all have been a waste of time. Meeting her at the mall to pick up the prom candles, offering to take the boxes out to her car, borrowing her car keys, then moving the dresses and all that other stuff from my trunk to hers, planning it so carefully. All of it for nothing.

It's hilarious, when you stop and think about it. I made that anonymous call to the police, telling them to search Beth's car, and then bang! the accident happens and the trunk pops open and that officer comes along just in time to see a trunk full of incriminating evidence. Perfect! A sign that all of this was meant to be.

Anyway, when this is over and Fm dancing in Mitch's arms, someone else has to take the rap, and Beth is perfect. At this point, I think she's not even sure she didn't kill Stephanie. Beth is so easily rattled.

I haven't felt this good since the night I sneaked up that fire escape and did a number on those stupid prom dresses. Driving over them felt so satisfying. I think that's when I made up my mind that I would go, no matter what. But it wasn't until Stephanie died that I figured out how.

Stealing the replacement dresses was a piece of cake. Nice of Adrienne to leave a key ring right there by the cash register. No one even noticed they were gone when I slipped them into

my jacket pocket and ran down the street to have copies made. Put them right back, easy as pie, a few minutes later. Then I could go in and out of the store any time I wanted. Still can.

We took an oath, the four of us. We were supposed to stick together, thafs what we promised each other. We always spent prom night together. But that wasn't going to happen this year, was it? Margaret was going to ruin the whole thing. Every other year it happened the way it was supposed to. But not this year.

I know it can never be the same again. I've accepted that. Even with Margaret out of the picture, ifs too late now. It won't be the same.

But at least I'll have what I want. And wasn't that the goal all along?

I will have to take Beth with me when I deal with Margaret. No choice there.

How am I going to get rid of the cop guarding her?

I'll think of something.

Nothing's going to stop me now.

that I need them. I hit Beth's car because you shrieked at me and I panicked and misjudged the distance between her car and mine. I didn't have them in. Why would I lie about that?'*

"But Mom said --"

"Your mother's right," Caroline interrupted. "When she saw me in the rest room, I was putting them in. But they started driving me crazy again, so I took them right back out. In fact, they're on the sink in the store's rest room because I forgot to stick them in my purse.
