Amelié felt overwhelmed by the whole situation and knew that she needed help from outside. She decided to talk to Rue and Maddy in the hope that they could help her uncover Molly's true intentions.

After school, Amelié called Rue and asked her to meet her in the park. Rue immediately agreed and came as fast as she could.

„Hey, Amelié," Rue said as they sat down on a bench in the park. „What's going on? You sound pretty stressed on the phone."

Amelié sighed deeply and began to tell. „It's about Molly Hughes, the new girl at school. Since she's been here, she's pushed herself into my and Ashtray's life, and I feel like she's up to something. She asks strange questions and spreads rumors about Fezco."

Rue nodded attentively. „That sounds really strange. What are you up to?"

„I don't know exactly," Amelié admitted. „But I have to find out what she really wants. And I thought maybe you could help me."

Rue thought for a moment. „See, I'll help you. We need to find out what her plan is and why she does it."

Amelié felt relieved and grateful for Rue's support. „Thank you, Rue. That means a lot to me."

The next day, Amelié looked for Maddy to trust her as well. She found her in the cafeteria and sat down with her.

„Maddy, I have to talk to you about something important," Amelié began after they sat down.

Maddy looked at her curiously. „Sure, what is it about?"

Amelié told her the whole story about Molly and her suspicious activities. „I need your help to find out what she's really up to," she finally said.

Maddy listened attentively and nodded. „That sounds serious. I've also heard from her and thought she was just the new, cool girl. But if she is really as sneaky as you say, we have to be careful."

„Exatly," Amelié agreed. „I wanted to ask you to keep an eye on her and let me know if you notice anything suspicious."

Maddy smiled. „Don't worry, Amelié. I will do anything to help you."

With Rue and Maddy at her side, Amelié felt strengthened. She knew that she was not alone and that they were stronger together. They spent the next few days watching Molly closely and looking for clues that could reveal her true intentions.

One evening, when Amelié was sitting in her room thinking about the events, she received a message from Maddy. „Let's meet tomorrow morning. I found out something."

Amelié felt her heart beating faster. Finally, she could get closer to the truth. She answered quickly and then went to bed, curious about what the next day would bring.

The next morning, Amelié, Rue and Maddy met in the park. Maddy had a determined expression on her face. „I talked to a few people and found out some interesting things about Molly," she began. „It seems that she did similar things in her old school. She has spread rumors and destroyed relationships. It looks like she's playing a game where she wants to take control."

Amelié nodded slowly. „That explains a lot. But why? What does she get out of it?"

Rue answered thoughtfully. „Some people just love the chaos. Maybe she enjoys the power she gets from it."

„What are we going to do now?" Amelié asked resolutely.

Maddy smiled. „We make her expose herelfe. If she thinks she's in control, she becomes careless. We just have to wait until she makes a mistake."

With a new plan and strengthened courage, Amelié, Rue and Maddy set out to outwit Molly and bring her true intentions to light. The coming days would show whether they would be successful,

A few weeks had passed since Molly showed up at school, and despite her initial caution, Amelié had started to make friends with her. Molly seemed to have tried to gain trust, and Amelié wanted to give her a chance.

Amelié was on her way to her next class one day when she saw Molly and Ashtray standing together in a corner of the schoolyard. They seemed to talk intensely, but Amelié didn't think anything about it. Molly and Ashtray had also become friends in recent weeks, and Amelié had tried to ignore the jealousy that sometimes rose in her.

Later that day, Amelié decided to look for Ashtray to go home together. When she turned around a corner, she stopped abruptly. In front of her stood Molly and Ashtray, and what she saw made her heart falter: Molly bent forward and kissed Ashtray.

For a moment, Amelié couldn't breathe. She felt paralyzed, unable to believe what she saw there. Ashtray seemed surprised and gently pushed Molly away, but the damage had already been done.

Amelié took a step back, the sound of her steps on the floor made the two look up. „Amelié, wait!" Ashtray shouted when he noticed her. He hurried towards her, but Amelié turned around and ran away, burning the tears in her eyes.

She didn't know where she was going. All she knew was that she had to be far away from this betrayal. Finally, she found herself in the park, sitting on a bench and taking a deep breath to hold back the tears.

After a few minutes, she heard footsteps and looked up. Rue and Maddy approached them, their faces drawn with concern. „Amelié, what happened?" Rue asked as she sat down next to her.

Between sobs, Amelié told them what she had seen. Rue and Maddy listened attentively, their faces became darker and darker.

„That's unbelievable," Maddy finally said. „I always knew that Molly was up to something. But that..."

Rue put a hand on Amelié's shoulder. „We are here for you, Amelié. Whatever you need."

Amelié nodded gratefully and sniffed. „Thank you. I don't know what to do."

„First you have to talk to Ashtray," Rue said gently. „He owes you an explanation."

„And we have to keep an eye on Molly," Maddy added. „It is clear that she wants more than she pretends."

Amelié felt a mixture of anger and sadness. „You are right. I need to know why this happened."

Later that evening, Amelié met with Ashtray. They faced each other, and the tension was almost tangible. „What was that, Ashtray?" asked Amelié, her voice trembling with emotions.

Ashtray looked guilty. „I'm sorry, Amelié. I didn't know Molly would kiss me. It was not my intention."

„Then why did she do it?" asked Amelié, fighting the tears.

„I don't know," Ashtray said desperately. „Maybe she wanted to separate us. But I love you, Amelié. Just you."

Amelié wanted to believe him, but the wound was fresh and painful. „We have to find out what Molly is really up to. And why she does that."

In the following days, Amelié, Rue and Maddy worked together to monitor Molly and reveal her true intentions. They found out that Molly not only wanted to cause chaos, but also had a deep envy of Amelié.

With new determination, they finally confronted Molly in a quiet moment. „Why are you doing this, Molly?" Amelié asked directly.

Molly's facade collapsed for a moment, and she looked at Amelié with a mixture of anger and despair. „Because you have everything I never had. Friends, love, recognition. I wanted to see if I could get it too."

Amelié looked at her sadly. „You could have tried honestly. Instead, you only caused pain."

Molly lowered her gaze, and it seemed as if she recognized the consequences of her actions for a moment. „I'm sorry," she whispered.

Amelié nodded slowly. „It will take time to process this. But now at least I know why."

With this realization, Amelié and her friends began to pick up the shards and continue. Molly stayed at school, but she was now more isolated than ever. Amelié realized that true friendship was based on trust and honesty, and she knew that she would never betray these values.
