Eddie's POV

Mara and I brought Jerome to my dad's office. When we told him the story he was shocked. He said, " I knew their was a problem with gossip about his situation but I didn't know it was this extreme! Why was i never informed that people where hurting him? Or that Joy was messing with his head?"

"We didn't know he was getting hurt until the day we found him in the woods. And we just found out what Joy was doing," Mara answered.

I added, "He only tells us so hasn't said anything since we found him."

"Maybe if you let me say something I would have told you! But every time I tried to explain, you had to interrupt!" Jerome finally yelled.

" Well now that you have our attention, would you like to explain to us what you where doing with a rope in your hand?" Dad told him.

Jerome's POV

Mr. Sweet told Eddie and Mara not to ask any questions until after I was done. " I'll tell you but it might take while. How much time do you have?"

"Take as long as you need."

Flash back

Last nite I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk. I was behind the school when I saw Joy talking to Patricia. I hid behind some bushes and listened to them. Patricia asked Joy" What do we do now? We already played the secrets I recorded over the speaker and Alfie kicked him out of his room." ( 60% got it right)

" yep, if it weren't for Mara and Eddie he would be completely depressed," Joy said " we need to-"

She was about to finish when she saw me. She went over to me and said " I thought I smelled a rat."

I let her hit me a few times, then she shooed me back to Anubis house.

Then this morning she whispered in my ear "have something for you in the empty classroom." Then I found the rope.
