Extortion

The day started perfectly. I went to a beach party with the other girls. The last class threw a big cooking contest on the beach to raise money for our prom in about a month. I was part of one of the clubs responsible for buying food and drink. We had to be at the beach by 10:00 to get everything ready. The party starts at noon and lasts until late at night. In fact, they’d get a small barn fire as soon as it got dark. I knew it was gonna be a good day, and I couldn’t wait for it to start.
