After the following day of slander game, Alice has been skipping college and is nowhere to seen, she didn't even pick up any calls.

ECLIPSES was sitting in cafeteria having their breakfast peacefully except Emily who hasn't arrived yet when suddenly Lily spoke,

"Have you any of heard anything from Tyche, I didn't see her in past few weeks, she isn't even picking calls"

"Don't take that traitor name and spoil the mood" said Liz quiet annoyed

"Yeah, I don't care where that bit*ch is" said Hannah

"What happened to you guys, irrespective of what happened, she was our friend" said Lily supporting Alice

"What's wrong with you Lil, early morning you started, why are you suddenly taking her side" asked Liz being irritated

Before Lily could say something, Emily cut her off

"Of course, she will, overall she was also with her in the slandering game" said Emily angrily

Everyone was shocked as their eyes widen and they all turned their gaze towards Lily who was sitting there dumbfounded, and she asked, "Baesin, what do you mean?"

Emily :

Oh! Stop your drama, you know I was coming to college, on my way I found a courier boy who handed me this parcel stating this is for some Lily Thompson, realizing that's you I took it think it's from someone special but on opening what I found, it's from Alice as it mention a letter stating,

"Lil, thank you for helping me out in my plan and convincing others for party and game, let's have a party at my place today but remember to not to get caught, asked about my welfare and then come to me on the name of missing me.

Okay, I love you always, bye

Yours Tyche "

Hearing this everyone got shocked except Lily who was now just processing everything she heard.

"Is that why, you asked us to go for party that day" said Hannah with a scoff

"And Alice was supporting her" added Emily

"But wait, this could be a trap, what's the proof?" questioned Liz, hoping for it to be a lie

"This recording" said Emily while putting her phone forward, while playing a recording

"I was suspicious of Lily for long time, so I made her phone connected to me, which I felt guilty about but now it's all worth it" said Lily with pure disgust before playing the recording

On The Phone

Alice : Thank You for helping me in party

Lily :- Yeah! Of course

Alice : I feel bad for the girls, but you see I lost my identity after that scandal

Lily : I know you wanted the revenge but more than that your pride is important

Alice : Of course but feel bad for others

Lily : It's okay dear

With this the recording stopped playing, with everyone feeling betrayed

"Lily, got any explanation" asked Liz

"Yeah! That it's not me, I d-don't know w-wh....."

Her words were cut off by Hannah who threw the glass down resulting it to shatter causing Lily to flinch hard, now the whole cafeteria was looking toward these 4 girls who were feeling 4 different emotions right now

"Stop just fucking stop" said Hannah growling at Lily who was now silently weeping because of the shouting which bring back her trauma caused by her parent's constant fighting

"C-Crimson t-try......" said Lily in a broken whisper only to be again cut by Hannah

"HANNAH, it's Hannah for you" she said silently warning her

"Enough of all this, leave the group" said Emily

"Wait... Please, don't. I can explain." said Lily who was crying mess by now as she was afraid that just like past she would be left alone

"Let's go girl's" said Liz

They all left, leaving Lily a crying mess, she take the letter in her hand which was left behind by Emily and others but upon reading the letter a realization strike her and now her crying face was turned into shocking which without wasting a nanosecond turned red fuming in anger as she said under her breath, "You scumbag"

And suddenly she got a call upon checking the caller id her anger grows and on putting the phone on her ears, she said, "You scumbag, you did this, right"

While the caller said with a dark chuckle, "Calm Down, little sissy, I told you not to mess with and this is just a beginning, it would get worse if you try to get in my way" said Ash his voice getting darker by the end

"You're just like him, selfish and prideful" saying this she cut the call making Ash furious as he throw his phone muttering a curse under his breath

While on other hand, Lily wipe her tears and calm herself down and said to herself, "There's someone, I need to apologize now" before walking out of the cafeteria where now whispers made their way

"I did a good job mimicking their voice, Ain't I?" said the girl feeling proud of her

"Indeed baby" said the man in shadow.....
