I once knew a girl in middle and high school who was quite peculiar. I'm not saying every kid was normal during this period of their developing lives, but this girl was definitely strange. She looked just like any other student, with tan skin and long brown hair. Her eyes were light green and they shimmered in the flourescent classroom lighting. She wore a different dress every day; I wasn't sure if she even owned one pair of pants. Regardless, she didn't look as bad as her personality suggested.

Sorry I didn't text back earlier, my phone died. Everything went well. " A wave of relief washed over me. I was able to eat my lunch in peace. I grabbed the TV remote and turned the TV on. I switched to the news channel to see if anything had yet been settled with Miranda, but the news broadcasts only made me cringe. "At 11:24 this morning, sixteen year old Bridget ***** was witnessed being stabbed brutally by an unidentified teenage girl wearing a short lavender dress and sandals.
