Quote of the Week: You do you and I'll do me and we're not gonna do each other.

Story- Part 4

1 requirement for this story was that it couldn't be worse than PG-13. So later on in the story when it gets more violent I restrained myself a lot bc I wasn't sure how violent PG-13 is. Then I hear 1 student say that in his story someone gets impaled and then burnt on a pole and in someone else's story someone gets decapitated by a metal string. I'm like ' wow, makes me look like I'm writing a freaking bedtime story' :

Now Marisa stood glaring at her reflection in the mirror, lost in thought. Clutching the necklace, Rhoda asked, "Is this your only necklace? If it is then I know a place downtown where we can buy another one for you to wear to the dance."
"I don't want another necklace. Or any other piece of jewelry," Marisa replied sternly.
"No, come on." Rhoda put the necklace in her pocket and started to pull Marisa out of her room. "If it's too painful for you to wear this necklace then you need a new one, right? It's a dance after all. You know, Marisa, you're amazing for surviving such a horrible incident and making it this far. But the way I see it, to really be strong you have to also make it past the little things that scar you and hold you back, instead of shying away from them. That's just my opinion though."
Marisa was too stunned by this statement to protest as Rhoda led her outside and down the street.
They were walking down a small side road when several people suddenly stepped out from the shadows around them with metal bats. Before either girl could react, the people nearest to them swung thier weapons. Both girls felt a sharp pain in the back of their heads, then saw nothing but darkness.
