One Of The Girls – School Reunion Mystery
It’s the City Girls High Class reunion. They all finished school together. But because they all grew up in a big city, this isn’t a normal timid little “girls’ school” reunion. They are all pretty streetwise. The reunion was to be held in City Cross (commonly known as ‘The Cross’) in the inner city near their old school. But evil has struck. Which of these ladies murdered that other classmate who didn’t make it to the party? Yes – who did murder that card carrying skeptic and determined winner of every argument – Helen?

SUSPECTS
Wendy – I’m a long-range weather forecaster. I read clouds. I’m a top weather forecaster. I’ve known Helen since kindergarten when she pulled my braids. Once I remember, Helen came to find out my weather prediction for the next football match. Even then she was out to prove me wrong. I told her that it would rain so much the game would be postponed. She burst into tears. And it did rain. Of course, she never admitted I’d been right.
Petunia – I married a rich man and I love my condo by the beach. My parents were poor. I can’t believe that Helen and I would have been high school buddies but we were. She was smart. She hung around me because I made her laugh. Artie, my husband says. I make him laugh too. Helen and I had a dramatic bust up of our friendship when we were sixteen and Helen found out I had a boyfriend.
Madelle – I’m the latest mega-bombshell – first I was a model, now I am a singer and soon I will be an actress – my fans love me. Helen and I met at primary school. We lived two doors down from Helen. We spent a lot of time together trying to understand life. You know – we talked about our parents, our loves and so on. When I turned 16, I won a beauty contest and I got offered a modeling job. I left school to go overseas modelling.
Mary – I stutter. I have just inherited heaps of money and I haven't a clue what to spend it on. H-H-Helen and I m-m-met at high school. I think she felt sorry for me because I was so shy. We were in the same class. I was pretty bright. Helen’s home life wasn’t too good because her parents had split up. She used to invite me to stay at her house a lot. Her Mom was an executive in a big company. I really admired her. My Mom was just a housewife.
Leonie – I have just had my 15th child and if God gives me another one I will have it too. Helen and I were friends at elementary school. Helen gave me jewellery and trinkets because she knew I loved them. My husband and I started dating when I was 13. I still love him – kook that he is. We were both from strong Catholic backgrounds. I had to wait till I was 16 to marry Pete. Soon after I married, I became pregnant.
Angie – I’m a bikie chick who is so pushy I could sell lipstick to a nun. Now ya might ask how a dude like me came to mix with a square-head like Helen. Our mothers were best friends and they thought we should be friends too. But I was already friends with a bikie gang. Helen refused to meet them and threatened to tell on me for spending time with them. I had to show her the rough side of my nature to keep her trap shut.
Sonia – I’m a true adventuress – my latest love is dancing with sharks live on TV. I was in Girl Scouts with Helen, but she was more into her books. I invited her to go rock-climbing with me. But she freaked out half way up a rock face. It took two hours to get her down. After that Helen declined all my invites to go scuba diving and so on.
Jillaroo – I’m a farmer. I can’t hack this city stuff. I’d prefer to hack into those thistles. I always wanted to study agriculture, but they didn’t offer it at City High, so I had to content myself with biology. I spent a lot of my holidays at my Grandpa’s farm and one time I took Helen along. She couldn’t get the hang of riding a horse. When my Grandpa killed a chicken, Helen threw up. I’d already killed lots of animals so it didn’t worry me. Death is a part of country life.
SAMPLE
Wendy
ACT ONE
1.2 Wendy: I used to see Helen at university when I was studying meteorology. She couldn’t handle my ability to see into the future. It freaked her out. Even though it was scientific, Helen thought there must be some hocus pocus involved in it.
1.13 Wendy: I became well known as a long-range weather forecaster. After I predicted that hurricane’s devastation of the city, I became famous.
1.17 Wendy: Helen went to university. She also joined the National Skeptics Society.
1.24 Wendy: I write newspaper columns and do radio shows. Helen and her skeptics started a vendetta to prove me a fraud. But Helen was one of the organisers for this reunion and she promised not to give me a hard time at the reunion.

“Hi Stephanie – everything went really well – the girls excelled themselves – dressed up really well. It was hilarious. One person guessed the murderer… It was great.”
Carol George
“We had a blast! Everyone really got into their roles. Costuming was wonderful. My florist made a tacky arrangement with red carnations, a red light bulb, and fishnet hose for the centerpiece. We spraypainted lightbulbs with red and glitter for each person’s placecards.”
Julie Duffy
“Dear Stephanie The party was ‘One of the girls’. It was a great success and everyone had a fantastic time. All the best Julie Duffy”
Melanie Law
“What a great laugh we had with this party. Everyone had went to a lot of effort with their costumes. No-one guessed who the murder was although there were a lot of accusations flying around.”
