Don't you just hate when when someone gets murdured but you don't know who it is but you want to seek who it is? Well the main character, Ashlyn, in this book is going through that experience. Her boyfriend, Drew (Andrew) is being accused for the murder of the school counsellor, Mrs. Rothlis. Her best friend, Keeley, is helping Ashlyn to find out who the real murdurer is. Ashlyn had a very close relationship with Mrs. Rothlis. Ashlyn always told Mrs. Rothlis everything. Ashlyn always helped Mrs. Rothlis keep her office very organized. When Ashlyn found out about her death, she was so confused she went her room and just sat there, not knowing if she was going to burst out crying or just do nothing. Well she cried so hard that she cried herself to sleep.

Ashlyn wanted to seek revenge when she found out who the murdurer was so Ashlyn and Keeley were trying to find the murdurer every single day and also helping Drew in his trial, making sure he won't get punished and go to jail for not doing anything. This quote, " I told them that I had gone to to see her about information on colleges. I thought it made sense since I'm a senior, and they seemed to buy it. Then they asked me why I hadn't kept my appointment. That freaked me. How could they know I didn't show up?"(p.76), means that Drew started taking drugs again.

One day, Ashlyn and Keeley lied to their mothers and told them that Keeley was going to sleep at Ashlyn's house and Ashlyn was going to sleep at Keeley's house. They went to Illinios and found the hall of records. That was when Ashlyn found her death certificate there. Seven days after Ashlyn died, Heather Rothlis, Mrs. Rothlis' daughter was kidnapped. Then Ashlyn found out..........
