Author's Note: I'm sorry this took so long!!! I've just been really busy with homework, tests, assignments and hanging out with people. Well, now I have some free time so I'll just shut up and let you guys read the chapter…

Thursday. It was a really warm day and the gym class was being held outside. Everyone was happy to escape from the dusty gym except Manny. This ruined all of her plans. She had to quickly find a way to be able to sneak into the storage room and grab that key. All she had to do was find a good enough excuse so that her substitute Mr. Stewart, a chubby old grouchy man, would agree with.

"Okay children," Mr. Stewart said. He waited for everyone to be quiet, but of course nobody cared, after all he was a substitute. "QUIET!!!" he yelled.

Everyone shut up to let Mr. Stewart continue.

"Kids, since no lesson plan was left for me, I have decided to let you kids play a good clean game of soccer. Now, I want you guys to split into teams of girls vs. boys. If anybody has a problem with this they can go clean the gym storage room."

Manny remembered the key was in there. "Mr. Stewart! I hate soccer! I hate gym! Please let me clean the gym storage room!"

Mr. Stewart shrugged. "Whatever. Go have fun."

Manny ran into the school ignoring the snickers of Emma, Toby and JT.

When she got into the storage room she cringed. The room was a huge mess. She couldn't even find the 3rd storage room cabinet. She sighed. "What have I gotten myself into?" she asked herself.

Slowly, she began to throw soccer and volleyballs into their respective baskets. Eventually, she sorted through enough of the mess to discover the rotting gym cabinets. Manny kicked the third one in to reveal a flattened basketball and a can of badminton birdies.

She knelt down and ripped open the rip in the basketball, revealing a small key with a small alien key chain. She quickly picked it up and pocketed it. Sighing, Manny stood up and threw everything that was on the floor in the gym storage room into the small rotting cupboards. She threw the rest of the junk into the volleyball carts and the basketball carts and snuck out of the storage room and into the hallway.

She passed Mr. Simpson in the hallway but he didn't look at her or even say hi to her. She held her breath until he was all the way down the hallway then exhaled. This was too stressful of a mission and right now she wished she could be playing soccer and kicking Emma's ass in the game. She was so consumed in her thoughts that she didn't realize she walked by the teacher's lounge. She quickly ran to the lounge door and peeked in the window.

She watched one of the grade ten teachers fill her cup of coffee before she exited through the back door. Taking in deep breaths, she opened the door and ran to the mailboxes. When she got there, it didn't take her long to locate mailbox number 13. She shoved the key into the lock and turned it to left and watched in happiness as the mailbox clicked and popped open. Manny quickly noticed the long brown envelope hanging out of the mailbox. She quickly grabbed it and shoved it up her shirt before she was caught. She locked the mailbox and slid the key down her bra.

Swiftly, she stood up and ran towards the lounge door and ran out of it as fast as she could. When she got to the hallway, she froze. Standing there was the person who ordered her on this mission.

"What do you want?" Manny asked.

"I have come for the envelope."

"How did you know I have it?"

"I've been watching you."

Manny froze. "How?"

"I've got my ways. Now hand over the envelope."

Manny shook her head. "No."

The person stepped forward. "Why not? It is rightfully mine."

"Do you not get it? I am the one who risked getting a detention and getting expelled to get this damn envelope. Now believe me, I will not give it up easily."

The person shook their head. "Well, ok. You can keep the envelope. Just don't go to the party tomorrow night."

"Why not?"

"You'll see," the person said as they turned around and casually left the hallway.

"You can't just threaten me! I'm not scared of you!"

The person chuckled and disappeared, leaving Manny alone and stunned in the center of the hallway. When she gained the ability to move again after that moment, she headed back to her gym class.
