Last Friday
by Zoe Balaconis
hey you there
yea
how are you doing
can’t stop thinking about nicky
isn’t it crazy?
totally
you always think those things couldn’t happen in MY town
not at MY school
one second someone’s there in your third period gym class
someone youve known since third grade
and then POOF
and what a way to poof -- horrible
what do you think she was feeling at the end
i dont want to think about it
i just hope she wasnt too scared
or in too much pain
uma i think she was
didnt you hear mrs ketty talking about it
how it happened
i know they think she was murdered
and just down the street from school
they found her at the park right?
too scary. im never going to that park again
my mom says im never going outside again
who do you think did it? some stranger?
i dont know which is worse
if its just some freak off the streets or someone we know
OMG chad just texted me -- random
i still kinda have a crush on him
how can you think about that right now????
sorry. ur right
okay weird
what
chad’s asking me to say he was with me on friday afternoon if anyone asks
who would ask? what a weirdo
granted a really cute weirdo
that guy is always lying to someone
he probably ditched detention or something and his parents are after him
ha ur probs right
i mean i WISH we had been together friday afternoon
probably his weird way of asking you out. like asking you out in the past
hahaha yeah like if anyone asks we totally made out on friday
you freak
i would be psyched if he asked me out
and he hasn’t gone out with anyone in a while so its about timeeeee
who was his last gf?
uhhh sarah? and then before that he and nicky went out
but that was like a while ago
wonder if he’s broken up about it at all
he went out with nicky???
yeah? what
girl.
why would he ask you to lie for him if he didn’t know something about nicky
about the day she was killed
wait what??? no way. chads a weirdo but hes not a murderer
when was she found
Saturday morning
some runner found her
so she couldve been KILLED friday afternoon
chad knows something
its not that uma i promise you
ur jumping to conclusions like whoa
dont lie for him tara
you could go to jail
we need to tell the police
tell them what? im beginning to think ur just jealous
what???
u used to like chad too
i remember
maybe you still do
and now the second he might like me youre all hes a murderer
if someone doesn’t like you they must be a psychopath of course
no its not like that
he’s trying to use you for his alibi
UG get over urself
just admit its sketchy and if anything its a weird coincidence
ok fine i admit it
ok it is kinda sketch
but now what
i don’t want to rat him out for nothing
hmm
text him back
maybe flirt with him?
ask where he was on friday if he wasnt with you
ok
hold on
ok this is getting weird
what??
he told me to stay out of it
or he’ll come find me??
what the hell
Tara hes guilty
stop talking to him
dont say anything else
save your texts
ok now hes saying he knows ive liked him all year
and he likes me too
he wants to go out this week!
hes just playing you!
i just went on facebook
so…
and there are tons of old pics of him and nicky
like seriously
he was obsessed with her
so what? first girlfriend, seems serious
they always post a lot of pics
what if he was pissed theyd broken up
or what if he was pissed she wouldnt get back together
threatened her and it got out of hand
where does nicky live
birdneck point
THAT WOULD TAKE HER RIGHT BY THE PARK
youre freaking me out
he probably was following her home from school and she was trying to lose him
and he offed her and left the body and now is trying to cover his tracks
ok i hate to say it but that makes a lot of sense
keep talking to me in case he gets mad again
but call the police
calling now
im going to tell them everything
trust me tara you can do better than chad
ha i know
now im thinking about her again
nicky?
yeah
she was so young
could have been any one of us
the cops are on their way
they said theyve already sent a car to chad’s
keep talking to me uma
im here t
no worries
just say the word and i’ll come over with my machete
ha yea right
for real!
us girls have to stick together
against the chads of the world
