J.D.
[Spoken]
Think. Long and hard. Conjure her up in your mind. What would she say?
What is her final statement to a cold, uncaring planet?
VERONICA
(Writing) "Dear world...
Believe it or not, I knew about fear;
I knew the way loneliness stung.
I hid behind smiles and crazy hot clothes;
I learned to kiss boys with my tongue."
J.D.
That's good.
VERONICA
"But oh, the world, it held me down;
it weighed like a concrete prom queen crown."
(Dead Heather Chandler sits up. Only Veronica sees her)
HEATHER CHANDLER
No one thinks a pretty girl has feelings.
No one gets her insecurity.
I am more than shoulder pads and makeup.
No one sees the me inside of me.
[Spoken] Jesus, you're making me sound like Air Supply.
J.D.
Keep going. This has to be good enough to fool the cops.
(Two Policemen, McCord and Milner, investigate the crime scene)
MCCORD
Whoa! Is it murder?
MILNER
No, look. Here's a suicide note.
VERONICA, HEATHER, COPS
"They couldn't see past my rockstar mystique,
They wouldn't dare look in my eyes.
But just underneath was a terrified girl
who clings to her pillow and cries!
My looks were just like prison bars;
they've left me a myriad of scars."
HEATHER CHANDLER
"Myriad." Nice.
(The COPS hand the suicide note to Principal Gowan)
VERONICA, HEATHER, COPS
"No one thinks a pretty girl has substance. That's the curse of popularity."
(Gowan reads the note aloud)
PRINCIPAL GOWAN
"I am more than just a source of handjobs."
VERONICA, HEATHER, GOWAN, COPS
"No one sees the me inside of me."

(The COPS exit. GOWAN joins FLEMING, RIPPER and some FACULTY)
PRINCIPAL GOWAN
[Spoken] Heather Chandler is not your everyday suicide.
COACH RIPPER
You should cancel classes.
PRINCIPAL GOWAN
No way, Coach.
I send the kids home before lunch and the switchboard'll light up like a Christmas tree.
MS. FLEMING
Out children are dying.
I suggest we get everyone into the cafeteria and just talk. And feel. Together.
PRINCIPAL GOWAN
Thank you, Ms. Fleming. Call me when the shuttle lands.
MS. FLEMING
I'm telling you we all misjudged Heather Chandler.
This is the loveliest suicide not I've ever read.
MS. FLEMING & HEATHER CHANDLER
"Box up my clothing for Goodwill,
and give the poor my Nordic Track.
Donate my car to crippled kids,
or to those ghetto moms on crack.
Give them my hats and my CDs,
my pumps and my flats, my three TVs!"
HEATHER CHANDLER, FACULTY
"No one thinks a pretty girl has feelings;
but I weep for all I failed to be.
Maybe I can help the world by leaving;
Maybe that the me inside of me."
PRINCIPAL GOWAN
Aw, hell. Long weekend for everybody!
(Teachers cheer, as do arriving students)
MS. FLEMING
Not so fast, kids. They're refueling the buses, which gives us a solid half-hour of healing.
I've mimeographed copies of the suicide note so you can feel Heather's anguish.
HEATHER MCNAMARA
I never knew about her pain.
MS. FLEMING
Go on!
HIPSTER DORK
Her life had hit a rocky patch.
MS. FLEMING
Feel!
YOUNG REPUBLICANETTE
Deep down she wasn't cruel or vain -
MS. FLEMING
Heal!
KIDS
She didn't mean to be such a snatch!
MS. FLEMING
Veronica, you're very quiet. What's on your mind.
VERONICA
Uh, maybe Heather realized that in order to be happy she had to give up her power.
And the only way to do that was... death.
MS. FLEMING
My God.
Look what we've done.
We're breaking through!
Heather would be so proud of you!
KIDS
And you! And you! And you! And you!
EVERYBODY
No one thinks a pretty girl can touch you...
NEW WAVE GIRL
Heather touching me...
EVERYBODY
But she's made us better than we were.
Heather's dead, but she will live inside me, and I'll be the me inside of her...
HEATHER CHANDLER
Holy crap! This is awesome!
EVERYBODY
Heather cried, our sins fell on her shoulders!
HEATHER CHANDLER
Jesus Christ!
EVERYBODY
Heather died, so we could all be free!
HEATHER CHANDLER
I'm bigger than John Lennon!
KIDS
(Variously)
Heather's gone, but she will live forever!
She's the dove that sings outside my window!
She's the twin from whom
I'm separated!
She's the horse I never got for Christmas!
EVERYBODY
Heather sees the me inside of me!
Heather is the me inside of me!
Inside of... me!

The Fate Eater
What might a man really do if he found himself reincarnated into a fantasy world as a dragon prince? How would he come to terms with his new nature, his larger-than-life family, the agendas of warring factions, and the destiny he never asked for? This is a story that intends to defy some isekai tropes, but play into others. It's mainly about exploring a rich hand-crafted world, full of its own history and mysteries. Its characters have their own lives and aspirations, and our protagonist is but a piece of the greater tapestry. This story is not about right and wrong, or good and evil. It's about a dragon-man being tested by fate, power, and time. It's about what it's like to live as an outsider who lost their home. But perhaps the most central theme is freedom. What does freedom really mean? What will it cost and how much might one be willing to pay for it? Does it even truly exist? Let's find out together.

The Last Guild: Remastered
Crimson Strife, the most famous guild in all of Eternia. Known far and wide for amazing feats and powerful users. In the final days of Eternia, members would start to quit as the day for shutdown drew closer. In the final minutes of the game, the founding members of Crimson Strife came together and waited for the end. However the end didn't come as expected, instead something new began.I have taken over the writing of this series from Thecode. Since this is the first time I am writing a fanfiction, I am very open to people posting comments in order to tell me what I am doing wrong or how to make the series better. I will also do my best to respond back to people's comments. I will upload a picture once I figure out how to do so. The first few chapters will be pretty much what Thecode uploaded before with a few changes in order to set up the story. I will try to upload a new chapter at least once every three days.

The Doormat Villainess – Adrianne
A villainess is a character who has always been diametrically opposed to the heroine of a romance drama. What makes a person a good villainess? The fact that she's unabashedly beautiful and charismatic, yet also rotten inside? The fact that she's incredibly loathsome, greedy, and selfish? That she's reasonably strong enough to be a hurdle, yet ultimately powerless in the face of a determined heroine? That despite all these character flaws, a Villainess's greatest virtue is unwilling to give up until the last of their breath, in pursuit of her personal desire? If those are the hallmark of a successful Villainess. Then, I might be the wrong person to play that role. Also on Scribblehub (Profile)

# The Gemstone of Ominium 2 - Pain
Her unfazed expression didn’t even waver when the blade of her thin sword pierced one of the men all the way through armor, flesh and bone, a gurgling sound bubbling from his throat. With a kick she mercilessly pushed him back, freeing her blade, and glanced down at his dead body sprawled at her feet, confirming that death had indeed taken him. Stepping over the dead man’s body as if it were a mere pebble on her path, she raised her head just in time to see her second attacker lunge at her and, nimbly turning on her heels, she slit his throat. A spray of hot, sticky blood hit her left cheek and slid down her neck, but she didn’t even blink. The scent of the fresh blood filled her nostrils and her brain like an inebriating drug and she stepped forward once again, lightly turning to one side to avoid being decapitated and quickly returning the favor. One by one the men kept falling as she advanced, victims of her lethal, almost mechanical movements, as if she’d been born with a sword in hand and ready to kill …* This is a direct continuation of Book 1 - Denial. You CANNOT start reading Book 2 without reading Book 1, since the story won't make any sense! Enjoy ^_^*
