Fifty dollars
Carly and Freddie are hanging out at their lockers between math and science classes.
"Hey Freddie, what did you think about that math test?"
"It was alright except I think I messed up the question on the chain rule. What about you?"
But Carly did not get a chance to answer because she heard a scream from the other side of the hallway.
"Nooo!!!! Where did it go?!"
It was Wendy. She was shuffling through her locker with a very panicked expression on her face.
"What's wrong Wendy?" Gibby walked up innocently to help and console his friend.
"I had fifty bucks in my locker so I could go buy these really cute shoes after school, but it's gone!"
Gibby hugged Wendy until she got to grips with herself. Meanwhile, a guy wearing a black shirt and a gold pendant who was walking towards Wendy's locker stopped in his tracks, and turned around. He looked up to read a poster about the winter dance coming up.
"Here, let me help," Gibby said.
"Thanks," Wendy gasped as she began to rummage through her purse.
"Don't see anything in here."
"Then where did it go?"
"You sure it was in there?"
"Yeah, I placed it in there this morning and I've been eyeing it ever since anticipating the end of school."
"I'm sorry, I guess someone stole it."
"But who would steal out of my locker? That's real low." Wendy frowned and crossed her arms, and Gibby gave her a consoling hug.
"What's up?" Sam had walked up behind Carly and Freddie.
"Hey," said Carly, "someone just stole fifty bucks out of Wendy's locker."
"That bites," said Sam, "any idea who did it?"
"Actually," Freddie lifted an eyebrow, "shouldn't we be asking you? You are our link to the criminal underworld."
"Ha ha, and no, I may be a part of the criminal underworld but I don't steal cash from other students."
"But you took twenty dollars out of my purse a few weeks ago, just before the time those criminals taped us up in my apartment" Carly added.
"Oh, yeah," Sam looked down, "well I don't know who pulled this stunt."
"Think the teachers will figure it out?" Freddie asked.
"Well they do have security cameras in the halls," she said as all three looked up. But they noticed that the camera in the hallway had a piece of paper taped over the front.
"I guess they're not an idiot," said Sam.
"Poor Wendy," Carly sighed, "come on, let's get to class." And the three walked together to science, Carly and Sam smiling and laughing; while Freddie had a focused looked on his face.
A/N: so, a few notes: 1) pay attention to details in this story, they may be important later on, 2) the chain rule is something you learn in calculus (aren't Carly and Freddie smart?! :-P ), 3) I am trying to not make this story real outlandish by keeping the main characters, well, in their character, and 4) please review because it will make me happy!
