PROVIDENCE ACADEMY
The next day, the academy boarding school students are in the hallway, talking about the junior prom.
I'm at my locker, putting my backpack inside. I spot Drake Pierson and he slowly walks up to Alyssa at her locker.
"Alyssa? I wanted to apologize." Drake apologized.
And instead of accepting Drake's apology, Alyssa slaps him, drawing attention from the Beckett Crew and other boarding school students.
"Get the hell away from me, you pathetic scumbag jackass?!" Alyssa exclaimed to him.
Drake looks at Alyssa with a bewildered expression on her face. "What the hell? I just wanted to apologize to you."
"You can shove your apology up on your ass." Alyssa said.
"Screw you, bitch." Drake said with an aggravated expression on his face.
Suddenly, Grayson grabs Drake away from Alyssa and punches him in his face.
Drake looks at Grayson and tackles him onto the floor and the two young adult boys starts fighting on the floor, exchanging punches.
Sebastian, Fen and the Sabertooth Sabers scurries up to Grayson and Drake and pulls them apart from each other.
"You don't want to go back to the juvenile detention center, don't you, Grayson?" Drake taunted.
"Go to hell, Drake?!" Grayson exclaimed.
And then, I step in, trying to cease the tension.
"Drake, you need to leave." I tell Drake.
Drake and I exchange tense looks at each other and he glances at Grayson and he walks away.
I look at both Alyssa and Grayson. They looks at me. And we exchange nods at each other.

ARTS AND CRAFTS ROOM
After the commotion, Grayson, Roxy and I are in the arts and crafts room.
Grayson and Roxy are sitting on a couch. She's attending to her boyfriend's, Grayson's, bruised cheekbone and bottom lip with a washcloth.
I'm sitting atop the table with my arms folded.
"You shouldn't have confronted Drake like that, Gray. What the hell were you even thinking?" Roxy asked.
"When I saw Drake, I just got upset." Grayson said.
"Grayson, you can't go back to the juvenile detention center again. You have to get a grip on your temper and your anger management." I said to him with my arms folded.
"I know, I know." Grayson said.
"And you can't let Drake get to you like that either." I said to him.
"I know that too, Catty." Grayson said.
"Do you?" I asked.
Grayson gives me a look and I give him one right back at him, which Roxy notices.
"Catty? Ease up on Grayson." Roxy said, defending her boyfriend.
"Sorry." I apologized.
"What do we do now?" Roxy asked.
"Well, my Dad is helping my Mom with her case involving The Red Mask, so, I guess the only thing left to do is to just focus on our junior prom." I said.
"Yeah, I agree." Roxy agreed.
Grayson, Roxy and I exchange calm looks at each other.

Later that day, outside of the arts and crafts room, I'm putting up some more canvas paintings on the display wall.
Jade Ester slowly walks up next to me. "Will you be at the junior prom?"
I just look at her. "I'm not surprised that you're even going, considering what you did the last time, spiking the margarita punch bowl with the drug, Spice Jangle."
Jade rolls her eyes, annoyed, with a scoff. "Oh my gosh, that was so long ago, can we just move on from that?"
"People could've died from the seizures, but obviously, you don't give a damn because you're a sociopath who likes to cause mischievous mischief." I tell her.
"Get off your high horse, Catty. You're not the sweet little sunshine good girl that everyone thinks you are, you're nothing but a girl with emotional damage baggage." Jade tells me.
"At least, I'm not a sociopathic crazy bitch that gets pissed off when she doesn't gets her way." I tell her.
Jade and I exchange tense looks at each other. I glance at her left bleeding thigh.
"What happened to your thigh?" I asked her.
"Nothing." Jade said and walks away.
I think to myself and remembers when I shot a bullet into the same left thigh as Jade's.
Could she be The Red Mask?
🔵🔵
Back inside the Arts and Crafts room, I'm sitting at a canvas easel, painting on a canvas.
Alyssa slowly walks inside and looks at my canvas painting, which are two apples. One red and one green.
"Nice apples." Alyssa complimented.
I glance at Alyssa. "Hey, Aly."
"Cane is taking me to the junior prom." Alyssa said, gently sits atop the table.
"Cane Garette as in "Fen and Cane the class clown duo?" I said.
"Yep." Alyssa said.
"What was your answer when Cane asked you to be his junior prom date?" I asked her.
"At first, I thought Cane was kidding, but then, I realized he wasn't and so, I said " 'okay.' " Alyssa said.
"Okay, then." I said. "How's your grandmother Dina?"
"She's doing fine, thanks for asking." Alyssa replied with a small smile. "And to tell you, my grandma has a safe with a money in it."
"Your grandmother told you this?" I asked her.
"She did while we were baking oatmeal cookies. But she told me, not my divorced parents." Alyssa said.
"Your grandmother Dina has been saving money for you?" I asked her.
"Yeah, she told me herself. I don't know how much, but she has kept in her safe with a passcode." Alyssa said.
"I don't want to assume it, Aly, but are you sure that your divorce parents doesn't know about your grandmother Dina's secret safe?" I said.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Alyssa said.
"Okay." I said.

BECKETT HOUSE
Later that afternoon, I'm in my room, sitting on my bed, playing on my Nintendo DS.
My Dad gently knocks on the door. "Hi, Carmina."
I glance up at him. "Hey, Dad."
"Would you like to come to the garage with me? I have a surprise for you." My Dad said.
"Really?" I said.
"Yeah, really." My Dad said.
shortly after . . .
My Dad and I walks inside the garage where he gently pulls off a sheet of cloth from a vehicle.
It's a '54 Red Nash Metropolitan car.
"Who's car?" I asked.
"Yours." My Dad told me.
My Dad and I exchange small smiles at each other and I look surprised.
"I went to visit Fen's Dad at his car dealership. You wanted a Porsche, but I traded it for the '54 Nash Metropolitan car." My Dad said. "What do you think?"
"I like it." I tell him. "I wanted to get it myself."
"I know, you've been saving money in your savings account, but I wanted to get this car as a gift." My Dad said.
I hug my Dad and he hugs me back.
"Thanks, Dad." I said to him.
"You're welcome, Catty." My Dad said to me.

PROVIDENCE ACADEMY -- SCHOOL GYMNASIUM
[Song: Dance The Night Away - Dua Lipa]
Later that evening, the academy boarding school students are at the junior prom.
Everyone is enjoying themselves either dancing or just mingling with each other.
Leigh Ann, Sasha and I are dancing together, exchanging playful laughter with each other.
Leigh Ann takes out her phone and holds it up for a selfie. "Say "junior prom".
"Junior prom." Me and Sasha said in unison
And Leigh Ann takes the selfie.
Sebastian slowly up to us, wearing a formal tieless suit. "Mind if I borrow CP?"
"Yeah, sure." Sasha said.
Leigh Ann and Sasha walks away.
Sebastian and I exchange small smiles at each other.
[Song: Afterlife - Hailee Steinfield]
Sebastian and I slow-dances together. He gently wraps an arm around my waist. I gently put my hand on his shoulder and we gently holds each other's hands.
"You look amazing." Sebastian complimented me with a small smile.
"Thanks." I said to him. "You look handsome yourself, Sebastian."
"Thanks." Sebastian said.
"And not to ruin the prom mood, but when I shot a bullet into The Red Mask's left thigh, Jade has the same injury." I tell him.
"So, you think that Jade is The Red Mask serial killer?" Sebastian asked.
"Yeah, and maybe, she's not alone with her serial killer." I said.
"What are you saying? That Jade isn't the only Red Mask?" Sebastian asked.
"That's exactly what I'm saying." I said to him. "And I have a bad feeling about something."
Sebastian and I exchange worried looks at each other.
[Song ends]
Suddenly, the ceiling lights goes off, causing everyone to stop slow-dancing and looks around, murmuring amongst themselves.
"What the hell?" Sebastian asked.
And suddenly, the ceiling lights turns back on, revealing The Red Mask in the middle of the gym floor.
Everyone backs away, looking at The Red Mask.
Sheriff Peter Beckett and Special Agent Fern Beckett slowly walks up to The Red Mask.
"Get on your knees right now." Special Agent Fern said.
The Red Mask gently gets down on their knees.
"Unmask yourself." Sheriff Peter said.
The Red Mask gently takes their hoodie off their cloak and takes off their red ghostface mask.
It's Jade Ester with a sly grin.
"Jade?" Special Agent Fern said.
"What's up, Fern?" Jade said.
Suddenly, two more Red Mask comes out of nowhere and tackles both Sheriff Peter and Special Agent Fern onto the floor.
"Mom? Dad?" I said, worried.
Jade looks at me and I look at her. She points her pistol at my parents.
I run to her and tackles her onto the floor. She and I exchange punches to each other's faces and I apply pressure on her left thigh injury, causing her to yelp out in pain.
My Mom and Dad gets an upper hand and reveals the other two Red Mask as Mr. and Mrs. Ester, Jade's parents.
Jade and I fight over the pistol. She aims it at me, I aim at her and the pistol is between us and it shoots off with a bang, causing everyone to be shock.
"Oh my gosh." Leigh Ann said, worried.
Jade and I exchange looks at each other, pondering who got shot.
