual: lez and zack standing around, while mike and kat were missing, probably in the car making out. or worse.
    as i got out of the car i heard them say something about the funeral before stopping when i closed the door.
    "hey man, im sorry about ali, you ok?"
    "its ok lez. im fine"
    "ok, if you want to talk just-"
    "lez, im fine."
    "just want to let you know im here for you"
    zack sat there speechless -like normal- and awkwardly turning side to side -like normal- and lez, -his real name is leslie, and he wants us to call him lez, with a z- always there for me. he's always stuck with me. i dont know what i'd do if something happened to him. actually, probably what i did last night.
    zack's voice startled me
    "hey, you doin' the wristband look?"
    "just today..."
    somehow, i was always able to get away with comments like that. they never have picked up on the true meaning.
    "hey did you see tha-"
    mike's car stated shaking side-to-side.
    we all just stared awkwardly at the car for a few minutes.
    mike's mirror slammed into mine, making the one on my junkie crash to the ground, and of course, his was untouched.
    i knocked on back window.
    "*gasp* *gasp* what *gasp* do you want? *gasp*?
    beside mike i could see kat's naked body. i could clearly see her breasts, which she thought mikes chest was covering.
    "gasp, well, gasp, (he gave me that "oh, very funny" look) you took out my mirror and class starts in like 2 minutes."
    "well, im sure *gasp* he can be quick about it"
    im sure he only lasts 2 minutes anyway...
    "i cant keep covering for you guys... and girls, and this is about my mirror."
    "ill pay for it..."
    and you probably paid for...
    "what ever..."
    i walked to first period with zack awkwardly.
    "so...how was it?"
    "what?"
    "kat."
    "shut up!"

    Chapter 1 Part 2
    mike never showed.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "woah you see that ty?"
    "why is there..."

    mike and kat got out of the mustang.

    "its siren is blaring"

    They didnt even park.

    "oh my god!"

    mike's face slammed into the ground.

    "what the hell?..."

    Kat was screaming

    "what's happening?"

    mike was flailing and kicking

    "what is she...?"

    kat tackled the officer

    "GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF OF HIM!!!"

    "OH MY GOD!"

    "KAT!"

    "MIKE!"

    "LET GO OF HER!"

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The other officer picked kat up with one arm and brought her towards the crowd. Mike was handcuffed and shoved inside the police car.
    "Kat what happened?"
    she ran in what seemed to have a random destination.
    but we knew where she was going.
    we waited a minute before casually as possible leaving.
    me first.
    then lez and zack.
    i could hear kat's crying long before i got to the hill.
    "kat... are you ok? what happened?"
    "he... he...."
    kat ran off, knocking lez down as she rounded the corner.
    "kat are you-"

    but she was already gone.
