I shrugged and slu the to scareher a dirty tramp at the party She’s a freak"

Suddenly Beth put the box down and shook her head "We shouldn’t be touching this It’ll be contaerprints now" She set it on the side, looking at it worriedly "You have called the police, haven’t you?"

Okay, I knew this was co to, and I don’t want anyone else to know either She’s just doing it toher the satisfaction" I liftedto the police, not over a beheaded teddy bear and a couple of prank phone calls, I’d get laughed right out of there

Beth’s lips pressed into a hard, disapproving line "Maisie, this is serious, what if it’s not her sending it? What if it’s not a joke? You have to tell the police"

I flinched; I refused to think about that scenario "It is her," I assured them "I don’t want a load of people to know about it, but I needed to tell someone I definitely don’t want Alex or Luke to know about this, they’ll go all caveo anywhere alone, you knohat they’re both like"

Charlotte sat forward, leaning her elbows on her knees as her blue eyes locked onto h? Sure, she’s minion of the devil, but ould she even bother with you noay? She’s got what she wanted, you and Luke have split up, she’s free to make heryou stuff like this? She’s already won, it doesn’tI hadn’t told the deal out of this was ree with h about how stupid Sandy was and then burn the teddy in so "When has she everup wasn’t enough for her," I countered "Look, I only wanted to get it off ofdeal made out of it That’s what she wants to happen"

Charlotte nodded slowly Beth still looked like she disapproved of the whole thing "You should call the FedEx people and see who sent it, they have records and stuff Or ested There was a lint to her eye and a snalled that she was up to no good

I raised one eyebrow "Hoould you do that?"

She sat back and clasped her hands together, s to do her coain and hack FedEx to see who sent it "I need my laptop," was all she answered I rolled my eyes Beth looked at Charlotte with apprehension clear across her face, she didn’t approve of anything illegal and usually shied away from Charlotte once the laptop caet home, shouldn’t be too hard to crack their security We have the tracking number on the box, so it should be a breeze" She looked al so she relished anything that posed a slight challenge to her

I sighed and nodded "Okay, but it won’t make a difference, that’ll just show that it was sent froet bored soon enough and she’ll move on to soht, but if anything else happens then you should report it, or at least tell your parents Prank calls and stuff like this is no joke, even if it’s only ree else ca then I’d tell people, but for noas happy just sweeping it under the carpet I had too ling to deal with the fact that Luke had shattered e that yes, for a few minutes, I was actually scared when I opened that box, and that yes it had actually crossed

"Once I get the proof that she sent it, we should all juhtfully

I laughed and rolled my eyes "I don’t like violence"

She raised one eyebrow "The girl sent you a mutilated teddy bear; I think violence is justified in this situation"
