Searcy Will Pay

“Shane Timble was a kid everybody liked.” Everybody but Winston Searcy I thought. But I couldn’t say it out loud. “No one could deny that he was just flat-out kind to everyone. He always held doors…” I was kind of mumbling. My mind was on other things. Things that would have been more important to Shane, in my opinion. “He was quiet, polite, courteous, and an all around nice guy.” Winston is loud, obnoxious, rude, and an all around jerk. “Shane’s suicide” is a total sham. I was there. He was pushed. “is a tragic loss for family, friends, Rhinecrest Academy, and the world.” Searcy will pay.
