DECLAN YATES, TINSLEY WALSH
TINSLEY WALSH and DECLAN YATES are not only leaders of the two elite houses, but also the entire school. as the most influential male and female on campus, you'd assume that they would be destined for each other, correct? well, you have guessed rightly. going steady for the past year and a half now, TINSLEY and DECLAN are the 'perfect couple'. not only do they look good together, but they're faithful, and never seem to fight. but behind the power and perfection, lies a secret too dark to tell. you've heard about 'the accident' last year. EZRA FLETCHER, a prior warham boy and DECLAN'S close friend, was found dead in the woods two days after being reported missing. cause of death? an overdose on drugs. they never did find out where the drugs came from, or if anyone else was involved. the school was just thankful that EZRA'S parents didn't sue them, and instead blamed their son's reckless behavior for what happened. this is where TINSLEY and DECLAN come in. they are the only two people that know what really went on that night - the ones who witnessed EZRA'S death, but never came forward due to fear of expulsion; or worse, being accused of murder. it was the night before winter finals, and the trio of friends had gone off into the woods for a little 'down time', as they always did right before big tests. they had just planned on doing a line or two, however, EZRA seemed to have other plans. he didn't stop after DECLAN and TINSLEY did, and instead proceeded on until they found him convulsing on the forest floor. they watched as he died before their very eyes, unable to save him, and unsure of where to turn. but eventually, they decided to cover their tracks and leave EZRA there, swearing each other to secrecy. that night, neither one slept. and to this day, there are times when memories of 'the accident' return to haunt them in their dreams. but through this tragedy, they have grown even closer. DECLAN still feels guilty about what happened to his close, childhood friend, and TINSLEY is the one who's always there to console him.
