Looking for Alaska's Advice
To Alaska:
I think I've been infected with Deliria. Every time I see this girl my heart pounds out of my chest. The strange thing is I love it. What do I do to hide it.
Sincerely,
Infected and Happy (Alex)
To Infected and Happy:
I recommend you admit it. If you admit it you may be able to get some help. They might be able to cure you and spare you the pain of the crypts. Choose wisely, as you may be executed. BE SMART,

Weekly Movie Review
"Love, the one thing holding society back from it's full potential, is an insidious disease." This week's movie review is for Infected, based on the best selling novel Delirium, written by Lauren Oliver. The plot kicks off with Lena Haloway, an average 17 year old teen living in Portland, Maine. There's only one twist, love is a disease, and it's forbidden, you get the cure at 18, but if you get infected before then, there's no stopping it. Lena's life suddenly changes when she meets Alex, a 19 year old who is cured, or is he? Delirium takes an interesting look at a barren, bland, lifeless society.

TEENAGERS WITH DELIRIA CAUGHT, SPARK FIERY DEBATES ALL OVER THE CITY
17 year old Magdalena Haloway and 19 year old Alex Sheathes were caught with the horrific disease on Thursday night. Many arguments have been made as to what to do with them. Amethyst Kelly and Peter Hernandez both agreed that they should both be thrown in the crypts on a life sentence. Conversely, Katheryn Hudson stated, "She should be spared. She hasn't reached the threshold age for being cured, so she's innocent. On the other, he would be executed, but not just executed, publicly executed." We reached out to the Tiddle family for comment, but they declined to make a statement.
