There's Something About Mary

Mary Enright was a foster child living with a couple who were unable to have kids and decided to adopt Mary as a result of this. Her adopted parents lived very fast paced lived with important state jobs and weren't really at home much especially during the week especially when it was "work season" as they called the weeks leading up to the holiday season so Mary grew up with multiple nannies who looked after her. She was an introverted girl that never really had any confidence in herself except for when she was in a library or at home in front of the computer, she was dark haired with a fringe covering one half of her face which happened to be the half that her speech impediment was more noticeable on.

She just started her first term in high school and hated every single moment of it, well except for Math and General Science, but besides these classes she would dread the thought of going to school, as soon as she left she was thinking of going back in and when she was in it felt like it was never gonna end. The people in her class would avoid her as much as they could and call her names behind her back, no one would say it to her face as they quietly feared the consequences of doing so, she had a very angry aura to her. She had one close friend though - C.J Clutterbuck who was similar to Mary but made much more of an effort to fit in with others despite the treatment she got from people because of her second name, but overall Mary and C.J were good friends.

The night of the end of term school dance was approaching and Mary of course wasn't going, C.J wanted to go but didn't wanna go alone so she pleaded with her friend to go. "We can just go for an hour and get collected" "We can sit out in the hallway for most of it" "Please please please Mary" C.J begged for days until Mary finally gave in under the condition it was only for an hour and they were to sit alone, oh and also she could bring her earphones and listen to her music, C.J rolled her eyes and agreed.

At the dance and everything was going as Mary planned it, she was wearing dark jeans and a dark hoodie with her trademark fringe intentionally combed to the right, you could see underneath there was a pretty young girl but she didn't wanna show this side to her, she felt more comfortable just the way she was. After C.J went in for a quick awkward dance that everyone laughed at, C.J Clutterfeet she was now known as, she joined Mary back out in the hall where they say and talked about how they grew up together and how they share loads with each other, this even brought a happy smile to Mary's face and the two hugged.

She went into the bathroom as she was feeling awkward at showing her emotion, she never normally used public bathrooms but she made an exception here as she had to get away. While in there she dropped her phone that slid under the door of a cubicle, she opened the door and picked it up but she noticed a lot of writing on the back of the door, it stood out because of the amount that there and all the different colours that were used. It read some horrible words about Mary - "Freak" "Loner" "Slanty mouth"  "Psycho" "I wish she would leave forever" these were just some of the words that were used by people to describe her.

Mary was took over with emotion she was so angry but also sad, at the bottom of the door everyone had signed their names and she noticed one in particular that made her cry and that was C.J Clutterbuck. Mary sat there crying before walking up to the mirror, taking out a scissors and cutting her hair while talking to herself out loud. Looking at herself and wondering why she can't be pretty like everyone else drove her into a rage and she smashed through the mirror cutting all up her hand, one piece of glass was indented in her wrist and blood was pouring out, it had gone deep inside her and cut her at the veins.

A girl walked in and seen the mirror smashed to pieces and on the ground was Mary lying a pool of blood, she screamed and called for help but by the time help had arrived Mary had bled out. C.J was distraught wondering why she did this and it was then she seen the door with all the horrible words said about her friend and on the end of it she was shocked to see her name written there by someone else. Her last image of her friend Mary was of her lying there all bloody thinking that she killed herself because she had thought that her best friend had wrote some horrific stuff about her.

A year later and it was the turn of next years high school newbies to attend their first end of term dance. In the bathroom which Mary died in entered a very pretty looking confident exuberating blonde girl , she was doing her makeup in the mirror when she could see a girl behind her with a long dark fringe covering most of her face, the pretty teen turned around in shock before she was grabbed by this figure and had her face smashed through the mirror before her wrists being slashed. Her body was found a few minutes later and no one could ever explain what had happened to her.

Some say that at the event every year Mary comes back to claim one pretty victim to get revenge for what they wrote about her and drove her to do. There is another saying that if you go into that bathroom at anytime and turn off the light and say out loud the words "Bloody Mary" and repeat this three times then she will appear and take your life. This is said to be the origins of Bloody Mary!!!!
