I was still in shock after seeing Cara with the knife in her hand, Cara who I looked at as my best friend.

A slight smile was on her face, not regretting her actions at all. Instead she seemed like she was enjoying all this chaos. Her true personality came out.

"Surprised, huh?" she teased as she played with the knife in her hand, a grin on her face.

"You didn't expect it to be me," she kept teasing. "No," I started to get louder even though I was a bit frightened of her and her weapon.

"Because I thought you were my best friend!" I was now yelling at her.

"I trusted you!" I added now with tears in my eyes. I couldn't believe that she betrayed me like that.

"Guess you shouldn't have," she said casually as if she didn't just kill her half friend group.

"But to be honest, you fell for it pretty easily." she pointed out and chuckled.

I was speechless, she was never my friend, never wanted to be, the only thought she had in the back of her mind was to kill me.

"I don't understand, why did you do all that?" I asked, but mostly I wanted to understand what it had to do with me and why she wanted me dead.

She smiled in excitement, ready to tell her master plan.

"Okay, let's start from the beginning," She announced, it seemed like she was prepared to give that speech to me, it was all a part of the plan.

"Sarah: As you know, I always hated her. She was popular, loved by everyone and got all what she wanted. Which, by the way, was another good reason why Amber was suspicious, because she was jealous of her." She started and I realized that she planned out every detail, made others look suspicious and turn each other against us.

"Another reason why I hated her was, she was always mean to me, even bullied me in middle school. I always wanted her to pay for that, to get revenge. And thanks to you I could do that."

The last sentence made absolutely no sense, why was I the reason that she got the chance to kill her.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked clueless.

"You'll find out soon, let's move on with Mason," she said, still having that same frightening look on her face.

"Mason was a perfect suspect for Sarah's killing, the desperate ex-boyfriend who just got broken up with, seeking revenge. Kind of deserved it though," she shrugged.

"You know I always had feelings for him, he was such a dream boy. But after he and Sarah became a couple, I secretly started to hate him. He knew how cruel Sarah was to me, and still decided to date her."

Cara was truly crazy, killing people out of jealousy. She only thought about herself, not how much the loss affected others. "Did you notice that the place where I killed Mason was the place where you and Cooper met?" She asked.

How could she know that? I've never told anyone that I met Cooper there. But then suddenly I came to the realization:

"I wasn't paranoid, you were following me that night,"

"That's right!" she announced.

I still couldn't believe that she was betraying me all this time, making me trust her.

"The sweet Amber, died thinking everyone hated her," she started.

"She crossed through my plans, she was supposed to be the guilty one, the one who killed everyone. But instead she found proof, that's why she had to go." She said,
