List of incidents.

4/11/25 / Preston, Malik

On April 10th, 2025, Malik, Danielle, and Preston played "Dead Rails" (Roblox) over the phone on Snapchat together. Malik had never played the game before (Danielle had played previously but did not go beyond 25%) although Preston had finished the game multiple times, so he began to tell them what to do and which items to take that would be important, and how to play the game. Preston had to leave at some point, so he bought the supplies they would need to finish and left the game. That night, Malik and Preston got back on Roblox and played "Find Everything". Preston was about 2/3rds completed with the game, and was telling Malik where the first ten items were so he could unlock the other movement options quickly so he could explore the other majority of the game without being stuck on the tutorial., as had taken Preston about an hour to complete this part, which could realistically be done in under ten mintes under guidance.

The next day, during 6th period (which Preston and Malik share, Computer Art 2) Malik brings up near the end of class that he "did not enjoy being bossed around" by Preston the previous night during the games they played last night. Preston questioned how that is classified as being "bossed around" when Malik had never played either of those games before, and he didn't know how to play. Preston insists that he was only showing him how to play. Malik says nothing, and while they were walking out of class as the bell rang, Malik walked the complete opposite direction instead of walking with Preston as normal.

Malik sends a paragraph to Presotn on Snapchat at around 3:30, the topics being how he "never changes" and that he is a manipulative gaslighter. Over the course of a debate/argument, Preston again asks what is he even trying to say, and also ultimately states that if Malik genuinely had a problem with what had happened he could have just said all of this in person, or if he truly did want to play on his own accord he could have just said that the night they had played together instead of waiting until over text to type this out. Preston also poins out that in earlier situations, Malik has been unable to communicate his thoughts in person and always "hides behind a screen". Malik ultimately says "my mom taught me to forgive everyone, but i will never forgive you for this", also stating that he did not care what was going on in his life (a previous incident that Malik had read private writing from Preston, even thought he had repeatedly asked him to stop) and subsequently blocks Preston on everything, including Roblox, Xbox, and Steam. Neither the reason for this nor Malik's initial issue were ever stated or clearly conveyed or discussed further, and there has not been a reconciliation as of 5/15.

When asked by Danielle about his thoughts regarding this situation about two to three weeks later, Malik gave a completely different argument than was first presented, convnienetly leaving out anything about the violation of privacy, or that he had stated he did not care about him previously thinking about ending his own life or his complications with his father.

As a direct consequence of this incident, the triad between Danielle, Malik and Preston is split between just Preston and Danielle, an incomplete triangle between the two aforementioned members. The compass that they used to go to, 202 (Mrs. Zopf's room) also no longer features Malik there. Mrs. Zopf, knowing the both of them, at some point was informed of the incident when necessary as she asked why they were separated. When Mrs. Zopf asked Malik about the situation, he labelled Preston as a "gaslighter."

It is noteworthy that Danielle belives that Preston does have a tendency to dismiss other peoples ideas in argumentative situations, albeit she does not believe it was unjustified in this situation.

3/??/25 / Preston, Danielle, Malik, McKenna

This was an argument about Gillian and Daniel that lead to the group chat ultimately separating. (Write about this later).

2/24/25 / Preston, Zion

At 10:23am, Preston, while walking from Math compass to History after study hall, discovers Zion and her friend Cheyanne in the hallway, presumably picking up crackers that Cheyanne had spilled on the floor. Preston, in an attempt to be humorous, takes photos of this, which they laugh at. Some time later (within the hour) he posts them to his story on Snapchat, which Zion replies to saying "Take this down fr, you're weird."

Preston quickly apologized and removed the photos, after Zion expressed that she had alledgedly asked him to stop taking pictures and that it is weird to post them as they do not know each other.

2/24/25 / McKenna, Preston, Gillian

At 8:33am, Preston added Gillian to the main Snapchat group chat under the intentions of a joke, stating "Gillian you get a temporary member pass. Expires in 6 hours." She was subsequently removed by McKenna, who ultimately did not wish to mix her "school friends" with her other social circle.

Gillian subsequently contacts Preston and states "i do not want that pass bro ❤" which he replies with "security wasn't letting you in anyways 💔". McKenna then states the following:

"1 she’s my friend 2 I js don’t always want her around 3 you guys are my escape for when I don’t want to talk to ppl ik irl 4 if I ever get into a fight w u guys I could never leave and then it’d js be weird of her to stay"

Preston made a joke some time later about "snitching" to Gillian about what McKenna had said about her, which she took seriously. Eventually this escalates between McKenna and Gillian through textual exchanges over Snapchat. While what exactly was said was unknown, McKenna continually gives updates through the main group chat. Via McKenna, Gillian was angry about being removed as she was "not welcome around these parts."[1] Due to her responses, McKenna actually believed Preston had actually told her. This was later clarified. Gillian was alledgedly "a little moody at the beginning of class" according to McKenna due to the exchanges.

2/21/25 / McKenna

An incident involving the school’s cheer team took place on February 21 after a cheer game. McKenna and Sophie entered the bathroom, where Keniyah, Brianna, and Jakayla were changing. Cassie also entered at one point during the exchange. During this time, Keniyah made a remark about McKenna’s outfit, saying that it made her look like a “whore.” McKenna was wearing her cheer skirt and hoodie at the time. Later, after leaving the bathroom, Keniyah reportedly called out across the student section for Gillian to “tell McKenna to put some f***ing clothes on because she looks like a f***ing whore.” In response, McKenna asked several individuals, including Demi, Cassie, Yara, and Yanna, if she looked like a “whore,” and they all agreed that she did not look promiscuous.

At some point after the game and before February 21, Coach K was informed of the incident by McKenna and Gillian. Initially, Coach K thought it was a joke but later took it seriously when McKenna acted on it by putting trousers on, showing that she had taken it to heart. Coach K then told McKenna not to let others put her down. On February 22, Keniyah texted McKenna, asking if she had actually taken the comment seriously, attempting to be sarcastic. Their conversation continued for some time, with Keniyah first playing it off, then becoming defensive. Eventually, Keniyah stopped responding and removed McKenna from various social media platforms. During the game on February 21, Keniyah also put in her Instagram notes, “baby you’re fast asf 😭,” which McKenna, the coaches, and various associates of McKenna believed was directed at McKenna, implying she was being promiscuous or a “homie hopper.”

On February 24, McKenna was contacted by her coaches via email, specifically Coach M, which detailed that they would like to hold an intervention between McKenna and Keniyah. The email stated:

"Coach Kley and I believe that a mediation meeting would be the best route to continue. This meeting would allow for you two to clear the air and talk about the situation while in the presence of a coach/es. It is your decision if you would like to go this route or if you think it would be better to just try to move past it without a meeting being held. Let me know your thoughts! If you need anything, please reach out to me. Coach Em."

Keniyah reportedly told the coaches that she had never made the comment, despite admitting to it in text messages. McKenna informed Coach K about the texts and expressed her feelings about how Keniyah had spoken to her in a condescending manner.

Incident 2/?? (Speculation early February)

This is flagged as likely irrelevant.

McKenna and Gillian hang out at Gillian’s house. At some point that night, McKenna and Gillian drive to _ (Jake’s?) house for a planned “two man.” McKenna takes (furthermore referred to as Unknown Man #1) and Gillian takes Jack. The initial plan was that Gillian was to do various “acts” for Jack, while McKenna and Unknown Man #1 hang out at the other end of the room. Unknown Man #1, however, keeps interrupting what Jack and Gillian are doing, eventually prematurely ending the activities between them before they even start. McKenna and Gillian eventually leave. Some weeks later, (at some point between 2/20 and 2/22) Jake and McKenna have an interaction on Snapchat in which McKenna sends a snap of her on the toilet, the caption being related to shitting. Jake calls her weird, and that “girls don’t do that” and McKenna initially takes it as a joke. However, Jake stops responding to her snaps and texts. At some point around 2/20, Gillian tells McKenna that Jake thinks (possibly told her verbally) she is weird because of the aforementioned interaction.

• Gillian has a reputation of shifting how she feels depending on external or trivial factors unrelated to the situation.
