I stand up on tiptoes to get into the vent in the wall but end up falling on my butt. "OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Mavis stares at me with a face of 'didn't I say you would fall?'

Amari looks in our direction and smiles at us. "What are you two doing?"

"Um, I heard a rat in the vent and wanted to check it out," I lie as best I can, but I can tell that he doesn't believe me.

"Yeah, sure you did," he says, in that one tone that always makes me feel like I have butterflies in my stomach. "You're lying."

"Yeah, I am lying, but that's because I'm afraid that you'll tell principle about me."

"Why would I do that?"

I think for a minute. "I don't know, I guess I'm just paranoid."

He smiles. "Well, I need to get to class, you two might want to come too."

I nod and we go to class.

Miss Melissa sits behind her desk with that bright smile. "Welcome Mr. Brown, Mr. Garcia, and Miss Willams."

Amari waves with a big grin. We sit in our assigned sits (that we picked on our first day of school.)

Mavis pulls her desk open and I catch a glimpse of a piece of paper, it reads: Dennis Brown is a bit-

She shuts her desk before I see the last word fully.

Which leaves me with one question, what did it say?

'Dennis is a bitch by Gerald'.

"What the actual fuck?!" I scream.

I throw it in the trash can. Who would write this?
