A //Friends// Catastrophe

On a Saturday night, three friends, Polly, Happiness, and Margaret, spent the night at Happiness’s for a post-marking period one sleepover. They celebrated their good grades in their AP Language and Composition class. Polly and Happiness both received A+ grades while Margaret had to settle for a mere A. Jealousy lingered in the air. Nevertheless, the friends had a great time gossiping, joking, and fooling around until Happiness proposed the idea that they watch episodes of the hit t.v. show, //Friends//. Margaret protested, stating that she hates that show. Happiness, infuriated, started verbally bashing Margaret telling her that she does not even deserve to be here since she only got an A and has no influence on what they should do.

Sensing a catfight, Polly left the room to call her mother. She was in the midst of asking her mother to pick her up as soon as possible when a scream echoed from the other room. Still on the phone, Polly ran back to Happiness and Margaret only to find Happiness on the floor, dead, and Margaret seemingly shocked. Another scream rang out. Polly’s mother, conveniently a police officer, heard the commotion over the phone and sent her fellow officers over to investigate.

Margaret gave her account of the situation, claiming that Happiness was ready to pounce on her but tripped over the rug and banged her head on the corner of the table. There were no murder weapons in the vicinity except for a clean cheese-cutting knife that the girls were using to eat their cheese and crackers.

The body is still being researched so the cause of the death is not yet known. However, Polly’s mother was able to record the phone conversation since it was on her work phone. She was able to match the screams. The first belonged to Happiness and the second to Polly.
