The Cruelest Cut of Them All - 
by J-Unit
Our sassy, angst-ridden, teenage crime fighting machine Veronica Marshas plenty of talents, one of them being the uncanny ability to create enemies. Now although there are several times when Veronica has made an enemy because she was too quick to judge somebody or they grow tired of how she acts like she is the smartest girl in the whole town, most of the time people dislike her because she has foiled some nefarious crime or exposed some sort of rampant hypocrisy. Oh, and I shouldn't forget the people who want her dead because they believe she is responsible for the bus crash that killed their loved ones, or because she accused half the town of killing Lily Kane. Veronica has had a very difficult time in high school, but like a lot of teenagers, she is going to get a second chance at everything once she graduates and starts college.
When Veronica was on the jury, she was approached by a faculty member of Hearst College, the local liberal arts enclave. It would probably be exactly the type of place that Veronica would be interested in, except that it is so very close to home, and she wants to put as much distance as possible between herself and Neptune. One person who is interested in Hearst is Wallace. His SAT scores are a little low, but he's a baller and when you factor in the points, the boards, and the dimes, he should be able to get in and if they decide to give him one of the final scholarships available, he will almost certainly join. Since Wallace was interested, Veronica says that she will go with him when he goes to Hearst to take a tour. She may not want to go there full time, but if it lets her sip school this year, why not?
Everybody who was still in school learned that the town was sponsoring an essay contest. The winner would get to spend a day with Woody Goodman and would have a chance to push the detonator when they tear down Shark Stadium. That may have excited a few people ( after hearing about the demolition, Dick Casablancas was upset that he "didn't write good", maybe he should try to speak much gooder too), the person getting all of the high fives was Logan Echolls, who just had his case dismissed.
Since Logan had his case dismissed, that meant that he must have broken up with Hannah, right? Well, not quite. When she saw Logan outside to congratulate him on the good news and tell him how much all of her girlfriends were jealous of her on the track team, Hannah got some bad news. Logan said that they couldn't see each other anymore. Hannah wasn't sure what was happening. She is younger than Logan, and so she wondered if it was some weird joke that went over her head, like she had changed her name to Dick Casablancas. Logan said that she's a sweet girl, but he's not a sweet guy, but that wasn't enough for Hannah. She didn't care about that, and as Logan walked away, she could only stand there, wishing that she would get a punch line.
