Lili grabbed Gabby’s flashlight and shone it up the ridge. “There’s a ledge just below where Gabs fell. She jumped there after you pushed her.” She put pushed in air quotes. “I made lots of noise down here to make it sound like she’d had a bad fall.”

“So you were here the whole time?” Emma asked.

“Yup. I only pretended to call a cab,” Lili said. “I hid my car in the back of the Super Stop earlier today.”

“Oh, and we weren’t really fighting about Kevin, by the way,” Gabby said with a grin. “Lili isn’t into him.”

Lili made a face. “He smells like smoked salmon.”

“He does not!” Gabby’s plump lips pursed.

Lili shrugged and turned back to Emma and the others. “When you guys left, I drove here and hid at the bottom of the ravine—there’s another parking lot nearby that got me here much faster. Once I knew Gabby pretended to fall, I climbed into the cave”—Lili pointed at the rocks—“which we actually made. Wait ’til you see it in the daytime. It looks so fake and cheesy.”

“Lili waited for you guys,” Gabby went on, proudly rocking back and forth on her heels. “And then, when Sutton climbed in, I came out from my hiding place and walled you in together.” She wiggled her hands in front of her face as if to say Spooky.

“You should have heard Sutton!” Lili’s eyes gleamed. “She was begging for her life! It was priceless!” Lili shone her flashlight on her iPhone. “I got a recording of it. We can all hear Sutton. ‘Please! Don’t hurt me, please! Can’t we talk about this?’”

Gabby grinned at Emma. “You’ve been freaked for weeks, waiting for us to prank you. I swear you were going to pee your pants when we drove you to the impound the other day.”

Lili wagged her finger at Emma. “I told you we were going to get you back for that car-stalled-on-the-tracks prank.”

“Speaking of which, did you like our little choo-choo charm?” Gabby flicked Lili’s charm bracelet and it jingled. She turned to the others. “We sent Sutton a little present at the country club a couple of weeks ago. A little reminder that we weren’t even yet.”

“So it was you,” Emma said, more of a statement than a question.

“Of course it was us.” Lili grinned. “Who else would have?”

Gabby giggled. “Who knew the unflappable Sutton Mercer could get so frightened?”
