Judge Cromier (Alex Cromier) is Josie’s mom. At first she liked the idea of her mom being a judge but then once she became one, Josie drifted farther and farther apart from her mom. Alex has a dilemma of being a judge and a mother and this strongly affects Josie and Alex’s relationship.
One gunshot, that was all it took for her to shoot her boyfriend, Matt Royston and kill him. They were “ideal couple” she was smart and pretty and he was a jock and popular, they were high-school sweethearts. But she unexpectedly killed him it was as if she had loved Matt so much that she hated him.
Sterling high school, a perfectly normal high school where nothing has ever gone wrong and everyone has the same routine. But on March 6, 2007 everything changed. Peter Houghton decided to walk in to Sterling High and kill 10 people. This was the day that scarred Josie and everyone else at Sterling High’s life forever. This was the day that changed Sterling, New Hampshire forever. Sterling High would never be the same again.
“If you listen carefully, in a hospital, you can hear the truth” (100). Josie isn’t able to re-cap what happened after the shooting because she is so shocked. In the hospital she listens around and discovers the truth, 10 people had been killed and she had one of the injured. But she can’t seem to remember ever being there. Also, doesn’t want to believe what had happened and all of her friends had been killed. Later, she begs her mom not to have her testify in court because she is scared to remember what happened.
Ex best friend of Peter Houghton. In the past, Peter and Josie were best friends. Whenever he was bullied, she would always stick up for him. Then, she ditches him when she becomes popular in middle school because she can’t be seen with a “loser” like Peter. She never meant to deliberately ditch him, it just happened that way. Once Josie became popular, she became obsessed with social status and looks, someone she never wanted to become.
