there was a group of friends, and one told the others a secret, her biggest secret infact! She had always new that her parents where always up to something suspisious, but one day she came home early and saw her parents on the computer, they walked out, asif they where doing nothing, but they never realised that they had left the page open. The young girl read the email, and noticed that it wasnt any ordinary email, it was a blackmail note which they were about to send, saying they wanted 1 million dollers to a poor family, or there would be consiquences. She was scared! She never planned on telling anyone, but when they were having a sleepover, she thought she could tell her closest friends, so she did. They all promissed not to tell. Later that week, the 3 girls had an argument, and the girl with the secret was worried. The girl in the group who was the ‘main’ girl, thought it would be funny to tell her new friends, and the girl who told the secret began to be blackmailed, the email read ‘this is serious, we have heard secrets about you and your parents that no one should no, and no body wants a email sent round the full school including all the little details, do we? so, here is the deal, you steal the money from your parents and send it to us! – b -’ the girl didn’t know what to do, so she panicked, for the next few weeks the email kept coming through everyday, and was reminding her of what she needed to do! Not logn after, the texts started, but started to become violent. The girl kept trying, but never could find out who ‘b’ the person texting her was!
That is awesome, @Amber! Don’t forget to submit it on Figment.com’s site!
Megan walked up to her group of friends sitting out by the water fountain out front of Riders Richardens Middle School. She was so happy to tell them the great news about her father coming to visit. Lately Megan has been a bit nervous, but mostly excited. She walked up to her friends and wanted to tell them the great news and also how she hasn’t been one of her fathers favorite daughter. Ever since the day she found it he was leaving because of a messy divorce, Megan has stepped up a level in their parents relationship and wanted them to just give in and stay together as a family. Megan sat next to her friends who were mainly gossiping about something not as interesting as what she was gonna spill. Megan being apart of the popular crowd felt like she belonged and also knew how much of trusting she could put into these girls. After a few minutes Megan spoiled her secrets which sent a huge angry vibe between the four girls, Megan’s friends couldn’t believe what she done and if her parents found out then her life would be over.
A few weeks later Megan got into a fight which turned into a physical fight/argument that tore all girls friendships to an end. Megan was worried and nervous because if her secret got out then her life was really over and her parents would never in a billion years forgive her. The “leader” of the “use to be” popular crowd Katie thought it would be hailrous to mess with her old friends and spread the word of Megans little scam. Katie did so and throughout the day Megan has been getting teased and trashed on all because of Katie. When Katie arrived home she wandered into the living room finding her mother and father on the couch starring blanky out the window. Megan swallowed hard aznd dropped her bag to the floor “everything okay?” she proceeded to say, the look on her parents faces broke her heart. The Mom and Dad both just shook their heads getting up and the Mom walked up to her room. Katie’s eyes followed her Mother going up the stairs scared for whats gonna happened. Her Father finally got up and walked up to her “I’am very disappointed in you Megan, we raised you better then this!” he began raising his voice. Megan went teary eyed “I’m Sorry… I-” with that her Father walked out the door getting into his car. There was a tear rolling down Megans fine cheek bones as she heard the streaks of tires roll down the street. She grabbed the letter on the table that stated exactly what Megan did and there was no address all it was made out to was from “Sweet K”. Megan gaze followed out the window, she was terrified of who “Sweet K” could of been. She grabbed her things running up to her room slamming the door and sitting on the bed. Megan started to cry she trusted her “old” friends with this secret and couldn’t believe that this spilled out. What was she gonna do? Megan grabbed her phone as it lit up and one new text message from an UNKNOWN NUMBER, she opened it and it said “Better watch who your true friends are. Nothing is as it seems. Backstabbing hurts doesn’t it? Better watch out b***h. Sweet Dreams! -Sweet K” Megan eyes frozed on the text message reading it over and over again. “This can’t be happening” was her last four words

As I lay in my new (yes,yesterday was my birthday), luxurious Tempurpedic bed, I hear loud, clunky footsteps march up the stairs. I think it’s my dad, coming home from work early. But it’s only 1:45 P.M. I scroll through the list of possibilites of who it could be, but none seem to match. I scramble to get under my bed. The mysterious man pushes my door open. I take a quick look at him. He looks like my friend Claire’s dad. The man takes a good look around my room. I assume he’s looking for something valuable. I want to say, “My parents may be working for Microsoft, but there’s nothing valuable here!” He walks around my room searching my closet, then some boxes. My heart is pounding faster than the bullet train. The man takes something out of his coat pocket. A gun. I make a small noise soon regretting it. He chuckles and looks under my bed. I scr
AND THEN SHE’S DEAD.
