Jerome's PoV
Alfie and I ran out, but Patricia was already gone. He has no right to expel her for something she didn't do. We even have people that can say that it would have been impossible for either of us to sneak into his office and pull the prank.
Although I have to admit, it does seem like a pretty good prank.
I should watch it online later.
We had hung out with her all day in the house. She and Alfie hadn't left my sight, and Trudy had been cleaning the living room after the party with Nina, so she would've seen us sneak out, which we didn't do.
Alfie and I decided to go and break the news to the class, and more importantly, the house. We stood in the doorway of the classroom, not exactly wanting to go in. Mr. Winkler looked at us.
"Well come in. Where's Patricia?" We didn't move. Alfie started making a dying noise, so I spoke up.
"She's not coming back. Sweet just expelled her." All the smiles disappeared.
Eddie looked sick. I just nodded.
"Class dismissed."
Mr. Winkler ran out of the room, and the class erupted.
"Why?"
"What did she do!?"
"Everybody be quiet! Trixie didn't do anything! Someone pulled a prank on Sweet, and he has decided to blame her."
Nina looked worried, which was a bit weird. Since when are Nina and Patricia close friends? Or at least close enough to be super worried about each other?
"We have to find her and get Sweet to reverse his decision to expell her."
"So what's the plan?
~10 minutes later~
Where is she? We had all split up, and I was working with Eddie to find her. Eddie stopped me, and pointed. Not too far in front of us stood Mr. Winkler and Patricia.
