As Agent Bosch was investigating the house of a run away fugitive, Michael, 17, He found a bizarre empty room, but with a diary, he picked it up to read it. As he turns the first page, It goes :

25th June, 2008

Dear Diary,

Today Trevor and his gang ganged up one me again, I don't know why they are like this to me. What have I done to them ?

They wrote mean things on my shirts & beat me into pulp around the lockers. Headmaster just saw the full incident and went to his cabin like nothing happened. I think my few ribs are broken now. I am trying everything that I can, but, nothing is seeming to work.

My parents, I even told them about the problems and bullying and HUMILIATION i am facing in the school, but all they say is, "You are weak, that's why they beat you.", after saying that my crack headed parents starts fighting with each other on daily basis.

Tell me diary, what should i do ? tell me, please someone anyone get me out of this pit of hell, PLEASE !!

Agent Bosch noticed a few drops of tear water on the pages, he was saddened about what Michael went through, but he still can't forgive him of all the murders and sins he did.

Yes, you might be surprised to hear that Michael went on a killing spree in his school. The negligence that the school offered him always led him to a cliff from which he couldn't get back. But what inspired him to do that was the main question that popped up in the mind of Agent.

He continued reading the diary :

3rd July, 2008

Dear Diary,

Finally, after a long time, someone helped me in my school. His name is Derek. He is in a gang and no one even dares to talk to him or say anything about him. Girls are all over him, I guess that's what everyone says Badass is.

Today when Trevor was using me as his playtoy, Derek came in his '69 Mustang with 2 girls and 1 other guy with him. As soon he he noticed Trevor he came rushing towards him and he smashed a boxing jab right in his face. He then looked to me and said, "You better fight for your own".

Yes those were the words that motivated to buy a gun. I bought a pistol from all my savings(as i don't have a place i can spent the money), illegally obviously.

I am going to start killing everyone in the school yes everyone , yes, ohh i am so happy, i am going to stand up for myself. Yes !!!

Agent Bosch was shocked, he had no idea what was going on,, he knew what happened next. The whole Philadelphia knew as it was all on the news.

A KILLING SPREE IN THE HIGH SCHOOL OF PENSYLVANIA. 32 DEAD. THE KILLER IS SAID TO BE A STUDENT NAMED MICHAEL, 17. HE IS CURRENTLY ON THE RUN AND HIS WHEREABOUTS ARE UNKNOWN. THE PHILADELPHIA POLICE DEPARTMENT IS CURRENTLY OVERSEEING THE CASE.....

and so on and on and on, the reporters were reporting.

The agent saw that there was another page in the diary, he was shocked to see that it was the same date as the accident, 4th June, 2008, It goes :

4th June, 2023

Dear Diary,

shit.. shit what have i done shit shit .. bl..od so much blood oh thank god Trevor is dead .... othe..ise.... he would beat me.. ohh yes .. oh no.. Someone help m e .. police is over me what shopu.. i .. do....

The fear was clear in the text but Bosch couldn't sense any guilt in it. Michael's parents were at their respective work, and were asked for questioning. None of them knew about Michael, and till date no one know what happened to Michael or how did he vanished in thin air.

"I can't imagine where that kid went, or is he alive or not, i just know that the kid till this day need help & he need to pay for what he did."

, said Agent Bosch in a documentary. He was found dead 2 days after it's release.

P.S : We see many crimes like these in our lives as well, I don't encourage doing anything rash. If you are being bullied then talk to your parents, if they are not there talk to your brother or sister, if they are not there try to talk wit anyone, Just don't do anything rash, you too have a future.
