Who Killed Who?

Amanda

The first kill. My hands are clammy, shaking with fear. My stomach feels like I am on a roller coaster, churning, and spinning with no direction. Who is it? Do I know them?

I sit down on the couch, squished in between Olivia and India. I look at India. Her face is painted on, calm. Olivia doesn't have nearly as good of a poker face. She looks like she could be sick any second.

I've seen this show before. The first kill is always the worst.

We all stay silent, waiting for Alex to continue. He doesn't.

He just stands there, like a deer in headlights. His calm and arrogant expression is traded in for fear and sickness. He uses up the last of his dignity to sit down on the couch.

I watch him as he whispers to Xander for a long time. Eventually, Xander stands up. Xander looks more composed than Alex. His face is straight as he begins his mini speech.

"So, as Alex has told us. There has been a death. Amanda is dead. " I look over to Meredith, Alexa, and Taylor. They all have tears welled in their eyes. "Alex found her in the bathroom, lying on the floor. As of now, the cause of death is poison, telling by her skin is blue..." Xander won't look anyone in the eyes, obviously disgusted. "Where the poison came from, I do not know. We will have to wait for the autopsy to come in."

Xander sits back down. Slowly, we all get up and leave.

Just as I am about to join Olivia and India, who are currently heading back to the theatre, when the house phone starts to ring. In previous seasons, the phone only rang when the autopsy came in.

I pick up the phone, everyone slowly crowding around me.

"Hello Hailey. "

"How do you know I'm Hailey?"

"Look up," I follow the voices instructions. Right above me is a camera. Of course, this is a t.v show.

"Okay... What do you need?" I ask.

"Well Hailey. This season of Who Killed Who? is a little special. We are going to have a room with a lock for the winners of the challenges. Our first challenge will be tomorrow. Tell the contestants to wear sporty attire. Remember, the winner gets A WHOLE ROOM all to themselves. Ok Hailey, bye."

They hang up.

The second I set down the phone, everybody starts to ask millions of questions.

"SHUUUUTTTT UPPPPPP! If you want to know what happened, be quiet." They all stop.

"So, the first competition is tomorrow, but things are a little different this season. The winner, unlike previous years, where they got a "don't murder me" card, now you get your own bedroom. With a door that locks." As I say this, they all cheer. "Oh, and by the way, wear sporty clothes tomorrow. Kk?"

I leave with Olivia and India, to the theatre.

"Is that all they said?" Olivia immediately asks me, as soon as we are out of sight of the rest of the contestants.

"Yeah, is that it?" India adds.

"Ya, why?" My voice is high. It sounds like I'm lying, but I'm not.

Olivia playfully tackles me into the mess of cozy chairs.

"What do you know Hailstorm?" I smirk.

"Nothing! I swear!" I let her take me down, sighing in relaxation when my back hits the cozy chairs.

"Are you sure Hailey? You know you can trust us." India looks concerned, untrusting.

I nod.

"I swear," my smile disappears. I look them both in the eye. India nods.

We stay silent for a moment.

"Awkward!" Olivia sing songs, before suggesting watching a movie.

Seconds before we start the movie, a head pops out from the open door. Kaylee.

"Sorry guys! Mind if I steal Hailey?" I hide a frown. Olivia mouths dumb girls to me, and India holds back a smirk.

"Yeah no problem!" Olivia smiles. Kaylee takes me outside to the living room, pulling me over to the remains of the dumb girls. They all have a depressing aura to them.

"So, we've decided to host a funeral for Amanda..." Kaylee frowns like a puppy. They explain their plans, talking more about decorations, than Amanda. They just want an excuse to decorate the mansion.

"Okay," I reply. "When should we host it?"

"Tonight?" Kaylee replies, her voice high. I walk away when the phone rings again. This time, Alexa picks it up. She makes small talk, saying things like "uh huh" and "okay".

Eventually, she puts down the phone. We all look at her in anticipation.

"Well?" We all ask in unison.

Alexa lets out a small sob and explains.

"The autopsy came in,"
