A story about the murder of the whole high school football team in Huntsville, a tiny town in the United States, which shocked the community. Football player-turned-aspiring photographer Charlie Murdock is the stunner counterpart of Sadie Mayfield, the ideal girl-next-door, and Mike Sinclair, his geek best buddy. Their adversary is the wealthy and ruthless Valentina Prescott, whose brother was also a part of the football team that is murdered, or so everyone thinks. Huntsville is a small town, but it's long dark, mysterious history can shatter everyone's mind.
This tale is set in the sleepy Oregon town of Huntsville. What was once an innocent town now has been changed forever by the strange disappearance of the Huntsville High football team. The Police remain unable to determine where they went or who abducted them.
The town, which had enjoyed peace and prosperity, is now regarded as a hunted town.
Every week, one of the players who has been missing is found dead by the authorities. Additionally, the fourth body has been discovered floating down the Huntsville River in the fourth week, sending another shock wave of fear back into the town again.
Getting back to downtown Huntsville's Elm Street. A strong knock on the door, Knock Cole out of his obsessive diary.
"Charlie, you have a visitor?"
"Jezz, you scare the crap out of me, Dad" Charlie exclaims,
"Next time try writing your weird diary without putting on your headphone," Fred says.
"what do you want, Dad?" Charlie asks.
"I don't know, some girl with blonde hair wants to see you."
"Thanks, Dad, Tell her I'm coming," Charlie responds as his head is still fixed on his book.
"Tell her yourself, get your ass down there now." He tells his son again before walking back down to the kitchen.
Charlie closed his diary book, grabbed a pile of flyers from the printer, and stacked them on the shelf.
"Jezz, Did Nate tell everybody at school about me or something? This is the fourth time in a single week, Jesus Christ."
Charlie swaggers down the stairs, but at the sight of his visitor, he stops dead. it wasn't one of the students from his school that keep coming to his house and asking Charlie to cheat for them in the exam.
"What the fuck? Why are you keep coming to my house, Cheryl?" Dissapoiment and anger toward his schoolmate reappear again in Charlie's head.
"Charlie, I'm sorry, that I sold you out last time, I know I'm wrong, I'm here to make it right, please forgive me?" the blonde teenage girl says.
"You cost me my school scholarship, you dipshit!!! I don't ever fucking want your sorry, okay, all I want is my fucking stupid scholarship back." Charlie says as he raises his tone up another notch.
"What if I told you I can get your scholarship back?" Cheryle says, happiness written all over her face.
"How, Principle Dipshit made it clear he doesn't want to see my face at his school ever again." Said Charlie as his hand still hold onto the door handle.
"Principle Hiram is gone okay, my Dad is the new principal of Huntsville High now."
"Why I mean he is a dick, but he is still a good principal?" Charlie mumbles.
"Hmm, the family of the football team wants him gone, they even went the extra mile to protest in front of the town hall."
"Well, this is the first time mayor Blossom, listen to his minions," Charlie smirks.
"Yeah with the Prescott family backing them, that's why Mayor Blossom fired principal Hiram and replaced him with my dad," Cheryle explains.
"So your dad is now in bed with the Prescott family, that just fucking fantastic." Charlie cursed, as he run his hand through his hair. He did it every time he feel stressed or overwhelmed.
"They not that bad, Charlie, They help build the road, hospital, and the new football field for the school football team."
"Yeah, with their drug money." His forehead creases and his blood vein start to emerge out of his skin again, showing how angry he is toward the town's richest family in town.
"Don't mean to be a dick, Charlie, but you don't have proof."
"Talking about proof, huh, My dad when he was still the chief of police, he nearly got the damn proof that was strong enough to bring the entire Prescott family down, but they use their drug money to bribe their way to freedom and robbed my dad out of his job and my family house, that why now we are this poor, Cheryl."
"I'm sorry about that Charlie, I really am."
"It doesn't matter now, so about the scholarship, what is your dad's offer?"
"My dad said, he will give you back your scholarship if you join the Bulldog, football team."
"Okay, Fine, I join the Bulldog," He sighs.
"So that it then, welcome back to Huntsville High again Charlie. Sadie will be really happy to see you back, See you on Monday." Cheryl says, her smile widening even further in happiness.
"Yeah yeah don't crimp your paint, Cheryl, I don't forgive you yet."
"I know I know, but at least it makes you happy now."
"You want my forgiveness, come with Sadie to Pop's dinner after school, if you come you have my forgiveness."
"Consider it done, smackhead," Said Cheryle.

A few days passed, and Monday come so fast, this is the first time in three months that Charlie step foot in Huntsville High's front yard since he got expelled. The trip from Charlie's house on Elm Street to Lakewood High takes less than 30 minutes, but they are the longest 30 minutes of Charlie's existence.
Overwhelmed with anger and despair, when he arrived at the parking lots, parked his bike, he went straight to the school's hall, scan everything around him with his dark blue eyes, looking for the one girl in the entire school that can cure his loneliness, his depression and can calm him down.
His heart starts racing when his pair of eyes finally located her. Sadie Mayfield, his best friend, girlfriend, and his soulmate. Everything Charlie ever dreamt of in one body.
"Sadie," Charlie yells with excitement while standing by himself on the other side of the School's hallway.
Sadie's ears immediately pick up the calls. She turns to look around her to see if it is just in her head or somebody did call for her. She still didn't know Charlie come back to school yet, because Cheryl want to surprise her best friend, even though she was the one who get her best friend's boyfriend expelled in the first place.
Sadie's jaw drop and her face turn red in an instant as she finally saw the white haired, blue-eyed boy, Charlie, on the other side of the hall.
"Charlie !!"Sadie exclaimed with tears in her eyes,
"Hi Sad, I'm back," Charlie replies with an open arm waiting for Betty to run into it.
Without hesitation, Sadie drops her book and runs straight into Charlie's arm that waiting on the other side.
"I thought I never see you again, Charlie," Sadie says against his chest.
"Me too, I really miss you, my love."
"So you got your scholarship back, How."
"Oh, it Cherly doing, she pulls some strings with her dad and got my scholarship back."
"In exchange for??"
"Me joining the Bulldog."
"Seriously, I thought you quit it, after your last accident, Charlie."
"I don't have a choice Betty, Cheryl said the deal is non-negotiable."
"let me talk with her then."
"There's no need, Sad, I also want to play football again, and try to rebuild the Bulldog back to its glory."
"Somebody else can do it for you. It doesn't have to be you all the time." Sadie says, as she still maintains eye contact with her boyfriend.
"I'm the only experienced player left in this entire school. The new recruit needs someone to lead them, I can't abandon the Bulldog like that, especially in this difficult time when it needed me the most, Sadie." Charlie explains.
"Okay, I understand, but what about your art class with Mr. Jefferson, you gonna drop it too."
"No, I'll talk with principal Parker, to squeeze Art class into my school schedule, don't you worry Betty."
"I hope so."
"I'll meet you later, okay, I need to go to the principal office now."
"Bye, love you beb."
"Love you more," Charlie shouts back causing everyone in the hall to turn their attention toward him.
"Oh...sorry," Charlie says before making his way into the Principle office.

Opening the office door, Charlie saw Principle Parker, busy typing on his Laptop's keyboard with a lot of files on the other side of the desk.
"Hello, Principle Parker, I come here to thank you for having me back, sir"
"No worry there, Mr. Murdock, we are glad to have you back in Art class and in the Bulldog football team,"
"Sir, How do you know?"
"Cheryl told me, she said you are an outstanding student with amazing photography skills and Football spirit, and I know she was also the one who get you expelled from this school the last time, and I'm sorry for her, and I'm here to make it up to you.
"It's okay, Principle Parker, Cheryl, and I, we are good now."
"Glad to hear it, so I have another proposal for you Cole, I want you to be the new Bulldog's captain, I talked it over with coach Clayton and he agreed." Said the Principle.
"Thanks, sir, I will not let you down, sir." Charlie responds,
"That's it, Charlie, you can go back to class now."
"Thank you again, sir."
