Within the screaming, a gunshot was fired. No one noticed this until it was too late. 10 minutes passed, then the lights came back on.”

Ashton Parker was still breathing, but barely. He was dead as far as everyone knew. Emily Bailey and Taylor Gilbert knelt by his side. Emily grabbed Ashton’s hand as Taylor cried. The rest of the school, it seemed, gathered around Ashton Parker. Several of Ashton’s other friends were sniffling. Everyone else seemed to be wondering who could have killed such a great guy.

As he drifted off into endless sleep, Emily kissed Ashton on the cheek. He whispered something to her, something that only she was able to hear. And then he died.

Emily and Taylor stood up. Their faces, along with several others, were red and puffy from tears. The crowd separated for them, and Taylor went off to the nurse's office to alert her. Emilt=y, however, went to the bathroom to dry off her tears.

On the way there, a sentence repeated itself over and over in Emily’s mind.

“There’s a bullet in my body, but you can make it. Keep on going.””

Emily was now determined to find whoever killed Ashton.

The girl's bathroom was almost empty.

Almost.

"You're crying. Perhaps over that boy?" A voice asked from behing Emily was she was wiping her tears. She turned around.

"Who are you?" Emily asked.

"Karli." the girl answered.

"What are you talking about, Karli?" Emily asked.

"He is dead now, and I am absolutely sure that the death was not for no reason." Karli said emotionlessly.

"JUST GET OUT. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THAT. MY BEST FRIEND IS DEAD AND NEVER COMING BACK. DON'T TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY KNOW." Emily screamed at her.
