"Your friend is getting her ass kicked," said Jada.

She was sitting on the right end of the sectional sofa, looking excitedly at her cell phone. Britney was on the left, her schoolbooks open on the seat next to her. As twins, they looked exactly alike, but only one of them cared about getting into college.

"What are you talking about?" Britney demanded.

Jada unplugged her earphones and high pitched shouts spilled out of the speaker and filled the emptiness of the room. Jada said, "Look. It's Hayden. On Maddie's live feed." She flipped her phone around.

Britney watched the phone screen in complete shock as the red liquid poured from Hayden's nose. Britney's heartbeat rang in her eardrums.

Marissa stirred raw cookie batter idly, her eyes on the live stream. She had been on a roll, mixing up her third batch for the school bake sale, when her phone pinged that Maddison was going live on Buddypage. The whisk had slowed significantly in her hand, becoming a mere idle action as she soaked in everything happening at Kelly's fire pit.

---

Wendy jogged over to her friend Candace on the track. Candace was in the middle of a leg stretch when Wendy shoved the screen in her face.

---

Peter showed his phone to Greg, Brian, and Toby in the locker room.

---

Jessica watched with her boyfriend, Kevin, while they waited for their food in a drive through.

---

Hayden was stunned at herself. She didn't mean to shove Kelly down, she just meant for her to back up. Couldn't Kelly see how close Hayden was to the fire? It was an accident. She extended her hand to Kelly. "I'm sorry."

Kelly pushed Hayden's hand away and picked herself up. Before her feet found stability, she was already plunging into Hayden with rage.

---

"No!" Britney screamed at her phone.

Jada giggled. "She deserves it. You should have seen the start of the video. She's been trying to hook up with Lucas behind Kelly's back."

"I don't believe it. She never said anything to me about that..."

---

"Yo, Kelly can throw down," said Greg. Peter and Brian agreed.

Toby thought, but Hayden isn't even fight it back, and that was pretty uncool, but he didn't say anything. The bros thought it was lit, and he didn't want to be an oddball. He didn't cheer, though, and he figured that was a safe way to remain neutral.

---

Kelly took Hayden by surprise with her strength. Whenever her hits connected, they stung. Hayden was sure she'd have some nasty bruises. She was not a fighter, so when she tried hitting Kelly back, it was in awkward, girly swings. Hayden looked like she was trying to fight her way out of jello, rather than against another person. She was afraid and had shut her eyes without realizing how important it was for her to see where her arms were going.

With Hayden flinging about, Kelly backed away. She was small and Hayden's arms were much longer, so Kelly was sure to get hit if she continued with fists. Her legs were much longer, and so she pulled her knee up to her chest and rammed her foot right into the center of Hayden's stomach.

Hayden fell back.

---

The viewers faces were acts of horror as they watched Hayden stumble back and then fall into the fire pit. Flames enveloped her like a blanket. Her scream sent a chill to their blood. Their faces turned sheet white as the bright light of the fire glowed from their screens.

---

Marissa dropped her bowl of cookie batter. It shattered on the hard wood of her kitchen floor, batter exploded everywhere, across the room, on the counters, under the table.

---

Britney screamed. She was on her feet without even noticing, spilling the books from her lap to fall in the floor with their pages bending on the carpet. She wanted to run from the horror or toward the horror. She wanted to under this, but she also wanted to help her friend. She picked up her cell phone from the table, dialed 911 in a rush.

Then a hand swatted the phone out of her grip.

"What the hell are you doing?" Jade demanded.

---

Hayden's body was burning. Every part. When she screamed, she felt flames on her tongue. She was out of the pit, but the heat clung to her. She twisted, staggered, and screamed some more.

I'm dying, she though, oh, God, I'm dying!

---

"Stop it!" cried Maddie.

She'd dropped her phone into the bushes, where it lay in a perfect position for viewers to still see most of the scene. She ran out of frame, then came back with a hose. At this point, Hayden had stopped screaming. She was laying on the patio. Maddie let the hose go on Hayden, drowning out the fire. Smoke bellowed from her charred skin.

"Is she...." Kelly said.

"Hayd?" asked Lucas.

The other guys were in the background freaking out, but Lucas had gone to her side, grimaced at the smell of her over cooked flesh. He tried to check for a pulse, but her neck was hot enough to sting his fingers. He jerked them back, and lowered his hear toward her instead, close, but not touching. He listened for her breath. And there was none.

"I think she's dead," he announced.

Maddie cried out.

"Oh, God, oh, shit," Kelly fretted in a panic. "I didn't mean to- I didn't-"

"We're going o go to jail!" Maddie screamed.

"Shit!" Kelly looked around frantically, and then stared right into the camera on Maddie's phone. She took it up and spoke right to the viewers.

"I didn't mean to," she said, her eyes wet, tears streaming onto her lips. "I don't want to go to jail! Please..." She seemed to give the situation some though. She wiped away the tears. "I won't go to jail. If anyone says a word about this...you'll be sorry."

---

"I'm calling the cops!" Britney told Jade as she snatched up her cell once more.

"No, you're not!" Jade said, grabbing the phone. "Didn't you hear her? Do you know what she could do to us?"

"She won't do shit, she'll be in jail."

"And you'll be the person that put her there."

"She put herself there!" Britney spoke through tears and snot.

"You'll be the loser that ratted on Kelly, and I'll be the twin of the loser that ratted on Kelly. It's social suicide!"

"I don't care!"

Jade flung Britney's phone into the wall. "I care! And so will you if I tell everyone your secret..."

---

Kelly cut the live video and then tossed the phone to Maddie.

"Get rid of that video," she said. "We have work to do." She grabbed Lucas by the shirt. "Come on, help me move the body."
