In 2008, the halls of Eastwood High echoed with laughter and chatter as students planned for the upcoming senior prank day. Among them was Andy, a lively girl known for her infectious laughter and love for school activities.

Andy and her friends spent hours brainstorming pranks. Little did they know that their enthusiasm would lead to an unforeseen tragedy.

A week after the prank day, a chilling discovery was made. Andy's car was found submerged in the nearby lake, her lifeless body in the trunk.

The news rocked Eastwood High. The senior prank day was immediately canceled, the campsite was abandoned, and the lake became a grim reminder of the tragedy.

Fast forward three years to 2011. A group of curious Eastwood High students decided to revisit the campsite and the lake. Among them were Vienna and Axel.

Vienna, Axel, and their friends hoped to uncover the truth about Andy's death, maybe even bring back the senior prank day. They had no idea what awaited them.

They started their investigation by visiting the spot where Andy's car was found. The once lively campsite was now eerily silent, the lake reflecting their anxious faces.

As they delved deeper into the case, they uncovered unsettling details about Andy's death. However, they remained undeterred, resolute in their mission to find the truth.

Late one night, as they were huddled around their campfire discussing the case, they heard a rustling in the bushes. Suddenly, their friend Luke was gone.

One by one, their friends started disappearing. Panic set in, but Vienna and Axel refused to leave. They were determined to face the danger head-on.

Eventually, it was just Vienna and Axel left. They decided to confront the killer at the lake, where it all started. Their hearts pounded as they approached the water's edge.

As they stood by the lake, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was their old gym teacher, Mr. Henderson. He was the last person they expected to see.

Mr. Henderson confessed to the murder. He had been in love with Andy and killed her in a fit of rage when she rejected him. The revelation left Vienna and Axel stunned.

As Mr. Henderson advanced towards them, Vienna and Axel acted quickly. They tackled him to the ground, disarming him before he could harm them.

With Mr. Henderson subdued, Vienna and Axel called the police. They waited by the lake until the sirens echoed through the night, signaling the end of their ordeal.

Their bravery brought justice for Andy and closure for her friends and family. The lake, once a symbol of tragedy, was now a symbol of justice and resilience.

Despite their terrifying experience, Vienna and Axel returned to school with a newfound respect for life. They remembered their friends, promising to honor their memory.

In the end, they had solved Andy's case and, in doing so, found their own strength. The legacy of their courage will forever echo in the halls of Eastwood High.
