Dahra was sitting at a lunch table with Diana. She was a little overwhelmed, as she had always been a nobody, but here she was, sitting with Diana, the centre of attention. She shuffled her salad around her plate. Dahra didn't feel hungry that day, she felt a little sick. She knew what Taylor was doing, and she knew that if she told anyone, especially Diana, Taylor would do something to her. She didn't think Taylor was a bad person – that wasn't it. It was more like Taylor just needed to feel equal, even above everyone else, and that wasn't the case.
'I've heard her sometimes, talking to Dekka. They think I'm asleep, but I listen. It was Dekka who hacked into Lana's account, but only because Taylor asked – no, told her to. But I know Dekka also doesn't like her roommate. Anyway, they were planning to do something – to get back at you for something, I don't know. I also sometimes hear Taylor mentioning something about 'bars'. Like, in her sleep, she says things like 'he's a two bar'. I don't know what that is, maybe you do.'
Diana listening carefully, and at the end, nodded. 'Yes, I do. Hey Dahra, could you carry on listening out for what Taylor says? And, try not to get caught, because then she won't talk in front of you anymore.'
Dahra agreed, but not because Diana had suggested the idea. Dahra listened to everyone, because they all trusted her with their secrets. And now she was betraying their trust, by telling Diana secrets because it meant she had a friend. A 'popular' friend. Since when had Dahra cared about popularity anyway?
Brianna was alone in her room with Dekka, as Lana was talking to Jack.
'Who would have hacked Lana's account, Dekka?'
Dekka looked uncormfortable.
'Someone who wants to get back at Lana, maybe?' replied Dekka.
Brianna rolled her eyes. 'We got that far, genius.'
Dekka had mixed feelings. She didn't know if she should drop a hint about Taylor or not. In the end, she decided to give Brianna a clue.
'Hey, Brianna? I've got an idea.' Brianna turned around, interested. 'Why don't you get Jack to track the login times on Lana's account? Then we could see who was using the computer at that time, and get closer to catching the person!'
'That's a really good idea, Dekka! I'm going to go and tell Jack and Lana. See you later!'
Dekka watched as Brianna let the room. God, she loved Brianna. She hoped that they caught Taylor and she was left out of it.
