0:00:03 0:00:06
Excuse me, please. Thank you. Just coming through, sorry.

0:00:06 0:00:10

1. That they're going to be there with me now... #

0:00:10 0:00:13
Excuse me, sorry, thanks.

0:00:13 0:00:15
OK. Excuse me, can I just get through, please? Thank you.

0:00:15 0:00:18

1. Tomorrow we'll still be my besties and me. #

0:00:18 0:00:21
Whoo! Yeah! OK, let's give it up for the Spitfire Kittens!

0:00:21 0:00:23
CHEERING Yeah!

0:00:23 0:00:26
They're going to take a short break,

0:00:26 0:00:27
but they'll be right back after an emergency meeting.

0:00:27 0:00:30
Everyone on the prom committee meet back stage, immediately.

0:00:30 0:00:33
-Shari!

-Yeah, you too, Eve. I know you're on the committee.

0:00:33 0:00:36
What's all this about, Shari?

0:00:38 0:00:40
In case you haven't noticed, there's a prom going on in there.

0:00:40 0:00:43
I know. And there's also been a series of murders.

0:00:43 0:00:46
THEY GASP

0:00:46 0:00:48
She means of Dixi pages.

0:00:48 0:00:50
That's right! And the killer is in this room.

0:00:50 0:00:54
-What?

-At first I thought it was Chloe just being mean.

0:00:54 0:00:57
I'm sorry, but you are.

0:00:57 0:00:58
No, it's true. I am.

0:00:58 0:01:00
But after Chloe was hacked, Mimi stepped in and did what

0:01:00 0:01:04
she always does, copied her for attention.

0:01:04 0:01:07
-Mimi admitted everything last week.

-I'm coming to that.

0:01:07 0:01:09
I followed a trail that led from Mimi to Newspace

0:01:09 0:01:12
to Game of Pones to my brother's stolen dagger of awesome.

0:01:12 0:01:16
Ruby dagger with the cobra handle.

0:01:16 0:01:18
Whatever! It was a dead end.

0:01:18 0:01:20
But waiting in the shadows was Murdo, always so keen to help.

0:01:20 0:01:25
Was it all just a plot to get a date to the prom?

0:01:25 0:01:27
Give it up, Shari. I'm sorry, but I never wanted to go with you.

0:01:27 0:01:31
-I've got a date.

-I know. And once you'd flagged my posts as abusive...

0:01:31 0:01:34
They were abusive.

0:01:34 0:01:36
..I got called into Miss Johnson's office,

0:01:36 0:01:38
our internet safety officer, whose job was at risk from cuts.

0:01:38 0:01:42
Could she have done all this just to show how important her job is?

0:01:42 0:01:45
But her browser history was clean.

0:01:45 0:01:47
-You checked my browser history?!

-Never mind about that!

0:01:47 0:01:51
But by this point, I'd suspected everyone.

0:01:51 0:01:54
Even you, Isla.

0:01:54 0:01:56
-I mean, was your whole kooky, clueless thing just an act?

-When?

0:01:56 0:02:00
But then I saw that there were two other people who had the opportunity.

0:02:00 0:02:05
Zane, I so didn't want it to be you,

0:02:05 0:02:09
but there was too much that pointed to you -

0:02:09 0:02:11
the CCTV footage, the poster at the print shop,

0:02:11 0:02:15
and you were in the computer room

0:02:15 0:02:16
when I got that message telling me to back off.

0:02:16 0:02:19
And then...

0:02:19 0:02:20
there's Eve.

0:02:20 0:02:22
The last person that I would ever suspect, my best friend.

0:02:22 0:02:26
My bestie since reception, since forever.

0:02:26 0:02:31
You have been there for me no matter what.

0:02:31 0:02:35
Like a sister, only better.

0:02:35 0:02:39
But you lied to me.

0:02:39 0:02:41
You weren't at your dad's the other weekend,

0:02:41 0:02:43
you were with Murdo working on the tech specs for prom.

0:02:43 0:02:47
I'd been all anti-prom,

0:02:47 0:02:48
so I thought I'd look stupid if people knew I'd changed my mind.

0:02:48 0:02:51
What did change your mind? It was Murdo, wasn't it?

0:02:51 0:02:54
You joined the prom committee so you could spend time with him.

0:02:54 0:02:57
You friendzoned him in year seven,

0:02:57 0:02:59
but when you thought he was going to ask me out...

0:02:59 0:03:01
-I never wanted to ask you out.

-..you realised that you needed

0:03:01 0:03:04
to make your move.

0:03:04 0:03:05
Shari, it's true about me liking Murdo and yes,

0:03:05 0:03:10
I asked him out, but I would never hack your Dixi.

0:03:10 0:03:14
I know, we're besties.

0:03:14 0:03:17
How could you even suspect me in the first place?

0:03:18 0:03:22
Because I was obsessed.

0:03:22 0:03:24
You saw how even after Mimi confessed, I couldn't let it go.

0:03:24 0:03:28
I thought you were being all like, look at me, as always.

0:03:28 0:03:31
Yeah, that's what it was. I just wanted the attention.

0:03:31 0:03:34
I can't help it.

0:03:34 0:03:35
Not this time.

0:03:35 0:03:37
You were covering for someone.

0:03:37 0:03:39
After I found out Eve had lied to me, I went to her house.

0:03:39 0:03:42
I had to know the truth.

0:03:42 0:03:43
Then I saw this.

0:03:45 0:03:46
This is the original, before someone added my face to it.

0:03:48 0:03:52
This is what the killer used to make that horrible poster of me.

0:03:52 0:03:56
And there's a name next to the number and that name is...

0:03:56 0:03:59
-No, stop!

-I'm sorry, Mimi, but everyone has to know the truth.

0:03:59 0:04:03
The name on the poster...

0:04:03 0:04:06
is Lana.

0:04:06 0:04:08
THEY GASP

0:04:08 0:04:10
You can't just go around accusing my mum.

0:04:10 0:04:13
Shari, apologise at once!

0:04:13 0:04:15
I am so sorry, Mrs Hastings. Shari, outside, now!

0:04:15 0:04:19
-But it's her, she's the one...

-Enough, Shari!

0:04:19 0:04:21
No, why? That's all I want to know, why? What've I ever done to you?!

0:04:21 0:04:26
I've never done anything!

0:04:26 0:04:27
Haven't you?

0:04:27 0:04:29
Mum, don't say anything without a lawyer or

0:04:29 0:04:31
someone from the student council.

0:04:31 0:04:32
You might not have done anything to me, but I saw how you made

0:04:32 0:04:35
Mimi feel when you tagged her as "Me Too Mimi" on Dixi.

0:04:35 0:04:38
That was just a joke.

0:04:38 0:04:40
It's always a joke when it's someone else.

0:04:40 0:04:43
I wanted you to see how it felt.

0:04:43 0:04:45
Well, it felt horrible.

0:04:45 0:04:47
And not just you, Chloe too.

0:04:47 0:04:49
The way you treat Mimi like she's your pet.

0:04:49 0:04:51
She likes it. She can't cope in the wild.

0:04:51 0:04:54
No, Chloe, I don't like it.

0:04:54 0:04:57
Not really. I just put up with it as a price of being your friend.

0:04:57 0:05:01
Then it got out of hand.

0:05:01 0:05:04
I hacked Zane because I was worried he'd trace the message

0:05:04 0:05:07
I sent asking about hacking.

0:05:07 0:05:09
I sent you the virus cos I thought you were getting too close.

0:05:09 0:05:12
You were acting like you thought you were better than everyone.

0:05:12 0:05:15
Better than Mimi. I was angry. It was like being back at school

0:05:15 0:05:18
and if there's one thing I learnt there, it's how to put people down.

0:05:18 0:05:21
Mum, stop!

0:05:21 0:05:23
You can't re-fight your school battles through me.

0:05:23 0:05:27
School's out for you.

0:05:27 0:05:29
This is my life.

0:05:29 0:05:31
I'm sorry.

0:05:32 0:05:34
You'd better come with me, Mrs Hastings,

0:05:34 0:05:36
I think we need to have a little chat.

0:05:36 0:05:39
So, what now?

0:05:42 0:05:44
I'm not sure.

0:05:45 0:05:48
I hadn't really thought past this point.

0:05:48 0:05:51
I know what we should do.

0:05:51 0:05:53
We should all go in and enjoy the rest of our prom.

0:05:54 0:05:58

1. Don't question my besties and me

0:05:58 0:06:01

1. About as close we can be

0:06:01 0:06:03

1. We tell each other everything

0:06:03 0:06:05

1. And I mean everything

0:06:05 0:06:07

1. Don't mention my besties and me

0:06:07 0:06:10

1. We're not afraid to have a dream

0:06:10 0:06:12

1. And if we fail or we succeed

0:06:12 0:06:14

1. We do it as well

0:06:14 0:06:16

1. F-f-falling in

0:06:16 0:06:18

1. F-f-falling out

0:06:18 0:06:20

1. Well, you know that I'm never in doubt

0:06:20 0:06:23

1. That they're going to be there anyhow

0:06:23 0:06:25

1. F-f-falling in

0:06:25 0:06:27

1. F-f-falling out

0:06:27 0:06:29

1. But tomorrow we'll still be

0:06:29 0:06:32

1. My besties and me. #

0:06:32 0:06:34
And, just like that, it was all over.

0:06:34 0:06:36
Case closed.

0:06:36 0:06:38
Syd cleaned off that virus for me, so, yay, laptop, lols!

0:06:38 0:06:42
And Lana did send us all our changed passwords,

0:06:42 0:06:45
so I can leave this account and go back to my other one.

0:06:45 0:06:49
And, yes, I did change my password and my privacy settings.

0:06:49 0:06:53
Speaking of setting things...

0:06:53 0:06:57
So everything's back to how it was.

0:06:57 0:07:00
Wait...

0:07:00 0:07:02
Not exactly.

0:07:02 0:07:03
Syd started dating Chloe, which is kind of weird.

0:07:03 0:07:08
Eve and Murdo are finally out of the friendzone.

0:07:08 0:07:12
Miss Johnson's job is safe because she's running internet safety

0:07:12 0:07:16
and responsibility classes for parents.

0:07:16 0:07:19
And her first pupil is Lana.

0:07:19 0:07:21
..will have consequences.

0:07:21 0:07:23
When people heard it was all Mimi's mum,

0:07:23 0:07:26
she really did become the centre of attention for once.

0:07:26 0:07:30
But you know what?

0:07:30 0:07:32
I'm not saying what Lana did was right, but she did have a point.

0:07:32 0:07:37
I was mean to Mimi sometimes.

0:07:38 0:07:41
I didn't realise what I posted would hurt her feelings.

0:07:41 0:07:44
But we're hanging out tonight, with Isla and Eve,

0:07:44 0:07:47
and we'll finally have that movie marathon.

0:07:47 0:07:50
We're all kind of friends now.

0:07:50 0:07:53
Isla's even posted a song about it.

0:07:54 0:07:56
And that's everything.

0:07:58 0:08:00
Well, apart from...

0:08:00 0:08:02
But that's another page.

0:08:05 0:08:07
Oh, that reminds me, I started one of those Dixi things too.

0:08:07 0:08:10
Now, how do I upload your baby photos?

0:08:10 0:08:13

1. So I went online today cos I had some stuff to say

0:08:18 0:08:22

1. Saw a thread that messed my head Logged off instead and ran away

0:08:22 0:08:25

1. They said I'm not all that They said that I'm too fat

0:08:25 0:08:28

1. I'm a waste of space I'm an ugly face

0:08:28 0:08:31

1. So thank you, trolls, for that

0:08:31 0:08:33

1. Haters, we're sick of you and your twisted point of view

0:08:33 0:08:36

1. Your spelling's pretty rubbish too but still we only wish we knew

0:08:36 0:08:39

1. Why is it you hate yourself? Why is it you slate yourself?

0:08:39 0:08:43

1. Cos the poison that you chat just proves that you don't rate yourself

0:08:43 0:08:47

1. You say I'm lame and yes I guess I'll get upset

0:08:47 0:08:53

1. Just cos it feels like disrespect

0:08:53 0:08:56

1. Not cos it's actually correct

0:08:56 0:09:00

1. And the words that we say are real life

0:09:02 0:09:06

1. No matter where we say them

0:09:06 0:09:09

1. And the games that we play are real life

0:09:09 0:09:13

1. No matter where we're playing them

0:09:13 0:09:16

1. And the feelings we feel are real life ones as well

0:09:16 0:09:22

1. If you can't say it's OK and say it with some certainty

0:09:22 0:09:26

1. Don't say it to me virtually Wouldn't do it IRL

0:09:26 0:09:30

1. Those selfies that you take show a bit more than your face

0:09:37 0:09:40

1. Sent into cyberspace Won't disappear without a trace

0:09:40 0:09:44

1. When you've learned to respect yourself

0:09:44 0:09:46

1. Learn to protect yourself

0:09:46 0:09:48

1. Still there for your kids to click and that ain't going to go down well

0:09:48 0:09:52

1. Say you're OK that you're doing your own thing

0:09:52 0:09:57

1. Then be happy in your skin

0:09:57 0:10:01

1. Not cos some website says you're thin

0:10:01 0:10:05

1. And the words that we say are real life

0:10:07 0:10:10

1. No matter where we say them

0:10:10 0:10:13

1. And the games that we play are real life

0:10:13 0:10:17

1. No matter where we're playing them

0:10:17 0:10:21

1. And the feelings we feel are real life ones as well

0:10:21 0:10:27

1. If you can't say it's OK and say it with some certainty

0:10:27 0:10:30

1. Don't say it to me virtually Wouldn't do it IRL

0:10:30 0:10:35

1. And they words that we say are real life

0:10:35 0:10:39

1. No matter where we say them

0:10:39 0:10:42

1. And the games that we play are real life

0:10:42 0:10:46

1. No matter where we're playing them

0:10:46 0:10:50

1. And the feelings we feel are real life ones as well

0:10:50 0:10:56

1. If you can't say it's OK and say it with some certainty

0:10:56 0:10:59

1. Don't say it to me virtually Wouldn't do it IRL. #
