Bailey's POV

"Wait, wait, wait. Hold the phone and give it to me for a minute," Andrew rambled.

I tilted my head to the side, "What is it?"

"So to make everything a bit more clear, in first grade Dixey was friends with the seven dead girls. The girls then started to be mean to you and bullied you. Then Bailey was starting to get bullied and you stood up for her?" Andrew tried to clear up.

"That is correct, yes," Dixey agreed.

We were still in the forest, now sitting in a circle so everyone could hear our past. The best part about this whole thing is that they haven't asked how on earth I got here in the first place.

Amanda cleared her throat," So then once seventh grade hit, the seven girls and the both of you were suddenly friends again? Doesn't that seem a bit off to you?"

"Of course, but we were being talked to by the most popular girls in the school, we weren't about to question it," I said.

"Alright, but then you said that they were excluding Bailey suddenly, didn't that set off a couple of alarms in your brains?" Shyla pointed out.

"Yeah, that was questioned quite a lot, but it only ever happened once a week, then things would be back to normal," I said.

"But every week she would come to 5th hour and have new injuries. I kept telling her that she need to tell me who was doing this to her, but she wouldn't tell," Dixey said, giving me a glare.

I gave her a shove and a weak smile.

"And Dixey, about the whole negative thoughts thing?" Andrew questioned.

I saw Dixey shrink a little, her bright behavior dropping within a second. It was a touchy subject for her to talk about, even to me. Whenever I would bring it up for her to talk about it, she would always bush it off and talk about something else. It would always e somehting that I liked, something that I enjoyed talking about so I would feel better. She's so selfless that it scares me.

"Don't worry about it right now guys. Everything is fine," Dixey said, putting on her fake smile. But it was enough for everyone else.

"Wait a minute!" Amanda hollard.

She turned her backpack around to open it and pulled out an envelope. She continued to open it and took out the information they have received in the crime scenes. All seven photographs along with any other photos Shyla took. Amanda then took out Wendy's set of pictures and put the photo of Dixey and Wendy playing with the taser.

"Did you take this picture, Bailey?" Amanda finished.

I chuckled a bit, "Yes, I did. It was right before Wendy shocked Dixey, to. It was good timing if you ask me."

Amanda flipped the photo over and showed the word 'give'. Amanda did the same thing for all of the other photos.

"These words, do they mean anything to you?" Andrew asked.

Andrew grabbed each photo and tried a pattern, making it say 'I will give never for my self'.

I gave a chuckle, "All will be answered as long you guys stop interrupting," everyone sat silent as they leaned closer to here more.

Flash back, Wendy's house

Dixey's POV

I tightened the grip on my backpack as I travel to the back of the house. I climb over the gate fence thing and walk to the lawn chairs in the backyard. Wendy was there reading 'One of us is Lying'. I smile and take a seat next to her on the ground. She turned the page and put her bookmark in, turning to me with a smirk.
