So this high school student commits murder and Snapchat gets him caught. Now the kid's name is Chayden and Chayden is 16, living in Iowa, going to high school like a normal kid his age. And in 2021, Chayden decides something that's ultimately going to change his life forever. He decides that he really wants to go study abroad in Spain. However, he also realizes he's got a big problem. His Spanish teacher. His Spanish teacher is this woman, who we'll just call Spanish Teacher. Now, according to the students at the school, Spanish Teacher is beloved and very good with her students, but she's also known to be an extremely tough grader. A lot of the kids complain about how hard her class is. So of course, Chayden really struggles in her class.
In fact, he's essentially on the verge of flunking it. Now, I'm not sure if he's doing poorly on his assignments and whatnot and he deserves to be failing the class, or if Spanish Teacher really was just that tough. Regardless, Chayden feels like he has put in the work and he doesn't deserve to have a failing grade. And to him, this is crucial that he pass. Otherwise, he won't be accepted into the exchange program and he won't get to go to Spain. So Chayden becomes obsessed with this failing grade. And pretty quickly, his obsession turns to anger. And he starts blaming all of this on Spanish Teacher. Like how dare she fail him after all the work he's put in. And he'll like go and vent to his friends about his grade.
Sometimes he'll go and talk to her Spanish teacher about it. And he'll argue with her, claiming that he doesn't deserve the grade. And at one point, he even goes to the school with his mom to have her talk to Spanish teacher about the grade. And I'm not sure what is specifically said in this meeting, but Spanish teacher ends up holding firm and she doesn't change his grade at all. So over time, he continues to get more and more angry over this. And he starts to believe that she is out to get him. Like she's personally trying to ruin his life. And that is when he starts telling his friends that he wants to murder her. One of those friends he talks to is this kid, Jeremy. And Jeremy is also 16, and he goes to school with Chayden, and he's also in Spanish teacher's class.
So one day, Chayden tells Jeremy, I really hate this Spanish teacher. Wanna help me kill her? And I guess Jeremy's like, alright. So they get to work, trying to figure out how they're going to successfully pull off this murder without getting caught. And they meticulously plan everything out. They start stalking Spanish teacher, trying to figure out where she's going to be, and learning her daily routine. They make a list of supplies to get, and they get them. Chayden starts googling things like, what happens to students' work if the teacher dies in the middle of the term? And, do students receive credit for a class if the professor is seriously injured or dies more than halfway through the course?
And so two weeks go by, and during this time, they learn that every day, Spanish Teacher goes for a walk at the local park, where she always follows a trail that passes through an isolated area, meaning when she walks that part of the trail, she'll be alone and vulnerable. So, Chayden and Jeremy decide that this is going to be the perfect place to attack her. They'll wait until she's on her walk, and once she gets alone, they'll ambush her with a baseball bat. So, one day, I guess, Chayden talks to Jeremy, and they decide that today is the perfect day to go through with this. So, Chayden and Jeremy, they go to school, and they go to all their classes like it's any other normal day. Then after school, they head over to the park and they hide out and they wait.
Sometime later, Spanish teacher shows up and she's going through her daily walk and whatnot. And at some point she sees them out there passing by and she has no reason to be suspicious of them. I mean, it's a public park. So they exchange greetings and they move on. But then Jeremy runs ahead on the trail loop to get in front of her again, while Chayden doubles back so that he's now following behind her.
