Lessons From a Dead Girl
by Jo Knowles
Friends Forever. That's what Leah said.
Leah Greene, Laine's best friend, is dead. Even though she has wished for this, because of all those things Leah made her do- Laine still feels somehow responsible. All those times in the closet. Those times that Leah said they were just practicing. Everybody wanted to be friends with Leah though, and Laine was just plain and simple, so what was so special about her? Why did Leah pick her? And why couldn't Laine just tell Leah to stop? Once Laine does make new friends, Leah returns for even more lessons. Why couldn't she just leave her alone? Laine must figure out the truth behind Leah's actions and that it's ok to trust other friends, they aren't all like Leah.
