JOHN DOVER: One of my students had a crush on me. Read into things that absolutely weren’t there. She sent me some texts. Parents saw them and freaked out.

OFFICER WILSON: How’d your student get your cell phone number?

JOHN DOVER: I gave it to all my students. I wanted to be accessible to them. Big mistake.

OFFICER WILSON: But you left Willow Creek. Why would you leave if you did nothing wrong?

JOHN DOVER: The girl’s mom was on the school board, that’s why. Didn’t matter that I had absolutely zero inappropriate contact with that girl, people looked at me differently. But for the record, the Board of Educational Examiners found that I did nothing wrong. Nothing.

OFFICER WILSON: How about your students here? Did you give them your cell phone number?

JOHN DOVER: No way. I learned my lesson. Causes nothing but trouble.

JW44:

SO, DO YOU FINALLY BELIEVE ME ABOUT RACHEL?

Corareef12:

I guess so.

JW44:

ARE YOU GOING TO PUT IT IN YOUR REPORT?

Corareef12:

I don’t know.

JW44:

WHAT’S THE MATTER? YOU DON’T SEEM LIKE YOURSELF.

Corareef12:

I did something I shouldn’t have.

JW44:

WHAT DID YOU DO?

Corareef12:

I don’t want to tell you. You’ll think I’m a terrible person.

JW44:

I COULD NEVER THINK THAT. WHAT DID YOU DO?

Corareef12:

I borrowed Violet’s cell phone without asking her.

JW44:

I’M SURE SHE DOESN’T MIND. YOU’RE FRIENDS, RIGHT?

Corareef12:

I mean, I took her cell phone. I brought it home without telling her. Our computer wasn’t working. Violet accidentally left her phone behind in the lunchroom. I picked it up and was going to give it back to her, but then I thought I’d just take it home for one night. Just one and then bring it back to her tomorrow. I told you it was bad.

JW44:

YOU STOLE HER PHONE?

Corareef12:

I’m sorry. I’ll bring it back tomorrow. I feel sick.

JW44:

YOU TOOK HER PHONE SO YOU COULD TALK TO ME? I THINK I LOVE YOU, CORAREEF12!

Excerpt from the journal of Cora E. Landry

Dec. 11, 2017

I kept trying to find the right time to return Violet’s cell phone to her but there was no way to do it without being totally obvious. She had let me use her phone before. She even let me take it home overnight once but her mom found out and was super pissed. Violet said she couldn’t let me borrow it overnight again.
