ONE MORE UPDATE Then I gotta get back to studying --------- This is so hard... Amanda, I like, scratch that, love her, but same goes to Maggie. I heard footsteps in the back of the school, so I hurried over to see who it was. What I would've least expected was to turn around that corner, and see Blake making a "move" on Rachel. "Blake? Rachel?" I called out. They both turned over, in shock. "RYDER?!" Rachel cried. I huffed. "Blake, this is not cool." "Dude, Ryder.. You have Maggie. Can't I have my woman of choice?" "You do know Amanda never spreads rumors, right?" Blake gave me a death glare. "So you've heard. And yes she did!" "Ever thought of Nadia?" I shot back. Don't know why I said that. It just irritated me. "She's trying to ruin Amanda's life." Blake's expression soften. "I never thought of that..." "Blake?" Rachel squeaked. "I need to say sorry. Maybe she'll take me back then." I suddenly realized what I've done. I dashed in front of Blake, blocking him. "Um.. You can't do that." I tried to think of a reason. "Amanda.. Uh.. Um.. She.. Uh... Hates you now." I made up an horrible excuse. Just perfect. Blake scrunched his eyebrows. "I know what you're doing Lynn. I won't apologize if you promise me one thing." "What?" "Don't tell a soul about me and Rachel." Great. I have to deal with that too. ••• Keely's POV Ugh. That bitch is back. "Keely. I see you've come." A figure emerged from the shadows. "Yup. Anything to ruin that bitch." "Excellent." The figure had shown itself. "Nadia?" She smirked. "Wouldn't expect it to be me, no? Yes?" I shivered. "No." She rubbed her hands together. "I have a plan to get rid of the bitch. Once and for all." ••• Amanda's POV I walked home. Ryder accompanied me. "Amanda.. Are you okay?" He asked. I looked at him, softly. "I don't know Ryder.." He nodded, like he understood. The light turned green, so me and Ryder walked. "Amanda, watch out!" Somebody pushed me onto the curb. I looked behind me. "Ryder?" "I'm right here." I searched, and I saw him sitting at the trunk of the tree. I sat down next to him. "What happened?" "Car." "Oh. Thanks." I stood up, held out my arm, and hugged Ryder. He hugged me back. "Amanda..? I think somebody's lying on the street." He said, pulling away. I looked at it. The car was gone, but a lady lied in the middle of the street. I rushed over to her. Blood was pouring out of her mouth. I checked her pulse, and gasped. Nothing. I feel nothing. "Amanda.. What happened?" "She's dead, Ryder." "Call the cops!" I pulled out my phone and dialed 911. "Hello, how may I help you?" A friendly, cherry voice said. "Hello. So we were walking home and this car came out of nowhere and it almost hit us but then my friend pushed me onto the sidewalk but it hit this other lady and now she's dead." "Very well. Location?" "87th, Powell. NE. Court." "Be right there miss." I hung up and immediately started crying. "Amanda? You know it's not your fault." Ryder patted my head. I shook my head and continued crying. After about 2 minutes I heard sirens wailing. ••• Ryder's POV It's been a week. No sign, no information about the lady. Good news. I know who to chose. Want me to tell you? I'm choosing... ------------ SHAN HELPED, OBVIOUSLY. Dedication to Cindy. She's been bugging me to put a death in Me hopes you likes it! Oh, and one more thing. Who do you think was in the car?
