Thoughts On The Murder: No one liked Simone. Jasmin’s life was made a living hell by the bitch and she was glad that she was dead. She’s just sorry that she never got to see the bitch’s last moments. Although she has to thank the wench for dying the way she did, it made Jasmin gain an interest in Forensic Science which she ended up choosing as her minor at college. It complimented her Legal Studies major very well. It was about the only good thing that ever came out of Jasmin knowing her.
History During H.S.: During High School Jasmin was quiet and withdrawn. She lived most of her High School life between the library and the music room. She was known for having buckteeth, big frizzy hair and large geeky glasses. When she was accepted for the Jazz Band, she started to get known for carrying around her French horn and when one day someone stole it from her locker, Jasmin absolutely lost her temper. She had a massive blow out and from that day forward, was known as Blow Hard Jazz. Original, I know.
No surprises as to who was responsible for Jasmin making her first public debut as a hot head. Simone. Jasmin had been bugged by her for years as they had went to the same Middle School and Simone had made sure to make her life a living hell throughout school. Jasmin did all that she could to steer clear of the bullies but there were countless times where she’d get water dumped over her, food thrown at her, stuff stolen from her bag and locker, all those good bully times that kids have in high school that you’ve heard about? Jasmin lived through it.
Jasmin had chosen not to go to the Senior Prom for High School despite the others from Jazz Band asking her to go with them as a group. She didn’t want to give Simone another opportunity to ruin something that was supposed to be a magical and fun night for her. That decision would turn out to be both the worst and best decision that she had ever made. She regretted not being able to see Simone, the life completely drained from her face, but she was glad that she wasn’t there because then she might have been in Cynthia’s shoes.
History Since Graduation: Jasmin worked hard through high school and managed to get straight A’s. She took these high grades (and all her pent up aggression) and applied to get her Bachelors in Legal Studies with a minor in Forensic Science. She applied for all of the Ivy Leagues and managed to gain a coveted place within Harvard. She was thankful that her parents were able to leave her such a life changing sum of money, although she would much rather have her parents with her instead of the money. She moved to Cambridge at the end of summer after Simone’s death. She didn’t want to leave her Grandmother behind but she knew that Gramma was happy in Indiana.
In her first year of college, Jasmin made a point to start taking better care of herself. She began working out, eating better and learned how to properly groom herself. If she wanted to be a lawyer in a big city then she had to look the part, right? She went from the frizzy haired, buck-toothed, horn-rimmed glasses geek to the sexy, hot, sleek lawyer within the year. She felt and looked better and began to get more notice from the fellas and ladies alike. A drunk and awkward college fumble with a former roomie soon helped her realise that she wasn’t into that.
She met her future husband, Alexander, in her second year at Harvard as they were taking the same course. They dated on and off for the first year before getting serious with each other. They were married the summer after their graduating year of their Bachelor degree. They were blissfully married throughout their 4 years at Law School and had their own place together and two loving cats. They discussed kids and future plans but when the subject of future employment came up, they seemed to manage to change the subject every time. Can you guess where the problems came from?
All of the problems in their relationship started when it came to their Associate applications to law firms. Alexander wanted them to go to the West coast while Jasmin wanted to remain on the East coast. The West coast reminded her too much of her parents and she preferred to avoid those painful memories if she could help it. Alexander was of the impression that she should have a thicker skin than that if she wished to be a lawyer and they ended up agreeing to disagree. Alexander moved to the West coast and Jasmin remained on the East coast. They agreed to keep their marriage going long distance to see how it could work.
Jasmin enjoyed her time alone but she ended up missing Alex a lot faster than she expected (what a marriage, man). She made a point to surprise him by flying out without telling him. The trip was also to see how she would feel on the West coast after all these years away. Maybe she could move over there for him. She decided it was worth trying. Unfortunately, Alexander had already checked out of their marriage and had found himself a piece on the side only six months in to the move. Safe to say, Jasmin was pissed off. That happened three years ago. The divorce was not pretty and took almost two years to get sorted out. Since then, Jasmin has been happy working in a prestigious law firm in NYC called Pearson-Spectre.
