is!”
    Hannah sighed and turned around to face
Linda who was already holding hands with Adam. “Adam?” she
snapped.
    “Yeah, this is Adam” Linda said, as she eyed
Hannah's stained shirt.
    “Um, yeah...does Lucy know about this?”
    Linda ignored Hannah's last comment and
pointed at her shirt. “What happened to your uniform?”
    “What do you mean?” she said as she looked
down. The stain was worst than she thought. “Oh, I spilled fruit
punch on it.”
    “Hmm...” she snapped. “Well, the gang was
worried about you. I don't know why, since you're my main suspect,”
she whispered. “I'm watching you.”
    Hannah froze as Linda walked around her. She
tried not to laugh, but did anyway. “What are you talking
about?”
    “You know exactly what I’m talking
about.”
    “Um...okay?” she laughed, and then turned
serious. “Why don't you come back with me? I’m going to find Lucy
and Michael.”
    “I'm hanging out with Adam now.” Linda ran
off with Adam and Hannah couldn't help but feel worried.
    Lucy spotted Hannah walking toward them and
she felt relieved. Michael beamed as he saw she was okay. However,
he felt sad again when he realized Linda was gone.
    “Where is she?” Lucy said to Hannah.
    “Where is who?” Hannah said.
    “Linda?”
    “She was with um...Adam.”
    “The Adam?” Michael said. “He better not
be—”
    “No, he is like a big flirt. I have no idea
why she is getting involved with him. A few days ago, I needed
money for gas and he paid for it, but then he insisted to take me
out,” Hannah said.
    “He took you out?” Lucy gasped. “You went on
a date with my Adam?”
    “You guys broke up,” Hannah said. “But, I
didn't do anything with him. It was innocent. I can't ignored Adam.
I was friends with him before you two even met. I’ve known him
since kindergarten. You said it was no big deal if we all talked to
him.”
    Lucy smiled, not worried about Adam. “I
know. I’m not mad about that, but you can't date other people—”
    Michael rolled his eyes, as he felt out the
loop. “What's the big deal?”
    “I have a boyfriend,” Hannah whispered.
    “Since when?” he gasped. “How come I never
know anything?”
    “Well, he's a little older. I didn't
want anyone to know because my mom would find out. Also, it's kind
of embarrassing,” she said.
    Michael looked at Lucy as if she were crazy.
He couldn't believe Hannah was telling him that, “So, it's
true?”
    “What is true?” Hannah said as she tried to
rub the fruit punch out her shirt.
    “Linda said she saw you with him at a
bar...”
    Hannah chuckled, “Oh, gosh, she is so
annoying. She followed me there and then got super wasted. I didn't
want her to find out like that. And I know what you're going to
say... he's older ...I'm sure she told you everything by
now!”
    “Yeah, she did,” Michael said.
    “Good. I felt so guilty not telling you
guys.”
    “We should go find Linda so we can go home.
I’m freaked out being here. I still have that girl's dead image in
my head,” Lucy shivered.
    “I think we can all agree on that,” Michael
said.
    “I heard the girl who died was from the
cheerleading team. I heard the police believe it's Susie Robin,”
Hannah said. “If it is, I will cry all night. Why won't they
stop!”
    “I didn't know her too well,” Michael said.
“But, when we talked she was nice.”
    “She wasn't that nice,” Lucy said.
“But, then again I only knew her from being on the team not outside
of the school.”
    “I agree,” Hannah said as she remembered
Susie for her long blonde hair. “She wasn't too nice. She was
pretty, but not nice.”
    “Shh,” Michael snapped as he covered her
mouth. “She's dead. Don't talk about dead people like that!”
    Lucy and Hannah rolled their eyes, they
hated being fake.
     

6 | Linda’s Mistake
     
    Michael quickly swallowed down his slushy,
as Linda and Adam walked ahead of him. The mall was surprisingly
empty on a Saturday morning due to
