Somebody has lost their mind,” she groaned.
    â€œIf this is housekeeping, they are going to get a piece of my mind,” I said, stomping toward the door. “Who is it?” I snapped.
    â€œIt’s Shay! Open the door!” she screamed.
    â€œShay?” I looked out the peephole and Shay was on the other side, looking frantic. “What?” I said, swinging the door open.
    â€œHave you all heard from Evian?” she said.
    â€œWhy would we have heard from Evian?” Sheridan asked, appearing beside me.
    â€œShe still hasn’t come back to the room.”
    â€œWhat?” I replied.
    â€œMaybe it’s like Carson said,” Kennedi replied. “Maybe she’s somewhere getting her freak on.”
    â€œNot with a total stranger,” Shay said, brushing past us and into the room. “Evian doesn’t get down like that. I’m worried and then you know the chaperones are going to come looking for her at breakfast.”
    â€œPlease,” I said. I wasn’t about to stress over the chaperones. “They’re trying to have a good time themselves. They aren’t the least bit worried about us.”
    Shay started pacing back and forth across the living room. “This is serious, Maya. I’m worried that something has really happened to Evian. If she didn’t come back to the room, that means she still has on the same clothes, she hasn’t brushed her teeth or anything.”
    That actually made me pause because Evian was obsessive about her hygiene.
    â€œMaybe she found a convenience store,” Sheridan said. Even she was starting to look a little nervous.
    â€œHow could she when I have her purse?” Shay replied. She was shaking as she kept pacing. “You guys need to help me find her.”
    I looked at Shay like she was crazy. “It’s six in the morning.”
    â€œI don’t care what time it is,” Shay said. “You guys need to come help me look.”
    â€œWhy do we need to help you do anything?” I asked. It’s not like Shay or Evian even liked me anyway, so I don’t know why she thought I would drop everything to help.
    Shay glared at me. “Because you were the one pushing her to play this stupid truth-or-dare game.”
    I blinked in shock. I hoped she wasn’t about to try and blame Evian’s disappearance on me. I hadn’t put a gun to that girl’s head and made her participate.
    â€œTell me this, Miss Superstar,” Shay said, stepping toward me. “Have you ever heard of Natalee Holloway?”
    That shut me up. Because I knew all about the girl who had gone missing in Aruba during her senior trip.
    â€œWho is Natalee Holloway?” Sheridan asked.
    Shay rolled her eyes like Sheridan was some kind of doofus. “The chick that went on her senior trip in Acapulco and was never seen again.”
    â€œIt was Aruba,” I said, correcting her.
    â€œWhatever,” Shay said, side-eying me. “My point is she came up missing!”
    â€œOh yeah, I remember that,” Kennedi said. “Didn’t they find her body or something? Some local dudes killed her?”
    â€œExactly,” Shay said, turning back to me. “What if something happened to Evian? Do you want that on your conscience? You want your stupid show sued behind this?”
    Of course I didn’t, and I dang sure didn’t want Rumor Central tied to any of this.
    â€œI’m sure Evian is fine,” I said.
    â€œAnd you know this how?” Shay snapped. She seemed really agitated, like she’d been up all night worrying about Evian.
    â€œWhat do you expect us to do?” Kennedi said.
    â€œI don’t know, go find your little boyfriend that hooked this stupid game up and make him help us,” Shay responded.
    â€œHe’s not my boyfriend. Matter of fact, I have nothing to say to him,” I replied.
    â€œWell, you’d better find something to say. We need
