Page "Heathers" Paragraph 5

Several days later, the oafish Kurt and Ram spread a false rumor about Veronica giving oral sex to them at the same time, ruining her reputation at school.

J. D.

proposes that Veronica lure them into the woods behind the school with the promise to " make the rumors true "; then shoot them with " special " nonfatal German World War II bullets.

J. D.

offers to plant materials beside the other boys suggesting they were homosexuals, as well as a suicide note stating the two were lovers participating in a suicide pact.

Ram is shot but Veronica misses Kurt, who runs away.

J. D.

chases Kurt back towards Veronica, who panics and shoots him.

The next day, J. D.

and Veronica wake up in J. D's car and Veronica, realising that the bullets were real, intentionally burns herself on the car's cigarette lighter.

J. D.

accuses Veronica of knowing that the bullets were real, which she denies loudly as the argument descends into childishness, with Veronica and J. D.

screaming ' Did not / did too ' at each other, as the Heathers look on.

At their funeral, the boys are made into martyrs against homophobia.

Although she keeps dating J. D., Veronica is alarmed by his behavior and his relationship with his father ( Kirk Scott ); she also learns that J. D.

's mother may have killed herself to escape his father.
