gonna make the cover into a template in a minute, so slow replies on anything if i'm talking/roleplaying to you, so erm anyway, here's chapter one c:
----------------------------
A year and six months, that's how long Alison has been 'dead' for, I would say dead normally, but then again no-one ever found her body, people just assumed that she had died after evidence had been found she had, her blood, pieces of flesh, her clothes, etc. No-one knew how, where, why, or who. Some people said it was an animal attack, some said it was a murder - some people accused Alison's sister, Danni, who would be in the top 5 of suspects, she and Alison never really got along, sure sisters are allowed to hate each-other, but they had not shared one moment of care or consideration for each-other. Rumour has it Danni killed Alison to take her number one place, they were the two most popular girls in school - but something about Alison got her to that #1 spot, and Danni didn't like it one bit, how she was that little bit better than her at everything, it angered her - but to the point that she would kill her? Unlikely, yet likely at the same time.
Whenever it marked 6 months there was usually the odd article in the paper and people would start talking about it again like it only happened yesterday, the suspicion flew up again and it seemed to be the 5 people that were caught up in it the most were Alison, Millie, Bradley, Jason and Matt. The 5 closest to Alison, the 5 people with a reason to murder her - everyone had, but these reasons seemed more likely than the others, Millie for the fact of the jealously was too much, Alison had stolen her boyfriend from her more than once - Millie hated her guts but adored her at the same time, Bradley was the boys that had been infatuated with her since preschool - and the most neglected by her, Jason and Matt were her two toys, constantly being used to their peak before she broke them, it was a never-ending cycle. Yet on every 6 month anniversary Danni seemed to be a little upset, even if she did act it most of the time.
Which was the reason when Millie strolled down the halls she was surprised to see Danni sporting a big grin on her face, looking the best she had ever looked - standing out from everyone else with her radiance and bubbly sounds of laughter while some people carried on as normal the people around her seemed to mope about, Millie's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she began to walk her way over, yeah sure she hated Alison for everything that she had done to her, everything she caused, but Alison was a good friend since they started secondary school, she couldn't help but be upset at times. Millie watched as Jason wrapped his arms around Danni from behind and seemed to whisper something in her ear before nuzzling into her neck - Millie's eyebrows furrowed further, she hadn't seen Danni in the holidays because her and her parents went to visit Greece - but Danni and Jason? All of last year they had been at each other's throats constantly trying to outdo each-other, oh well, I guess love can be bloomed from hate, Millie shrugged to herself before she realised that it appeared to look as if she was talking to herself, which she was, but in her mind, she cleared her throat and woke herself up, she tried as best as she could to stay perfect. "Danni!" she called as a crowd of first-years seemed to immediately flood the hallways, Millie hated everyone younger than her, she couldn't explain the hate.
Danni stood on her tip toes to look over the crowd of people and saw Millie, her grin brightening as she beckoned her over, "Millie just push through - just imagine there the little cones on your driving test." She said and Millie laughed as she pushed her way through, Millie had completely flopped her driving test - she hit every single cone, possibly a new record, Millie didn't have much concentration so putting her on the road would be an extreme health hazard. Jason muttered something in her ear that Millie couldn't interpret as he kissed her softly on the cheek and walked off, Danni opened her mouth to say something but Millie spoke instead, and it wasn't the question about Jason, that would come later.
"You do know what day it is, right?" Millie asked just to make sure, Danni nodded her eyebrows furrowing slightly - of course she'd remember, it was the half anniversary of the day her life changed - the day she became top dog, the day she didn't have to compete for anyone's affections, the glorious day Alison disappeared. "Then why don't you seem upset?" Millie asked as she opened her locker which was right next to Danni's, it wasn't a coincidence, she had bullied someone into giving them her locker, it was the way things were done here - I mean, being nice got you no-where in life.
Danni took a few seconds to think of something that would make her sound upset, but not, she didn't want people to know she was over the moon about Alison leaving - Danni doubted that Alison was her sister, they were nothing alike and absolutely despised each-other, or maybe they were so alike that they despised each-other, either way, they wanted each other dead whether they admitted it or not. "Would Alison want the populars moping about her all day? No, she would want us to keep our heads held high and keep going, think about the good times, you know?" she said, biting back a smirk, oh she could lie for England, she was an expert at it, she done it quite often, it was a habit.
Millie could see that look in Danni's eye and could tell she wanted to smirk and that was absolute bullshit, but it wasn't a surprise, Millie had the ability to see through everyone, but Danni was a different story - Millie was never really sure that she was telling the truth or not. "I've had like 5 missed calls from an unknown number, if I find out who it is I swear I will kill them." Millie groaned as she thought she heard her phone vibrate, but it turns out it was Danni's, she swear she put it on silent?
She pulled out her blackberry curve from the outside pocket of her school blazer and opened up the text message, she saw it was from an unknown number but she assumed that they had changed phone numbers or something, something that sounded normal, but as she skimmed the text she realised this wasn't just any unknown number.
From: (Unknown) 0845 567 327
To: Danni M
'Cute Jeans. Shame they're not yours, Alison won't be happy that you're wearing them, they're her favourite Hollister jeans, see you got the blood stains out - but how did the blood get there in the first place? - A'
Danni froze, the bright grin from her face falling completely, the lights inside her eyes had sparked out sharply as she read through the text message over and over again, frown lines had appeared and her eyebrows were furrowed deeply, she was scared, shocked, petrified, every bad emotion in the book she was feeling right now - who would know this about her? Who in the name of god was 'A'? At first she thought of Alison - but to Danni Alison was dead and gone, buried, not coming back. Millie saw her best friend had stopped walking and turned around, confused. "What's wrong?" she asked, when Danni didn't answer Millie walked back and looked over her shoulder at the text, also frozen - only her and Danni knew this, the blood in the jeans - a random person in the hall wouldn't know the make, or the fact they were Alison's. Millie looked to Danni, both girls incredibly scared right now as they exchanged eye contact. "W-what?" Millie stammered, trying to make words form from her mouth, "Who would know this except from us?" she hissed in a low voice.
Danni didn't move at all, "I don't know..." she murmured, feeling the horrible feeling that someone was watching her, as her phone vibrated again Millie tensed, hoping it wasn't another text from this creepy 'A' person, but luckily it wasn't, it was Bradley.
From: Bradley H
To: Danni M
'Meet me and Matt at the stairs, just got some creepy text, we need to talk asap, it's serious.'
