Show Your Spirit!

So it was blackmail. Would you sell out other people to save your own skin?

   poor Kyle, but what would he have said about you guys? and what else did he know ?        maybe he knows something about amanda, maybe its on one of those sheets of paper ?  we need to run a thorough check throught them, and pronto !

2. dem_94 09.11.2009

   The first thing we need to know is what’s on those papers about Amanda! The second we need to talk to Heidi ASAP! Why does hate Amanda so much, and how did she know about those papers? I also think we need to talk to Kyle some more. There’s got to be more to the story than what he already told us.

   Callie, Hal, and Nia to the rescue! I ruined my perfect attendance record (I have a million of those, anyway), but we managed to catch Kyle!
   I agree with dem_94, we definitely need to talk to Heidi pronto. How did she know? I think Kyle is innocent, but it might be good to question him about some things just to make sure, and to get clues anyway. I don’t blame Kyle for the whole thing, by the way. I mean, it was kind of wimpy, but I understand why he did what he did. It would be a hard choice to make.
   Amanda obviously got to know a LOT of different people from different social groups, and I can picture a lot of people confiding in her. I wonder how her journal pages got scattered around town? The Amanda I know wouldn’t just leave other people’s secrets out haphazardly.
   So, I think that one of us should talk to Kyle and another should talk to Heidi. I can do whatever, any other volunteers?

   Sorry to hear ‘bout kyle. Sometimes we need to do what we _have_ to not because we _want_ to. I think we shouldn’t talk to Heidi,well not yet. We all know how *_stubborn_* she is. So maybe let’s just watch her for awhile. You know,see how she reacts to the situation. We shouldn’t tell her yet that we know she’s the supposed “spirit”. Put her on surveillance in the meantime?

5. Krystal2295 09.12.2009

   I do think we should tallk to Heidi and find out why she would want to do this to our classmates. i confided in Amanda also, but it didn’t seem like a lot of other peopole did. i wonder if she put the pages all over the town fr us to find. Maybe as a clue to what happened to her or whats happening to her.

   i completely agree with Stef_stone. we should talk to both kyle and heidi sepertly. if you need help just let me know. id be happy to help.

6. dem_94 09.12.2009

   I’d love to volunteer! Kyle spilled his guts pretty quickly in the locker room, so I don’t think he’d be hard to talk to. (Plus I totally agree with stef_stone, I think he’s innocent.) Heidi’s going to be the challenge. Any takers? (:

7. aGirlLikeMe 09.12.2009

   I despise Heidi so much. Is that bad? Just because she has great legs and a big allowance (Oh believe me, I know what she gets for allowance down to the cent. Anyone else hear about that?) to spend on clothes. Why would she do this though? Everyone knows that Heidi doesn’t like Amanda but I always thought it was just because their social standings. There is something else going on that goes far beyond the fight of just plain popularity.

   I don’t think I would blackmail anyone because it’s a sin. But I won’t know until it’s a life-or-death situation (which I hope will never happen). I’m not actually willing to go talk with Heidi like you guys. She scares me.

8. stef_stone 09.12.2009

   Ughhhh fine I will go talk to her tonight. If I’m not in Mr. B’s math class first period tomorrow morning…. call the cops. :P

9. JustVicky 09.13.2009

   Hey, well done guys! I can’t help feeling sorry for Kyle, being blackmailed into it and then being the one to get into trouble, that Heidi is a nasty piece of work. At least now we can all relax a bit and not worry about secrets being revealed, that voice was creeping me out. I think someone definitely needs to check out those journal pages, see if there’s anything of importance, which there inevitably will. How the heck did they end up all over town? That’s a new mystery to solve.

10. natalie 09.13.2009

    There must have been something going on between Heidi and Amanda, something that Heidi probably can’t bare hiding anymore. I think she’ll be easy to question. She has to be so worried about getting caught that she’ll slip and say something vital to our case. Or maybe she’s stronger than i give her credit for.
    Could she be the one who stole Amanda’s diary and scattered the pages all over town?????
    Maybe she wants to be the center of attention. As always.

11. Book16Worm 09.14.2009

    Ok. These are the questions we have to answer. What were Amanda’s journal pages doing scattered all over town? Why did heidi want to blackmail kyle and frame Amanda? And what other secrets were in those journal pages? Any one got any ideas about what to do next?

12. Krystal2295 09.14.2009

    i think we should figure out who has the journal pages now and read them. it could be a clue to where amanda is and what she is hiding.

13. AveryJ 09.14.2009

    Who knew Kyle was such a good detective? Remember when Nia explained to us how Amanda used to leave ripped out pages hidden around school and all over Orion?
    http://www.theamandaproject.com/our-stories/cross-my-heart-and-hope-to-die
    When Amanda had a secret she knew, she’d write it down in her journal, rip out the page and then leave it somewhere…wherever she thought it belonged, according to the secret’s “karma.”
    I guess there were more secrets than we realized. I wonder how many are still out there…

14. audrey_horne 09.14.2009

    Heidi Bragg.
    Good luck. That kid is fierce.
    I’m older that all you little Endeavor caspers (I work at Arcadia downtown), and I’m definitely not known for my sugary sweet personality (as those of you who’ve tried to sneak into an 18+ show can vouch), but even I wouldn’t take on Heidi.
    Hate to break it to you, but I’m with themidnighter on this one. Stay away from Heidi. She’s out of your league.

15. hj_brunette 09.14.2009

    well kyle is no danger - just a silly pawn. But he knows a lot and we should check to see if anything he knows will help us find amanda. and we should see if anything on the torn journal pages is about heidi. maybe amanda found out something about heidi and THATS why heidi disliked her with a passion. then that would explain why heidi wanted to frame amanda ~ so that if amanda ever tried to tell heidi’s secret no one would believe her because they all would be mad at her after this little stunt. just a theory.

    we all should keep our eyes peeled for ripped journal pages around town…who knows what we could find

16. audrey_horne 09.14.2009

    I like the way you think hj_brunette. I like the way you think.

17. cbelle94 09.15.2009

    Hm. I, too, agree with hj_brunette. :]

18. stef_stone 09.16.2009

    Good thinking, Avery J!

    I agree with audrey_horne….Heidi is “fierce”. I tried to talk to her Sunday night at youth group (someone had to do it!), and she nearly ripped my head off. I started out just asking if she knew what happened with the Spirit, but she was giving me one syllable answers and as soon as I knew it we weren’t going to get anywhere I let her know what I knew. She immediately said, “What? You shouldn’t listen to vicious rumors, Stefanie”, and gave me her evil little smile. Arghhhhhhh!

    I did hear her talking to her little cronies while they were waiting for their “chaffeurs” to come and pick them up. I heard Amanda’s name mentioned a few times, as well as the word “random” and “find”.

    Now that we know that Heidi’s a dead end, what do we do next?

19. FlyBy 09.16.2009

    eek! glad you made it out alive stef :)

20. theresaax2 09.17.2009

    HJ_Brunette, this is what I wrote before I read your comment, we had the same thinking.
    I think Amanda must’ve known too much about Heidi. Think about it, if Amanda had this blackmail on everyone else, she must’ve had something on Heidi. Heidi just found out when Amanda was around.

    I just would think Amanda disposing of her secrets she’d do it more secretly, soa s no one would find it. Unless it comforted her that someone might find it and she wouldn’t be the only one to know.  Which leads to why Kyle would find all of them. There must’ve been some found by other people, wouldn’t you think?

21. AveryJ 09.17.2009

    I agree, theresaax2. It does seem rather sloppy for Amanda. Maybe there’s a reason these secrets were supposed to be revealed? Or maybe they aren’t even Amanda’s journal pages. What if someone just wanted them to LOOK like Amanda’s journal pages? What then?

22. stef_stone 09.17.2009

    Well I think that they probably are her journal pages, since she scattered them around town and that’s how Heidi found them. Since Heidi is such a big snoop I can picture her seeing Amanda throwing around her journal pages one day and following her, and eventually looking for and finding them all.

    The only question is, what do we do now? And can we see the pages?

23. stef_stone 09.17.2009

    Oh so, I meant that Kyle found them, not Heidi. My bad! It seems as if that couldn’t be an accident randomly finding all of those pages…..

24. crackerjax 09.17.2009

    I agree with AveryJ. What if SOME of them are fakes? Maybe Heidi had the plan all along. Once she heard about what Amanda did, she made fake ones. Then she hid them where she knew Kyle would find them to get at people she did not like and blackmailed him to become the Spirt and do her dirty work.

25. charlotte92 09.18.2009

    heidi will never spill anything to us cuz she knows we’re trying to find/ help amanda. and most likely she wont like anyone else who is associated with amanda.me thinks it spy time.

26. theresaax2 09.18.2009

    That’s a good idea Charlotte. Somebody needs to become her friend. Since everyone knows Callie used to be her friend, maybe she can see if that’s a feasible objective? Heidi’s kind of really popular while Amanda wasn’t.

27. CheekyMonkey 09.18.2009

    I think crackerjax is onto something. That would probably explain why I saw Heidi, not exactly the animal lover, lurking around the dog park where I have seen Kyle walking his goldendoodle, Feebie. I bet she was planting one there, for him to find. She probably also had a grudge against Kyle and used him not only for his tech skills, but also if he got caught, too bad for him… oh well. And maybe Heidi got the intel on the kids from her mom, the newscaster, who must have ways of find things out. We should keep looking for more pages, in the locker room in case Callie dropped them in the rush or places Kyle hangs out, in case he did not find all the one Heidi left for him.  Of course there are all of Amanda’s real secrets out there, too.

28. stef_stone 09.18.2009

    I don’t know if I agree… I think Heidi’s involvement is less complicated than that. Why would she plan the whole scheme if she jsut wanted to reveal secrets. She could have spread them throughout the school like wildfire if she wanted to. I really think that we could make progress by looking at the pages.

29. Callie Leary 09.18.2009

    If only!  I wish we could pour over the pages to our heart’s content but Principal Singh had the same idea.  Right after the assembly, when I would think she’d be busy interrogating Kyle or congratulating herself on a job well done (by all of us),  I was at my locker when I felt her cold hand on my arm.  I guess Kyle had spilled the beans about the pages, and she’d seen me holding them, so she demanded them in that firm no blinky way that she has. Ok, I reached into my bag and pulled out most of them, keeping back as many as I dared.  Well, the few I kept turned out to be the kind of journal pages where Amanda experimented with different letter As or drew her childhood shoes or I don’t even know.  Not secrets I understand.  But we will definitely show you guys, because the more the merrier!  Maybe you will be able to see something we are missing, some sort of secrets hidden on the pages themselves!

30. theresaax2 09.19.2009

    Callie, hopefully we can find something! I can’t believe Heidi did that…or wait, I can. Heidi has this evil but perfect way about her, that many overlook the mean part.  I just know I’m scared of her, and you may not be, but I can imagine you’d be pretty freaked! Good job keeping your cool and some papers.

31. سازش 10.10.2009

    How do we know fersherskies that it was Heidi? all we have is Kyle’s word. Maybe Kyle is framing Heidi?

32. Pipper 01.14.2010

    Callie, what did Amandas journal say? I’m DYING to know what they say
