Song: Lie- Halsey

Natalia's POV:

"But wait isn't Savannah you're friend?" He asked me.

"I know. But she was acting suspicious all night. Did she give you a drink?" I asked him.

"Yeah she did. So you're saying that she's the one who spiked our drinks?" He asked me again. Boy was he annoying. Maybe he was like that because he was hungover?

"Yes dumb ass. That's exactly what I'm saying. Both of us are heavy drinkers. We can't just get wasted off a single bottle of alcohol. But I can't be sure it was her. I need more evidence." I said to him. That was the problem. Where could I find evidence against her?

"And what evidence is that?" He asked me. He sure does ask a lot of questions.

"I don't know yet. But the first thing I'm going to do is trace down that number. That'll give us something to work with at least." His eyes lit up up with a glimmer of hope when I said 'us' as he got up to leave.

"Ryder. Act normal at school. Whoever did this wants a reaction. Don't tell your friends." I said to him. "And one more thing. If I'm tolerating you right now doesn't mean I forgive you or anything." I said before going up to my room.The tension in that room had increased so much. I heard him leave. At least that's over with. Now I have to deal with this picture. I called Riley.

"Hey Natalia." She said picking up the phone.

"I need all of you here. Right now. Don't tell or bring Savannah." I said to her.

"Why? Is everything alright?" She asked me.

"I'll tell you when you get here." I said before hanging up.

"So all of that happened." Andre said as I told them what had happened between me and Ryder last night.

"Oh my fucking god. I still can't believe you two ended up getting matching tattoos. Are you going to keep it?" Alyssa asked me.

"Of course not. I'm going to get it removed as soon as it heals." I glared at her. "Can we please focus on the matter at hand?" I said.

"Why do you suspect Savannah? I mean she's our friend for crying out loud. You can't just go blaming her." Nicole said. She was obviously not going to take this easily. Savannah was her best friend.

"Well, Nicole. Why don't you tell me why she was acting so suspicious last night? Why don't you tell me why she gave Ryder a drink last night?" I said in a challenging tone. I knew she didn't have an answer.

"Natalia's right. She just stated the facts, Nicole." Nicky said to her in an attempt to change her point of view.

"First of all, we need to find out if was really Savannah who did it. I don't think only Savannah is involved in this. There's someone else behind all of this and they're using Savannah. Do you know anyone who knows how to trace numbers and shit like that?" Andre asked me with raised eyebrows.

"Not really. But I'm pretty sure I'll find someone." I said to him.

"And what are you going to do about that picture?" Nicole asked me.

"Simple. Act like it didn't happen. People expect a reaction out of us. If we don't give them one, they'll have nothing to talk about. I've talked to Ryder about it." I said shrugging at her.
