1) Julie, Ray, Helen, and Barry are four close friends, Julie and Ray being a couple and Barry and Helen also being one. Being high school students, they went late one night up to a clearing in the forest to hang out. When driving home, they had been a little drunk and were still kissing, they ran over a ten year old kid, David Gregg, who was riding a bicycle. Ray had been driving. The four kept driving until they reached a telephone, where an anonymous ambulance was called for help for the child. The four formed a pact as to keep the incident between them and not to anyone else. Julie and Ray had been against it, but agreed and made it. After that happened, Julie and Ray isolated themselves from the rest of the group. Julie, normally a highly school activity involved social girl, turned to studying and working hard for her senior year, having a new boyfriend named Bud. Ray totally fled the scene, moving to be carefree in California for a year. Helen and Barry remained a couple, Barry going to the local University and Helen being the channel 5 Golden Girl, or weather reporter. The real plot of the story begins with Julie receiving a note at home simply stating: “I know what you did last summer.” She gets upset over it and after not talking to her for a year since the incident, calls Helen to talk to her. Helen arranges a meeting for the three, but they all convince each other that it was just a kid pulling a prank. That blows over until Ray finally shows up, and upon finding an apartment, is mailed the article about the incident. Ray and Julie take a drive to talk about the note and article, and Julie convinces Ray to take her to see Davids parents. Not confess, just meet and ask about. They arrived at the house and rung the doorbell a few times, only to meet Megan, the sister of David. She told Julie, while Ray was off “calling for help for their car”, that Davids mother was put in a hospital due to an unstable mental state, her father staying by her side. Her older brother was off and out of the house. Anyway, as they left, Ray notes that Megan was hanging up mens shirts to dry and the houses paint looked fairly new – and in places that Megan, who was short, couldnt reach, even with a ladder. Over time, Helen met a man named Collin and becomes friends with him and finds a magazine in one of her drawers, with a picture of a kid on a bicycle. Barry is suspiciously shot in the stomach, after receiving a phone call at his fraternity house from a suspicious person. He was told to meet this person outside, and upon leaving, was shot in the stomach, the bullet lodging almost to his spine. The shot wasnt heard, due to firecrackers celebrating a holiday. When he arrives at the hospital, he tells his father that it was Helen who called. Helen rushes to the hospital with a ride from Collin when she finds out, and is accused of calling, and is promptly shunned from Barrys family. The next day, Ray meets up with Bud and is invited to lunch with him. They talk, ending up with Bud telling Ray that he has no chance to get back together with Julie. The same day, Ray sneaks into Barrys room (only immediate family members being allowed in) and talks to him. Turns out that it wasnt Helen that called, but some other girl that he had been dating. Or so he said. It had actually been a call from an unknown person saying they had pictures of the accident and would sell them to the police if Barry didnt meet up with him. Barry convinces Ray that it was a robbery, so Ray tells the two girls that. Well, Helen was out at night after hearing that and was at the pool, where she met Collin and was promptly chewed out by him for no reason. Collin left, and Helen stayed with some of the other people to forget what just happened. Upon returning to her room, she finds Collin had
