Excerpts

From Defriended:

The headline glared at him from the screen.

Teen Killed; Body Found After Local Party

Jason blinked. On the monitor, Lacey's name blinked back at him. He rubbed his eyes. It was still there. His brain sprinted through the possible explanations: It was another Lacey Gray, it was another town called Brighton; it was all just a terribly unfortunate coincidence. The problem he couldn't get around was the photo. The image he knew better than any shot of himself, better than any photo of anyone. It was Lacey's profile picture. Frozen, midlaugh, the girl of his dreams was right there in front of him. Maybe he was hallucinating. He pinched himself. Hard. It hurt, but none of the text in front of himchanged. Jason's inbox pinged. One new e-mail. The sender's name made his stomach twist with a mixture of relief and terror.

Whether she was alive or dead, Lacey Gray was online.
