Doves End: Social Media Murder

The cold October air bites at your skin as you repeat your therapist's words like a mantra. 'One breath in, one breath out, you don't have to deal with everything all at once.' Today is your first day back at Doves End High School since your mother's death and your subsequent hospitalization for a panic attack.

You walk with your best friend Luke Kent and your sort-of ex-boyfriend Ryan Armitage. They're bickering about Sandy Quinn's viral snapchat video from last night, debating if her distressed appearance was real or just a stunt for attention. A stress headache pricks at your brain as you try to tune them out, focusing on putting one foot in front of the other. The imposing, impersonal grey building of Doves End High looms ahead, just as you remembered.
