Lauren was having a great day. She'd had her yearly review that morning and had received nothing but 'exceeds expectations.'

"We're lucky to have you," Emily, the principal had said. "Please keep doing whatever you're doing. It works."

That had put her in a good mood for the entire day, which seemed to fly by. And she was looking forward to that evening and dinner with David. He'd called earlier and said Chuck and Katy had tickets they weren't able to use, as Katy was sick with a flu bug, would they be interested?

The tickets were for the musical Wicked, which was playing at the Opera House in Boston. Lauren had heard great things about Wicked and was looking forward to seeing a show at the Opera House, which was completely renovated and was supposed to be spectacular.

She and Amy finished up at about the same time and walked out together. As soon as they stepped outside Lauren saw a lone minivan with KATV emblazoned on its side. The sight of even one van made her stomach sink.

"What do you suppose is going on?" Amy asked.

"I haven't the slightest." Lauren told herself to relax, that it was just one van and more than likely here for something student-related, and nothing to do with her.

They had to walk directly by the van, as it was parked front and center of the main school entrance and walkway. Lauren realized she was holding her breath a little as they got near. They were just about past the van and she was starting to relax a little when the side door flew open, and a smiley-faced pretty, young reporter with a blonde bob and pearls came running toward them.

"Are you Lauren Stanhope?" She asked.

Lauren nodded and braced herself.

"I'm Betty Cummings from WATZ. Miss Stanhope, is it true that you once confessed to murder?"

Lauren's jaw dropped. Whatever she expected, it wasn't this. She didn't think this was possible. She was a minor then and the court records were sealed. She felt a wave of anger wash over her and took a deep breath before answering. She knew she had to be very careful what she said now. If she just said 'no comment', she knew that most people would read that as being as good as guilty.

"I have never murdered anyone," Lauren said quietly and added, "and in the case you are referencing, that confession was tossed out of court."

That stopped the perkiness for a moment, but then Betty bounced back and tried again, "But Lauren, you did confess to murder didn't you?"

Lauren responded to that by simply turning her back and walking away. Amy stuck close to her side until they were at their cars. Lauren knew she was dying to know what the reporter was talking about and since it was obviously going to be in the news anyway, she might as well fill her in on the whole sorry saga.

"Come over. We can talk over coffee and you can help me pick out what to wear tonight.
