plus she didn't want to do her job so she quit.'

I was shocked and she clearly noticed that. Okay I knew that she left and that she made a cover up story about why she left but I never knew that. 'so she didn't tell you who she worked for?'

she shook her head

'nope. That question didn’t actually go into my head and so I never asked but even so I doubt she would have told me.'

this really made me curious to find out. I already knew that Rebecca had an evil job but quit and I already knew that I had suspicion about Carter and how he didn’t die during the incident with the fire at their school. Whatever it costed, I was determined to find out what Carter was hiding and who killed Lisa whatever the cost. Then another question popped through my head, before she mentioned fainting, why did she faint? 'Ruth what caused you to faint anyway?'

she sighed

'I've been having these dreams lately that seem to come true and that causes me to faint. Only when I faint I faint for days and I faint because something bad is about to happen. Someone caused me to faint, I know that. It's just I don't know who yet and that’s been getting to me'


that just made my suspicions bigger and it also made me more keen to figure all of this out 'but haven't you seen your dad in all the dreams you've had so far and whenever you've fainted?' okay stupid question but it might just help me figure out who killed Lisa

she sighed

'well not all of them. Only whenever I faint or have a dream it nearly always involves my dad even if he isn’t there'

then something hit me. If I talked to Rebecca again then it might help me solve this 'bringing the subject back to Rebecca, do you have any idea where she lives?'

Ruth looked at me and shook her head

'no...why? Your not planning on talking to her are you? Because you know that, that would make it worse.'

'no...' I lied. Okay I lied because I didn't want her finding out my plan to try and solve all of this. 'seems to me like you miss being their friends am I right?'

she hesitated and then sighed

'yeah I guess. I'm still annoyed at them though'

then another idea hit me. Oh I was on a roll today. What if I can convince the school to let us use the schools swimming pool today. Then I can convince Ruth to meet there and I’ll tell her that its just me and her to spend some time together outside the hose and then convince the others to meet up there and tell them that Ruth would not be invited. 'Ruth...'

'Lilly....'

'you know you like me...'

she rolled her eyes

'what do you want'

'I've got this brilliant idea where we try and convince the teachers to let us use the school pool today to allow us to spend some time together outside the school.'

she hesitated

'the last time I went in that pool not during school time was with Luke' she said dully

I sighed 'It's different this time. I'm your best friend not someone who wants to go out with you. Please...' I pleaded

'well I don't know...'

I was going to win this 'please....'

she sighed

'they'll never let us'

I sighed. She had a point 'well maybe we could just sneak in like you did with Luke'

she sighed

'really....' she said sarcastically

'please...'

she sighed.

'fine'

I smiled 'yay thanks. We'll have fun. I promise' now all I had to do was try and get the others to go without letting them know that Ruth was coming. 'um Ruth I promised to help the others sort stuff out downstairs so yeah. Sorry...'

she looked at me suspiciously

'okay...'

'sorry...' after I said that I rushed downstairs to find that they were still sitting down on the settee 'hey...guys'

they jumped and turned around

'Lilly you have to stop doing that'

'Lindsey's right your really good at making us jump'

'oh hey Lilly' Carter said while smiling

I looked at Ben, Lindsey and Carter and smiled and then I smiled at the others 'hey guys. Ruth has some work that she has to get finished so I though I'd come down here. Is that okay with you guys?'

Lindsey looked at me and smiled

'sure. Ben move up'

Ben rolled his eye and moved up so that I could sit down

'thanks' I said as I joined them on the settee

'so what's Ruth doing this time?'

I gave a fake sigh 'she had a dream again last night and she can't figure it out and so she's trying to figure it out' I lied. It seemed to work though

Lindsey frowned

'what was it about this time?'

I looked at Lindsey and gave another fake sigh, oh I was good at this. 'I don't know. All she said was that it could be connected to her sister's death' I lied. Mentioning Lisa might not have been the smartest thing to have said but I was determined to find out why she died.

I glanced around and I saw that Carter's smile was now replaced by a frown. That's weird.

'she didn't see who killed her did she?' Carter said in a worried voice

Why would he worry? What does he have to worry about? He wasn't involved, or was he...? all these questions were driving me insane. 'as far as I'm concerned no,' I paused and glanced at him as he sighed a sigh of relief. Or at leas what I think was a sigh of relief 'why?'

he hesitated

'no reason.'

I looked at him with a suspicious face and he noticed this

'no proper reason at least. I was just worried that if she saw that she would get scared and would end up getting herself in serious trouble or worse'

he looked at me and then the others and then glanced at his watch

'uh guys I have to...go'

huh that was even more suspicious. If he had glanced at his watch he would have looked at his watch for a longer time. He may have fooled the others but not me. 'wait...before you go I have something to ask you all.'

he glanced at his watch again

'tell me later I...really...have to go'

I narrowed my eyes in suspicion. 'can't it wait at least at minute' I pleaded

he glanced at his watch again and sighed

'fine.' he said in an annoyed voice

I smiled. 'I had this though. Seeing as Ruth will be busy trying to figure out her dream today, that maybe I could hang out with you guys. I was thinking maybe...,' I turned to Luke 'that Luke could get us into the pool at school. We could go swimming together'

Lindsey looked at me

'it's a Sunday tomorrow though'

I smiled at Lindsey 'I know but Luke's got in before,' I then tried and failed to do a sad face 'please....'

they all looked at me and then glanced at each other

'well I suppose we do need a break from here'

I smiled at Ben as he said that

'okay sure we'll go. I suppose I could sneak us in seeing as I've done it before'

I smiled at Luke 'thank you! This will be fun, I promise. We can have a Ruth free day' I couldn't help smiling. They can't see me smile to much because they'll get suspicious 'uh guys I...just need the loo. I'll be back soon,' I then looked at Carter and gave him a fake smile 'sorry I kept you waiting Carter. If your late to wherever your going, you can blame it on me'

Carter didn't say anything. He just left the building. As he did that I ran to the loo. Oh I'm good at this. As soon as I got to the loo I screamed out in joy.
Chapter Twenty-Two Mastermind Plans

Lilly

Have you ever wondered what it'd be like to loose all your friends, everyone that supports you through life. Ruth, my best friend has lost just that and I'm here to fix that. My plan is to get them all together without them knowing and so far it's working. Right now my only job is meeting Luke and the others, minus Ruth at the school gates where Luke will help us break in. then after that my job will be making an excuse to leave and then meeting Ruth at the school gates, great isn't it.

'hey guys, sorry have I kept you waiting?'

they all smiled

'nope, not at all. Are you guys ready for this? It's going to be a hard job. I've done it before but I was in the school at the time. The school is covered with alarms that collect DNA from the handles if the alarms go off so we'll have to be super careful'

I frowned at that. Oh no 'how do we get in without setting the alarms off?'

'we don't. This is why I’ve come prepared,' he paused and gave us all a black hoodie with a pair of black gloves 'wear these at all times and keep the hood up, there are security cameras around aswell so the hoodies should protect out identity’s. Wear the gloves at all times because when the alarms go off the gloves will stop it from collecting the DNA, their brand new gloves.'

I glanced at it and laughed to myself. Luke was good but he was making us look like robbers. Even so I put the stuff on. That’s when I realized that I hadn't said what I just said in my head, I said it out load.

'I agree with Ruth. All we need is the mission impossible music and we'll be all set to go' Katy joked

I went red in embarrassment wishing that I'd said it in my head.

'we may look like robbers but would you rather us get caught tomorrow by the headteacher and get in serious trouble or would you prefer to look like robbers.'

I sighed, Luke had a point. 'good point'

he smiled

'yep. Seeing as me, Sharlene and Sam are vampire we'll have the advantage here however we'll help as much as possible. First step is to break the glass in the dining room seeing as it's the closest to the pool. Follow me'

I sighed. It would be a shame to smash the glass of such a nice room but we had no choice. We followed him over a fence and towards to room, oh no this reminded me of when I had to scape the school.

'Carter you have done this before and therefore it'll be your job to find something to smash the glass with,' he then looked at me 'Lilly you go with him. Oh and Keep the gloves on!'

I looked at Luke and groaned. Then it hit me, this place was practically covered in stones. If I could just find a big enough stone then we might be able to get in. 'Carter I've got a plan but I'll need you to be patient'

he stared at me with wide eyes. He wasn't really a person for patience. I could tell that he wasn't someone for patience and plus Ruth kinda told me.

'Carter this is going to be worth it and I know that you probably don't have the patience to do this but I need you.,' I looked at him look down and I sighed 'Carter you really helped Ruth at school when it
