(FEATURED) It's been months since the unceremonious fall of Kimie Sato's older sister. The whole of Ridgerock High knows it, and by now, the majority have moved on. But Kimie still watches those who had a hand in it continue to walk free, and the more she observes, the angrier she gets. Fueled by a thirst for revenge, she decides she's had enough and goes after them, one by one. Her plan is simple: Revive her sister's old blog, spy on the culprits for their juiciest secrets, and air them out. Give them a taste of their own medicine. But then one of her targets turns up dead, and fellow animation club member (and longtime crush), West, gets in on her plan. As she struggles to see her plan through to the end, remain anonymous, and fight her growing affection for multiple boys, she realizes she's not the only player in the game she's created. And her opponent may not mind her being dead. CW: violence, mental illness, brief mention of cancer.

When Olivia Parker is found dead at a high school party gone wrong, it seems obvious who her killer was. Wesley Owens was found next to her covered in blood. Obviously, he did it. The question was why. With the entire senior class attending the end of the year bash, it shouldn't have been that simple to get away with the crime. There had to be witnesses and alibis, especially in the tight-knit friend group found at the scene. Now, with the eyes of everyone on them, the group has to pick up their broken pieces and figure out what actually happened that night before one of them gets falsely accused. With each step closer to the truth, the friends start to get more and more hesitant to reveal the truth and start to realize no one seems to be innocent. (Featured on Wattpad Picks twice!) (Shortlisted for the 2018 Wattys!) In the process of a rewrite!
