“Ruby Mines, please come to the office.” A voice said over the intercom. Even though Ruby was my best friend, I wasn’t worried. Calls down to the office are just usually minor things. That’s what I thought. But, as I was about to discover, they could also be major.
Ruby ran up to me after school that day with her face creased with worry. She explained that she was suspected of stealing the 7th grade student files, a crime that was committed a day earlier. I knew she never did it. She said that Lexi Marker, a girl in our grade was the one that turned her in. Lexi was a very popular girl, but loved attention (too much), and so probably just wanted to put the spotlight on her. I really didn’t want to have to be involved in a mystery, they’re

Running up to her I said, “Lizzi, be careful. Have you told your locker combination to anybody lately? One of your friends might be the thief!” “I know who stole my phone and I have proof to frame her to. You can just get out of my life because I have a picture of Ruby Mines stealing from Kaytie Mills and I’m about ready to go turn it in to Mr. Johnston.” she said. I got an idea, though to make it work I would have to use my amazing lying skills. Even then, though, I might just make things worse for Ruby and sound dumb. I decided to go for it. I needed more clues. I said, “Can I come? I have some evidence against her too. I mean, I’ve been trying to prove her innocent, but all of the evidence says she’s guilty. I just need this problem to be out of my life.” Lizzi looked at me skeptically and said, “Whatever.” We walked down to the office in silence. When we got there, Lizzi and I took a seat. “Mr. Johnston, Rose and I have evidence that Ruby Mines is guilty of stealing the student files and breaking into people’s lockers.” Lizzi stated. I nodded at her to signal that she should go first. “I have a picture of Ruby standing by Kaytie Mills locker.” Lizzi said. “Can you show this to me?” Mr. Johnston asked …show more content…
This time I stepped in. “Lizzi, I don’t think it will be that easy. Your phone was reported stolen last Thursday.” Lizzi turned pale. “I got a new phone.” she said. “Oh, but, why would you need to. Yeah! Why would you do that when you just could go home and use your phone, since you were the one that stole your phone.” I retorted. “No…” she started, but stopped when Mr. Johnston glared at her. “Silence.” he said. “Rose, thank you. I’ll talk to you later.” The next half hour was Lizzi trying to get out of confessing. Eventually, he found out that she was behind it all just because she wanted to get Ruby kicked off the basketball team. Lizzi was so annoying! She said she didn’t like how good Ruby was because she didn’t want Ruby to take her spot on the A team. This was probably the only logical thing she ever did, although it was mean. I’m sure Ruby will be a little scared when she hears that Lizzi thought she was good enough to kick her off the team! Lizzi was forced to hand everything over, including her spot on the basketball team, but I couldn’t sit and ponder that long. I was wondering was how long I would have to wait before telling Ruby everything. Although, I really considered running to tell her right then, I discovered it wouldn’t be worth the trouble. Right after Lizzi was sent home for out of school suspension, I heard, “Ruby Mines, please come to the

“I said it was either misplaced or someone took it and he was like ‘oh if that happened we can just get you a new phone if you can’t find it,” she said.

Later on, everyone was at play practice. Tasha wasn’t feeling good so she sat out. Becca’s best friend Hannah stepped in her place. When Tasha went to go move the overhead light, it came crashing down over Hannah. It killed her.

He would occasionally put his uniform on for her and parade around the house but this was a rare treat for her and wouldn’t happen every visit. He did however seem like the most obvious to commit the crime as eyewitnesses say they saw him in the graveyard digging up an old grave which he suspected was Ruby’s however it was just a doll.
“Well the truth is I brought you here with our time machine that the other girls and I made.” Posa informs Marilyn again.

The outlet mall was about half an hour to an hour drive from where we stayed. Philip told us before we got off the SP bus, “Meet back here in a hour.” After we got SP bus, the six of us scattered the mall. After an hour went by, Trey and I headed towards the bus. When we got to the SP bus Philip told us that someone had broken into the SP bus. They somehow unlocked the bus that broke the lock. Ten minutes later, a state cop came to file the report. The state cop asks, “Sir, are you missing

As stated previously, we can see the objects in Ruby’s hands which consist of a ruler and some books. These items give us the idea that the young girl just came from school. Although, she seems to be impeached by the local population because of the tomato that is splattered on the wall. Instead of walking home with her parents, Ruby is being escorted out. This is because “[t]here was an angry mob gathered outside of Frantz Elementary . . .
I was wondering why would Ruby even believe him if the owls have not been their in 4 years. I was really surprised that she didn’t realize sooner that he was the killer, and when he was taking her into the woods she finally recognized his boot prints. How is she going to get out of their if he is blocking the way out? I thought.
"She's going to need a lawyer with all the evidence we have against her." Rachel mumbles, walking out of the room.
“Oh, fuck.” Rhett dropped his phone and dove for his laptop. He spent the next ten minutes frantically Googling and calling. His first four calls went straight to voicemail, and the one girl who answered yelled something about calling the police. Rhett was willing to admit he may have come off a little intense in their conversation, but involving the police still seemed a bit extreme.
