Andan
I knew it by the way that she looked at me. Her eyes pierced my soul, haunting me. I shivered when I glanced at her, and I knew that she was not one of them. She smiled shortly at me and turned away, but I did not. I couldn't let her leave without getting a word with her.
"Um, excuse me?" I asked, stepping out of line. "May I have a word with you?" She nodded and we separated from the rest of the group.
"Can I help you?" she asked me. I nodded.
"My name is Jana 18. I was wondering if you could help me with this project that I'm doing."
"What does it involve?"
"Investigation. We're investigating someone, a very important someone."
I took a deep breath.
"They're coming," she said hoarsly. "I'm not taking the pills, and neither are you, but many other people have. And once they do, they won't be able to stop. It's addictive. Once Jace 6 hooks everyone on his plan, they're going to chase after us. We are going to be the only ones left, and we are going to die."
Without saying any more, she turned the other way and hurried to the group.
I never did see her again. I wonder now: did she ever take those pills? Did Jace 6 ever convince her to follow him into his never-ending abyss?
Maybe I'll find out.

You Two
I can never look at them the same way, not after what I saw.
For months, they've been hiding this secret. I can only imagine what they've done when they're not on school property, nevermind on it. And they kept it all away from me, too!
When I found out that they were dating, I was so overwhelmed and overly emotional. I was happy for them, I guess, that they found love and romance, or whatever. But they lied to me and they kept it a secret from me for so long! Can't I trust them? Can't they trust me?
I see now why they did it. Telling me was probably one of the hardest things that they've ever done. I can keep a secret, sure, and so can they. But someone's bound to find out, or see them together.
It was all because of that one day on the blacktop.
I asked to use the bathroom, and left the two of them alone. Then, when I came back, they were all over each other in the corner! I thought I was hallucinating. But then they told me, and it made sense.
And if I have to be happy for them, I will. But they can't keep hiding this forever.
