When Stephanie arrived at the high school, she met up with her friends Zoe Gibson, Sabrina Johnson, and Trevor Blake (he was the only Goth boy in school and also Stephanie's boyfriend).
"You look tired, Stephanie," Zoe told her.
"I didn't sleep well last night," she said, yawning, as Trevor put his arm around her.
"Me neither," Sabrina said. "Drake was just an animal last night," she laughed. Drake was Sabrina's boyfriend and he was just as much of a punk goth as she was. "Did you and Trevor ..."
Suddenly, Stephanie felt a sharp pain in her gut. "Be right back," she said, removing herself from her boyfriend's embrace. She then headed into the nearest girl's restroom. And after she entered one of the stalls and sat down, she doubled over.
