The group continues their act of pretending to be divided. Ava sits alone on a bench, scrolling through her phone. Liam and Mason stand near the lockers, pretending to argue, while Sophia and Ella sit at opposite ends of the cafeteria, avoiding each other’s gaze.
The tension in the air is palpable, and it doesn’t go unnoticed by their classmates.
Random Student 1: (Whispering) Did you see them? They’re not even talking to each other anymore.
Random Student 2: (Nods) I heard something went down between them last night.
Random Student 1: (Curious) What could it be?

As the group’s performance continues, Ava walks past Sophia, deliberately bumping into her shoulder.
Sophia (💎): (Loudly, for show) Watch it, Ava.
Ava (🌟): (Coldly) Maybe you should watch where you’re going.
Liam (🔥): (Appears, playing along) Can you two stop? This is why no one trusts us anymore.
Ella (🌙): (Walking by) Trust? Coming from you, Liam? That’s rich.
Mason (🎯): (Steps in, pretending to mediate) Okay, that’s enough. This isn’t helping anyone.
Their argument draws attention from other students and teachers, just as they’d planned. They scatter in different directions, each subtly glancing around to see if their mysterious tormentor is watching.

Ava (🌟): Did anyone notice anything?
Sophia (💎): No, but people are definitely buying our act. Half the school thinks we’re done as friends.
Liam (🔥): Good. Now we wait and see if Anonymous makes a move.
Ella (🌙): They have to. They won’t be able to resist.
Mason (🎯): Stay sharp. If they slip up, we need to be ready to catch them.

Time: 8:00 PM

The group gathers in secret at Liam’s house to regroup and discuss their next move.
Mason (🎯): (Pacing) It’s only been a day, but this fake fight thing is exhausting.
Ava (🌟): (Nods) Tell me about it. I hate pretending to be mad at you guys.
Ella (🌙): (Smirks) I don’t know, you were pretty convincing earlier, Ava.
Sophia (💎): (Serious) Jokes aside, do we even know what we’re looking for? How do we know when they’ll show their hand?
Liam (🔥): (Thoughtful) They’re watching us. That much is clear. We just have to keep the pressure on until they slip.
Suddenly, all their phones buzz at the same time.

"Nice performance today. But you’re not as clever as you think. Secrets have a way of surfacing… even the ones you’ve buried deep. Watch your backs."

Ella (🌙): (Alarmed) How did they know we were acting?
Mason (🎯): (Angrily) They’re closer than we thought. This isn’t just some random person—they’re in our circle.
Ava (🌟): (Resolute) Then we need to flush them out. Let’s turn up the heat.
Sophia (💎): (Confused) What do you mean?
Ava (🌟): (Smiling slightly) If they think they know everything, let’s give them a secret to chase—a fake one.

Location: School Auditorium – The Next Day
Time: 2:00 PM

The group puts their new plan into motion. During a staged argument in the auditorium, Ava dramatically accuses Sophia of hiding something from the rest of them.
Ava (🌟): (Loudly) Just admit it, Sophia. You’re the one keeping secrets from all of us!
Sophia (💎): (Angrily) What are you even talking about? I have nothing to hide!
Liam (🔥): (Playing along) That’s what someone with something to hide would say.
Ella (🌙): (Stepping in) Stop it, all of you! This isn’t helping.
Mason (🎯): (Pretending to be exasperated) Maybe we should just tell everyone what we know.
Their voices echo through the empty auditorium, but they know someone is listening. They exchange subtle glances, waiting to see if Anonymous takes the bait.

A new message appears, and this time it’s different.
Anonymous Message:
"So Sophia has secrets too. Let’s see how long she can keep them hidden."
Ava (🌟): (Smirking at her phone) Gotcha.
Mason (🎯): It’s working. They’re taking the bait.
Liam (🔥): Now we just need to push them over the edge.
Ella (🌙): Careful, guys. If we’re not careful, they might strike back harder.
Sophia (💎): (Nervously) What if they start making stuff up?
Ava (🌟): Then we’ll handle it. Together. No matter what.

The camera pans to a shadowy figure typing furiously on a laptop. Their face is obscured, but their voice is cold and calculating.
Anonymous Figure: (To themselves) Let’s see how far you’ll go to protect each other. Because when it all comes crashing down, I’ll be there to watch.
