act one / who killed bryce walker?

"𝐈'𝐌 𝐒𝐎 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐃 of you, Ty!" Nessa said as she wrapped her arms around Tyler, who was beaming with pride. He couldn't believe himself, but Nessa could. She knew that he was just as strong as her.

"Thank you!" Tyler said as he engulfed her in a hug.

"Hey, Ness." Scott said as he pushed through the sea of people. "Can I talk to you?"

"Oh, yeah." Nessa said as she squeezed Tyler's shoulder. Scott looked at him, thinking for a moment before he raised his hand up to offer Tyler a handshake. Tyler took it hesitantly, avoiding eye contact with Scott.

"You're awesome, man." Scott said to Tyler, who looked up with a smile on his face. "That takes courage."

"Thank you, Scott." Tyler said, but he was interrupted by Robby, which allowed Nessa to be comfortable walking away with Scott.

"You were amazing up there, baby." Scott whispered as they walked away from the crowds of people.

Nessa smiled as she looked up at him. "Thank you. I mean, I was scared shitless, but seeing all those people stand up...we really made a difference."

"Yeah, you did." Scott told her as he wrapped her in a quick hug, but it wasn't quick enough for Alex not to notice from across the gymnasium. Of course, nothing would have been quick enough for that, considering Alex had his eyes pinned on Nessa ever since the assembly had ended.

"I can't believe it about Justin." Scott said as he sighed. "Shit is fucked up."

"I know." Nessa said sadly. "I can't believe it either. I gotta go check on him, see you later?"

"Of course." Scott said as he squeezed her hand. "Go check on your boy."

They were getting really bad at this whole secret relationship thing, Nessa decided as she walked away, making a beeline toward Justin. But, before she got to him, the doors to the gymnasium opened, revealing Sheriff Diaz and some other deputies.

Nessa jogged over to her friends, stepping in line right beside Jessica.

"Clay Jensen, I have a warrant for your arrest for the murder of Bryce Walker."

"What the hell?" Nessa whispered as Alex and Zach joined the group of friends, panicked expressions on their faces.

"You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." the sheriff said as he put handcuffs on Clay in front of everyone. "You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you by the court."

The sheriff put a harsh hand on Clay as he led him out. Justin tried to go after him, but he was pulled back by Jessica.

"What the fuck do we do now?" Nessa whispered, but she got no response, because nobody knew.
