CHAPTER 3
We knocked on the door three times and when no one answered we just made our way inside. Aria called out to Mona and Jennifer several times and when nobody answered, we decided to head inside, close the door and look around Amanda's stuff for clues. 
We made Jesse stay outside with the excuse that she was waiting for Mona and Jennifer, because you don't expect people who hate some other people to wait outside their door.
Amanda had three boxes of clothes kept under her bed, and when I say clothes I mean just clothes. Her purple purse had her mobile and credit cards (probably stole it from her parents) and alot of make up stuffs.
We kept on looking around: inside the closets, jackets, sandals, drawers, and bags until we found a white envelope.
We read the address out loud :
                                      24/117 Hampton Port Brooklyn
Inside the envelope there was a $2000 bill. 
We looked at each other,shocked. We knew that she was blackmailing people and asking for money but asking for such a huge amount was news to us.
I snatched out the white paper pasted on the envelope, having the address and placed it inside my pocket. We were all ready to head out after leaving the things as they were supposed to be.
Aria messaged Jesse to know whether the coast was clear or not and when she got a yes, everyone started to head for the door.
We were about to leave for our rooms when we were stopped by the figure of two girls whispering to one another. They had already noticed us. Mona was the first one to spot us and exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"
Waiting for your arrival !" Ashley answered letting our a tsk voice.
Mona and Jennifer both exchanged terrified glances and then finally Jennifer broke the silence and said, "What do you want from us?" 
Aria eyed Mona and Jennifer to talk inside and when they understood the action they opened the door and let us in.
"So...you mind telling us where you were when Amanda screamed outside the building?" I asked them.
"Amanda had asked us to get her cell from her purse, so we had to come inside the so called camp house. Its not exactly a building, it just looks like one." Mona answered
I rolled my eyes.
"Why did she need her cell so suddenly? " Ashley questioned them.
"We have absolutely no idea! Maybe she forgot it. But it was very weird for us as well, she usually carries her cell around wherever she goes but today seemed quite different!" Jennifer answered.
"She seemed depressed after coming back from her date with Ian this morning," Mona said.
Jennifer gave Mona a look that the secret was not supposed to be said but her it was in a room full of seven girls.
"What happened with Ian?" Aria asked. A huge grin lit up her face.
"NOTHING!" Mona shouted loudly and when she realized that she had overreacted, her cheeks burned red,"Normal fight!" she answered not facing us.
"Oh please! For Christ's sake, the look on your face is completely showing that you are hiding something," Jesse said as she looked around the room.
"Ian wanted to break up. He thought what Am was doing was waaay tooo risky!" Jennifer said as she looked at Mona, who flinched. 
"Well yeah it's risky! Peeping into other people's life and blackmailing them..no wonder Ian wanted to break up!" I said.
Mona and Jennifer looked guilty for telling her best friend's secret.
"But the sound of her scream must have reached you guys so why didn't you come downstairs?" Aria asked getting us back to the original topic.
"Um..yea. But there  was a phone call coming on Am's cell and we though that we should answer it first. We went down after picking up the cell but it was too late! The ambulance was already here," Mona said in a teary tone.
"We went to talk to Ian, we thought Ian might have killed Am," Mona said grabbing a napkin. 
"Why did you think that Ian would kill Amanda?" Hannah asked.
Mona and Jennifer exchanged looks.
"Ian was planning on marrying Melissa Hastings and Amanda threatened Ian that she would tell Melissa about their affair!" Mona said bursting out in tears.
Aria passed her the napkin box in which Mona blew her nose and Aria gave out a shriek.
I was completely shocked by the sudden information. Melissa... Melissa Hasting was my very own older sister and I had absolutely no idea that she was seeing Ian more than that marrying him!
"I don't think even Mom and dad knew about Ian otherwise they would have told me," I told the others who were looking at me in surprise after hearing Mel's name.
"Maybe they didn't want you to know..," Jesse said in a soothing voice.
"Why would they not want me to know?" 
"Well for starters Ian is a teacher in the school you study. So maybe they thought that you would be shocked to know that your school's basketball coach was marrying your own sister and they sure know you don't like Ian very much," Aria explained.
"That doesn't make any sense!"  I said infuriated.
"Or maybe they knew about Amanda and Ian, you and Amanda used to be friends before so maybe that's what stopped them all from telling you about the news." Hannah said.
I was completely shocked!
But this answer made a little sense. I mean Amanda did threaten Ian and what if she had already told Melissa show their affair.
"It will take a hell lotta time to process the information," I said laughing.
They all gave me a comforting smile.

Chapter 2 

Being a teacher, she was shocked and frightened that one of her students had died, but she she also relieved nonetheless. Amanda had figured out one of her spicy secrets as well.

I had heard it from Amanda that she had seen the Principal and Ms. Marin kissing. To prove her statement, she had also taken a photo which she had shown to me once. She had also told it to Ian. 

He tried to warn her not do anything as  risky as blackmailing her homeroom teacher and school principal. But Ian gave up pretty quickly and just laughed the whole idea off. 

I knew about this and while I was heading towards Ms. Marin, I informed the girls about it as well. They seemed all shocked and perplexed. "What was in the picture?" Aria asked. The picture was not only of them kissing but of something much more nasty happening. "Must have been something nasty since it's Am we're all talking about," Ashley said.

Amanda was quite a sweetheart of her friends, like everyone said she made her friends fell special. 

I gave a nod as we approached Ms. Marin.

She was busy talking on the phone but hung up when she saw us approaching. We asked her about where Mona and Jennifer were. She answered," I don't know. I am really shocked by all of this happening that i didn't bother to talk attendance of the crowd on the murder scene." 

We exchanged glances. "How could she possible joke about it?"Hannah whispered to me. 

"Go check their rooms!" Ms. Marin waved at us, indicating that the conversation was over.

She turned around and approached the ambulance. 

"Well she seemed rather cheerful, didn't she?" Jesse snorted.

"She's just tensed about the strange events of this myseterious night," I said.

Hannah laughed and said," Spence's being a poet suddenly!" She gave me an elbow.

"We should check for Mona and Jennifer in their rooms,"" Ashley said.

We took Ashley's suggestion and headed for the building.

We were heading towards the building crossing the green grass now covered in blood where Amanda's body once lay. It was now being carried away inside the ambulance. 

We were about to go inside when I overheard a man informing Ms. Marin about Amanda's dead. His exact words were," We're really sorry ma'am, but she's dead! You should probably call the police, this isn't some natural death case. I'll be leaving now!"

I turned around and looked at Ms. Marin , who was again busy on the phone. I assumed that she was informing the principal. 

Hannah and Jesse called out to me. They must have seen me looking at Ms. Marin and asked me, " What did you hear?" 

"Amanda's dead and they think that she was killed. They want us to call the police," I informed them.

"Why would they they think that?" Aria asked me "Did they find some weapons?" 

"I don't know. I'm just telling you what i heard," I answered back.

"Maybe she committed suicide?" Ashley suggested.

I wish it was that simple!!

"Oh please! What reason does the Amanda Delaurantis have to commit a suicide. She had everything people would beg god for!" Hannah replied half jokingly and half seriously.

She had never really like Amanda much. Despite admiring Amanda's clothes, Hannah despised Am.

"Why would someone want Am dead?" Aria asked.

"Secrets!" I realized my mouth moving on its own and answering. My mind must have known all along that Amanda was not really someone nice and kind. 

Everyone stopped and turned around to look at me.

"Well that's one reason!" Jesse said trying to break the awkward silence.

"True. Am has done lots and lots of bad things but I really don't think that anyone would go as far as killing her. That's insane and dangerous!" Hannah said reaching towards the end of the hall and finally standing in front of Mona, Jennifer and Amanda's room.

"Well it might've been insane but you have to admit,, knowing everyone's secret was a dangerous game," I told them . 

Hannah stared at me as she spoke," Amanda only messed with  people within the school grounds, no one would do such a thing!" 

"Um..we don't really know that for sure," Jesse answered hesitantly.

She had a point. We didn't know Amanda's life outside of school. She never told me anything like secrets when we were friends. She did drop a few hints which led me to the conclusion that she was playing a very dangerous game but in high school when she and I stopped talking, I never knew anything about her life from that time onwards. 

She could have blackmailed people outside of school grounds. We all knew what she was capable of. She could have easily gotten her hands on something or someone's greatest ever secret and that must have led to today's events. If she could blackmail her very own school principal then she could blackmail anyone.

June10 2009:
CHAPTER 1“Wow! I caughta fish,” Jesse screamedwit...: CHAPTER 1 “ Wow! I caught a fish,” Jesse screamed with joy.  Her wide-eyed, chubby face lightened up with a big grin, with her brown ha...

CHAPTER 1

“Wow! I caught a fish,” Jesse screamed with joy.  Her wide-eyed, chubby face lightened up with a big grin, with her brown hair all curled up into a ponytail.

“In the past two hours, finally someone has caught out dinner,” Ashley joked. The grin on Jesse’s face turned in a frown; just what Ashley had expected.

Ashley was a beauty queen with her sister, Hannah, being the fashion queen. Ashley had long shoulder- length brown wavy hair and her face had freckles, one near the right eye and one on her chin. Her favorite past-time was to tease Jesse. “Come on Jess! Ashley is praising you,” Hannah said smiling. Her smile was the most beautiful. When she smiled her dark black eyes would short their lengths and her wavy blonde hair would struggle and fight to cover her eyes. Her dimples would appear and perfect in line teeth would also show up. The smallest among us was Aria and when I say smallest I mean she was very little or short. She had a strange princess aura around her and looked really gorgeous with her black hair and black eyes looking about in search of someone to join her in the conversation. And then there was me, Spencer Hastings, dark brown straight hair and two black spots in a row down my ears. 

I kept away from all of the conversations and concentrated on my fish. 

We were out for a summer camp with our school. In Rosewood it's not that hard to find a good camping place away from all the other lives, near the sea.

The five of us had decided to go fishing. Our current status was somewhat about three fishes, out of which two that caught our hooks turned out to be a  leather shoe and a pair of jeans. It all seemed like a dead body was floating and all of it's belongings were leaving it's body or simply enough that people were too naive to dump these stuff in the river without knowing the consequences.

Though it's a common practice these days, throwing dead bodies in river or ocean or sea, I wouldn't be too surprised if we actually found one floating by.

The sound of laughter brought me back to reality. I assumed that it was Amanda and her side-kicks lurking around the bushes talking non-sense.

Had they not been given brains?? 

" Wow that pair of shorts is awesome Spence. Really makes you look like a modern girl, doesn't it??" Amanda said as she came out of the bushes with Mona and Jennifer following her. They all laughed at Amanda's comment or rather they laughed at me. Amanda loves teasing me and my friends, not only us but also all the other students in our class who do not have the power to fight back. Even the teachers are scared of her. She is said to be the girl with a bad timing. The reason she has that nickname is because she appears at such a time or situation where nobody wants to be seen  and when she does appear, she starts threatening people. 

I can't believe that Mona and Jennifer can be friends with her despite the face that she teases them as well. 

She thinks she's all that Miss Beauty when she's NOTHING!! Her presence is danger to everyone and me and my friends are also scared of her. But the time she cracks jokes like this, we can't help but fight back.

"Oh! Are you maybe jealous?? Now that I have the newest Diva shorts and the trendy hot Rebecca Black top, your favorite boy Ian, might not look at you anymore!" 

The mentioning of Ian’s name was enough to shut her up. He was our basketball coach and she was having an affair with him.

The question arises now is that how did we know it??

That’s because we had just received a video from someone showing Ian and Amanda together.

The moment I finished my sentence, all of my friends started to laugh. Amanda was ready to take her leave as well as her friends were.

“They are seriously too much to deal with!!” Aria complained.

Aria was bullied by Amanda a lot in grade school. Since then Aria has despised Amanda and her guts.

“Yeah, she’s such a bi---,” Hannah was cut off by a scream.

“Isn’t that Amanda’s voice?” Jesse asked us shouting.

We all rushed back to the old building where all of the students were supposed to stay. In front of the building a large table with all sorts of food prepared by the hard work of both students as well as teachers laid. It was a ravishing site.

“What is she up to?” Ashley said not willing to take a look at Amanda’s face again.

Though I have to admit Amanda was quite a beauty. She had dark black hair which was usually made up into a ponytail and looked amazing with her blue eyes. Her fashion sense was quite an excellence point in her overall nasty behavior. Not even one day would have gone when Hannah didn’t look at her clothes with awe.

From the building and from the bushes all the students and teachers were gathering, it was a site that from a great height might have looked like ants coming out of the ant hills. In front of us laid a blood covered Amanda. Her pink lips coughing out blood.

Everyone exchanged looks with one another. Some looked terrified, some excited and some confused by the lying beauty covered in blood.

Even in death Amanda had left every one confused and terrified, (the ones excited currently are not included).

We were currently standing quite close to her. She lay a centimeter away from us but her blood had reached our body and clothes. Aria's blue denim jeans were already covered in Amanda's blood. 

"What happened here? Call the ambulance. NOW!!" Ms. Marin shouted out to all the students, though only three did what she asked us all to do. 

She came from behind and bent down to check Amanda's pulse. "She breathing!" Ms. Marin announced.

We all heaved a sigh of relief. 

All of the students were questioned about what happened.

Like everyone else we had the same answer: We heard her scream while we were enjoying our evening fishing. We ran as fast as we could in the direction of the scream and ended up here.

Ms. Marin didn't look so satisfied by our answer but what else can we say? The truth was the truth and the truth ought to be told truthfully.

She shouted to all the students to go back to their rooms.

"By the way, where are Mona and Jennifer? They were with Amanda when she left us right?" I questioned my four best friends.

" They didn't even come down after Amanda screamed so loudly," Ashley pointed out.

Ashley had always been quite observant. She always said that in a crowd of thousands she can spot Zac Affron from 100 miles distance, though we all knew that she was exaggerating her skills.

" We should tell Ms. Marin that Mona and Jennifer didn't come down," Hannah suggested.

We all agreed to do what Hannah suggested but it was sort of strange, and that was something very intelligent novel reader should have found, that there was no weapon covering Amanda. She was fully covered in blood.

We went up to Ms. Marin, who was talking on the phone with the Principal, informing him about the spicy news of Amanda DeLerauntis's death.

(Note by the author lol:I'm trying to write a book and I will be putting one chapter of it up here on weekly basis. Please do tell me if you enjoy it. It's sort of like Pretty Little Liars, more like I looove that show so I'm taking some of the character and changing the story a little. Thnx for reading!!!) 

                                           ALL ABOUT K-POP

Today I'm planning on discussing about k-pop groups.

 GIRLS GENERATION

Well the Girls are back with THE BOYS. It's an awesome dance song but when I look at the lyrics i can't help but be shocked. Girls bring the boys out? Seriously? I thought more of their fan base was females. 

 But I mean it the song's got great dancing and they even have rap in it. For the first time! And ofcourse it's their first English song so it had to be attractive and it is.

 Now let's talk about how the members look.

Taeyon - Leader, looks great in the video and even has awesome vocals.

Jessica-  Again  great vocals. 

Sunny- What's up with the hairstyle? I don't like it! 

Sooyoung- Finally she grew her hair! Looks better

Hyoyeon- Great dress but doesn't suit you cause you're not pretty.

Seohyun- Well done with the rap.

Yoona- Probably the best looking one in the group.

Tiffanny- Please look more like what you did in Run devil run.

Yuri- Great dress, well danced but didn't look great.

2NE1

New song SCREAM! Creeped me out at first but then i got used to animals talking.

I thing 2ne1 should try more complex dance because their's songs are probably the bestest ones.

SHINee

    OMG SHERLOCK! Love the MV but Taemin with long hair does not look hot but looks more like a girl. Who told him to grow soo much hair in the first place? Though i have to say well kept.

4MINUTE

Sort of freaked me out at first with red eyed hyuna and then the snake but i liked the song. Gayoon has great vocals. 

MISS A 

Touch touch! Such an amazing song with such great lyrics and dance. Min, Jia, Fei, Suzy looked really great. Loved this song. 

 SISTAR

Keep on getting famous. Great dance, great lyrics and great style. SISTAR is back with SO COOL!!

KARA

My new bestest girl group. GREAT SONG AND GREAT COMEBACK WITH STEP!! 

T-ARA

Back with lovey dovey. Great MV. Loved the dance and the song but they should learn to distribute lines properly. I mean Boram only had one line to sing in the whole song while she's really cute and short and has a great voice!!?

WELL THAT'S ALL!! I hope you all catch up the newest kpop songs QUICKLY!!

  

AKB48 vs. SNSD

So i just checked youtube and found that several people have posted videos as AKB48 vs SNSD so i just thought of posting a blog about the two groups.
1) MEMBERS

As we can see, akb48 has a large amount of members when compared with SNSD.
Being a japanese idol group akb48 offers a large amount of beauty with different members (60+ members) whereas SNSD has only 9 members but it makes it easier to remember their name.
 2) Songs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=TGbwL8kSpEk
Snsd's songs usually have a poppy tune to them and have wonderful dancing but the point is they hardly move away from LOVE!!
On the other hand akb48's songs are inspirational! the dance is not as good as snsd but thats only cause snsd members went through 4-5 years of training whereas akb48 members were auditioned for and the members used to be very young (13-22 years old when akb was formed)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQqLKCg-UgA&ob=av2e
3) Popularity
Akb48 has gained enormous popularity in japan! There singles sale is above 1 million whereas snsd's sales are not in any comparison to akb48.
4) Style
Akb48 usually dresses in skirts or sometimes in bikini's for their M/V whereas SNSD keeps on changing there style which makes the video more fun to watch!
5) M/V
Akb48's m/v usually tell a story and sometimes may even make you cry whereas snsd's m/v consists of great dance and song.
Thats all! I personally love akb48 more than SNSD but i think we should not compare the two groups as both of them have completely different music and one is from korea(snsd) and another is from japan (akb48).
