The Synopsis Final Grade
This story begins with Lily talking
to her social sciences teacher, Mr. Reiner, over the B she got on a test in his
class. She's seriously upset over this B because social sciences is an honors
class. Plus, she has to make perfect grades in order to become valedictorian.
Lily is furious because this guy obviously doesn't change about her grade. Since
this is Shadyside, the solution to all problems is murder, of course.
Julie's cousin, Graham. Lily hates
Graham because he's her number one contender in the battle for valedictorian.
One night the phone rings. She picks up and it's some weirdo who says
"Lily, it's me. Someone who knows you, Lily. Someone who knows everything
about you. Someone who watches you all the time." What happened to the old
fashioned heavy breathers? Lily freaks out and asks who it is. They, of course,
simply hang up.
Lily takes off to Mr Reiner's room
to have a little chat. She goes inside the room and finds it empty...or she
thinks. She peeks over the side of the teacher's desk and GASP! Mr. Reiner is
dead, lying in a puddle of blood. Apparently, he was pushed off of the ladder
he was using to change a lightbulb in the classroom. After Mr. Reiner's
funeral, Lily is all cheery and such because she thinks she has a better chance
at valedictorian.
One evening, after copious amounts
of homework, Lily receives another weird phone call again. This time, the nut
simply says "I know all about you, Lily and I know you got what you
wanted. Didn't you?" Lily asks who it is AGAIN and the caller hangs up. Creepy
telephone stalker types do not give away their identity that easily.
She gets home at 11 PM and receives
ANOTHER phone call. "I want what you want. And I'm going to help you, if
you'll let me. Please, Lily, let me help."Lily doesn't bother asking who
it is this time because really, what did that achieve the last time she asked?
She just slams the phone down and goes to bed. What, no studying?
The next day is the "big"
Trivia Contest. Lily gets extremely nervous and screws up which results in Graham
winning the contest. In the printing plant, Lily suddenly hears the printing
press come to life. She looks up and screams--Graham's lifeless body is crammed
inside the press. Lily, being the idiot she is, tries to pulls his body out.
She hears his bones crunching and such and finally she has him free. She looks
at his corpse lying on the floor, blood seeping out everywhere, and she passes
out.
She runs home and when inside her
bedroom, she discovers Graham's horn-rimmed glasses lying on her bed. Scott
enters the room and tells her that he put Graham's glasses on her bed. He
killed Graham. He claims that he did it for Lily. He killed Graham and Mr.
Reiner and it was all for Lily. Scott confesses that he loves Lily and wants
her to love him back. When guys murder people in the name of love for me, I
usually just give them a pat on the back and send them on their way.
The next day, while Lily is working,
Julie calls to tell Lily that she has found a clue in the Graham
"investigation"--a message on the answering machine at the printing
press for Graham! Lily lets it slip that Julie told her about the message and
Scott reacts by saying that he will now have to kill Julie.
Anyway, Scott and Julie wrestle a
little and Scott ends up shooting Julie. He grabs her and hugs her, saying
it'll all be ok. Lily happens to glance over Scott's shoulder...and sees Julie
standing up and walking slowly towards them. Julie picks up a metal bar that's
lying on top of the printing press and smashes Scott in the head with it. He
crumples to the floor and Lily runs over to Julie, asking how is she still
alive? Turns out the gun was actually a starter pistol. The girls call the
police and their parents. Scott sits up, makes a gurgling noise, and falls back
to the floor dead.
