    SO FAR AWAY
    - Chapter 1 - Clare's POV -
    True love. Very few people know the meaning to these two words. Luckily, I'm one of those few. True love isn't snagging a date with the cutest guy in school and then having him break up with you a week later. True love isn't moving into a new town and having a guy all over you cause your new and "there's something about you." True love isn't exactly settling down for some guy in your town and staying with him because you think you're in love. True love involves fate and a whole lot of luck. Odds are the person meant for you isn't going to live down the street. The world is a big place and if your lucky and fate's on your side you may just find him; like I did.
    I never really wanted to fall in love. It wasn't part of my plan. My plan was to make the most out of life, travel the world and do things most people were too afraid to try. I've wanted to ever since I was little. It was my dream; but love would get in the way of it.
    I guess I should start at the beginning; how we met.
    "Hello California, goodbye New Hampshire." I said confidently strutting out of the LA airport sliding my new sunglasses on. "Now, we only have one week here and I want to make the best out of it. I want to see all the sights, shop, enjoy the food, meet a movie star, maybe even be an extra in a movie." I gleamed to all my friends. We were here in Califronia for our Senior Year Spring Break and all six of us chipped in for the hotel room and were bond to have the most amazing time. My friends wanted to just drive to the nearest beach but they had no sense of adventure. The world was a big place and I was dying to visit California. It was just my personality; traveling, exploring and making the best of life. "Yeah, okay. Have fun doing all those things by yourself cause we came here to relax." One of my friends Leah snapped. The rest of them all agreed with her. "You can relax at home. There's so much to do and see here, come on, please!" I begged. All of them just rolled their eyes at me as we all stuffed into a taxi van to drive over to our hotel.
    After we unpacked in our crowded hotel room of six everyone decided to hit the beach. My five friends all put out their colorful towels and layed down to sun bathe. "I'm going to go enjoy the view." I told them while snaching my camera from my bag. They totally weren't understanding the fact that we were in California; I was going to take advantage of it by seeing as many sigths as possible and taking as many chances as I get around here. I walked further on the beach to see everything and took a bunch of pictures.
    This was when I met him. You know when you just get a feeling that you need to do something but your not sure why? Well, I had a sudden craving for an icecream and personally I found that to be a sign. I walked into the jampacked icecream place filled with torists. I waited in the long line. Since I had nothing else to do I decided to look at all the pictures I had taken on the way here. My friends clearly didn't know what they were missing out on. They were laying down with their eyes closed in one of the most beautiful places I've ever been too. I paid for the ice cream I had bought and started to walk towards the beach to take some more pictures. "Excuse me, I believe you left this at the ice cream place." A attractive looking guy told me while holding up my wrislet. "Oh thank you so much." I told him sincerely. He was cute but I had no such confidence to talk to him further. I was insecure and didn't want to embarass myself. So after thanking him I continued to walk and sight see. There was this miraculous view that I just needed a picture of. I struggled to take the picture with my ice cream cone in one hand and camera in the other. I finally took a picture but it wasn't any good; so I tried again. The guy who had returned my wrislet to me tapped me on the sholders. "Need help?" he asked followed by a winning smile. I laughed, embarassed, "Yes please. Could you hold my icecream cone?" I asked. He nodded and took the cone away from me while I took the picture. "Thanks again. It's beautiful here." I admitted while taking back my ice cream. "Are you here on vacation?" he asked. I took a lick on my vanilla ice cream and answered him, "Yeah me and my friends are here for spring break. Except none of my friends are very interested in sight seeing and stuff all they want to do is relax on the beach." I admitted to him, I was overjoyed with the fact I was having a conversation with someobody like him. "How about you?" I asked. "My family came here to visit my aunt in her beach house. They're just doing family stuff; so I'm trying to sight see by myself too." This was honeslty too good to be true. This kind of stuff didn't happen to me. If things were going the way they usually did I would have ended up losing my wrislet and dropping my ice cream and wouldn't have even had contact with a cute guy. "Maybe I could tag along, if it's not too much trouble?" he asked. "No, that's no trouble at all." I said faster than I should have. "I'm Clare." I said, holding out my hand for him to shake. He shook it and said back, "Ben. Nice to meet you Clare."

    How to Solve a Murder Without Being Murdered:
    ~20~
    "I'm sorry I accused you of being a murderer." I admitted to Kyle, embarrassed. "It's fine. I don't blame you, I did seem very suspicious." he chuckled with ease. Now that I wasn't a treat to putting Bethany in harm Kyle seemed like the same Kyle I started to fall for. "So all those threats to me weren't because you were the murderer and didn't want me to figure it out? It was just because you were trying to help Bethany and Jason and didn't want me to put them in harm?" I asked, making sure I absorbed everything correctly. "Yeah. Jason and Bethany are my best friends. They've helped me through a lot. I owed them. I didn't want to see Bethany get hurt and I didn't want Jason to be hurt if they were to be a part." I nodded in approval and smiled. "What's that for?" he asked. "Oh nothing, I just think it was really nice of you to go through all of that for friendship and for your friends to have true love." He smiled back, "I'm just glad it all worked out."
    We walked outside to the balcony and gazed at the beautiful campus. "So all the clues I got meant something since you left those notes, right?" I asked. He chuckled again. "Yeah. I mean, if you knew about Amy being disowned then you would know how strict Bethany's parents were and why she had to run away. And if you knew about Jason you would figure out about them being madly in love which also caused her to run away. Of course the pregnancy was the key. The only thing you were wrong of was suspecting me of being the murderer or being a part of it." he told me. "Well, you were a part of it. Just not that way I thought."
    In the most nonchalant way, he grabbed my hand. "You're not mad at me anymore?" I asked. He shook his head, "No. I really like you Haley. I like that you're so determined and wanted to have some excitement in your life after living in that small old town for your whole life. I like that about you. You aren't like the other girls in Peachbrook who accept the fact they live in a boring old town and will live their live in dullness." I blushed at his compliments. "I like you too Kyle. I don't know the whole time I was so scared because I thought I was falling for a murderer." He chuckled again. "But in reality you were just helping a few friends. I like that about you; that you value your friendships and you do anything for the people you care about. The fact that you did all of that so your friends could live happily in love together is just so amazing." He blushed at my compliments. I liked Kyle a lot and this whole murder solving got in the way of me falling in love. I wanted to give us another chance. I was wrong about him. I knew it would be risky, what I was about to say but I was determined to be with Kyle. "So, wathcing your two best firends madly in love, doesn't that make you want love?" I asked him. He looked at me staright in the eye and answered, "Yeah, it does." Without further conversation he finally kissed me. "Maybe you can be that girl." he admitted while blushing. It was totally corny but I guess that's another thing I liked about him.
    I guess that was the best thing that came from attempting to solve this murder; Kyle. Not to mention friends for life. After we graduated high school Kyle and I both went to Penn State. We shared a dorm with Jason and Bethany and we all got really close. Bethany and Jason's baby girl; Samantha lived with us too. I finally left that small, boring old town and was out to see the world. So I guess if adventure comes calling you, go for it, you'll never know what you'll get out of it.
    The End.
    all done:) did everyone like this?!?! dont forget to read my new story; so far away that will be out tomorrow! if you want me to remind you post a comment on this chapter and i will let you know when i post the first chapter of my new story! thanks for staying with me everyone!!

    How to Solve a Murder WithoutBeing Murdered:
    ~19~
    "Bethany?!" I asked without even thinking. "Oh, I didn't know we had a visitor." she said sweetly, innocently and confused. Jason rushed to her side, grabbed the grocery bags, set them down and them held her tight. "She's alive?" I asked Kyle. He had a guilty look on his face. He looked over at Jason. He was holding Bethany tight, as if he was protecting her. "Jason, we have to tell her now." Kyle suggested. "I mean it's either that or kill her." Kyle added. The biggest look of fear crossed my face. Kyle chuckled, "I'm kidding." Jason and Bethany walked hand and hand and sat on the couch across from us. "Are you sure we can trust her?" Jason asked, twidling Bethany's hand in his. "It's not like we have a choice." Kyle responded.
    I stared back and forth at all of them. "What's going on here? You're alive? You're dead. I saw your dead body." I protested. "Why don't you tell her what happened Bethany?" Kyle suggested. Jason didn't seemed to thrilled but she ended up telling me. "I never died. Nobody killed me. It was all a set up." Bethnay told me calmly. I stared down at Kyle; he lied to me too. He didn't tell me everything he knew. "My parents aren't exactly understanding. My sister got caught doing drugs a few years back and they disowned her. They didn't want me to have a boyfriend because it would get in the way of things or something. I met Jason one day when I went out into town for something and we fell in love." Bethany started off telling me. She stared at Jason and they both smiled at each other. "We were in love. Kyle, Jason and I were best friends but we met in secret for our own reasons. So a few months back I found out I was pregnant with Jason of course. God only knows what my parents would have done if they found out. They disowned my sister for doing drugs. What would they do if I showed up pregnant? They would probably never allow me to see Jason ever again and I just can't do that. He means more to me than anything. My parents would probably make me get an abortion so I wouldn't ruin their perfect little lives; they'd probably disown me too or something even worse. I got scared, I didn't know what to do. So we thought of a plan. I could fake a murder. I know now it sounds totally crazy but when you're in love you do crazy things. So then I could run away and live with Jason and have my baby." I was in shock with everything going on. "Oh my god. Seriouslly?" I asked. Bethany, Kyle and Jason all nodded their heads in unison. "But I saw your dead body." I reminded her. "Oh, well I bought this illegal drug thing that would slow your heart beat down for a few days; it made it seem like you were dead. Kyle made sure of course I wasn't cremanted or preserved or anything. Right before my funeral Kyle took me out of my coffin and put me in Jason's car. The next day I woke up from the medicine. I know it was risky but it was the only way. I can't thank Kyle enough for doing that for me. But it was all for the safety of me, my baby and that I would be able to be with my true love." I smirked, "Unbelievable. No wonder why none of the detectives could solve your murder. That was very clever. You used like the modern version of the medicine used in Romeo and Juliet; right?" She nodded. Jason gave her a big hug, "I'm glad it all worked out."
    "You can't tell anyone I'm still alive!" Bethany begged. "I promise I won't." Jason stared at Kyle, like they were reading each other's minds. "Don't worry, she's my friend, I trust her. She means it." We talked a bit more about the whole scheme and everything. I told them my story in trying to solve the murder. I got really close; besides the fact Bethany wasn't actually murdered I had everything else. "Sorry, we have a doctor's appointment for the baby. Maybe you could join us for dinner later tongiht?" Bethany asked. I smiled at her, "I'd like that, thank you." Jason and Bethany both left leaving Kyle and I alone. As soon as they left he turned to me and said, "We need to talk."
    almost done! one more chapter that i will post by the end of the day! did you like the outcome so far?!?! dont forget to read my new story; so far away! comes out tomorrow!!

    How to Solve a Murder WithoutBeing Murdered:
    ~18~
    Kyle dragged me into the dorm. "What are you doing here, Haley?" he asked in an angry tone. I didn't answer, I was too scared; this is the second time I betrayed him, I promised him I would stop trying to solve this murder but I couldn't. We sat over on the couch, he continued to hold my wrist and not in a romantic way that I wished; he was holding me down so I didn't run away.
    "Jason this is her." Kyle directed towards Jason, the other voice I must have heard from outside the door. I gulped in fear. "What do we do?" he asked Kyle; ignoring the whole fact that I was right there. Nothing was making sense anymore; I really thought I knew who the murderer was and I honestly thought I was getting a close but now I just don't know anything. It's like all the clues I gathered don't make sense. "We could tell her." Kyle suggested. Jason slammed his fist on the nearby table, scaring me half to death. "No, are you insane?!" he shouted. "How are we going to trust her?" Jason asked Kyle. I wanted so badly for Kyle to say they could trust me. Not just because I wanted to solve Bethany's murder but because I wanted Kyle to trust me again. Of course Kyle just shrugged.
    Nothing was making any sense anymore. Why would Kyle and Jason both kill Bethany? What did she do to deserve that? Were Kyle and Jason even the killers? Of course they were; I mean didn't you hear their conversation? None of the clues were coming together but I was obviouslly getting somewhere if Kyle was concerned I was about to solve who the murderer is. This was making no sense at all. I couldn't even think because I was scared. What were Kyle and Jason going to do with me anyways? Would they kill me too?
    Suddenly the dorm door started to open up. Kyle and Jason both gave each other a terryifying look. But everything was happening so fast they couldn't do anything about it. The door slowly opened. A beautiful girl with blonde hair walked in with her hands full of grocery bags. My eyes wandered to her stomach; she was pregnant. Then I took a better look at her; the girl was Bethany. Bethany Matthews was still alive.
    OH MY GOSH!! CRAZY!!; RIGHT?!?!? sorry this chapters short; the next ones will be longerr. almost done with this story:) are you excited for more?! i promise to finish this story today; the last two chapters will be up today!!!! my new story so far away will be up tomorrow! please please make sure you read it:) thanks everyone!

    How to Solve a Murder WithoutBeing Murdered:
    ~17~
    "So you're just leaving and going to Pennsylvania?" Brianna asked. Tiffany and Brianna were over later that day helping me pack my duffle for the weekend. "I have to. None of this makes sense anymore but all I know is that Kyle is visiting Jason and I have no clue why. But those two are my main suspects. I need to go." I told them. "Fine. We'll cover for you. Just keep us updated and be careful." Tiffany assured me. "Thanks, you two are the best. The bus leaves in an hour. Keep your phones on you, okay?" They both gave me huge hugs. "Be careful, Haley." They both reminded me.
    I got off the bus later that afternoon. I walked over to the Penn State dorms. I was getting super nervous. Either Kyle or Jason was probably one of the murders. If not then at least I'd almost be positivie it was Bethany's parents. Then it hit me. Kyle left those notes when I was getting closer to soliving the murder; right? So what did Amy, Amy being disowned, Kyle's prom picture with Jason, the bus ticket to visit Jason and finding out Bethany was pregnant all tie into this? It made no sense. Unless of course Kyle was trying to throw me off guard.
    "Exucse me, I'm here to visit an old friend; Jason Fredricks." I told the receptionist. "He's in dorm 23B." she said in a grouncy tone. I took the elevator up. My heart continued to pound faster and faster while I felt the adreniline go through me. There it was; Jason's dorm. What did I do? Knock? Barge in? I didn't really plan it out. I heard voices inside and put my ear to the door. "Well she's about to find out, Jason. What do we do?" I heard a familiar voice shout; it was Kyle. "I don't know. We need to get rid of her though, nobody can know about this." someone said back. I was assuming it was Jason. "How do we get rid of her? Kill her? There's no way to get rid of her and that girl is headstrong she's not going to stop until she solves it." Kyle said again. Just then I knew for sure they were talking about me. Kyle was telling Jason how I was getting close to solving the murder and they didn't want me to. It must have meant they murdererd her; but why would both of them murder her? None of this was making sense to me. "She'll never figure it out though, just don't worry about it." I assumed Jason said back. "Oh I don't know about that, she's getting close to solving this whole thing. If she does we're dead man." I couldn't help but gasp loudly; it was almost obvious that they murdered Bethany. I had no clue why but why else would they be nervous about me discovering the murderer? Before I knew it the door flung open. Kyle was peering right at me, he must have heard me gasp. "Haley? What are you doing here? he asked in surprise. Before I could run off he grabbed me by the wrists assuring I couldn't go anywhere.
    liking how this is all coming together? feedback is wonderful and dont forget to fav!!! the end of this story will probably all up by tomorrow then don't forget to check back for my new story; so far away. thanks everyone:)

    ~16~
    "Kyle?!" I repeated in shock. "You're the murderer...?" I asked with tears in my eyes. I didn't want Kyle to be the murderer; I think I was in love with him. "Haley, I promise you I'm not." I didn't know if I should believe him or not; he was the leading suspect at the moment. "But, all the threats from the killer... they were from you?" I could feel tears starting to build up in my eyes. He couldn't be the murderer, he just couldn't. I can't believe he was the one threating me all this time. "Yes I left the treats but I'm not the murderer Haley. Look, just stop trying to figure it out and forget this whole thing, okay? It's complicated but it's for the best that you just stop now. And you have no proof that I'm the murderer. Because trust me, I'm not." I shook my head repeatidly. "But, Bethany was pregnant." He looked at me in shock. "How did you know that?" he snarled. "I looked at the records in the clinic." He gave me a digusted look. "This is none of your business Haley. Stay out of it, please." I continued to shake my head, tears started to fall from my eyes. "How could you murder your best friend?" He was getting so angry, he lifted up his hand, about to hit me; but he stopped. "I didn't kill her. Okay? Seriouslly Haley, don't go any further on this. Let it go, promise me you'll stop." I bit my lip; what if Kyle was just trying to protect me from the murderer? Clearly, if he went through all this trouble there had to be a reason. "Okay, I promise." I finally said. "You better keep that promise Haley or I swear nothing good will come out of it." he spat. With that he ran away, leaving me alone. I kind of wished he had kissed me before I left but I betrayed him, I thought he was the murderer and that ruined every chance we had at a relationship.
    I drove back home, thinking about what had just happened; thousands of questions filled my mind. Was Kyle the murderer? Was Jason? Why was Kyle threatening me to stop searching for the murderer? Why does Kyle want me to stop so badly? How did he trust that I was going to keep this promise? And most importantly; Who was Bethany's murderer?
    Early the next day I decided to go over to Kyle's house to talk things over. I needed to know more about why he was leaving those threating notes pretending to be the murderer; unless of course he wasn't pretending. When I rang the door bell his mother opened the door; "Hi, is Kyle home?" I asked. She shook her head, "He went to go visit an old friend at Penn State for the weekend." My heart stopped beating for those few seconds; Kyle was going to see Jason... but why?
    did i lose readers? cause honestly im getting a lot less favs. just wondering.. so 4 or so more chapters of this story and then its done. um, im going to try my best to get another chapter or two out today! okay thanks everyone:)

    I quickly shoved her records away; I had what I needed. It was too late I heard the footsteps coming closer. I hid behind a nearby file cabniet. Two nurses walked in. They grabbed something real quick and left without seeing me. I burst out after the coast was clear. "What'd you find?" Brianna asked curiouslly. I guess they were finally getting into this whole murder thing too. "I'll tell you with less people." I whispered.
    We went outside and walked with Tiffany to the local coffeeshop. We grabbed a booth. They both stared at me waiting for answers. "So?" Tiffany asked. I made sure nobody was around that would care; coast was clear. "Okay, Bethany was pregnant." I whispered. Brianna gasped, "She was?" I nodded. "I know. Things are finally coming together. But the strange thing was the father was listed as unknown. This either means two things; the father actually was unknown or she didn't want people to know who the father was." This time both Tiffany and Brianna gasped. "I know! No abortions or anything. But this means either her parents killed her out of anger; which is totally probable since they disowned their own daughter. Or either Kyle or Jason had something to do with this. Maybe one big love triange or some form of jealously or something. All I know is I need to go see Jason this weekend so I can finally solve this murder." Just then the waitress came by and asked for our orders. As soon as she went away Tiffany burst out, "You're not going alone. It's too dangerous." I rolled my eyes, "No, I need you two to cover for me with my parents. Stay here, please. I'm seventeen years old, I can take care of myself." They kept protesting but I made my point that I was going alone. "So, when she died she was pregnant?" Brianna asked. "Yes, defintely. It's a shame. This murderer not only killed one person, he killed two."
    Late that night I couldn't go to bed. There were too many thoughts in my head. It was only two more days 'til I was going over to Penn State to "interview" Jason. I snuck out and decided to sneak into the cemetary. When I got out of my car I heard a sound; like somebody stepping on a stick or something. Was somebody following me? Was it the murderer? It was probably all in my head. I went over to Bethany's grave and started talking to it. "Don't worry, I'm getting closer to solving you're murder. I know you were pregnant. It's okay as soon as I find out who they are they will be punished." I heard a sudden sound of footsteps running the opposite direction. I spun around and found a lined papered note on the ground. It read, 'Oh, look at you; breaking and entering. You're real close now. But don't you dare try getting any closer. Cause the closer you get to solving the murder, the closer I get to murdering you."
    I quickly stuffed the note in my pocket. The murderer was still insight of me and I wasn't going to like him or her out of my sight. Why not just figure it out now; tongiht? I started running away the murderer. It seemed almost impossible until he or she tripped. Now I was only a few feet away. I was running as fast as I possibly could. I kept telling myself this could all be over if I just caught up to the murderer. Finally I was only a foot away. I decided to pounce on him or her; tackling them to the ground. They were wearing something that covered their face. I took it off and couldn't believe my eyes; "Kyle?!"
    now just because she caught that guy running doesnt mean hes the murderer;) last chapter was supposed to be chapter14. sorry. haha. well sadly this story is practically over so my next storys name is going to be called "so far away" and yes it is a love story. but yes knowing my stories there will be more meaning to it than love. ill maybe do a quote tomorrow "about the story" its going to be really really good:)

    "What's 'it'?" Tiffany asked. Whoops, did I say that out loud. "Brianna, your mom still works at the clinic, right?" I asked. Tiffany and Brianna were both staring at me like I was insane. "Yeahh... why?" she asked suspiciouslly. "I need you to get me in there. I need to look at some old files. As soon as possible." I pleaded. "Why? What's going on?" Tiffany asked. "It could be a key clue to solving this murder, please." They both stared at each other in shock. "I thought you stopped trying to solve Bethany's murder." Tiffany told me, sounding dissapointed. "I know, I did. I tried, I really did. But everytime I try stopping I just want to solve it even more and I've gotten so far and I just need this. Please Brianna. Can you let me in?" They both started to shake their heads, "Stop before you get in too deep Haley. What about that threat from the murderer?" Brianna asked. I shook my head, "It must have been just some kind of joke or something cause I've gotten closer and I haven't recieved anymore." I lied. If I told them the truth about getting more threats they wouldn't help me and would make me stop. "I guess that makes sense, I mean it's a little far fetched." Brianna suggested. Tiffany nudged her in the arm in disapproval. "What?" Brianna snapped. "It's still dangerous, Haley." Tiffany told me sincerely. "Look, I know you want me to stop. But this is something I really want and I think as my friends you should be with me instead of against me."
    Silence followed; I could tell they were thinking over what I said. "Well, you are very comitted." Tiffany said, breaking the silence. Brianna started to play with her long blonde hair, "And we are your best friends. So, I guess I can sneak you in tomorrow." I attacked both of them, giving them a big bear hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Tiffany rolled her eyes, "But, if we're going to help you we're going to want to know what's going on." Brianna nodded her head in agreement.
    I told them everything. From the morning of the murder to now. I told them all my clues, all my threat notes from the murderer and all my "encounters" with Kyle. They seemed more interested in the threats from the killer and my love life including Kyle; but they were still going to help.
    ____________________________________________________________
    The next day we all met outside the clinic. "Do you have the key?" I whispered to Brianna. She made sure nobody was watching us and tossed me the keys. "I'll keep watch out here for Kyle or Bethany's parents or whoever." Tiffany suggested. I gave her a warm smile, it was nice of them helping me out. Ever since I indirectly accused Kyle of being the murderer I've been trying to solve this whole thing by myself. "I'll stand outside the door with the records to keep watch from any of the employees." Brianna told me on our way in. She didn't seem to thrilled about breaking and entering but I was glad she was helping.
    I got into the room no problem. I looked at all the records a few months before the murder. If she was pregnant it wouldn't have been too long unless she got an abortion but she didn't seem like the type. Plus, if she did get an abortion it would be in this record. She had a file; Bethany Matthews. I opened it up and my jaw dropped in shock. I couldn't believe my eyes. Brianna burst in, "Somebody's coming!"
    midterms are over:) so im going to try my best to post a new chapter everyday! new one up tomorrow; youll find out whats so shocking about Bethany's record:) thanks for reading!

    It was weird but I was actually upset about my fight with Kyle. Like I never thought I would fall in love with him but I guess I had. I was so stupid for putting this murder solving before love. I mean there's a posibility I could never solve this murder but it was guarnanteed I could have had a nice summer romance. What was I even doing? i was way in over my head.
    The next day I was walking through Peachbook's small town square. I was totally memorized by solving this murder that I had almost forgotten about the real world and was always trapped in some fantasty land trying to put all the clues together to solve the puzzle. "Sorry, excuse me." I said while bumping into somebody. I've been doing this a lot lately, since I was in another world constantly thinking about the murder. I looked up to find I ran into Kyle. He rolled his eyes and started to trot away from me.
    I ran over to catch up to him. "Look, Kyle I'm sorry I didn't trust you. I'm sorry I thought you might have been hiding somehting from me or that you were the murderer. Please, forgive me." He continued giving me the silent treatment. "Just stop trying to solve this murder, Haley. It's crazy. I don't know why you think you can do this when the police and deteictives can't. She's gone and solving the crime isn't going to make her come back." he vented. Before I could say anothing he hopped into his beat up car and zoomed off. Kyle was right, there was no way I could solve the murderer. I was just some teenage girl looking for adventure in this boring town. Solving the murder wasn't going to fix the fact that Bethany was dead.
    Later that night I got together with Brianna and Tiffany for another summer sleepover. "What's wrong?" Brianna asked me after noticing I barely swooned over Zac Efron while watching Seventeen again like we usually did. "Oh, I'm just tired. I've been busy with um, family stuff." I lied. Truth was I was constantly trying to figure out this murder even when I was trying so hard not too. Tiffany looked at me suspiciouslly. I quickly looked away and suggested we popped in some 90210 before bed.
    Tiffany and Brianna were watching intently while I zoned off trying to put the clues together. I had seem this episode a total of thirty times so it's not like it mattered anyways; it was my favorite. I ran through the suspects again... Okay, so the murderer was probably not Amy but there still could be a way, the records could have been altered by her after knowing somebody would check. Yet, that wasn't very realistic. And Bethany's parents are still a huge suspect if they had the heart to disown one of their daughters it would be easy for them to kill their other daughter. But why? What could Bethany have done to make her parents kill her? Then of course there's Jason; he's probably not the murderer but I needed to take a bus to visit him to get some details. If he were in love with Bethany then he would know everything. And last but definitely not least, Kyle. Kyle could have murderered Bethany for several reasons. My main theory is because he was in love with Bethany and got upset. That kid clearly had some anger issues.
    "My parents would kill me if I showed up at home pregnant." Tiffany commented about the episode we were watching, awaking me from my thoughts. "My parents and my boyfriend. My boyfriend would literatly kill me if I was pregnant with another guy's kid." Then it hit me; Bethany could have been pregnant. Think about, great reason for her parents to get so mad and ashamed that they kill her. Or Kyle could have killed her out of jealousy that she was going to have a kid with his best friend Jason. Or, the most probable reason, Jason could have killed Bethany for cheating on him wtih Kyle. If I could find out if Bethany was pregnant I could solve this murderer. "That's it!" I shouted, with Tiffany and Brianna both staring at me like I was insane.
    okay everyone i decided to keep writing! yay! so heres the thing i cant post another chapter til thursday cause thats when my last exam is; i hope you respect the fact that i have to study and wait until then for a new chapter. thanks:) also, for my next story im thinking of just a classic romance kind of like my story still waiting for you; would any of you read that considering it will only have romance in it? let me know, thanks:)

    The next day I went to the town bus station. Since Peachbrook was practically in the middle of nowhere this was like the only way out. I realized that Jason could have a lot to do with this. So, of course I was going to pay a visit to him in Penn State next weekend. He definitely had to do with this. First off, if Bethany was in love with him she would tell him everything. And everything on Bethany's mind could be some huge clues. It could lead to the killer. Second of all, love is very powerful and could do a lot to a person. Possibly even make someone kill someone out of jealousy.
    "That will be $37.94." The cashier told me after I purchased the ticket for next week. I took the envelope with the ticket in it and started to walk towards the door. I heard a door slam and peered behind the desk where I had purchased the ticket. It was empty now. My eyes caught glimpse of a cabniet full of records. I couldn't help but run over there and look through them. Maybe it will show who was in and out of town during the murder.
    I searched through to find the week of Bethany's murder. Jason's name was nowhere on it. But I did find something else. My jaw practically dropped when I saw Amy's name. These records said she left town a few days before the murder and didn't come back until a few days after. I guess that could check Amy off the suspect list, not for sure but there was a good chance it wasn't her.
    I heard a door start to open and quickly stuffed the record back. I quickly ran from away from the desk and out the door. I took out the envelope with my ticket and opened it up. Except, my ticket wasn't in there anymore. There was a note. It read, 'You're getting closer. You better stop now thought before your next.' It was clearly a note from the murderer. This only meant one thing, Jason had to do with this and I was getting closer to finding out the murderer.
    i'm soooo sorry i didn't post recently. i've just been really busy and honestly i'm just not motivated to write anymore. i'm honestly thinking about stopping, i just dont have the time anymore. but for now i'll keep writing. i'

    How to Solve a Murder WithoutBeing Murdered:
    ~11~
    "Where'd you get that picture from?" he asked angrily. He snatched it out of my bag. I was too scared to answer. "Did you steal this from my room?" he snapped. I nodded my head silently. "Why?" he asked, flustered. "I thought it may help me solve the murder." A look of disgust crossed his face. "Haley, you're so obsessed with solving this murder that you're willing to steal, break and enter, and god knows what else. Why is this so important to you anyways? Just drop it, if professional detectives can't figure it out, neither can you. Your're wasting your time trying to solve a murder of a girl you don't even know and you're missing out on your summer. You could be falling in love with me right now but you're blinded by trying to solve this murder that you don't even notice I really like you, Haley."
    I didn't know what to say to that. He was right, maybe I was taking this murder thing too far. Who was I to think I could solve something this complex? I just wanted adventrue and excitement this summer. But maybe he was the adventrue and excitement I needed. "I don't know. I'm sorry, Kyle. I just wanted this summer to be exciting and adventurous and I thought this was it. I know I probably won't be able to solve it but it's just something inside me wants it so badly. I think I'm starting to like you too, if you'd just forgive me."
    He stared at me, thinking of what to say. "Tell me honestly, why did you steal this picture? Why did you think it was significant? I told you I would tell you everything you needed to know. Why didn't you believe me?" Before I could even think of what to say I blurted out the truth, "I thought you were hiding something from me. Like you were the murderer or something." He gave me another look of disgust, "I would never murder my best friend Haley." With that he bolted towards his car without another word.
    I walked home slowly that night. I never knew Kyle meant so much to me until he was about to kiss me. Then, I lost him like that after he got mad at me for stealing. I was so stupid. Maybe I should have trusted Kyle.
    My thoughts were inturupted as I peaked into Peachbrook's fanciest reastaurant. I couldn't believe my eyes. The girl in the Prom picture, that was Kyle's date was sitting right there with her whole family. Half of me wanted to go in so badly to ask her a few questions. But the other part of me wanted to listen to Kyle and forget this whole thing; it was practically hopeless. Plus, like Brianna and Tiffany said, it was really dangerous since I was getting threating notes from the murderer. But I guess the half of me that wanted to solve the murder wanted it more because before I could even think about it I was already inside the reasturant.
    Classical music was playing in the background. I guess it was perfect timing because as soon as I entered the reasturant the girl in the prom picture got up to go to the bathroom. I quickly followed her and put the large garbage can in front of the door. She looked paniced as I did this. "What are you doing?" she asked in a shaky voice. "My name's Haley. I'm trying to solve Bethany Matthew's murder and I think you may be able to help me."
    She calmed down a bit after I said this. "Okay, what do you want to know?" she asked. "I found a picture, unfortunately it's not on me, but it was a picture of this past year's Senior Prom. You brought Kyle with you. And Bethany went with a guy named Jason. Do you know anything about Jason?" I asked. She started to fix her hair in the mirrior while talking to me, "Jason and Bethany were madly in love. Both of them loved each other to death. Jason was Kyle's best friend. They never really talked in school thought cause they were both so different. Plus Jason's a grade higher than Kyle. But they're really close. That's how Kyle and Bethany knew each other. But they had to keep their relationship a secret cause well Bethany's parents are a little.." "Insanely Strict?" I finished her sentence. "Yeah. So yeah, Jason went off to college at Penn State a few weeks ago. Anything else?" she asked. "Well that was all very helpful," I started off by saying, "Just wondering but what was your relationship with Kyle and how do you know all this personal stuff?" She giggled, "Kyle and I were friends so I was kind of friends with Bethany and Jason." I nodded in approval, knowing I might be the first girl he's ever really had feelings for. "Thanks again, and you are?" I asked. "I'm Mitsy." I smiled at her, "Nice meeting you Mitsy and thanks for your help."
    So Jason and Bethany were madly in love. I guess Jason wasn't a suspect; especially since he already left for college. But this made me more suspicious about Kyle. Like what if he was in love with his best friend's girlfriend? And after Jason left he wanted to be with Bethany but she refused so he killed her? I don't know but I still was very susicious of Kyle, he seemed to have something to do with this. Yet again, her parents and Amy were still huge suspects.
    Feedback please:) Thanks for reading!

    I ran as fast as I could to keep up with the figure that I could swear was Amy. I decided to lay back a little; when she didn't see me she started to walk at a brisk paste. I carefully followed her without making a sound. I ended up following her to the "bad part" of Peachbrook. She walked into a small, worn down apartment.
    I waited a few minutes and then decided to knock on the door. Surprisenly she answered; it was in fact Amy. "What do you want?" she asked in fear. Well, this made me even more suspicious of her. Yet again, she could be scared of me for other reasons; like if I was trying to collect her over due taxes or something. "My name's Haley and I'm trying to solve your sister's murder. Amy, right?" She looked at me in shock that a teenager was trying to solve her sister's murder and that I knew her name. "Come on in."
    "Did my parents send you?" she asked in disgust. "No. Actually, they're one of my suspects." A sly grin crossed her face. "I wouldn't be surprised if they murderered her. After what they did to me. Look at where I live now. They left me without a family. They're crazy. One little thing and they just go to the extreme." I looked around Amy's apartment; it was definitely a down grade from their beautiful house. "I have to go to communit college now since they were the only ones to give me a scholarship. They've ruined my whole life." Not only was I sensing her parents were a little extreme and super strict; but also that Amy seemed to resent them. Maybe she killed Bethany because she was so jealous of her living the life she used to have and love. Amy told me more and more about basiclly how evil her parents are. Almost like she was trying to frame them. I looked at the old cat clock on the wall and noticed I was late for my date with Kyle. (Yes, this time it was a date.) "I'm sorry, but I have to go. You've been a huge help. Thanks so much." I told her while she led me out. "No problem. If you need to know anything else just stop by. Be careful around my parents though." she warned.
    "Sorry I'm late! I saw somebody at Bethany's grave and ran after them and it turned out to be Amy who I got to talk to." Kyle stared at me in shock, "Amy's here? In Peachbrook? I thought she left town. I guess it's not that small of a town after all." I nodded, "Yeah, it's crazy. I know." I told him everything Amy told me and told him my suspicions of both her and her parents. Of course I didn't tell him he was a suspect himself.
    After dinner we went out for icecream. "So, I'm surprised you were willing to go out on this date with me." he smirked. "Well, I was hoping to get some more clues out of you." I joked with a smile. And not a 'I'm not just being nice smile.' but more like a 'I kind of sort of think I love you smile.' We sat down outside on a nearby picnic bench. "That's why I like you Haley. You're just so headstrong and motivated. Your like confident unlike most girls." I continued blushing. "Thanks. I'm not quite sure why I like you. You're kind of concieded." I joked. "Oh, so you do like me?" he asked. I blushed again, "Yeah, I do." I could feel it coming, we were about to kiss, until...
    "What's that?" he asked. "What?" I answered wanting to get back to the kiss. "That picture." I turned around to find the prom picture I had stolen from his room sticking out of my bag. Busted.

    How to Solve a Murder WithoutBeing Murdered:
    ~9~
    The next day I rushed straight over the library again to look at old year books. I was determined to find out who was in the picture with Bethany. I can’t believe Bethany was in love, or at least I thought she was. It’s so weird to think this shy, over protective girl, that was practically trapped in her house had a boyfriend; an attractive boyfriend at that.
    I pulled Peachbrook high school’s yearbook from this past year and looked through it. I found a perfect match to the guy in the picture. His name was Jason Samuels. I looked up more about him in the yearbook. He seemed normal; he played soccer, was involved in a few clubs and seemed to have gotten good grades since the yearbook said he’ll end up going to Penn State in just a few weeks when school would be starting up again. Too bad yearbook’s didn’t tell you about his dating life or anything like that.
    I shut the yearbook when I noticed a piece of paper sticking out of it. I opened it up to that page and found a picture of the Senior prom. It was a big group shot but I managed to find Bethany in it wearing the same dress she was in the picture I stole from Kyle’s room. I was debating whether I should read the note or not. Of course, I did. It was from the murderer again. It read; “What’s with you and libraries? You can’t possibly try solving a murder with clues from the library. But seriously, stop now before it’s too late.”
    I put the note in my bag next to the picture from prom I had stolen from Kyle. I couldn’t help but think Jason was part of the mystery in some way. I mean, the murderer must be putting these notes here because I’m getting closer and closer. If I wasn’t close he or she wouldn’t be going through all of this. Jason and Amy were both part of this, I just needed to figure out how.
    Later that day I got a call from Kyle. “Hey, Haley I know this may sound weird but do you want to go on another date?” I was in shock. Kyle wasn’t the type of guy to go on two dates with a girl. He didn’t have girlfriends, he had dates. “Um, sure.” I answered back. “Okay cool. I’ll meet you at Apple Bee’s at seven then.” He said on the other end. “Alright, bye.” Maybe if I went I could get more out of Kyle. Kyle was like a primary source, I needed him to solve this mystery. He might even be the murderer, like think about it, he could have been jealous of Jason and mad that Bethany chose Jason over him and killed her. But, we couldn’t jump to conclusions; Amy, Mr. and Mrs. Matthews and Jason were all looking suspicious too. I guess I also wanted to go to dinner with him because I guess I kind of sort of liked Kyle… but I wasn’t going to admit it. It was probably some phase that I was going through where I liked his type.
    I got ready for the date and left a little early to go visit Bethany’s grave. Her funeral was today and I just felt like if I was solving a girl’s murder I should probably talk to her. Even if she was dead I just felt like I needed to visit her.
    I parked in the parking lot and started to walk there. The graveyard was huge and practically empty. I swear there were more people buried here than the population of Peachbrook. I stopped dead when I saw a mysterious figure dressed in black by Bethany’s grave. I tried to see who it was. It was a younger woman; but I couldn’t recognize her. I tried to get closer so I could see who it was. But of course that didn’t go too smoothly and I stepped on a stick breaking the silence. She stared right at me in fright. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It was Amy. Before I could soak all of this in she started running away. I wasn’t going to let this clue slip right out of my hand so I started to chase after her.
    It’s getting good now; isn’t it? Lol. So tomorrow I’m going skiing again but I’m GOING to post a chapter!! I’m just going to post it early in the morning before school so it will be up for you to read! I hope you all appreciate that and another will be up the next day! Thanks!

    How to Solve a Murder Without Being Murdered:
    ~8~
    Within the next five minutes we arrived at his average looking house. He led me inside. We went upstairs to his room. I sat down at his desk and he said at the edge of his bed. I looked around the room. "So, what do you want to know?" he asked breaking the akwardness.
    "Well, for starters tell me about your relationship with Bethany." I demanded. He started at me as if he had no idea how that was going to help me solve the murder. "Well, like I said we were really good friends." I started getting fustrated with his short and unhelpful replys. "Okay. So when did you become friends? Did her parents know you were friends with her?" He shook his head, "Okay we met like in the beginning of high school. So I was a freshman and she would have been a sophomore if she wasn't home schooled. And we just met through the town; it's a small town. But we didn't really show case our friendship. First of all it would totally ruin my image. Second of all her parents would flip if they found out her daughter was friends with me of all people. Ever since the Amy thing you found out about they basiclly put Bethany on house arrest." I nodded. Finally I was getting some answers.
    "Did you like her?" I asked. "What do you mean? Like like?" he asked. I nodded, "Yeah, did you have any feelings for her?" He shook his head, "No way. We were just friends. She didn't have any because of her overly protective parents and I'm kind of a loner if you haven't noticed." I tried to think of more questions to ask but couldn't really think of any. Maybe this stuff wasn't important.
    "Anything else?" he asked impatiently. "Yeah. Why don't you seem upset or sad about Bethany's death?" I asked bravely. He wasn't expecting a question like this; I could see it in his face. "I am. Tough guys don't show their emotions on the outside but on the inside I'm dying." Just then his home phone started to ring. "I'll be right back." he informed me while running out of the room.
    Finally I was getting some answers out of Kyle. Honestly, the murderer could be her parents, Amy or Kyle. And quite frankly, I was leaning towards Kyle. It's just something about him; he's been suspicious his whole life. Plus he has only a thousand reasons to kill her. He could have loved her, he could have killed her and that's why he's not showing any kind of depression from her death, he could of killed her for several different reasons that I didn't know since he could be lying. He could be lying about the whole thing.
    Well, if Kyle was the murderer maybe I should snoop out his room too. A box with a picture sticking out of it caught my eye. I bent over and took out the picture. I couldn't beieve my eyes. It was a Senior Prom picture from last year. Kyle was in it with some random girl and then there was Bethany but she wasn't alone. She was hand in hand with a familiar looking guy. It wasn't a date; they were definitely in love. You could just tell. You think since it would such a small town I would know who he was. He had short blonde hair and blue eyes form what the picture showed. He must have been a Senior this past year at Peachbrook high school; since your allowed one guest he must have broguht Bethany. Kyle's date must hae been a Senior too since Kyle was only a junior.
    So, if Bethany was in love with that guy, he may have something to do with this all. Love was a powerful force, more powerful than people think. I heard footsteps coming towards Kyle's room. I stuffed the picture in my bag and sat back down. "Sorry about that. So, have any questions?" he asked. "No, I have more than I need. Thanks."
    How are you all liking the story? Who do you think the murderer is?? New chapter up tomorrow:) Thank

    How to Solve a Murder Without Being Murdered:
    ~7~
    I was so shocked by everything I had just learned. I was clearly getting closer and closer to the murderer and I wasn't going to stop at anything. It was almost addicting to get more and more clues. That night, I looked up Amy Matthews on the internet to see if I could find anything about her but I had no luck with it.
    The next day I decided to go searching for more clues. I can't just jump to conclusions here. Nobody was going to believe me until I had a clue proving who murderered her. I decided to start off with Bethany's parents first because honestly, I found them the most suspicious.
    I knocked on their big oak door and waited for a response. Mrs. Matthews opened the door. "Hi, I'm Haley. You're neighbor from acorss the street. My family and and I are so sorry about your loss. My mom made some cookies for you." I told her smiling. She snatched the cookies out my hand and said, "Thank you." Then shut the door in my face. How rude. She was clearly hiding something... or just was still mourning her daughter's murder.
    But of course I wasn't going to give up that easily. I waited until later in the afternoon when Mr. and Mrs. Matthews left the house. I went into their yard and became to snoop around; looking in open windows, everything outside and possibly finding a way in. After I had circumnated the entire house I felt a tap on my shoulders. Oh god, I can just see it now, probably the police wondering why I was snooping around.
    I turned around to find Kyle staring at me suspiciouslly. "I take it you're still trying to solve this murder?" he asked. I tried to ignore him and continue to snoop around but he blocked me. I was still mad at him for not helping at all. He was best friends with the girl whose murder I was trying to solve and told me absolutely nothing. "What? Are you trying to break in?" he asked rudely. I rolled my eyes when I spotted an open window. I was about to crawl threw it when he pulled out a set of keys from under a pot on their porch. I blushed in embarassment to the obviousness I had just missed.
    We walked into the empty house. "So, what's with the silent treatment?" he asked while I tried to frantically search the house for clues. "Um, I don't know maybe because you suckered a date out of me and didn't give me like any information." I snapped. He folded his arms and leaned on the wall calmly as I was running around still. "I thought that was enough. Besides, I didn't know you were going to be so into this. I thought it was just a phase or whatever." I rolled my eyes, "Well, it's not and no thanks to you I actually have a few clues."
    I started to go up the stairs to snoop around Bethany's room. "Really? And what would these clues be?" he asked. "I'm not telling you." I said stubbornly. I looked through millions of things but couldn't find anything that was related to a clue. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I didn't have a lead. Maybe that note from the murderer wasn't really from the murderer. "Well, not that I know you're serious about solving this whole murder. Why don't you come to my house after this? I'll tell you more." Wow, me in Kyle's house? Brianna and Tiffany would be freaking right now. Honestly, I was kind of scared. This kid creeped me out. He was practically a loner that has a billion girls after him. "You promise you'll tell me something?" I asked. He held out his pinky. "Pinky swear." I rolled my eyes. What were we, three again? I gave him my pinky too. I blushed after touching his pinky. Even if Klye was a total creep, I had to agree that he was attractive.
    "Come on, let's go. You don't want to be charged of robbery." he warned me. "Okay, you're right." I made sure everything was back where it was and we left, returning the key under the pot holder. Then he led me to his car. I couldn't help but wonder why Kyle wanted to hang out with me. Did he really want to help with the murder? Or did he like me? Yet again, why would a guy like him who could get any girl like an average girl like me? Well, Kyle was also the kind of guy to hit on every girl in the whole town so I guess it's not too suspicious and he probably wants to know who murdered his best friend. Right?
    "You promise this time you're going to tell me some useful information?" I asked in a rude tone. He lauhed it off, "Yes, yes, yes. You're so uptight. Don't worry about it. I'll tell you everthing I know."
    How are you all liking the story???? New chapter up tomorrow:)

    How to Solve a Murder Without Being Murdered:
    ~6~
    Later that night I went on the computer and looked up the names I had found in the article about Amy. I found one of the girls Susan Webber on facebook that night and found out where she worked and everything. Solving a mystery is so much easier with technology. I knew this was going to be dangerous, but I didn't care. It was too exciting and I was getting to far to quit now.
    The next day I walked into the pizza place where this Susan girl (who was a part of the drug scheme with Amy) got into worked at. I tried to spot her out from what I remembered of her facebook pictures. A flash of red hair caught my eye bustling out the door. I followed her. I was about to stop and ask here questions right here but there were too many people. She might not be willing to talk about her past with them around.
    I followed her until we came to a much quiter street with less activity. I took a deep breath and tapped her on the shoulder. "Hi, my name's Haley. Could you answer a few questions for me?" I asked with a warm, friendly smile. "Do I know you?" she asked rudely. I shook my head, "No, but I believe you're Susan Webber? I just have a few questions, it won't take long." She took a long suspicious look at me and then finally spoke, "Fine. Follow me." she directed. She walked a few more houses down until we arrived at a small, blue ranch. I followed her to the door step as the fumbled for her keys.
    I could feel my legs shaking in fear. I was about to go into some stranger's house that I knew nothing about besides the fact she was in some illegal drug scheme. What if she was the murderer and killed me because she knew I knew too much? No, that was crazy. Now, I'm just being super paranoid. There's no reason for her to be the murder. Yet again, I had one clue. Almost anybody could be the murderer at this point.
    She opened the door and stepped inside, "You coming?" she asked. I couldn't find my words with all the fear I had just put myself through so I just nodded. We sat at a little round kitchen table. "What do you want?" she asked. I stared at her blazing red hair that almost went down to her butt while figuing out what to say. "Like I said before my name's Haley and I just had a few questions about five years ago." Her face turned bright red, almost as red as her hair. "Why do you want to know?" she spat. "This may sound weird, but I'm trying to solve Bethany Matthew's murder and if you answer a few questions for me it might helped." I admitted, blushing at the embarrassment. She relaxed a bit, "Oh, well then in that case I guess I can answer a few questions."
    I felt relieved at the fact that she was allowing me to ask her about it. She didn't seem to happy when I brought it up. "I want to know about Amy. What happened after that drug thing?" I asked. "Amy was just some good girl looking for some rebellion so of course I let her in on the whole thing. I'm not proud of what I did back then, but hey, I was a kid. Kids do stupid things like that. Luckily, my parents just grounded me and forgave me. But, Amy's parents didn't." I was at the edge of my seat, waiting for more. "Like I said, Amy was a goody goody two shoes type of girl. She was home schooled and smart and perfect in every possible way. But, she was tired of being the perfect child so she got involved. Now, when her parents found out they went crazy. And they ended up disowning her a few days after the scheme. Nobody knows where she is now. Although, her parents just told the everyone she went off early for college but the truth is they didn't want her anymore."
    My jaw dropped in shock. "Is that all you need because Pretty Little Liars is going to be on soon and..?" I nodded my head, "Yeah, that's it. Thank you so much." I let myself out and took a nice long walk home.
    This clue was getting better and better. Okay, so if Amy's parents disowned her they clearly are a lot more strict than I thought. What if Bethany did something worse than Amy? What if her parents killed her? It was totally a possibility now since they disowned their other daughter. Then again, Amy could have murdered her sister too out of jealousy. Even if she was such a good girl her parents disowning her probably messed her up big time. And if something that big happened they get somebody to blame for it and then after they get somebody to blame they get revenge. Those are my suspects so far, and Kyle just because he always asked so suspicious about the whole thing.
    Feedback please!!! Did you like this chapter? Do you like this story? I want to know:) Also, yeah sorry Bethany's last name is supposed to be Matthews. And a lot of you have been asking how long this story's going to be; so it's going to be around 20-30 chapters and then of course I'll be starting a new story:) New chapter up tomorrow!!

    How to Solve a Murder Without Being Murdered:
    ~5~
    The next morning I decided to go to the library to find some more information about Amy since Kyle barely helped. I left our "date" right after the check came the night before. I guess you could say I was dissappointed with the information he gave me which was barely even considered information. If I was going to solve this murder I was going to need way more than that; that's why I was here at the library looking up old newspapers and yearbooks.
    I browsed all of Peachbrook High School's old yearbooks just in case Amy went to school instead of being home schooled. I couldn't really find anything. I searched through old newspapers too. It was taking all day and I haven't found anything. Maybe tryin to solve this was a mistake. It's been two days and I didn't even have one little clue yet.
    I was nearly falling asleep from such a long day staring at newspaper after newspaper until I finally found something. It was article about a group of teenagers from five years ago who were getting into some trouble and Amy Matthews was one of them. I read the article to find that Amy and these other teenagers were found using and selling illegal drugs. I quickly jotted down the names in the articles. It makes total sense how Mrs. Matthews, Amy's mom, was trash talking her. I mean if her parents were as strick as rumored this must have been a huge deal. The only question was; where is Amy now?
    I flipped the page of the newspaper to read the last paragraph when a small piece of computer paper fell out. I picked it up from the ground and unfolded it. There was a sentance typed up on it that read, 'Trying to figure out who murdered Bethany? You better stop right here, or you'll be next.' My heart started to pound in fear. Did the murderer put this here? I quickly put away the newspaper and ran home in fear, paranoid. If the murderer put that note there, then I must be on the right track. If that note was there, it must be a clue. I finally had my first clue. As much as I wanted to stop because I was scared half to death I wanted to keep going even more because I had finally found a clue.
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Later that night, I went over to Tiffany's house. They asked me a bunch of questions about the "date" with Kyle. Instead of telling them the color of his eyes like they wanted, I told them what he told me about Bethany and Amy. "Isn't it odd how he like didn't tell me anything big?" I asked them. Brianna shrugged, "He probably didn't know." I shook my head, "He knows alright. He's hiding something and I don't know why." Tiffany laughed, "Yeah, okay Haley." I touched the note the murderer, or whoever, left in the newspaper, in my pocket. "Really? Then how come earlier today I went to the library and looked up some stuff about Amy and found out she was caught with illegal drugs." I spat. They sudenly stopped laughing and stared at me. "And, that's not it. I know it's a clue because I found this in the newspaper." I said handing them both the note. Fear swept across their faces. "Haley, I don't want you to do this anymore." Tiffany told me in a serious tone. "Me neither." Brianna agreed with her. "Why? I'm actually getting somewhere!" I protested. "Yeah, you're going to get yourself killed." Brianna lectured. "Seriouslly, this is dangerous.
    Think about it, Haley, if you get any closer he or she could kill you too." Tiffany told me. "But," I tried to speak but they wouldn't let me. "But, nothing. I don't want to loose a friend. It's horrible enough losing Bethany, a girl we didn't even know. We don't want to lose you too. All this town needs in another murder, Haley." Tiffany ranted on. "Promise us you'll stop? Please?" Brianna begged. They both stared at me with beating eyes. "You're right. I promise you I'll stop." I said with my fingers crossed behing my back.
    And so the drama and intensity starts:) Feedback please! Chapter 6 will be out tomorrow around 4:30 or so (eastern standard time in the US btw. haha.)

    How to Solve a Murder Without Being Murdered:
    ~4~
    "I can't believe you are going on a date with Kyle." Brianna swooned later that day before I was going to have dinner with him. "It's not a date!" I protested. "Yeah, okay." Tiffany said sarcastically hopping off my bed to help me pick out earings. "I thought you thought he was a creep." Brianna reminded me. "He is. There's something weird about him. Like I said before, the only reason I'm going out to dinner with him is becuase I need answers, I need clues, I need to solve this murder and since he was apparently good friends with Bethany, he's going to help a lot." I said while putting on the hoop earings Tiffany picked out for me. "Oh no this again. You really want to do this, Haley?" Tiffany asked me. I nodded, "Of course." Brianna giggled, "When Haley says she's going to do something she does it." Tiffany rolled her eyes, "Whatever. You're never going to get anywhere though. The police can't find anything." I glanced at my ihome, I had to leave for my, NOT a date, dinner with Kyle. It was simply business.
    "Refill on my diet coke, please." I politely told the waitress at the local family reasturant in our small, hopeless, boring, old town. "Alright, I'll be back." Kyle sat directly acorss from me. "Okay, I came to this dinner thing with you now spill. What do you know? About Bethany and Amy." I demanded. He smirked, "I only promised you I would tell you about Amy if you went to dinner. I didn't agree to tell you anything about Bethany." He was really getting me agravated. "Oh come on. Don't you want to know who murdered her?" I asked him. He shurgged, "Of course I do but I honestly don't think you're going to be the one to find out." I ignored his rude comment. "Just tell me everything you know." I snapped.
    He took a deep breath before starting. "Bethany was our age but she was a year ahead of us in school. Of course she was home schooled because her parents are over protective. But she was about to go off to college before, you know. She was beautiful, smart, and just fun to be around and we were really good friends." I inturupted him, "Just friends?" I asked raising an eyebrow. "Yeah, definitely." I nodded, then continued to ask questions, "Wait, did her parents know you and her were friends?" I asked. He shook his head, "Not really. Like I said they're over protective. Anywho, I have no idea who did this or why. But, Amy is Bethany's older sister."
    Just then our food came. We started to eat. "That's it? You were best friends with her and that's all your telling me?" I asked suspically while taking a bite of my salad. "There's not much to know really." he answered. "And Amy? All you're telling me is she was her older sister?" I asked. "Yeah, pretty much. I know Amy and her parents had some issues before she like left home or something but I don't know much about that. Bethany didn't like talking about Amy much."
    I swallowed another bite of my food. I can't believe I went on this stupid date for that little information. That was barely any information at all let alone a clue.
    There was something Kyle wasn't telling me, I could tell. What was he hiding and more importantly why was he hiding it?
    Sorry to say but I can't really do "reminders" anymore; it's taking way too much time and I have midterms to study for it's hard enough for me to get chapters up let alone to that. So yeah, again, I'm sorry but you're going to have to check for a new chapter yourself. I usually post one a day; on weekdays it's usually around 4:30 and on weekends it's unpredictable. Sorry for the inconvience; just keep checking my profile or go to categories, top 24hrs and you'll find it there too. Hope that helped, sorry again. NEW CHAPTER TOMORROW:)

    How to Solve a Murder Without Being Murdered:
    ~3~
    Eggs, milk and bread; later that day my mother sent me to the local grocery store to get these three things but I came back with so much more.
    I walked into the town's local grocery store dripping wet from the rain outside. It seemed like the whole town was talking about Bethany's murder. Nothing has been so exciting or tragedic since the car accident of '96. Everywhere I walked, people were talking about it.
    I almost dropped the eggs in my hand when I saw Bethany's mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Matthews, talking to Mr. Peterson, the grocery store owner. I quickly ran into the empty ilse next to them so I could ease drop. "I'm so sorry for your loss. It's such a shame, she was such a bright young lady." Mr. Peterson said to them. "I know, it's such a shame. She was going to go so far in life." Mr. Matthews, Bethany's dad answered back. "I always thought, since what happened to Amy, Bethany would make up for it all." Mrs. Matthews added. Amy? Who was this Amy? Why was she a part of this? What did she mean by 'since what happened to Amy'?
    "Ease drop much?" a familiar voice startled me. I spun around, nearly dropping the eggs again to find Kyle smirking at me. "I was trying to get clues, for your information." I snapped. He chuckled, "Oh, right? You think since the police can't get to the bottom of this you can?" I rolled my eyes, "Trying never hurt anyone. Now, you want to know who killed your best friend, right?" I asked. He shrugged, "I guess so." I looked around to make sure nobody was around us. "Tell me who Amy is. I heard Mrs. Matthews talking about her to Mr. Peterson." I demanded. "I'll tell you if you go out to dinner with me tonight." he said cleverly. I rolled my eyes, "Look, I know you're used to girls being all over you for whatever reason, but I'm not looking for a boyfriend. I just want to solve this murder." He had no idea how to react to a rejection since I'm sure he didn't have many. Yet, I had no idea why. He was so 'mysterious' and sketcy, like I would be scared to go out on a date with him. "No dinner, no answers. Believe me, I know a lot of stuff you want to know." he said stubornly. "Fine, I'll go to dinner with you but it's not a date, got that?" I snapped at him. He chuckled effortlessly, "Sure. See you then Haley. Or should I say Nancy Drew?"
    I figured out the formating.. kind of. haha. Sorry this one is not spaced enough, i'll get it right eventually! lol! anywho ANOTEHR CHAPTER WILL BE UP TODAY! comment for a reminder:) ?" I

    How to Solve a Murder Without Being Murdered:
    ~2~
    We didn't sleep a wink for the rest of the night, knowing what had just happened. Not to mention the cops, private investigaters, and some super nosey neighbors were making a huge comotion.
    "Where are you going?" Tiffany snapped at me when I started to get dressed. "Outside." She looked at me like I was crazy. "Are you crazy? It's totally insane down there? Why do you even need to go? You didn't know her and you don't know her family?" Tiffany whispered, trying not to wake Briana who had finally fallen asleep. "This is the frist time something is the boring town has ever happened. I don't know about you but this summer hasn't exaclty been summer. We're going to be Seniors in a month and I don't want to waste away my last summer before college." I told her, expressing what I truely felt. "Your point?" she asked in a nasty tone. "My point is, I don't want to just sit here while the most exciting thing in this town is happening. I want to be a part of it." She clearly wasn't understanding what I was getting at. "Like by planning the funeral? What do you mean, Haley?" he asked. I rolled my eyes, "No, by solving the murder." I smirked. She stared at me with my mouth open while I waltzed out of my room.
    I walked across the street towards Bethany's house. It looked like the whole town was there; either to mourn the death or more likely to get some details on something new to gossip about. The local news casters were trying to get the story. "Last night, 17 year old Bethany Finkle was murdered. We have no idea who the murderer is or why she was murdered." A news caster with long lucious blonde hair announced in front of the camera. I couldn't help but notice the door was open and I slipped in. Her parents were mourning in the living room and many people were there to comfort them. Then, I saw it; Bethany's body.
    I stared down at her. She really was gorgeous. Beautiful blonde hair and a perfect complextion. She was so peacful. It was a shame such a nice girl had to die like that. Yet again, I didn't know her that well and she was kind of mysterious. She looked more like she was going to Cinderella's ball, not down in the dirt. Some older ladies crowded the dead body and I returned outside to the chaos.
    Well, in order to solve a murder you needed clues; right? I have no idea, I've never solved a murder before. But, I almost always won on the board game Clue so it had to be a sign. I started to circle the outside of the house looking for some kind of clue. Maybe the murderer dropped something on the way out?
    Someting caught my eye, a footprint that faced away from the house. I knelt down to examine it. Before I could get really far a black DC sneaker stomped down on it. "Hey, I was..." I trailed off while getting up. It was Kyle; that sketchy creep that girls around here seemed to fall head over heels for. "You were what? Trying to find the murderer to be the hometown hero?" he smirked. I didn't answer since he cleary pinned it right on the nose. "Hundred of people have been walking around here for hours. It's likely not going to be the murders." he spat. I huffed, "I knew that. And so what if I'm trying to solve the murder? It's not going to hurt anybody?" He chuckled. "So why are you here anyways?" I asked bitterly. "Bethany and I were good friends." he admitted. I kind of regreted being rude to him. "Oh, I'm so sorry." I said in a comforting way. "Thanks." he whispered. It made total sense that sketchy Kyle and mysterious Bethany were friends; they were probably part of some gang or something. "So, don't you want to know who killed her?" I asked. He shook his head, "No. It's better I don't know." I bit my tongue. "Well, do you think you could maybe help me then? Like answer a few questions about her?" I asked. He shurgged, "Sure. Just be careful with what you're getting yourself into." he warned. A car horn parked from the street. "I've got to go, nice talking to you, um?" "Haley." I added, helping him out. "Nice talking to you Haley. And good luck witht his murder solving thing." he added sarcastically while running towards the car. Yeah, I was going to need more than luck. I was going to need clues.
    I CAN'T POST A CHAPTER TOMORROW CAUSE I'M GOING SKIING ALL NIGHT WITH MY FRINEDS! BUT CHAPTER 3 WILL BE UP THE NEXT DAY! COMMENT IF YOU WANT A REMINDER! SORRY FOR THE FORMAT! DON'T SWEAR AND SAVE WITTY:)
