Yeah Tim is nuts but look at it this way..
At the end, Rand is talking to the Counselor. He says Emma convinces all of them that they should all take the 4.0's and all go to Harvard just like Tim wanted. And that he was going to major in "Drama"--- Tim says he hated Rand because Rand was rich, and had his life handed to him on a silver platter. He didn't need to go to Harvard to major in drama. He was doing this because he knew Tim since 5th grade and knew how awful of a person Tim was. Chris was the one who got ONE B his whole life and was scared he would not get into Harvard.
Rand was the puppet master or I guess "director" of this entire plan. Or "drama"
They were all psychos.
Emma was pre-med, so we don't really know if the pill Natalie took was an abortion pill. Or pills she was giving Natalie to feel sick/depressed. But either way she was the one emotionally waring her down and giving her pills then told her she was pregnant. Emma could have been the pregnant one, and shown her actual tests. We never see if Natalie sees the tests but she believes it. Emma wanted Natalie to commit suicide for her own 4.0
I think the reason Chris wasnt having sex with Emma was because at first he was stressed about Harvard. Then Rand probably told him he knew Tim and Emma were in on this against him and also having sex. And she was prob having sex with Tim because Chris wouldn't with her..and then she prob found out about the fake plan (Tim and Chris killing Rand) not the real plan (Rand and Chris killing tim)
But Rand was always in on it with Natalie too. He "acted" like an abusive boyfriend for 3 months with Natalie also to break her down. He "acted" like a crazy a-hole the night of the party so witnesses could see the fight about the pregnancy and everything else. If Emma were actually a good friend, she never would have let Natalie tell Rand in front of everyone she was pregnant. She was actually being mean in that moment saying "Come on Rand you're going to make her cry." That isn't supportive, that is subtle bitchiness. Which shows she was already way into the plan with Tim and Rand.
Tim was a pawn and the ultimate real "victim". He was the one ultimately getting screwed. Natalie wasn't a pawn but a victim honestly. Emma wanted her 4.0 as well so Natalie had to die and Rand only started dating her to get everything in motion. Abusive boyfriend mode, into false pregnancy scare, fake fight blow out at the party and then they waited hopefully that she would break down and also kill herself. If she didnt, well, Emma would be the one getting screwed but not Chris and Rand. They always knew they would turn the tables on Tim because Rand despised him and Chris wanted a good grade and also hated Tim for sleeping with Emma, being a horrible person in general (worse than even all the rest of them) and everything else.
There aren't really any plot holes.
And it's obvious Emma and Chris were walking the campus "as a couple" until graduation so things seemed normal. Wouldn't it look suspicious if they broke up when their best friend had died? Everything had to seem normal. Everyone is like why on earth would Chris get back with Emma. Um, he wouldn't. He just acted like it. Once they all went to Harvard who knows if htey all would even remain friends but Harvard was the plan and destination and they had to fool everyone around them.
And the counselor did put it all together but isn't technically aloud to tell anyone anything unless someone says they are going to hurt themselves or someone else. Yes she could legally tell the police what she knew--- what she heard off campus. Her suspicions. But they did cover their tracks well, and she knew the police wouldn't be able to prove anything really. There was a body, a suicide note, Rand had his explanation, Chris and Emma were still together and fine to the outside world, and without any real evidence, the police had no case against them.
