I missed the deadline because of…the incident. Yet another thing I lost because of her.
January 7th Lake Drowning of Local Teenager Ruled An Accident by Special Investigation
Felix Aguilar is student body vice president, Jena’s on-again-off-again boyfriend of two years, and the third leg in our exclusive little group of perfectionists.
They want me to carry the weight of what happened in September for every minute of the rest of my life—I mean, how dare I even think about having a life or moving on.
I hope whoever’s doing this gets super herpes.
Ha!
“Dude, your dad is a dick,” Jena mumbles, pulling me toward the Subaru. I unlock the car. “He’s not a dick. He’s driven.” “Yeah, a driven bag of dicks.”
Baha!
“There’s a difference between being up someone’s ass and having their back. But I understand why the concept might be foreign to you, since you’ve alienated everyone who might have had yours.”
Oh!!
You don’t play with the snake that bit you, Brooke. You suck out the venom and run.”
“Standing here arguing about what happened isn’t going to change the past, Claire. You’re always going to take your dad’s side, and I’ll always take mine. Why can’t that stay between them? This whole thing is between our dads, not us. So why are you so obsessed with making me miserable? All I’ve done is try to be nice to you or stay out of your way completely.”
“Like what? You were there. Anything I know, so do you. Why aren’t you the one getting these calls? If anything, you were more involved in what happened that night than I was.”
Whaaaa
Everyone loves to see a prominent public family topple, and in this county, the Goodwins have the furthest to fall.
Ominous
If I needed any more proof that my best friend is part of this whole fucked-up scheme, hearing her echo the words that asshole in the mask said to me, while trying to kill me, is the nail in her coffin.
I smile, placing my hands on her shoulders. “Sorry, Claire. Goodwins don’t save lives.”
Bitch!
Claire didn’t deserve to die just because she was getting on your goddamned nerves!”
Facts!
But I can finally see it for what it really was. You and Claire are the same person. You’re both backstabbing social climbers who would do anything to get ahead. No matter the cost. You were just better at playing the victim than she was, and I’ve fallen for it for the last fucking time.
Yess!
The protection of the Goodwin name always comes first. At all costs.
