A Friendship That Became Something More
Shanda’s mother, Jackie, wasn’t so pleased with her daughter’s new friendship with Amanda. It’s understandable that she was unsettled by it, considering Shanda’s grades started slipping, and she started getting into trouble. It was all very uncharacteristic of her. The girls’ friendship soon developed into something more, and the pair began exchanging love letters.

In October, the school dance took place. This was where the girls encountered Amanda’s ex-girlfriend, 16-year-old Melinda Loveless. She was clearly not over her ex because the sight of Amanda and Shanda together made Melinda’s blood boil. During the dance, Melinda tried to start a fight with Shanda, but Amanda stopped her.
