   Does anyone else think that’s a completely random thing for a note to say? What does it mean?

2. FlyBy 04.10.2009

   Totally. And I never heard anything about this from anyone. What has happened to the caliber of gossip in this school? Sad.

3. dem_94 04.10.2009

   That has to be a threat. Maybe she ran away, because someone threatened to do something to her and she was scared? If I’m right, we need to figure out who threatened her, and what they found out about her.

4. kayleigh 04.10.2009

   Sounds freeky like she did something really bad and who ever she did it to figured out it was her and tracked her down. Also kind of stalkerish like they are watching her every move. But the question i want an answer to is why would they actually want her to run and how did she get the note.

5. _Bex_ 04.10.2009

   If Amanda had such a thing for secrets, maybe she had a dark secret of her own? And maybe someone knew. And maybe whoever it was should have been far away. Maybe…maybe Amanda didn’t KNOW this person knew, but they should have been far enough away that even if they did it wouldn’t matter.

6. Sabrina 04.10.2009

   She’s a freak, but this is mucho creapy.  Are you sure she wrote it?  Like she didn’t get it from someone did she?  Wow, that’s weird.

   Hey guys—sorry I’ve been MIA. Family vaca. Blah.

   kayleigh - you are soooo right. Why would someone who’s chasing Amanda tell her to run? Um, that sort of defeats the purpose. So I’m thinking that someone wrote the note just to mess with AV. But it obviously messed her up major so that makes me think that even though the person who wrote THIS note may not have it in for AV, but someone else def does. She wouldn’t have gone AWOL otherwise, right? Does that make sense?

8. aGirlLikeMe 04.10.2009

   Totally! Or maybe she was feeling a little guilty about something so when she saw that note, she might have mistaken it as a threat from someone she accidentally hurt (Emotionally?). It’s like this:

   Your mother says you can’t have a cookie before dinner but you sneak in the jar and eat one anyway. So when your mom yells for you five minutes later to come into the kitchen, you feel worried and admit everything when really she was going to ask you to put your sneakers where they belong.

   Does THAT make sense?

   I am still very interested in Amanda’s family life. Does anyone know Amanda outside of school? Maybe a neighbor?

9. Lexis 04.10.2009

   I agree with aGirlLikeMe, i want to know more bout the fam too! notes crazy stuff, i think it was a good threat… someone of probably after her.

10. Kewpie83 04.10.2009

    Callie, your theory makes sense.  It definitely seems like a warning.  What in the world did she get herself involved with?!  I know she was a weird girl, but she never struck me as someone who would do something dangerous.  What’s Amanda’s past?  I didn’t really know her well enough to ask questions about stuff other than school.  I’m kind of getting worried about her now…

11. FlyingAway 04.10.2009

    Actually aGirlLikeMe, Amanda lived a few houses over from me. I know that she lived with her mom (who is one of the SWEETEST people in the world), but I never actually SAW her dad. I mean, it could be nothing (just another divorce), but I had never asked her about him. In the morning when we walked to school together, we were both to tired to say anything with meaning, school would NEVER be the right time to ask ANYTHING, and after school was crazy! I was always rushing around what with having to tutor and youth at church and cooking and everything.

12. NinjaNicole 04.11.2009

    Amanda went to my dance classes, she never really talked to us, she kept to herself. She hated being there, she was more of a tomboy. I did see a man drop her off once, maybe her dad? He seemed angry and very tense. It seemed like she doesn’t get along with him at all. That day he dropped her off she was a little more different than usual. She had a worried or sad expression, and sung to her self quietly for most of the lesson. On a normal day she would never talk, let alone sing. And i had never seen her worried or remotely sad, always just bored.
    Hope this helps?

13. katamarina 04.11.2009

    If Amanda did run away it probably wasn’t very far since the note says “I’m close…” She might not have run very far.

14. theresaax2 04.11.2009

    My take is maybe the reason she moved here in the first place could be some kind of horrible accident happened. She may have not caused it, but maybe witnessed it or could’ve avoided it in some way. Maybe somebody knew she knew and was blackmailing her, and then came back.

15. themidnighter 04.11.2009

    Maybe someone is tracking Amanda since the day she moved. Maybe she had a fight with someone back at home or something. But who will hate Amanda? I sat next to her one time at Social Studies she was really nice. Well she never really talk so much but she is very nice.

16. CupKate 04.11.2009

    Maybe the person who wrote that note isn’t trying to threaten her, but is trying to help her? Perhaps the person is trying to tell her they are close, and she should run to them for help?

17. eliza857 04.12.2009

    i’m thinking that cupkate is right and also kayleigh. Someone must be helping her and telling her to run away because someone is going to get her or something like that.

    I just hope she ran before anything had gotten to her!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

18. Hal Bennett 04.12.2009

    CupKate - I like the way you think.  It’s hard for us to think of things positively sometimes with all this weird stuff going on. So Callie, Nia and I all thought we were the only ones A trusted but obviously we didn’t know about each other. Is anyone else out there in the same boat?

19. DeeSweetsz 04.13.2009

    Maybe Amanda has powers. Like special sixth sense powers.. Maybe whoever sent the note is trying to get her to use her powers for the bad instead of the good. I mean think about it, it seemed like practically everyone liked her even though she had (for lack of a better word) odd habits. And crazy things seemed to happen around her. Like one time we were at the library and someone called and she got really upset. Then all these books just flew off the shelves. She tried to play it off as some kids running through the aisles and knocking them over but there were no kids. It was only us, the librarian and some people at a table a little bit away from us.

    Maybe the note writer wanted her to run because they like the thrill of the chase…

    i dont know.. did anyone else get a sixth sense vibe from Amanda?

20. noraorchid 04.13.2009

    hey—I actually just moved into a house thats across the street from where Amanda lives, and while i was outside trying to get the lay of the land i noticed her get out of a car a run really fast into her house….. the windows on the car were really tinted though so i wasnt able to see if the driver was a boy or a girl…..maybe it was just her mom or dad, but i dont really see them around alot and i wouldnt really know what to look for i guess cause ive only ever seen their backs or something like that, never their faces…......also i was wondering if anyone knos if Amanda has or had a boyfriend…was she maybe involved in a bad breakup??

21. FlyingAway 04.14.2009

    I saw that car too (since I live right near her. I guess you guys are the new neighbors- welcome.) but I could tell that it wasn’t Amanda. It DID look a lot like her though…

22. noraorchid 04.15.2009

    o ok i guess i had it wrong then (and hi to my new neighbor:) ) but it was def suspicious… sister?

23. FlyingAway 04.15.2009

    Maybe. I know that it was her and her mom, but I couldn’t figure out anything else about her family. I think that it might’ve been a sister or cousin.

24. noraorchid 04.15.2009

    huh…..we should find out more about her family…and also does anyone know about the note…...did she ever have a bad breakup or just a bad relationship with anyone that might want to get back at her for it?

25. Ioanna 04.16.2009

    noraorchid, though that may be the case, I have a feeling that this is probably a little bigger of an issue than a bad relationship… But knowing Amanda, its hard to know…Kewpie83, I’m kinda worried about her too..

26. noraorchid 04.16.2009

    yea true….....i totally agree im just trying to cover all the bases…...

27. lucyjojo 04.17.2009

    this is so confusing what r we suppose to be doing!!! like act like we r her friends

28. noraorchid 04.17.2009

    we’re just trying to figure out what happened and what we know…....like if youve seen anything…..or heard anything….....

29. Ioanna 04.19.2009

    lucyjojo-yep, pretty much.

30. courtz96 04.19.2009

    yeah i think maybe someone is trying to warn her or give her a threat. i want to know more

31. Rosie 04.19.2009

    Okay, the note was either A) a threat, or B) a lifeline for help. But personally, if I was gonna write someone a note saying I was there to help them, I wouldn’t make it sound so sinister… I mean really, how could it be a good note if it gave off such creepy vibes?? And if it was a good note, why is she missing?? So I think it was a threat or a warning of some sort. But the question still remains, Who wrote it??

    Hey, whoever saw the note… Did the writing look feminine? or did it look like guy’s writing??

32. kimberly 04.22.2009

    I think that it’s scary because, well if she wrote it then she’s a little scary, but even if she didn’t write it how did she get they obveously wither know where she lives or gave it to her themselves in which case it wouldn’t make sense…So yeah, what did the writing look like?

33. FlyingAway 04.23.2009

    Hey, has any one read their copy of the book yet? Because right now, I’m confused. I can’t even begin to think that the woman I thought was Amanda’s mom… I mean, she could be ANY ONE! What if she was in on the note (if it was a bad thing, not a good one) and some how got to Amanda. And I saw her constantly! We’ve had her over for DINNER!

    I feel so guilty right now.

    But also betrayed. It looks like Amanda didn’t trust any of us enough to actually TELL us any truth…

34. stef_stone 04.25.2009

    I know who the note is from.

35. noraorchid 04.26.2009

    WHO?????????????

36. PhysicsNerd 04.26.2009

    Perhaps this Amanda knows something she shouldn’t know. And now someone is out to get her. I think she’s been running from them for a long time, but they are getting closer.

37. noraorchid 04.26.2009

    and how do you know who wrote the note…..?????

38. stef_stone 05.13.2009

    I wrote this note to Amanda…

39. stef_stone 05.13.2009

    I’m Stefanie Stone and Amanda and I were best friends. We would always go to the vintage clothing shop together, and one day I saw a group of people following us around the town. After that, she always acted nervous around me until finally, she started ignoring me and ran away whenever I tried to talk to her. I got mad and wanted revenge, so I wrote her that note.

40. stef_stone 05.13.2009

    I didn’t know that Amanda would have such a big reaction to it. I meant it as a sort of joke, but as soon as she saw it she freaked out. I wonder who she thought it was from?

41. globalgirl 05.15.2009

    She might’ve thought it was someone else because she has something to hide?
    Amanda obviously didn’t tell anyone ANYTHING. I wonder if there’s anyone who knows the real truth behind all of this?
    I think I saw her this day, or the day before and she was already worried, so different than her usually bright, sparkly self. I mean, hello? She was usually always mischievous, right? We had a few classes together. But I remember once, we were on the school steps after break, and we were with Nicole M. , and she kept on teasing her somehow? As if she knew this menacing secret. Maybe she knew a lot of things, hidden from all her friends, and somebody just got sick of it someday? Which would explain why she would be worried, thinking it was someone else.

42. Natasha 08.01.2009

    Amanda never let anyone in on her panic. She shielded her emotions, just as she seemed to shield everything else possible. She had an enemy. Somewhere, Amanda had somebody who hated her so much that they wanted to kill her. Maybe that’s the reason behind why she never said much. SHe would talk, though, if you knew how to persuade her to. WHen i brought up the not, she dropped the conversation completely. It’s as tough she was in danger, and didn’t want help dealing with it.

43. Serenity 08.15.2009

    I think she might be in danger too. Maybe who ever wrote the note kidnapped her.

44. Lizziex25 08.18.2009

    You guys remember how Amanda would write down secrets then leave the paper wherever? Well maybe some found one of her secrets and is using it against her or she knew a secret about someone and they are angry that she left the paper around? idk. But either way the could be telling her to run to scare her you know? make her their puppet.

45. alicewriter13 08.30.2009

    DeeSweetsz’s has the right idea i think of someone wanting her to run for the thrill of the chase….that note never had good vibes… at all…

46. cobalt_flame 09.28.2009

    Maybe somebody she’d met on whatever crusade came before Orion wasn’t too appreciative of her original personality. Though obviously that person is whacked if that’s the case, but anything is possible. But who’d be ticked off at Amanda enough to try to come after her?

47. marisunga 10.10.2009

    Maybe she’s running away from an evil cult or something and that’s probably why she is always moving.

48. Milana 10.19.2009

    So the rumors were true…

49. Maddiemays 11.07.2009

    I think Callie’s mom wrote the message.  I also think Callie’s mom was the person who helped with the beautiful car decorating.  I think they both work for the government and so does the counselor,  but then again, that’s just me.

50. FindingMe<3 11.28.2009

    I was thinking that Callie’s mom wrote that note. But I thought she helped decorate Thornhill’s car. But why would she help, and then turn her back on Amanda? So I think the Callie’s mom decorated the car, but didn’t write that note. Callie’s mom isn’t bad, we know that for sure. It could be Heidi..? Or someone from Amanda’s past catching up to her, letting her know they know her secrets.

51. kitkat1112 01.17.2010

    i dont think its a threat…. im close- maybe someone telling her that theyre comin to help?... i know- someone saying that they know what happened to her in the past?....
    i suggest you run- someone is scared for her and is warning her to leave?
    i dont know but hearing what that note said gave me the heebie jeebies
    katie

52. PenPaper+Ink 02.06.2010

    Callie, that’s why she left. But maybe she’s leaving the clues to try and make your town what it’s rumored to be. There are all these hidden lies. think about it!

53. lindzkin 02.23.2010

    That’s creepy much. Someone obviously has a secret about Amanda and Amanda has a secret. SOmeone is trying to threaten her with that. Whoever is doing it knows something very dangerous for AMANDA TO BE SCARED.

54. trumpetgirl 03.07.2010

    Its weird the person would tell her to run? I think its a threat that is just that. A threat. Whoever wrote the note is probably trying to freak Amanda out so they can use her later. The note is still weird though.

55. Coupe 03.08.2010

    [Keep reading this does pertain to amanda] I learned one time that lions don’t roar when they hunt in the wild, they only roar when they are trying to scare enclosed domestic animals. they figured out that if they roar at animals inside a fence the prey will get so freaked out by the lion that they will actually jump out of that protective fence- right to the waiting lion.
    Mabey thats what the writer of the note wanted to happen to Amanda. Nobody can touch AV in school or hanging out with friends or vintage clothes shopping- but AV might have benn frightened so much she decided to leave orion. Of course she wouldn’t leave with anybody but herself so that would be the perfect time to get whatever they wanted out of AV.

56. Basil_H. 06.27.2010

    Coupe- exactly! Has Anyone considered the possibility that Amanda was/is in the Witness Protection Program? That could help explain why she was so quiet about things. Anything to get you in the WPP has to be traumatic, and she was probably almost always scared. The tinted windows on that car says secretive- maybe US Marshal secretive? The guy who dropped her a dance could have been a Marshal or something. Even if they were here to keep her safe, I doubt she enjoyed having them to remind her she’s different. I miss vintage clothes shopping with her! She was the kind of person who’d dress up as David Bowie with you, and enjoy it.

57. KristianaRose 10.24.2010

    It’s obviously from someone in her past. But just how far in the past? And anyway, who could possibly have anything against Amanda? I mean, I know some kids think she’s a freak, but they seriously don’t want to harm her do they? I think everyone who’s ever known or even seen Amanda can agree that she genuinely cares about people. So who would send her this note?

58. arvi777 11.21.2010

    okay. consider the note instead of from a enemy, mabye from a FRIEND. Mabye a friend is telling Amanda that he/she is close and he/she “knows” and warning her to run. in that case something would be terribly wrong and someone else IS looking out/knows about Amanda. hope its this rather than the alternative beause at least then shed have 1 more friend than one more enemy.

59. Dancing_Queen 12.10.2010

    I was correct about my first hunch about this person knowing Amanda well I suppose:)
    Hmm.. This is kinda of strange though:S It could mean two things..
    1. Its a threat
    2. Someone is trying to help her
    Her reaction seems to be more to number 1, but maybe someone is trying to help her except she wont let them in.

60. isadora 01.01.2011

    Who gave her the note? was it passed through the hand of somebody in class or is somebody in that class a total freak who wants to attack her?

61. cupcake9898 02.03.2011

    I think Amanda is in some real danger here. Someone may be out to get her, or something from her…maybe something she knows?

62. AmberDavis 02.24.2011

    Hal and CupKate might be right about the note being a warning from a friend.

    But I swear I really did see Thornhill when Amanda ran away.

63. Zylaar 06.23.2011

    Scary anonymous threat there, huh? Weird.
    Well, she obviously knew who it was from, if she didn’t she probably would’ve thrown it away, huh?
    Maybe it was the hand writing and she was the only one who could/can make sense of it. She’s so mysterious.

64. sagitarius13 01.04.2012

    hey um Callie?

    You said your mom let you stay home from school, but I thought you said your mom doesn’t live with you?

    Umm, was that a fail?
