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!!!)
