“I denied it because it’s none of your business,” said Sasha, taking slow, deliberate breaths. “My choices about what I put into my body have nothing to do with you. It’s not hurting anyone else.” I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow, but she ignored me. “But we’re all going to die if we don’t figure out what to do next. So can we focus on that?”

“Oh, God.” Priya hugged her chest. “What do we do next? We’ve looked everywhere; there’s no way out.”

“Right. We have to choose someone,” said Sasha. “And he’s proven he can’t be trusted.” She pointed at Scott. “He lied to me about what he was selling me.”

“No way.” I swallowed the nausea threatening to creep up my throat. How could she be so ready to kill someone? “He was wrong to sell you his Ritalin, but that doesn’t mean he should die for it. This isn’t up to you. We should all get a say in this. And I say we figure out a way to get everyone out of here alive.”

“But how?” Priya asked.

“Whether that poison’s real or not,” said Diego, “someone’s waiting for us to pick someone and inject it.” He pointed toward the camera in the china cabinet. “Someone’s watching us, right? So maybe we could reason with them.”

“Do you think Phil or Becky, or whoever it is . . . do you think they can be reasoned with?” asked Priya.

“I still don’t think it’s Phil.” Diego kept a wary eye on Sasha, who still gripped the syringe, her thumb on the plunger. “Or Becky.”

“Why the hell not?” said Robbie. “He brought a gun to school. And she defended him.”

Diego wiped his forehead with the back of his hand. “Honestly, I don’t think either of them are clever enough.” He motioned to the tray with the bomb and the note. “This is too . . . elaborate.”

“Yeah, I don’t know about Becky,” said Priya. “But Phil’s definitely not smart enough to pull off a stunt like this.”

“But who else hates all of us?” said Robbie. He turned to Scott. “Er . . . almost all of us. You sure Phil and Becky don’t have anything against you?”

Scott only shook his head. Sweat mingled with blood on his forehead, and he grimaced against the pain of his twisted ankle.

“Does it have to be someone who hates all of us?” I glanced at Sasha. “Maybe whoever it is has a particular target in mind.”

Priya’s eyes widened. “If that’s true,” she said breathlessly, “how could they do this to the rest of us? And how could they even know it would go the way they want it to?”

Sasha finally set the syringe back on its tray. “Yeah, that’s nuts.”

“Well, hang on,” I said. “Can you think of anyone who might hate one of us fiercely enough to do all of that? To take that chance? Think of all the people you’ve wronged in some way.” My pulse pounded in my ears. “Sasha, what about—”

“I know someone who hates me,” said Diego, and his eyes shifted to meet mine.
