Please, let me borrow
this one!”
    “ The
pink one?” Lucy smiled. “Of course you can borrow
it.”
    “ YES!
Thank you!” she kissed Lucy's cheek.
    “ Hey,
that's what friends are for.”
     

5 | Hannah's Web
     
    Hannah slid on thick bracelets as Lucy
hurried to straighten her black hair. She only ever straightened it
on occasions, but by the end of the night, it would be a fur ball
again. It was worth spending hours straightening because the photos
would look gorgeous. Hannah never had that problem though—her hair
was always perfect.
    Linda honked the horn of her car for Lucy to
hurry up. However, she didn't know that Hannah would be coming
along too.
    She turned stiff as Hannah came out the
house door first. With a smile, Hannah opened the passenger door
just to realize Tyler was sitting there.
    “What are you doing here?” they both said to
each other.
    “These are my friends,” Hannah snapped.
    “Um, just climb in the back,” Linda said to
Hannah.
    Everyone knew Hannah always rode shotgun no
matter who was driving, and in their case it was always either Lucy
or Linda. With an attitude, Hannah slammed the passenger door shut
and hopped in the backseat next to Michael who was dressed in a
blazer and jeans.
    “Jeans, Michael?” Hannah rolled her eyes.
“This is our last real dance until prom and you wear jeans?”
    “These are my formal jeans,” he teased.
“This isn't a fashion show, Hannah. It will be dark inside, no one
will notice.”
    Lucy came running to the car next, trying to
avoid the rain. “Hey, everyone.”
    Hannah rolled her eyes again as she dusted
off her new sparkly dance uniform, “Lucy, it sucks you're not on
the dance team anymore. I miss you.”
    Lucy nervously laughed, “Really? I wouldn't
have guessed it,” she mumbled.
    Michael stared at Hannah's flashy uniform.
He liked the aqua blue and how it showed off her fit shape. “How
did you guys afford new uniforms this year? I thought our school
was poor?”
    “Um, we...had...” Hannah thought of
something to say.
    “They were charity,” Lucy said. “Yup,
charity.”
    “Charity?” Tyler butted in. “Is that what
they mean by charity,” he laughed. “Man, this school is messed
up.”
    As Linda drove, the tension was stronger
than ever. Their usual car rides were loud and full of gossip
stories, but nothing was like normal anymore. As they arrived at
the school street, they could already hear the music from the
gym.
    Michael slicked his hair back as he winked,
“We are going to have so much fun!” he beamed. “I'm so excited.
This is our last dance until prom. Aw, sad moment...”
    “This is the last thing this town needs...is
a school dance,” Tyler said. “All these kids should be at home
eating at the dinner table.”
    “Then, why did you come?” Hannah snapped.
“You just want to be nosy.”
    Tyler rolled his eyes and jumped out the
parked car first. He waited for Linda to fix her eyelashes and then
walked over to her side. Hannah got out next and didn't wait for
anyone. She sped walked toward the entrance and met up with the
other dance team members.
    “Why didn't you tell me Hannah was coming
too?” Linda said to Lucy.
    “Yeah?” Michael agreed.
    “What's the big deal?” Lucy said. “She is
our best friend.”
    “Where has she been?” Tyler said. “I heard
her family put out a missing persons report.”
    “How do you know this stuff?” Michael
said.
    “I know everything,” Tyler winked and
grabbed Linda’s hand. They left without Lucy and Michael and walked
passed everyone waiting to get in.
    Simon school dances tended to be full of
only seniors and freshmen, who wanted to experience a dance.
However, today almost the entire school was there. If anything,
those kids should have been home— a murderer was loose .
    Tyler felt awkward as he slicked his hair
back and tugged on his formal attire. Nervously, he sipped on his
soda, trying to get the ice out. “There are way too many
