Tragedy Girls Page #8

and there weren't a lot

of guys left to ask me.

Will Sadie be there?

Yeah, I-I think so.

I'll tell her

that you guys said hi.

- I love you.

- I love you, too.

I'll get the door.

[Sighs]

Rosedale High, please.

Yes, ma'am.

- [Laughing]

- [Laughing]

[Up-tempo music plays]

We are the young ones

- Ooh

- We are the young ones

[Singing indistinctly]

We are the young ones

[Singing indistinctly]

- Isn't this great?

- Sure.

We are the young ones

Ooh, ooh

[Singing indistinctly]

I'm kind of thirsty.

I'll be right back.

- Okay.

- [Singing indistinctly]

- Nice dress, Sadie.

- You too.

I want you to know

how proud I am.

You really turned

your attitude around

in spite of everything

that's happened.

- I guess a lot has changed.

- I hope you don't mind,

but I put your name forward

for a scholarship.

Young women who

have overcome adversity.

- Thanks, Mrs. K.

- You're welcome.

I think I need to go outside,

get some fresh air

before I lose it.

You have a good night.

- You, as well.

- Okay.

Hey! Come on, what you doing?

It's a great song.

Just sitting for a bit.

Hey, look, um...

I-I know that things haven't

really been the same for you

ever since we got together.

But I-I just want to

let you know I'm so sorry

for telling you all that sh*t

about McKayla.

I know she had nothing

to do with the murders.

Like, s-she couldn't have.

That's insane.

[Chuckles]

Is there anything I can do

to make it up to you?

[Electronic feedback]

Hello? Hello?

Oh, there we go.

- How you doing Rosedale High?!

- Yeah!

Yeah! Whoo!

Okay, I'm just gonna say

a few words,

and then this boring old dude

will get offstage, I promise.

[Clears throat]

To say that this was

a tough year

would be

a massive understatement.

- Yeah.

- No sh*t.

But if there's one good thing

that we can take away

from these dark times,

it's this.

Our friends.

No matter where you go in life,

you will always have

with each other

a bond that is unbreakable.

I believe that the votes

have been tallied.

Yes?

[Drumroll]

[Hiccups]

This year's king and queen

are Jordan Welch

and Sadie Cunningham.

[Cheers and applause]

Dude!

What the...

Come on.

We will now commence the prom

king and queen's first dance.

All hail Jordan and Sadie.

Can I watch you

while you fall out of love

I can't believe

this is happening.

- I think it's rigged.

- No, no, not just that.

We survived

not just a serial killer

but high school.

[Chuckles]

And now we're here.

And I just... I can't tell you

how lucky I feel to share

this dance with my best friend.

With your heart in my hands

And my head underwater

I was wishing and waiting

And I want to be right

Head underwater

And I was wishing

and waiting

And I want to be

[Heavy breathing]

[Clears throat]

Jonathan and Tracey,

what are you doing out here?

Back inside. Now.

- Yes, Mrs. Kent.

- Yes, Mrs. Kent.

[Sighs]

Mrs. Kent.

Smoking can cause fires.

Or didn't Big Al teach you that?

McKayla, what are you doing

out here?

Oh, just waiting for a friend.

Speak of the devil.

[Dramatic music plays]

Jesus Christ.

McKayla!

[Music intensifies]

[Knife stabs]

[Gasps]

[Blood dripping]

[Knife withdraws]

[Gasps]

[Whimpering]

- Why?

- Shh.

Please raise your hand

if you have something to say,

Mrs. Kent.

[Gasping]

Now?

No.

I have an appearance to make.

So, I know we haven't

gotten a chance

to talk about

when summer's over,

but have you thought

about Kent State?

I haven't really decided.

Because even if you went

with Ohio, like,

we'd still be pretty close by.

That'd be cool.

- Jordan, listen...

- Hey, dude.

Uh, one sec.

[Speaking indistinctly]

Sadie?

You're so brave.

I love you.

Get the f*** out of my face.

Yeah, but thanks.

I appreciate it.

No problem.

[Soft, dramatic music plays]

M-Kay!

Hey.

McKayla, what'd you do

to Mrs. Kent?

She got what she deserved.

What do you think?

Cute, right?

M-Kay, you don't have

to prove anything to me.

We made a splash. That's enough.

Don't f*** up your future.

F*** up my future?

[Chuckles]

What happened to you?

We used to be the same,

you and me.

Do you remember our first time?

- M-Kay, don't.

- Don't what?

I mean, it was your plan,

after all.

Poor old bag didn't

even see it coming.

One minute, she's driving two

girls home from dance practice.

The next,

she's lying in a ditch.

Poor Mrs. Welch.

- It was an accident.

- [Scoffs] An accident?

Is that what you tell yourself?

Because we both wanted it!

But, oh, you were the one

who was cold as ice.

I remember crying and crying

the next day...

jumping every time

the phone rang...

scared that I would blurt it

all out at the dinner table...

...that I would let down

my best friend.

And then you abandoned me?

I mean, you even became friends

with her son!

Him over me!

I thought I was going crazy!

The old Sadie, she wasn't

like everybody else.

No, she was something

real special.

And she would agree with me.

But if you want to be dancing

under that spotlight

with those f***ing sheep,

then you're better off dead

with the rest of them.

- I never meant to hurt you.

- Oh, please.

I'm like, so over it.

[Chuckles]

[Sniffles]

I believe you've already met

my prom date.

[Door closes, locks]

Been waiting a long time,

for this...

to gut you...

feast on your flesh.

Oh, scary, Lowell.

Nice.

See, he's not much

of a sweet talker,

but he knows how to

show a girl a good time.

So, that's it?

You're just gonna

kill your best friend?

Dude, no.

No, I'm here to save you.

We're gonna finish this

just like we planned.

A night to remember.

No!

Sadie, run! Hurry!

No!

[Grunting]

[Suspenseful music plays]

[Sighs] Come on, Jordan,

climbing up the stairs?

It's like you want

to get caught.

Just like your mother.

Sadie, come to me, baby.

[Growls]

Hey! Michael Myers knock-off!

I told you, she's off limits!

Did you think I'd forget

what you did to me?

Chained, tortured, dog food?

I'm gonna repay the favor until

you're begging me to kill you!

Lowell, calm down.

We both know that you're not

very good with the thinking,

especially after

all the chloroform.

You and I, we're the same,

remember?

No.

You spend your life

putting fake bullshit

on the Internet!

I'm gonna show you

what it really looks like!!

Stay away from her!

[Dramatic music plays]

[Thud]

[Music softens]

I missed you so much.

Shut up.

I missed you so much!

[Speaking indistinctly]

Sadie.

Sadie, come here.

Sadie, get away from her.

Get away from her.

We need to call the police.

You're gonna pay

for what you did.

Jordan, wait.

She's my best friend.

She just tried to kill you!

And... And me!

She murdered my mom!

She...

You ruined my life.

[Scoffs]

So did I.

Sadie, no, no, no.

Listen to me.

I love you... the real you.

Come on,

you're nothing like her.

Oh, J.

You don't know me at all.

[Gasping]

[Grunts]

[Gasps]
