The Quiet Girl

By Shaunna Rodriguez

My name is Drew. I like the quiet. I like the dark. I don't mind being by myself. I might be considered a loner. High School (n.) Definition: A place where teenagers in a thirty mile radius are brought together with their hot mess of problems and are expected to magically cohabitate peacefully for seven hours a day, five days a week. Magically being the key word. Jocks, Preps, Emo, Geeks, Nerds, and Witches...and the list goes on. No matter the century, the classification of the teenagers stays tried and true. OK, that last category might be a new one, but it IS the twenty-first century. There are some very weird vibes in Dark Hollow that go way back in many of the local family trees. Rumors of witches and magic seem to hover in every conversation. The first day was a rough one. Stevie, the Emo queen, has shown me that she is not happy that I'm here in her school. Fortunately, and surprisingly, Claire, the lead Prep has taken a liking to me. Well, at least, she seems to want to irritate Stevie by being my new BFF. All was well, until Claire broke up with Dustin, school QB, and he decided that he wanted to get to know me better. The tables have turned. Claire's bullying has topped the mega meter. A recent fight between Claire and Stevie has resulted in the death of Stevie. Suicide or Witchslaughter? I need to know the truth, but everyone is too afraid to challenge Claire about what really happened. Maybe it's time for this Quiet Girl to get loud....
