"Welcome to Langville High," Princepal McCana announced. "Each gr 9 student is asked to pair up with a gr.10 student. There is to be 2 gr 9 students to 1 gr 10 student." Ashley then walked over to one of the girls.

"Gr 10 student here," Ashley started. "Can I be your tour guide?"

"Sure," The girl answered. "Let me get my friend Ryan." She then went nad got Ryan. She came back.

"My name is Ashley and I'll be your tour guide. And your name is Ryan but what is your name ma'am?"

"Lindsay."

"Nice to meet both of you. Now let's start the tour." Ashley then started the tour.

Throughout the tour, Ashley watched Lindsay; she could tell something was wrong. She knew that there was a secret deep down in her heart. Lindsay was thinking about what had happened at home. It had all made her sad; a feeling she was use to.

After the tour, Ashley knew she had to confront Lindsay about this.

"Ryan, how about you run along?" Ashley suggested. She knew that was so cliche but she hoped Ryan accepted.

"Ok," He accepted. He took off and Lindsay didn't know what to think. She hoped Ashley didn't ask about why she was sad.

"Is everything ok?" Lindsay's greatest fear. She knew she couldn't tell Ashley; she'd freak over it.

"Yes, everything is fine," Lindsay answered. Ashley knew she was lying but didn't want to push the issue.

"Ok," Ashley replies. "If something is going on, tell me."

"Ok." They then seperated.

Lindsay ran to where Ryan was standing.

"What'd she want?" Ryan asked.

"She asked if everything was ok," Lindsay answered. "I said yeah. But she assured me I could come talk to her."

"Ok."

"You've kept quiet right?" Ryan looked at her in surprise. How could she think that?

"Yes I have." She smiled. She was glad Ryan had kept quiet.

"Thanks."

At lunch, Ashley met up with her friends Sherri-lyn and Kristina.

"Hey Sherri and Kristina," She said as she sat down.

"Why do you always take off the lyn?" Sherri-lyn wondered. She was getting very annoyed with Ashley and the lyn issue.

"Shorter and right to the point."

"How was the tours?" Kristina wondered. She hated her best friends being in an argument.

"Ok," Ashley answered. She knew she could tell 'em about Lindsay. "I met two kids: Ryan and Lindsay. Lindsay was very interesting actually."

"Explain?" Sherri-lyn ordered.

"Not in a good way. She seemed distracted and sad. I asked her after without Ryan yet nothing came out. But I told her she could come talk to me anytime."

"That was nice," Kristina comments.

"Look at Vikki," Sherri-lyn instructed. She always hated the pretty pretty girls. Vikkie was all dressed up and fit the description of a pretty pretty girl.

"Where's she going?" Ashley wondered. But she didn't care to tell the truth.

"Looks like a date."

"At lunch?" Sherri-lyn again was annoyed. How come Ashley didn't get it at all?

"You can do it anytime." Ashley felt embarassed. How could she mess up again?

"True. Did McCana talk to her?" Everyone shrugged. Nobody knew but they knew Vikkie was in trouble. Nobody could skip at Langville ever. If you did, you were in major trouble.

"Ashley, may I speak to you?" Princepal McCana requested. Ashley knew to never turn down the princepal.

"Yes ma'am you can." Ashley accepted. McCana always admirred Ashley's manners. They went to McCana's office.

"I heard you talking to your friends about Lindsay." Ashley swallowed. What could McCana want to talk about regarding that?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Do you feel me or a councelor should speak to her?" Ashley thought to herself. She knew that sounded good but didn't want to break Lindsay's trust.

"No ma'am. I don't feel it's that big."

"So why did you tell them?" Ashley felt as if McCana was trying to pin her into a corner.

"I tell them everything."

"Ok. You may spy if you want on Lindsay but if your caught, you will be charged with harassment." Ashley couldn't believe it. She would actually put her in jail.

"Yes ma'am."

"Now tell me about Vikki." Ashley then felt good; she got to tattletale.

"Well she's going on a date this lunch hour."

"How's she dressed?" Ashley thought of the best way to describe it within' school rules.

"She's wearing a short black skirt with a blue bellytop and a stripper outfit under which I have no details on for you."

"Anymore info?" Ashley thought. What else did she know that she could tell?

"No ma'am."

"Thank you. Goodbye." Ashley then left. She went to where Sherri-lyn and Kristina were. She told them everything and both were surprised. Sherri-lyn suspected was Vikki was dressed as a stripper but mostly, why would McCana care?

Next period was gym with Ms. Kenneth. Vikkie showed up to everyone's surprise but soon after, Princepal McCana showed up also.

"Vikkie McCana, stand up and come here!" Princepal McCana yelled. Vikki felt embrassed; why would her mother embarass her? "What did you do at lunch?"

"Hung out with Nessa."

"Strike 1."

"I went out with Tom to his place."

"And?"

"Stripped for him." Vikki looked at Ashley with evil eyes; she knew Ashley blabbed on her.

"My office right now!"

The next day at lunch, Ashley sat in a secret spot she knew've at school watching Lindsay and Ryan. She had to figure it out.

"What happened?" Ryan asked. "What'd she do when he got home?" Who is she and he? Ashley needed to know both.

"She made me do everything," Lindsay answered. Ashley thought what that could mean. "With no time for homework and I only got like 5 hours of sleep!" Her parents? Ashley was in disbelief. Why would they do that?

"Did he touch you inappro...."

"No!" Her dad rapes her? Ashley knew something needed to be done.

"What am I going to do? I can't run away from home."

"Your going to have to." Ryan then cuddled her.

"No lovey dovey allowed!" Someone yelled. It was Vikkie! Why'd she ruin it?

"We didn't know," they replied innocently and ran away. Ashley then came out of her spot.

"Why'd you tell her?" Great. Now Ashley had to think of an answer.

"I can't lie to her; I don't want to get in trouble," Ashley stated. Vikkie hated when she played Ms. Innocent.

"Stop being Ms. Innocent around here," Vikki started. "Now why were you there?" Ashley couldn't think of a way out. But she could never tell; she'd be put in jail.

"I was thinking." Vikki knew that was a lie; a lame lie at that.

"Were you spying?" Ashley knew she had to stay cool and play Ms. Innocent.

"No, I'd never do that." Vikki was getting mad. She couldn't catch her untill...aha. A tape recorder!

"What's that?" Uh oh! Ashley had broken a rule. Now what was she going to do?

"Fine, I was. I'll even go to tell Mrs. McCana myself." Vikki felt pride. She finally had caught Ashley. They then went to Mrs. McCana's office and sat down.

"Ashley has a tape player in which she recorded a private conversation between 2 new gr 9s." Mrs. McCana was surprised. Her final innocent child was guilty and another student knew.

"Explaination please." McCana demanded. Ashley knew she had to tell.

"Listen to the content before puniessment," Ashley instructed.

"Fine." Ashley then put the tape in McCana's tape player and hit play. Both were surprised by the context. "Vikki, please leave." Vikki then left. She was mad that she hadn't got Ashley in trouble. "You did good. I'll call Lindsay down for a chat."

Soon after Lindsay showed up. As she walked in, McCana played the tape again. Lindsay was surprised. Who would dare tape a private conversation?

"Who did this?" Lindsay demanded. Ashley knew she couldn't lie to Lindsay infront of McCana.

"I did," Ashley confessed. Lindsay was surprised. First she declarese support and then backstabs her.

"I can't believe you." Lindsay ran off. Ashley knew she had to stop and get to the bottem of this.

"Lindsay please. Let me explain." Ashley then ran after her. Ashley stopped Lindsay and Lindsay looked angry. Lindsay didn't want to see Ashley ever again.

"Why did you spy on me?" She was determinded to find out the answer.

"I had to find out what was going on." Lindsay just wanted to punch her out but knew not to. She tried to walk away yet Ashley stopped her again. "It's the right thing to tell McCana or anyone who has the power to help you." Lindsay knew Ashley was right.

"Your right." They then went back to McCana's room and told her everything. Ashley didn't get in trouble for what happened and Lindsay moved in with her anut which she was happy with. Both of her parents were charged with child abuse and sentenced to prison for a long time.
