Chapter 15 - Secrets of the Project

Kim

"Guys we need to find out more about the project" I told the guys on Monday. I hadn't told them what Grace told me, I needed to know if it was true first. Plus it wouldn't really effect them, mainly me. It just can't be true! I mean, some people at this are crazy! But this? It just doesn't add up! I didn't believe Grace and I hadn't talked to her since that night.

I wasn't mad at her for telling me that she thought that what she read was true. I guess I did to make myself believe that it wasn't true. I still needed to know if it was true though. I know, confusing. I'm even confusing myself. I mean, Lorie is one of my best friends!

"Why?" Eddie asked me. "They're hiding something. I know it, I asked the principal about it, but he wouldn't answer anything! He kept trying to get me to leave him alone!" I said in one breath.

"Well, if you really want to know. Then why don't we just hide in one of the closets after school until the school gets locked up. Then we can go into the principals look through his files, find the one labeled The Project, then read it!" We all stared at him in disbelief, I mean he's a genius, but the fact that he was willingly breaking into a principals office? "What? It's not rocket science! Look I'll meet you guys by the closet in the main office. It's huge, but no one has used it twenty years!" I raised my eyebrows.

"Why?"

"They think it's haunted..." He said as if it were the current weather. "B-But, it's n-n-not, is i-it?" Jerry stuttered. I rolled my eyes thinking; Wow...

"No it's not haunted!" I snapped making him jump slightly. "Alright, I'll see you guys tonight. I have with Miss McBlubberHead next. Or whatever her name is.." I said walking off without another word.

Right after the bell rang I met the guys outside of the closet in the main office, just like we said. "What are we going to do about everyone in here?" I asked gesturing to everyone in the office "We can't exactly just walk in there without everyone realizing!" Jerry smirked.

"Don't worry they should all be leaving in about five . . . four . . . three . . . two . . ."

BOOM!

I must've jumped twenty feet in the air. Everyone in the office screamed and ran out screaming, trying to save themselves. We quickly climbed in and closed the door behind us.

"What the hell was that?!" I whisper yelled at Jerry. "Well, you see..." I quickly stopped him "I changed my mind, I don't wanna know!" I sighed as I sat down in the closet. It was actually kind of big, we weren't the tiniest bit squished. It was like a mini walk in closet. With dust . . . . and spiders . . . . and for all I know skeletons...

The wait was long and boring, and we couldn't talk because someone might here us. Finally the school was locked up and we could leave. We quietly walked into the office and looked through his file. I found the one I was looking and gestured for the guys to stop looking and leave. We made our way through the auditorium that led to the exit. But when we reached the doors they were locked on the other side. We turned around to go back, but the door that were once opened, were now closed. We were locked in.

"Great! What do we do now?" Milton asked, I looked around. It was a silence until Jerry finally said something "Well, this place is huge, and there's lots of paces to hide. So I guess we could just hide here until morning, then when the school reopens we can just sneak out, go home, change, then come back... And while we're here we can take a look at the file, see what they're hiding. We'll have to keep the file as evidence when we leave, so that way when we expose them to the whole school — which I have an idea on how do — we'll have proof."

We all stared at him with our eyes wide and our jaws dropped, but Jerry apparently didn't notice because he just kept talking. "So here's my idea on how to expose anything bad to do with the project: So Jack, Kim, and I will ask to the announcements one day with an extra surprise at the end. If any staff has to do with it, Eddie and Milton will distract them. Once we've said it to the entire school, we can offer to show the file as evidence!" No one spoke. I'm pretty sure we were all thinking the same thing though: Did Jerry really just think of that?

"Jerry — no offense — but how on Earth did you come up with that?!" I asked after the shock went away, he smirked. "Well you see muchacha," — cue my eye roll — "I am the king of schemes and mischief. Ever need a plan to get around people, I'm your guy!" He said gesturing to himself.

"Alright the Mr. King of Schemes and Mischief, where should we hide?" he looked around the room for a while.

"Behind the auditorium stage. There's plenty of room, there's always a mini light on back there so we'll be able to see, and no one will ever look there." I smiled and walked behind the auditorium stage. Jerry was right, the five if us could fit in there no problem.

I quickly sat down and opened up the file. I put in front of me, allowing everyone to read. The normal papers had nothing, but all the sticky notes that the principal had left on the were the things I was interested in.

Pose as saying the money is for our school, but ask parents to make out the check to Anne Gillis, our school librarian, or myself, the principal.

I'm moved on to another note:

We will pick five students who are in no way friends. That way they will be to distracted with each other, they won't have time to be suspicious about Anne and I. We will choose a past teacher so that way they don't have access to the school.

"What?" I asked myself. Then I moved onto another note:

Jack Brewer, Kim Crawford, Jerry Martinez, Milton Krupnick, Eddie Johnson, and Rudy Gillespie. Almost guaranteed enemies for life.

"Guys, this just isn't right..." We all paused for a second to talk about what we read. "Hey guys..? You might want to keep reading this..." Jack said making us all turn our attention back to the last three notes. After reading them we all let out a gasp, and right away three words immediately came to mind:

Grace. Was. Right.
