The Story:
At Bayview High, Bronwyn, Simon, Nate, Cooper, and Addy attend detention with teacher Mr. Avery after he found mobile phones in each of their school bags, against the high school's no-phone policy. However, each of the students claims that the phones are not theirs and that someone played a prank on them. They hear a collision in the school parking lot, and Mr. Avery leaves to investigate. Simon—creator of the 'About That' gossip app in which the personal lives of students at Bayview High are posted for the rest of the school to see—begins a speech about the stereotypical personalities of the other four students and how he, through his app, is the omniscient narrator. He drinks water from a plastic cup and suffers a fatal allergic reaction due to his peanut allergy. The others attempt to help, but it is too late and Simon dies in the hospital.
Initially, the incident is considered an accident, but after a Tumblr post claiming that Simon's death was planned and the killer watched him die is shared, the police begin to investigate and find an unpublished post by Simon that features the secrets of the other four students.
At school, Detective Wheeler is permitted to search the lockers belonging to Addy, Cooper, Bronwyn, and Nate. After finding a substance containing peanut oil in Addy's locker, Wheeler confirms that the four students are now suspects in a murder investigation.
The Characters:
Simon Kelleher - The Victim. Self-proclaimed omniscient narrator and creator of About That, the gossip app revolving around the students of the fictional American high school, Bayview High. He is noted to suffer from depression. The rumors and secrets told in his app are what implicate the others in detention as suspects for his murder.
Bronwyn Rojas - Detention Student. Is an overachiever and Yale-hopeful from a well-to-do family who are also Ivy League graduates. She is a member, and often founder, of several after-school clubs. Her primary secret is she cheated on her chemistry test in order to maintain her straight-A status, which she fears will impact her college dreams.
Nathaniel Macauley - Detention Student. Is a 'bad boy' who is on probation for selling drugs. He lives with his alcoholic father after his unpredictable, drug-addicted mother left and supposedly died several years ago. Their primary source of income is from a disability allowance after his father's work injury and is the reason Nate sells drugs. His primary secret is that he has been continuing to sell drugs. It is also later revealed that his mother is still alive. Nate has a lizard named Stan.
Adelaide Prentiss - Detention Student. Is one of the popular students at the school. She is besotted with her boyfriend, Jake, but her secret is that she cheated on him with TJ, another boy within their friendship group. She eventually confesses to Jake, who breaks up with her.
Cooper Clay - Detention Student. He is a promising baseball star who is accused of steroid use by Simon's post. It is later revealed that the original post was edited and his secret removed, but it eventually comes to light that he is gay.
Jake Riordan – Normal Student. Addy's boyfriend and old friend of Simon's. He has a controlling nature, and when Addy's secret comes to light, he breaks up with her.
Maeve Rojas – Normal Student. Bronwyn's younger sister. She has also been featured in a post by Simon. She suffered from leukemia at the young age of seven.
Janae – Normal Student. Janae is Simon's best friend. She becomes friends with Addy. She is insecure.
Kris - Normal Student. He is Cooper's secret boyfriend.
TJ - Normal Student. A student of Bayview High, whom Addy cheats on Jake with.
Vanessa - Normal Student. Addy's enemy who relentlessly mocks her after her secret comes out.
Keeley - Normal Student. Cooper's ex-girlfriend, who he pretended to like so he wouldn't be found out for being gay.
