The girls were very worried when they had misplaced a folder in the teacher's classroom. The teacher noted the girls were acting "hysterical" and seemed worried they would get in trouble.
<br>
</p><p>
When the teacher found the folder and saw the notes inside, the school's resource officer was contacted. <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/two-14-year-old-florida-teenage-girls-arrested-for-plotting-nine-murders?via=twitter_page" target="_blank">The folder had labels</a> saying, "Private Info," "Do Not Open" and "Project 11/9."</p><p><div id="c7da91bc-8e44-492f-b7fd-c382c0e55bda"></div></p><p>
Inside, eight pages detailed the girls' plan. They had a list of nine students they planned to target, ideas for luring them away one by one, and even how they planned to dispose of the bodies after.

<strong>This is not a joke.</strong>

The notes included what kinds of clothes the girls would wear, a reference to "traphouse in Sebring" and "5-8 guns."</p><p>

This isn't the first incident of a child keeping a hit list this year.
<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/texas-student-arrested-bringing-blade-hit-list-middle/story?id=61231292&cid=social_twitter_abcn" target="_blank"> In February, a student in Humble, Texas</a>, was arrested after he brought an 8-inch saw blade and a list of student names with him to school.

<strong>School officials made the discovery after being tipped off about a safety concern.
