The girls walked out of the gym in shock after what happened. "That did not just happen." Noa said, "I've never ever seen a dead body before, except online." Mouse stated.
"The sound it wasn't like in the movies." Tabby said softly. "Her bones..."
"Imogen, what the hell happened?" Faran asked, stopping the group as they faced Imogen, "What did you see?" Josie asked in a soft tone
"I don't know, um... I saw Karen up in the rafters." She told them. "So did we." Mouse said "She had a bucket." Imogen told the girls. "Like in Carrie?" Tabby said.
"And there was someone else up there with her, a man in a mask. He pushed her." Imogen explained. "A mask like from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre?" Tabby questioned. "I've seen that dude." Noa nodded. "Same." Faran looked at them. "The text we all got from A." "One bully down." Tabby started. "Karen. It has to be." "She didn't fall." Imogen stated, touching the blood on her arm. "She was murdered."
The girls shared looks, before deciding to go home.

Josie walked home in the dark. She was lost in her thoughts. She finally made it home and immediately opened the door and quickly closed it.
After she turned around she saw her mom walking to her, "Baby what happened at school. I just got an email." Cameron said frantically.
"Um, a girl..." she said softly, before looking down, Josie looked up and immediately hugged her mom. Cameron sighed as she held her daughter tightly. She immediately remembered what happened when she was younger
"I'm just gonna go get ready for bed, ok." Josie said pulling away from her mom Cameron smiled softly, "Of course." she said before kissing her daughter's forehead.

Josie sighed and went to her bathroom. She washed her face and put her hair into a ponytail. She then got changed in some pajama pants and a random baby tee. She grabbed her laptop and got in bed. Immediately a group call popped up and she answered.
"Maybe we should tell Karen's dad." Imogen suggested. "The Sheriff?" Noa said. "No." "I'm with Noa." Faran said. "The text from A was a warning to keep our mouths shut. Whatever the fuck A is."
"The guy in the mask that Imogen saw." Tabby said, "That we've all seen." "You guys... what if Karen didn't frame us?" Imogen asked.
"What do you mean?" Josie asked as she played with the ends of her hair. "I mean, we assumed Karen put the razor blades in her shoes, the rat in her bag, but... what if she didn't?" Imogen explained, "What if A put the razor blades in the shoes, knowing we'd get back at Karen?"
"So A has been messing with us from the beginning?" Mouse said in a confused voice.
"No. No." Faran quickly dismissed, "Karen was a bully, just like the text from A said. Imogen, you saw her up in the rafters with a bucket, and when Sheriff Beasley and the cops find it up there, they'll assume that, Karen was pulling to pull a Carrie on you, and she fell. That it was an accident."
