Instead, Kara finds herself drawn to a friendship with Romilly,

Kara hangs around with Romilly, the more unsettling things start

to happen. There's the break in to her locker... the silent cold

calls... and more. But can Kara be sure it's Romilly who is derailing

her life?

One thing is for sure. Someone is targeting Kara, and if she doesn't

work out why, who knows what they will do next ...
