If you are expected to write it yourself then there's very little advice anyone can offer except to just DO IT!! No one on here is going to write a story for you.

If you're stuck for an opening, imagine yourself as one of the 3 main characters - the new boy (murderer), the old boyfriend (the victim) or the girl. Put yourself in their position and tell us what happened to you.

If you were hoping to copy some other similar story that has already been written then you are missing the point of the exercise. It's about using your imagination and learning to express it, not plagiarising someone else's and passing it off as your own, as I am sure you know.

Sounds like you already have a plot worked out. It might help to jot down a few things about each character: appearance, characteristics, mannerisms. Maybe even pick out a picture from a magazine and put that on your desk as you work: THIS is the girl, THIS is the boyfriend.

Maybe try starting with some dialogue, and then you can thread it together with the story line later. What might he say to this girl? What does she say that makes her so intriguing? What would the boyfriend's last words be?

As Hillwalker said, no one's about to write it for you... but we'd be happy to read what you come up with and give you more advice from there!

My only thoughts are that you have it in a medical school, have your protaganist have a medical condition, and have the boy friend he shoots be working on a cure for it---too late. If ya wanta learn how to dig a hole, you gotta grab a shovel and start digging. Writing is a lot of trial and error. But when you finish it'll be your hole and no one else's, right?

:iagree: I second Steven's suggestion but with additional details:

A man is admitted to a mental hospital after his girlfriend broke his heart. His nurse looks like his old girlfriend and he becomes obsessed with her. When he finds out that she is dating a male nurse at the hospital, all hell breaks loose, because his heart has once again been broken. He kills him. He kills her. He kills himself.

Muahahaha! I didn't know I could be so dark!
