Harley and Cordelia were on their way to swim club when they saw Daisy and the detective.

Cordelia: DAISY!

Cordelia rushed over to Daisy and gave her a tight hug.

Daisy: come on Delia, you know I'm not a hugger.

Cordelia: oh, sorry I um ,forgot.

Harley: so how was prison?

Daisy: shit.

Cordelia: what happened?

Daisy told them all about her time in prison.

Cordelia: that's disgusting.

Daisy: I know.

Daisy: hey, where's Winter?

Harley: she was sick at lunch, you know how she hates Bologna.

Daisy: ugh I hate Bologna day.

Cordelia: don't we all.

Harley: So, Daisy, are you coming for swimming? We've got the county finals next week.

Daisy: Harl, I'd love to, but today's been pretty rough, I hope that you understand.

Harley: oh, um ok. See ya.

Cordelia: bye Daisy, see ya tomorrow .

*The next gay day*

Daisy went outside of her shabby apartment and sat on the step, she lit herself a cigarette and watched the sun rise. When she finished smoking she went inside and got dressed for school.

8:15am

Winter, Harley and Cordelia were waiting for Daisy by her locker.

Winter: DAISY!!!

Winter gave Daisy a tight hug and sobbed.

Winter: Cordelia told me everything that happened yesterday, I can't believe someone would do that to you.

Daisy: Awe Winnie, don't cry...

Daisy lifted Winter's chin up, she wiped a tear from Winter's eye.

Daisy: ... I'm okay now.

Winter: sorry, ugh, I'm so sensitive.

Daisy: no Winnie you're not sensitive. You're just a caring friend.

Winter and Daisy hugged for a long time.

There was an announcement.

P: Could Daisy Grigg, Winter Anderson, Cordelia Foxx, Harley Brown, Kit Walker and Rain Walker please report to the principle's office, thank you.

They exchanged looks and shrugged. The four girls headed off to the principal's office, in the room there was, the detective, the principal, Rain and Kit.

Principal: Take a seat.

They all sat down.

Detective: Did any of you know that Miss Evergreen was suicidal?

Winter: What, Clover, no, she was so happy.

Cordelia: I never suspected it.

Harley: I did.

Everyone turned to Harley.

Harley I'll explain.

Harley: it was November 20th 2017...

*Harley's flashback*

Clover knocked on Harley's bedroom door.

Clover: HARLEY! OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR NOW!

Harley got up and unlocked the door, rain was pouring down, Clover was crying, mascara ran down her face, she was soaked.

Harley: oh god, Clover...

Clover ran into the room crying.

Harley: Clover, what the devil happened to you?

Clover: I wanna kill myself.

Harley: now why would you do that, Clover?

Clover: they think I did it.

Harley: whom?

Clover: my mum and my stepdad. I'm so sick of their bullshit, so I wrote a note saying that I went to jump off a bridge, so I thought I could stay at yours.

Harley: you faked your suicide?

Clover: ...

Harley: Clover, you've been taking drugs again.

Clover: ...

Harley: Clover, you need to stop this addiction...

*End of flashback*
