Hate List

by Jennifer Brown

“If it makes any difference to you, I love Briley. I’ve loved Briley for a long time. We’ll probably get married.”

That was a little harsh

“I’ll leave my new address and phone number with your mother,”

Hes so heartless

“Sometimes I forget that you were also a hero that day. All I see is the girl who wrote a list of people she wanted dead.”

Surprised she said that to her

“Sometimes I’m so busy seeing you as the enemy who dismantled my family’s life I forget to see that you were the one who stopped the shooting. You were the one who saved that girl’s life. I’ve never thanked you for that, have I?”

No offense, but her parents suck at being parents

“Don’t you want one of these?” someone called to me from behind. I turned to see Josh holding up a beer. “This is a party, man.”

Im nervous theyre going to drug her. Kinda like Carrie vibes

“That’s not the point, Ted. He threatened her. He scared the hell out of her. And he had a gun.”

Shes more of a sensible parent than her actual parents

“I think he had no idea why he did it, man.” It was a possibility I’d never considered before.

I agree
