What is the story's time period and location?
Can you tell us more about the main characters - e.g., ages, students or jobs, interests, how they met, rich/poor, family/friends, etc.?

Sorry I never got notified! They're two high schoolers. I THINK it might be multiple point of views, because it's a mystery/thriller about a best friend finding out that her best friend is actually faking that someone is like attacking her or something. It's so hard to recall details except when she rigged a light post to fall and it didn't hit anyone like intended (I think it was meant for herself) and the lake scene at the end where the psychopath fell in after trying to hurt her friend who found out the truth. They're two females, there's no romance that I can remember, and I believe most of it is either the narrator who is lying about someone trying to hurt her, and it's really her, or the friend who is trying to solve it - which is why I believe it's dual POV! I know the ending switches between them. It was early/mid 2000s that I read it.

I'm sorry this is vague and some details maybe wrong, but I read this around 2014-2016. Here's things I remember
- for certain, they both fight in the end at a lake and i think one drowns. the friend discovered that her friend was faking that someone was trying tohurt her by actually doing it to herself
- at some point a lighting fixture falls and it's determined it was supposed to hit the girl who is doing it to herself i think and i think she did it to herself but i don't think it hit her
-the point of views change between the two but that may not be until the end
