THE JOURNAL

A black Mercedes pulls up in front of the school, the door opens and the school's princess, Addison Woods gets out of the car. Nate Woods, Addison's father, a business tycoon and one of the majors sponsors for the school is almost never around so Addison pretty much lives alone, she lost her mum few years ago in an accident Summer break is over, it's their senior year at Hugo's high and Addison feels like it's going to be the best year ever In the hallway, Addison walks to her locker and just as she's about to get her books Katy Hanlon one of her best friends crept up behind her making her jump, Addison spun around surprised "ahh!" Addison said, laughing."that's how you welcome me on the first day?". Katy smiles "you know I love you, besides it's our senior year we gotta get crazy" Addison grins mischievously"now crazy I agree with you on that, but I might land in the hospital due to a heart attack before the year even begins properly" she turns around, takes her books and closes her locker then looks at Katy "please don't sneak up on me again" *bell rings* "come on let's gets to class" Katy says as she hold Addison's hand On their way to class while discussing Katy accidentally bumps into Maddy smith. "ugh, b***h watch where you're going " Maddy says with a frown on her face. "move" Katy says grinning,showing no remorse."first day of the school year and your bitchiness is already at 100, you're really something Katy Hanlon" Maddy says."come on Katy let's just go, we have class"Addison says to Katy Katy smirks at Maddy and just as they are about to leave, Maddy says" and watch where you're going next time bitches cus I won't be as nice". Addison turns around immediately"what'd you just say?". " I said you're both bitches and you need to watch where you're going next time"Maddy says."okay that's it" Addison says and she immediately drags Maddy by the hair , they start fighting and Katy joins Addison. Mika Hills, Maddy's best friend saw them fighting and came to join her friend in the fight In another hallway, a group of boys are talking and making jokes suddenly a students runs there and says "guys Addison and Maddy are fighting in the other hallway". Immediately they all run over to the other hallway, Justin, Addison's boyfriend is part of them and so is Katy's boyfriend, Nathan.As soon as they got to the other hallway, Justin carries Addison away from the fight and Nathan does the same to Katy. Almost immediately their principal, principal Steve arrives at the scene. "Hanlon, Woods, Hills, Smith, my office now!!" he says in a commanding tone. *in principal Steve's office " " it's the first day of the school year God damnit" he shouts angrily making the girls flinch."principal Steve I didn't do anything they......" Maddy tries to speak but she's immediately stopped by principal Steve,"I don't care who started the fight Ms Smith, you will all clean out the chemistry lab during your lunch time. Now, all of you out of my office" they all leave but Addison stays " you know the maintenance guy job is to clean out any old buildings or classrooms in the school right?"Addison says to principal Steve " Ms woods would you rather I suspend you at the beginning of the school year for bad conduct because that won't go well in your application for Harvard" principal Steve says. "just saying, if there's anything dangerous in there and any of us are put in physical danger it'll be on you" Addison says. principal Steve sighs,"Addison please leave my office and carry out your punishment later". Addison leaves the office angrily Katy is waiting outside the office for Addison, "so....?" Katy asks as soon as Addison comes out of the office."he didn't budge"Addison says."let's get to class"says Katy "so nice of the both of you to join us" Mr Tyler the history teacher says to Katy and Addison as soon as they enter the class disrupting his teaching "sorry mr Tyler, won't happen again"Addison says,"take your seats Ladies" Mr Tyler says. "I know it's our senior year but u couldn't wait before getting into a fight?" Zoey Rivers one of their best friends sitting behind them says. Zoey Rivers is a tech genius, she lost her parents so she stays with her older brother who's already in college, Marcus, their parents left a lot of money before they passed away so they're still very rich. Every high school has different cliques, Hugo's high is any different, in Addison's clique there are five of them, Addison, Zoey, Katy, Danielle Ross,a very hot tempered and smart girl, and Belly Wes, her family's not that rich but she's very smart and also a tech genius. The five of the them are really close and they are like sisters. Their rivals are Mika and Maddy. "b***h got on my nerve" Addison says to Zoey then they remain quiet for the rest of the class * bell rings for break*in the hallway* Danielle and Belly walks over to Katy, Addison and Zoey "dude your video's all over the internet" Danielle says to both of them" you just couldn't walk away?" Belly asks "you know how the b***h is, she's really annoying "Katy says." still, now you're both popular for fighting on the first day of your senior year "Belly says"is that really a bad thing,it's our senior year "Katy says,smiling. "everyone's talking about how Justin carried Addy away from the fight" Danielle says, Addison immediately smiles"really"?she asks" yeah, check out the comments"Danielle shows them the comments people made on the video. "wow.....well we got cleaning to do"Addison says, "we'll help"Danielle says *over the speakers* "Attention, this is principal Steve, will all the senior students go to the auditorium immediately " "great" Zoey says *in the auditorium* "Hi everyone, this is your senior year and I hope you are all aware that by now you are to start turning in your applications for college, that aside Jake Clark will no longer attend Hugo's high*there is murmuring among the students* reason being because he ran away from home and his parents are still searching for him, there are rumors as to why he ran away but we don't know, we hope the cops find him soon. Thank you,you may all leave" principal Steve says "Jake ran away?" Mika says to Maddy."we talked over the summer but some weeks ago he hasn't been reachable, he did tell me he wouldn't be around for a while and he left me a weird message but running away..."Maddy says."what weird message " Mika asks,"it's probably nothing, never mind" Maddy says."what if he was kidnapped " Mika asks."I don't want to think negatively,the cops will find him, we have cleaning to do remember?" Maddy says to Mika."alright, let's go" *in the old chemistry lab* "what the fvck"Addison screams in disbelief. "principal S doesn't really want us to clean the place right?" Maddy says as soon as she and Mika walk in " this is all your fault,if you hadn't been such a b***h that fight would never have happened and we wouldn't be here" Katy says to Maddy."if you had just apologized or watched where u were going we wouldn't be here"Maddy says to Katy."but you would still be a b***h" Katy says. "you're really asking for another fight "Mika says." and the puppet speaks" Danielle says and they all laugh "okay look, you guys fought and u're here and you really have no choice than to clean this place up so let's get started"Zoey says and they all start cleaning "why does principal S need this place cleaned up anyway?no one's been here in like forever"Belly says."probably wants to turn it into another classroom "Zoey says "ahhh!!!" Addison screams"what's wrong Addy" Belly asks,"there's a rat in here" Addison screams."Addy it's just a rat' Zoey says."just a rat?"Addy asks in disbelief. "okay, why don't u come over here and clean this spot and I'll clean that spot" Zoey says. Addison walks over to where Zoey was and starts cleaning while Zoey goes to where Addison was "that's weird I don't remember this wall being here" mika says."well we're not here to look at walls" Danielle says "hold on, isn't that where the door to the old library was" Katy asks."yeah, you're right,they closed it because students had to pass through the lab to get there"Belly says."but then why's there a wall" Zoey asks. "hold on" Maddy says. She brings out her phone and reads out loud "old chemistry lab,door to old library, 4th shelf,7th book". "okay what the fvck is that" Addison asks." that's the weird message Jake sent me before he went missing according to the cops"Maddy says."yeah but what does it mean" Belly asks, "he was probably just messing with you" mika says "yeah, probably"Maddy says not convinced. They go back to cleaning but Maddy keeps on staring at the wall, "hey guys I don't think this is a wall"Maddy says, she walks over to the wall and pulls off the white fake wall,"it's fake?"Katy says."why would they put a fake wall over the door of the library,nobody even comes here"Danielle says."well we're definitely going in" Katy says smiling and walking towards the door, she opens the door and walks in"come on guys, what's the worst that could happen"she says They enter the old library and find out all books are still intact"wow, they didn't even bother clearing it out"Belly says"well, there could always be another fight" Zoey says jokingly"ha ha really funny" Katy says sarcastically "hey Mads, the message said 4th shelf right?"Mika asks."yeah, why?"Maddy asks. "well some books here are missing and this is the only shelf that doesn't have complete books in here"Mika says."they probably just needed those books"Belly says Just as they are looking around, Addison walks over to the 4th shelf and is touching all the books, just as she touched one particular book a safe on the wall that doesn't look like a safe opens"Addy what did u touch?" Mika asks"a book on the shelf" Addy says "that's the 4th shelf" Zoey says. Maddy walks to where Addy is standing"which book did you touch?" Maddy asks Addison "this one"Addison points to the book she touched before the safe opened,"that's the 7th book" Maddy says."woah, looks like your runaway boyfriend was up to something"Danielle says to Maddy. Zoey walks over to the safe, "it's a journal" she says, they all walk over, she opens the journal and reads " my brother was killed today on school grounds and they covered it up by saying it was an accident and put the blame on an innocent student,Billy Hayes and kicked him out, my brother was killed because he knew about the secret and I'm going to continue with his research and find the treasure before any of the teachers does" "sorry did u say killed?" mika asks"treasure and teachers involved?"Zoey asks"okay forget about the treasure , Billy Hayes? wasn't he the senior that got kicked out 2 years ago for the death of Jamie Clark, Jake's older brother?"Danielle asks"yeah you're right, he kept on saying he didn't do it but they kicked him out anyways and the cops couldn't arrest him because there wasn't any evidence"Katy says "can I see that?"Maddy asks,"sure"Katy says and hands over the journal to her." this is Jake's writing"Maddy says
