Emma: Hey bro, are you feeling unwell?

Eric: No, maybe?

Emma: You seem a little pale. Are you really not sick?

Eric: No, I don’t feel ill or look ill.

Emma: Okay, I just wanted to check in on you.

Eric: By any chance, is your friend Caroline currently seeing someone?

Emma (confused): No, why do you ask?

Eric: Please don’t be mad at me, but I have feelings for her.

Emma: You have feelings for Caroline?

Eric: Yes, I really like her, but if she’s not with anyone, do you think I could have a chance to go out with her?

Emma: From what I know, she’s not seeing anyone.

Eric: What about the guy who constantly waits for her at the front gate?

Emma: Oh, that’s her older brother. She hardly sees him since he’s often in and out. So Caroline has no idea what kind of employment her brother does. Even when she asked him, his brother continued to deny it.

Eric: Ah, I assumed that was her boyfriend.

Emma: Don't tell me you were jealous of him?

Eric: Jealous? Me? Well, I’ll admit I was a bit jealous because I can’t deny that he’s good-looking, just like me.

Emma: Ok weirdo. When do you plan to ask her out?

Eric: I plan to ask her out tomorrow morning, but I’ll message her tonight to meet at the front gate.

Emma: Why the front gate?

Eric: Because it would be better to meet there early before anyone else shows up.

Emma: Oh.

Eric: Yeah!

[They heard a honk; it was their parents. They both went to their parents' car and left.]

Sofie (thought): So Eric has feelings for Caroline? I suspected he liked me. I thought we were becoming closer than ever. No, this cannot be happening. No, this can't be true. I need to stop this romance from happening. But how can I do that? It could be dangerous, but I could hack her Instagram account and impersonate her. This is a great plan, but how can I pull it off?

[Sofie runs back to school and catches someone in the computer lab. She pleaded with the student to hack into this person's account and check their messages, but the student questioned her motives. In frustration, Sofie grabbed the student and shouted that she needed to do this to stop her crush from going out with someone else. The student promised to help her in exchange for compensation, and Sofie agreed to pay. The student managed to hack the person's messages, allowing Sofie to read the entire conversation.]

Phone messaging

Eric: Hi Caroline, I have something to tell you tomorrow.

Caroline: Hi, Eric. What do you want to tell me?

Eric: I can only tell you at the front gate before school begins.

Caroline: How early do you want me to arrive?

Eric: Since school starts at 8am, please come an hour early. Goodnight!

Caroline: Okay, I will be there. Goodnight!

End of the phone messaging

Student: Are you glad you received your proof? What will you do about it?

Sofie: Shh, I plan to meet Eric and act like Caroline said something, which would break Eric's heart. Then, I’ll spread false rumors about her and join her friend group without raising any suspicion.

Student: Isn’t that a little cruel, hurting someone’s feelings?

Sofie: I can do whatever I need to achieve my goals, alright.

Student: Okay, so where is my compensation?

[Sofie opens her bag and hands the student the money she promised. The student thanks her, picks up her backpack, and leaves the computer on while Sofie looks through the chat to find Eric’s phone number. She saves Eric’s number and sends him a text pretending to be Caroline.]

[The next morning, Caroline woke up quite late and hurried to the front gate, but it was already too late. She sees Eric and Sofie sharing a kiss, and Caroline begins to cry as she walks past them. Sofie notices this and smirks, while Eric has a sad expression on his face. Rumors about Caroline began to circulate at school. Her friends turned their backs on her, leaving Caroline alone. After hearing the rumors, Caroline’s older brother stopped picking her up from school. Jessie’s older sister became very busy with her studies, so whenever Jessie saw her sister in the hallway, she would run away, leaving Jessie puzzled. Months later, Eric ended his relationship with Sofie, and then he vanished without a word, causing concern for Emma. Sofie, trying hard, joins Jessie’s group. Caroline started misbehaving and stopped attending school for several months.]

(End of flashback)

Caroline: You've heard my side of my story. Now, let’s find out who the true monster is.

[Jessie, Jenny, Emma, Stephanie, Luna, and Olivia looked at Sofie and stared at her.]
