The thing about people is that they meddle into things they shouldn't. In horror movies, people like them are sometimes the cause of drama, or the first one to get killed. Meddling into things they shouldn't even be meddling with in the first place. In times like this, Bea Copper was more than just annoyed or furious.

Standing in front of her was the serpent she was so fond of, tall and broad figure towering over her 5'0 frame. She was a dwarf compared to Sweet Pea who was standing tall and broad. What a fine looking lad, Bea thinks to herself as she studied the serpent's features. But then, she remembered the purpose of Sweet Pea's sudden intrusion of her thoughts.

"It's none of your business." Bea rolled her eyes before scurrying off into the entrance of the school to get out of this hell hole. She didn't turn her back, nor did she even hear anything from Sweet Pea, all that mattered was getting out of here.

Young and naive 14 year old Bea Cooper eyes the small zip lock bag that was in the hands of Jason Blossom. She stared at the substance inside and watched in pure curiosity. The young Cooper didn't know what Jason had in hand, and she turned to ask their other company, Michael.

Together with Michael and Jason, Bea sat on the rock that was near Sweet Water River. They had agreed to meet because Michael had something to show them that was very cool. Of course, being the youngest in their small crew, she didn't hesitate to come over their usual spot by the river. They were her only friends as of the moment.

"Mikey, what's that?" Bea asked, pointing her pointer finger on the plastic to touch it. "Is this candy?"

Michael laughed, "Almost, sweets, but even better than candy."

"Can we try that?" Jason inquired, though, he knew that the thing Michael was holding was drugs; Cocaine to be exact. He was new at this, and it looked exciting. With desperate hands, Jason grabbed the plastic from Michael who only chuckled at Jason.

"Go on."

Bea gazed over Jason who was doing the procedures and started. Being 14 years old, and innocent, the blue eyed girl envied what Jason was doing, for she deemed it as a 'fun and amazing thing' and she was thrilled when Jason was done, handing the bag of cocaine to her.

All of a sudden, Michael snatched the zip lock bag away. "No, don't let her get involve in this, Jason." Michael had the most serious expression on his face as he placed the bag of cocaine on the grass.

Pouting, Bea huffed angrily. "Why can't I, Mikey?"

"Because," Michael started, ruffling Bea's hair that was up in a bun. "You're still a kid."

Pouting, Bea crossed her arms to her chest, "I am already fourteen and an adult."

"You're far from being an adult, B," Michael chuckles, not taking his eyes from Jason who began snorting the drug again. "But, you will experience what it's like to be an adult once you face the motherfucking reality. You won't like being an adult."

With wide eyes, Bea nodded, smiling up at the blonde haired boy. "Can I just touch the bag, please? Just for experience, not gonna smell it promise."

After a few hesitations, Michael grabbed the bag from Jason and gave it to the young girl, the latter watching in pure amazement at the bag in her hand. "This is so cool, Mikey!"

All of a sudden, a loud voice boomed all over sweet water river, catching the three off guard. They glance at the incoming police who were jogging towards them. Sheriff Keller wasn't around and everyone knew that the youngest Cooper only trusted Sheriff Keller when it comes to police officers.

"Quick," Michael exclaimed, pushing Bea gently from her seat and motioning her to run but the latter was too scared to even move. "Run!"

Jason ran like hell, not turning back to even see if his friends were following him. Michael stared unbelievably at the red haired boy before shaking Bea from her trance. "Go, I'll hold them back."

Bea nodded, attempting to dash off but it was no use, the police officer held her tightly on her arm— too tight that it started to hurt her. "Let me go!"

Michael swore under his breath, breaking off from the police officer's hold and punching the police who had Bea in his hold. "Let her go, you cunt!"

Bea fell back and watched in horror as her blonde haired friend wrestled with the police, and without any warning, the other officer took his gun and fired it at Michael. The young girl screamed out a horrific scream and went by Michael's side, shaking him violently. "Mikey, don't go please."

Bea ignores the police officers pleads to get back and focused on Michael who had his eyes on her. "Mikey, please don't leave me."

Michael smiled sadly, placing his hand on top of hers and squeezing it tightly. "Don't be like me, okay? Promise me that you will be better than me."

"But you're my only friend left," Bea sniffs, tears gushing out from her eyes. "Where will you go?"

"I'll go to a place where we will meet again someday. Somewhere far away from here." Michael whispers out, before caressing her cheeks. "Tell them the whole truth."

——

Tears fell from Bea Cooper's blue eyes as she remembers everything that happened that day as if it happened yesterday. She remembered how that officer shot her only friend and the hell she went through after the police questioned her. Unfortunately for them, they didn't get anything from the young Bea back then who only stared blankly at them. They didn't stop questioning her until Bea laughed loudly at them and only uttering out Jason Blossom's name. No one believed her when the only thing she exposed was that the golden boy was with them at that time and the only one who used the drugs.

She remembered all the bullying she went through for 'lying' and accusing Jason Blossom of such crimes. They wouldn't believe all the troubles the golden boy did. No one even mourned over Michael Edwards, all because he punched the police officer in charge. No one knew the whole truth and no one bothered knowing it. So, Bea Cooper vowed to never tell anyone the truth because not even one deserved to know.

Smiling up at the sky, "Mikey, I'll see you soon, I promise."

"Sooner than what I planned."
