     In school there is this math teacher and he is very mean. His name is Mr. Crowell. So they break into his house and for the fun of it they move things around. Then when Mr. Crowell came home they rushed out the back door.
     When Diane gets home she gets a creepy phone call. After that, her ex boyfriend calls trying to have her take him back.
     The next day she was so creeped out and scared at school that she was kept in after class by Mr. Crowell. He wondered if Diana had her work done at school and was wondering if she needed help on her project.
The next day Diana and her friends go to the mountains. Spencer and Lenny get into a fight over Diana. Then next day Diana and her friends have a snowball fight. Jordan and Lenny bury Spencer in the snow and they leave him there.
     Diana gets attacked by Bryan when she gets home. Cassie comes over to Diana’s house, followed by Lenny with a note that was found on their porch. Spencer has the same note on his porch. They were so freaked out.
Lenny gets into a fight with Mr. Crowell. So they are going to play another night game. This time Lenny brings a spray can. When Cassie opens the closet door, she finds Mr. Crowell . . . dead!
     The next morning the police find Mr. Crowell. They think someone scared him to death. Diana stays home sick. She feels guilty because she left her friends to go to the memorial. She finds a note on her porch that says, “You die next.”
     Cassie and Lenny get the same notes. Diana, Lenny, and Cassie go to find Jordan and Bryan. Diana thinks Jordan is guilty of the calls and the notes, but Jordan did not do it. So they go to Spencer’s house. Spencer turns out to be a living ghost. Diana killed Spencer with love and Spencer now kills Diana. Now Diana is a living dead.
