Alicia ran hard, but he was close upon her. Alicia was incapable of speed, and he was close. She darted into the alley. Alicia was trapped. She was in his hands now. He gripped her thin arm, and hurled her against the wall. Alicia groaned. He bent down and said in harsh whisper, "Goodbye, Alicia." But then, she heard another voice. It was the voice of her boyfriend, Josh. "Cam! Stop. Leave her alone." Alicia saw a blur of action. Cam rushed at Josh. "Ehmagawd, Alicia?" It was Massie. She knelt down beside her, in tears.
Alicia couldn't talk. Her head was on fire, and she felt numb. Why would Cam hurt her like this. The last thing she saw was Cam coming at her with a knife, and then everything went black.

Dylan and Olivia Ryan were laughing and talking to each other. Dylan pushed away a bouncy red curl. Ever since Alicia had betrayed her, Dylan and Olivia had become friends. Now, Dylan hated Massie and Olivia hated Alicia. Olivia was stunningly gorgeous. She was wearing a Lauren Moffat dress, and skinny gray Citizens. Dylan was wearing an ivory cami, and a brown suede mini. Sensible yet to cute. Dylan leaned back on the white leather couch. "I just love that we made Alicia's life miserable, don't you? And Massie's." Olivia nodded, but she seemed kind of sad.
Alicia had been her only friend, but now thins had changed. Alicia had finally rejected her for Massie. And that hurt far worse than anything she could have dreamed of. Dylan read her thoughts. "Forget, Livs. We'll punish her for being such a nasty snob." For some absurd reason she didn't want to pay Alicia back. She wanted Alicia to come back to her.
Dylan reached for a chocolate. She was a size 2, but could easily bring it back to a size 4 or 6. But Olivia knew better than to remind her of that. Dylan would dump her faster than she had let go of Layne in the 10th grade. And Olivia knew that. Dylan whispered, "I can't believe-"
You're gonna be a shining star
With fancy clothes, and fancy ca-ars
And then you see, you're gonna go far
Cuz everyone knows just who you are-are.
So live your life
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay. Instead of chasing that paper
Just live your lifeā¦
"Hullo?" Dylan cut of T.I and Rihanna's song, Live Your Life. "Hey, Dylan? It's me Massie Block." Dylan cringed. "What do you want?" Her voice came out cold and flat. Massie sobbed, "Alicia's had an accident. She's in the hospital, dying. Come-" A piercing scream echoed in the background as the line went dead. "Oh!" Dylan hung up the phone in frustration. What was going on? Was Alicia really dying? What happened to Massie? All these questions echoed through her brain.
Will Dylan ever find an answer?
