Storyline

Veronica mingles with Heather I, II and III to be as popular as them, even though she hates them. She hates them enough to wish they were dead, though she would never want to be their cause of death. When she starts dating Jason Dean, however, she finds herself involved in the murders of most of her enemies, covered up as suicides. Written by Lars J. Aas <larsa@colargol.edb.tih.no>

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): After Veronica and Jason shoot Kurt and Ram, they each put the wrong gun in the wrong hand, unless Kurt and Ram were meant to look as though they each shot themselves, rather than each other. See more »
