A Mystery

Chloe, the “perfect” queen bee of Rosewood Day rules the school with her four best friends, Jasmine, an artsy kooky, independent girl, Kim, a die-hard swimmer and who is fiercely protective of Chloe, Amanda, who is desperate to be perfect and popular at all costs, and Carter, an ambitious A+ student, the only one of the group ever to stand up to Chloe. When their best friend and leader disappeared at the night of their 7th grade sleepover, the girls are devastated but also secretly relieved to be rid of the girl who uncannily discovered all their darkest secrets.

Three years later, the group of friends has grown apart. Jasmine has returned from her two year trip to Iceland. Amanda has totally transformed and is now the most popular girl in school along with the former geek Holly. Kim is going for a swimming scholarship, and Carter has become ultra-competitive with her flawless sister Bethany.

Later in the story Chloe’s body is found, and as horrified as the girls are, they think that their secrets are finally safe. Soon after, they begin to receive messages from a mysterious person known as –M. The threats turn to blackmail as M brings out all their brutal memories and dirty secrets.

Chloe

Each one with a secret, so scandalous and wrong
I think I’ll keep it

But only two can keep a secret if one is dead

You think the truth is this big shiny disco ball of purity

Then go ahead and try it. See what it gets you.

Telling the truth to the wrong person at the wrong time is how I ended up where I did.

Take it from me you're always better off with a really good lie.

Each one with a secret, so scandalous and wrong
I think I’ll keep it

But only two can keep a secret if one is dead.

Holly
I used to be the geek and one with no friends

As I sat here through my tears then we all became close to each other

But it all ended too fast

I look back on all the years

Games we lost
