School Stunning Mystery By: Raquel Chacon

On November 19th, St.Brutes Elementary School was robbed! You see each year we- oh, yeah, by the way my name is Jake Horwelk. I go to this school. The reason that I’m so worked up about this is because my best friend Cameron Corl was framed. They found a trail of money bills and how to get past the money jar security system in his locker. Yup they’ve blamed a 7th grader. I think it’s highly suspicious. All the teachers are on the look out because the actual of money was never found! Cameron has been suspended, yet he still hasn’t coughed up anything. I’ve taken Cameron’s word for it and he says he’s innocent. Ronny (my girl best friend) also has faith in Cameron. She says she is highly considering of Mr. Adams as a suspect of the crime. He’s our 7th grade teacher and because of a prank gone bad last year, he’s out to get us (Let’s just say we all know that he has arachnophobia). My sources tell me the reason he should be considered a suspect is because he was here, at school, the night of the robbery. Then again he wasn’t alone. Mr. Burlong was with him the night of the robbery. He was my 6th grade teacher and he was the best (the only weird thing about him was his addiction to coffee)! Either way he is still sadly a suspect. The only way to prove Camerons innocent is get some proof. Ronny agreed to help, so now we got to get this plan into action. Ronny has basketball practice after school today. She might be small but she knows how to look after herself. She says she’ll sneak some time off to get some clues. While she does that I’ll check around the teacher’s classroom and Cam’s locker. You see it was snapped off with a tool, so it won’t be hard to break in. I went to search Mr. Burlong’s classroom first. He always leaves it open just in case a student forgets homework. The only thing in there worth seeing, were marked tests. Next I went to Mr. Adams classroom. The only odd thing in there were unmarked tests. . .hmmm maybe it wouldn’t hurt- no, I need to focus! I found it strange since he always gets things done before time. Next I went to Cam’s locker. One of his loose papers was on the bottom of the locker. It was smeared with something. . . COFFEE! This isn’t getting pretty. Mr. Burlong loves coffee and Cam. Though there’s coffee stains all over Cam’s locker who has been framed. This only proves that Mr. Burlong was the one who framed Cam. Mr. Adams was the only person with Mr. Burlong the night of the robbery and he only drinks tea. After that I went home. Nothing to investigate if the mystery is solved. The next day I was going to spill what I knew. Just as I made that decision Ronny came running over to me gasping for breath. She told me everything that I needed to know. We went straight to Principal Papermayer. Ronny explained that she “overheard” a conversation between Mr. Adams and Mr. Burlong. Mr. Adams told Mr. Burlong that he’d intern him into a coffee free program which means he would not be able to drink coffee freely. He made Mr. Burlong set up Cam and then he left that clue in Cam’s locker. This was all a plot to frame two innocent people. Ronny had someone else with her so she is not the only witness. Mr. Adams was then fired and put on house arrest. Mr. Burlong was then allowed to drink coffee and Cam was allowed back into school. We got a new teacher and liked him way more than Mr. Adams. I guess that’s another mystery solved.
