Josie did it!!

At what I believe is the last trial, Peter knows now that he is going to be charged as guilty. He tells Jordan this and asks him if he can just tell his side of the story so they know what happened. Jordan agrees and as Peter speaks, some people realize what he was going through and are shocked to hear some of his answers.

Meanwhile, Patrick decides he must find what happened to that other bullet that was fired in the locker room. As he is driving to the school, he gets eerie memories of what happened the day of the shooting. As he walks around the school, his conscience seems to be telling him to look in the locker room. When Patrick goes in there, he starts positioning himself where he found Peter, Matt, and Josie and where they may have been standing before he came. As Josie "claims", Matt picked up Gun B and tried to shoot Peter but he missed and so Peter shot Matt. To Patrick though, he thinks Josie is lying and I kind of do too. It's not possible for Matt to have shot a gun and then be lying on the other side of the locker room dead. Suddenly, it all clicks when Patrick finds a bullet by the shower stalls, coming from Josie's direction.

Back at the courthouse, Josie is called up as a witness. She decides it's time to tell the truth and so she tell the judge that when her, Peter, and Matt were in the locker room. Josie shot Matt first and then Peter did in the head. I can't believe it!! I never would of thought Josie would of killed Matt. I thought he could of shot himself or Peter did using two guns, but not Josie! All of a sudden, the courtroom is a buzz as the truth comes out.

The end of the book closes with the author writing that Peter committed suicide in the prison cell using a sock. Then, Patrick and Alex are described as walking through Sterling High School five months later and Alex is pregnant.

Wow. This book had a very twisted ending with lots of surprises I never would of guessed.
