Prologue

"What's her name? Judy?", whispered Mr. Jonathan Lock, the principal of West Ocean High, as he briskly walked to the auditorium alongside his secretary, Mrs. Sara Ramirez.

"Julie, sir.", she quickly replied. "She was the Junior class president..." she added mumbling.

"Oh my god! I'm sorry Sara, there have been so many kids... it's starting to get hard to remember their names now!" He said as he threw his hands in the air in front of him, in frustration.

"Who the hell would want to murder 4 kids in 4 months?! This is ridiculous!" he whispered harshly to her while staring ahead.

"I'm not sure, sir, but you're about to go on.", replied Mrs. Ramirez as she clutched her clipboard in her right hand and checked her watch on her left wrist, noticing there were roughly 2 minutes until the Memory of Life service being held in the auditorium started, celebrating the life of the most recently passed student Julie Richards.

As the technical stage managers rechecked the lighting, curtains, and Mr. Lock's mic set up, Mr. Lock couldn't help but start to wonder to himself,"Who will be next?".

"Well Jon, that's a horrible question to ask yourself." he replied to himself in his head.

But honestly, who will be next? Will it ever end? How could one person/people just kill random, sweet, smart young students who had nothing in common and nothing but positive futures ahead of them?

Keep reading and you'll find out the truth behind the walls of West Ocean High. What lies ahead may threaten the life of every student that walks its halls...
