The Truth About Jessalyn Santana
Everything you know about Jessalyn’s death is wrong. I don’t care if you read all the newspapers or was her best friend, you are wrong. No one knows the truth, except me, and my parents of course. Who am I? I’m Haley Santana, Jessalyn’s little sister.
As you already know, Jess was one of the most popular girls at Rose Creek High, you can imagine how fun it is living in her shadow.

That morning, I was getting ready for school, still with tears in my eyes, but this time it wasn’t just Julie at my front door. Amanda was also with her, she asked with fake worry, “Where’s Jess?
