Let's be honest, it's a dog-eat-dog world out there. If you don't take advantage of others, they'll just take advantage of you. #CanisCanemEdit

Jonny Woods added a new photo.

Just hangin' out with the Cul-De-Sac Crew!

In the picture were six young adults ranging from age seventeen to nineteen.

The tallest in the picture was tagged as Eddy Mcgee, who had a beefy arm around a shorter but chubbier young man tagged as Edward Trumbull. Next to them was the eldest of the group, Rolf Shepard, who had his hands in front of his face as if to block the lens. In front of Rolf stood the shortest of the young men tagged as Kevin Smith who seemed to be fist pumping. Jonny, the skinniest of the group, was taking the picture with one hand and had his face closest to the camera with one arm wrapped around the lone female tagged as Nazz Winters who was a bit shorter than him.

Eddy McGee, Edward Trumbull, Kevin Smith, and 12 others like this.

The video starts with the camera recording the interior of a pick-up truck. Whoever was operating the camera announced: "Tonight on white trash theater, my sister picks a fight with the gas station clerk!"

The shot moved up and out the truck's window where it showed two young women in front of a gas station at night. The older woman with an apple shaped body was banging on the glass door. Her curly red hair was shaking back and forth with every fist that landed. The younger woman, having a pear shaped body was trying to restrain her sister. Her long blond hair was everywhere, obscuring both of their faces.

"Hey! Your shitty machine isn't given me gas!" yelled the redhead, "We see you in there! Hey!"

"Just stop Lee, he's not gonna let us in." May argued, swiftly repositioning herself in front of her sister as she tried pushing her back.

"Can it May!" Lee shoved May aside and continued to rapidly hit the glass door repeatedly, "Open this door before I tear it down!"

"I think he's calling the cops."

"He better not!" Lee yelled as she smashed her fists against the door of the gas station like a Gatling gun, "I'll tear you limb from limb if you think the police can help you now!"

"Lee let's just go, we don't want a repeat of last Friday," May begged. She now had some dirt on her face. "We'll just get gas and stuff in the morning."

"Fine! You hear that gas-man? You're getting off easy tonight!" Lee turned around stomping, only to stop when she saw Marie with a camera in her hand. May caught eye of this and gave Marie a dissapointed look, shaking her head.

"This should get a million hits in no time!" Marie screeched cheekly, cackling as her sisters scoweled.

"Marie you dumb bitch, hand over that-" After being grabbed, the recording suddenly ended.

Subject: Important Announcement

Hello everyone, Eddward "Double-D" here.

To begin with, I'm happy to hear that everyone is doing well academically. Especially Ed who has managed to maintain a good enough grade to participate in extracurricular activities (Thank you for tutoring him Nazz.) There is no need to worry about me, as you all know too well how I do academically.

Life in Canada has been quite relaxing all things considered. It's nice and peaceful here in the prairies of Manitoba compared to the hustle and bustle of Peach Creek, Georgia. I transferred into their education system quite smoothly with my records, and I've been treated quite well by my peers as I've made a good circle of friends. Staying with my relatives has been rather nice. While my Aunt and Uncle are more lenient taskmasters, they give me enough chores to keep me busy after schoolwork.

I am sorry if I haven't gotten in touch with some of you, I won't list names but I haven't gotten any return messages when I tried to contact a few of you but I understand. Like most of you, I am quite busy with personal affairs, in fact that's part of why I am e-mailing you. For personal reasons, I have decided to continue my education back in the United States. I plan on earning my High School diploma in the US and move on to a university soon afterwards.

To accomplish this, I am moving back home to Peach Creek.

I know that this may upset some of you, and I wouldn't blame any of you. I only ask if we can all just move on from the events that transpired before I left and finish this era of our lives on a good note. With that said, I hope to see you all soon.

From,

Eddward "Double-D" Jones

After nightfall, the moon was new and the sky was obscured by clouds. Only the light from homes, street lamps and the headlights of moving vehicles shined in the darkness. One of these moving cars was taking a turn into a cul-de-sac in Peach Creek and parked in the driveway of the first house on the left. Out from the rear-door of the Cadillac came a tall, lanky young man in a semi-formal attire, which clashed with his black ski hat. "Welcome home Eddward!" announced the boy's father as they gazed out at the neighborhood. His parents told him on the drive home from the airport that not much had changed since he was gone. Yet, while it seemed refreshing to be back, the young man couldn't help but having a lukewarm feel about his return.
