"Shoot. I'm late. Might as well not stress it, as if anyone cares." Jerome likes to talk to himself. Nobody truly knows why though. "Ah its snowing! Great." Jerome walks to school. 9 o'clock in the morning. As he gets to the school he noticed something was off. "Wait.. Whats today? December 24th..." Jerome reliazed what day it was. He let out a big happy sigh. "Wow. Im dumb, its saturday. And it's Chritsmas. Jeez, I need to get myself checked."

Jerome called up his friends. "Hey fellas, what yall up to? Jerome questions? "Nothin', just making some bacon n' eggs for my little siblings. Replied Jason. "They got you slaving over there Jason, I'm watching Netflix. Damarcus laughed "Lucky" Cried jason. "Y'all seen tyler?" Jerome questioned once again. "He should be outside skiing if you wanna join em'" Damarcus said. "Sounds like fun" The boys all went and looked for Tyler.

The boys noticed their friend and went up to him. "Hey wassup tyler" They all said. "Nun-much just skiing, yall come to join?" "Yea" The boys all skiied for a while. Jerome never skiied before yet had lots of fun. The universe though said, he was having too much. "This is awesome" Jerome yelled. "Yea. Hey theres a lady!" Jason noticed a lady having a picnic. "Jerome couldnt stop. "MOVE" Damarcus yelled. ALl the boys yelled but the lady didn't hear them. Bam. Jerome got up but next to him was... "HOLY SH*T, HOLT SH*T, HOLY SH*T!" Jerome was on top of a lady. She was dead. The snow was red. His coat which has white fluff was dyed. Her head was detactched though on a string dangling.

All the boys went down the hill disgusted. Jerome was terified of what happened that day. They left the site. "Dude we have to go back. That lady just died because we were unconscious!" Jason told them. "That b*tch should've moved now shouldnt she." Tyler said. "We're murderers. This is tramatizing man." Damarcus added. Though Jerome said nothing. The boys went back to jermomes and washed off the blood of the lady before the parents came back.

The boys are all in school, early gym class playing basketball. "So, about what happened on Christmas?" Jerome brought up "I told yall to forget about it." Tyler said. The boys thought nothing of it. The boys got to their 4th period class before the annoucments went off.

{902 JEROME, DAMARCUS, TYLER, AND JASON TO THE MAIN OFFICE. 902 JEROME, DAMACRUS, TYLER, AND JASON TO THE MAIN OFFICE. THANK YOU.}

The boys looked at eachother. All were woried. As they walked to the mainoffice they got looked by at the kids in the hallways. "What ever yalls did, you f*cked up." Their friend Chirs told them as they walked by. There were 6 police officers and all their parents. "Take a seat" The principal sighed. "We know wh-" "IT WAS JEROME" Jason spit out" "Son of a b*tch" Jerome angurlied spat out. "No, it was all of you" The boys were broght to court and a date was set to trial. The boys were put in juvy. Their mothers who cried as they raised monsters, their fathers looking down on them as if they were not men.

The murd was unintentional and the woman had many chances to move. Though you will be sentenced, it will be shotended. Each of you boys will be sentenced five in prison. I rest my case." The case was set.

Congrats on submitting your first story! It feels like a lot happens in very few words in this one, so don't be afraid to describe the events in more detail (especially when the lady dies, I got confused at that part), because you'll easily reach the minimum word count that way. Also make sure you spell check and use paragraphs etc. which would make it easier to read. I thought the boys' back and forth dialogue was believable for a group of teenagers. Keep writing mate!
