Tori's Story for 12/10

It was the Monday after the Homecoming Weekend at Coastal High School. It was a famous weekend for the school. The seniors ruled the school for the past week during Spirit Week and during the Pep Rally for the football team. It was the most perfect week and into an even more perfect weekend and all of the class of 2005 Coastal Dolphins could not have had a better Homecoming Weekend. The Homecoming Dance was on Friday night where the King and Queen were crowned. Nick Smith and Molly Snow were crowned at the dance and they were loved by all. They were the type of people that were popular but did not know it and did not act like they were. On Saturday, the Coastal Dolphins played against the Western Bobcats in the Homecoming football game. Nick and Molly were there to show their support for the class of 2005. The Dolphins won the Homecoming football game after a three year loosing streak. It seemed like a great ending to a perfect weekend…

“Hey guys, great game on Saturday right?” Tanya yelled to her classmates in the senior parking lot.
“AWESOME GAME, Tanya! Nick and Molly looked great too!” Lindsay said.
“Yes, Molly looked like a princess in her blue sparkly dress.” Said Tanya. “God, what’s everyone’s problem, it feels like someone died around here.” Tanya stated as everyone was moping around walking to class from outside.
“Tanya, haven’t you heard about what happened last night?” Angela asked.
“Ummm obviously not if I don’t’ know what you’re talking about Angela.” Tanya said annoyed.
“Well I don’t know how to tell you this but…but Molly Snow got into a car accident last night on Stick Rd. and she well…ummm…she didn’t make it.” Angela said sobbingly.
“UHHHH…OH MY GOD! You’re kidding right?! Angela, I just saw Molly on Saturday at the game, this can’t be true!” Tanya screamed.
“OH MY GOD…OH MY GOD…THIS CAN’T BE TRUE!” Lindsay screamed too.
“Its true guys, I’m sorry that I had to be the one to tell you the awful news!” Angela said sadly.

As the girls walked into school, it felt like they were in a movie. It felt this way because usually when they go into school, the hallways are obnoxiously loud with their classmates telling what happened the night before or what happened over the weekend or who was hooking up with who, you know high school drama kinda stuff. Well today was a different kind of day for Coastal High School Class of 2005. They have lost a true and dear friend of theirs, Molly Ann Snow. She was a friend to practically the whole school and everyone loved her. She was a kind, smart, funny, beautiful sixteen year old girl. As a matter of fact, newly sixteen because her birthday was on Saturday, one of the most perfect days on the almost perfect weekend. It felt like a movie because Molly just turned 16, just got crowned Homecoming Queen, and just got a new car for her birthday. How could something so awful happen to such a perfect girl…The girls walked into “senior” hallway unaware what was about to happen…

“AAAAHHHHHHHHHH….” Screams coming from all areas of the “senior” hallway.
“Oh my god, this is awful news, I can’t believe this has happened, I still can’t believe it, I don’t want to believe it!” Tanya said shaking her head.
“How did this happen Angela?” Tanya and Lindsay wondered.
“Well I heard that Molly and Caty went for a test drive in Molly’s new car since she just got it for her birthday, and you know that hill that everyone goes really fast over on Stick Rd.?” Angela asked.
“Yea…” Tanya answered.
“Well her and Caty, were driving on that road and decided to go really fast over that hill to get air like everyone always did but they didn’t get air the first time, so they decided it would be a good idea to turn around and try it again…well it wasn’t a good idea. The second time coming over the hill, Molly lost control of the wheel and the car skidded and ended up hitting a telephone pole dead on. Molly was pronounced dead at the scene and Caty was perfectly fine…well as fine as someone can be from a horrific accident…no injuries I mean.” Angela finished her story.
“That is awful…I still don’t want to believe it! I’m glad Caty is fine but how is she fine and Molly is dead?...I don’t know how I’m gonna get through this day.” Tanya said confused.
“Let’s go talk to Mr. Frank, the guidance counselor and see if we can leave school and go see how Caty is doing.” Lindsay suggested.

The girls were distraught over the news about Molly’s death. As were the rest of Coastal High School. They lost a beloved friend that day and the entire senior class did not know what to do with themselves. The guidance office was bombarded with students with post traumatic stress issues and were suggested to go home after hearing such horrific news. The entire school was in an uproar over the tragic happening from the night before. The story was buzzing throughout the halls and in the classrooms and no matter who told the story it was still true and Molly was dead. Tanya, Lindsay, and Angela and most of the senior class of 2005 were dismissed from school that day to go home and mourn over the loss of a loved friend. Bad things always seem to happen to good people…

“Tanya, are you going to her funeral tomorrow?” Lindsay asked.
“Of course I am, Lindsay! We all have to wear Red, White and Blue, her mother has asked all of the senior class to wear those colors. This is going to be the most upsetting funeral I have ever been to.” Tanya said saddened.
“I’ve never been to a funeral before, especially for someone so young. I’m kinda scared, what do you think it’s gonna be like?” Lindsay said nervously.
“Well…it’s gonna be really sad. You’re probably gonna cry and see a lot of people crying. There will probably be people singing sad music and a priest will say some kind words about Molly. I think tonight’s going to be worse at Molly’s wake.” Tanya stated.

The girls attended Molly Snow’s wake that night. There had never been so many people at the funeral home before Molly’s death. There was a two-mile long line out the door and there was an hour wait to pay your respects. Once inside you would pay your respects to Molly’s open casket, which it did not look like her because of the bad makeup job done and the scared look that was stuck on her face. That was the scariest part. Then you had to pay your respects to her family, her mom, her dad, and her little brother. Maybe this was the scariest part…what do you say to someone that has lost everything…
