You and Tatum have been close friends since the first grade.

Today has been very eventful in Woodsboro; two of your classmates, Casey Becker and her boyfriend, Steve Orth, have been murdered, and the authorities still haven't found the killer.

You are at Tatum's house, hanging out in her bedroom late at night while her brother, Dewey Riley, the deputy of Woodsboro, works on figuring out the case at the police station.

You sit on Tatum's bed as she paints your nails a pretty lilac color. She's always thought purple suited you. She looks up at you as she applies the second coat.

"You know, if that psychopath ever tried anything on you," she says, clearly referring to the person who killed Casey and Steve, "I'd draw blood. I wouldn't let that scumbag do anything to you."

She means every word; she would never lie to you, not for any amount of money in the world.
