Entry Seven: Outside Reading

Enough about my inner thoughts, back to the book. At lunch when Peter walked up to see Josie, who he thought liked him back, Matt pulled down him pants in front of the entire lunch room. How mortifying. The book slowing creeps up to the day of the actual shooting, and finally we're there! Peter said that his main target for the shootings was the jocks because they bullied him too much and it had to end. His claim, "They started it." And by the way, I forgot to mention that the detective, Patrick, that arrested Peter and saved Josie, is now dating Josie's mother, Alex Cormier. They're in love and he's always at the house, convenient. Because Josie was around and now involved in Peter's life we have found from their long history from childbirth, she is supposed to testify in Peter's case. Hard because Matt bullied him and she never knew that she was one of the reasons he was so unhappy. Here's the twist you never would've saw coming. Matt was shot twice in the locker room and no other victim was shot twice. Turns out, Peter shot him once and he couldn't have shot him in the stomach a second time because of the projector angle. Josie shot him. Her own boyfriend, I guess she was more loyal to Peter than we thought. Peter was charged with 8 counts of murder and 2 manslaughter. Josie went to a woman's penitentiary where she stayed for 5 years. In the end, Peter suffocated himself to commit suicide. The book closed with Alex and Patrick sitting at the one year anniversary of the shootings by the new glass atrium surrounded with a completely remodeled school claiming to be a safe haven after these gruesome events.
