“Returning my attention to the bottom of the gray barrel, I saw all kinds of half-eaten nasty food, and felt sorry for the janitors at the school. People could at least empty their soda cans before tossing them out! I imagined, for a moment, the rise of the garbage cans in the future. One day, they’ll come to life and seek vengeance for all the gunk that people stuffed into them. Just remember this on the”

“kid you not, every single person in that room stopped what they were doing to see what the most annoying sound in the world was. “Stop that!” I hissed, tightening my lips. “You’re embarrassing me!” The clown tap-danced his oversized shoes toward me, which was frightening by itself, but tap dancing apparently wasn’t enough. No, this clown also wanted to start blowing up one of those long balloons they make balloon animals out of. So yeah, this monster was staring into my soul while twisting a long balloon into an animal and also tap dancing straight at me, and in a roomful of hundreds of spectators. The silence only made the squeaking balloons and metal taps that much worse. I’m not gonna lie. I feared for my life. “Okay. I was wrong before,” I whispered. “This is how I actually die…” The clown finally stopped tapping in front of me with a finale that extended an open palm out. “The name’s Miko! My friends call me Miko, but you can call me Miko!” At that point, everyone in the room returned to what they were doing before the clown started acting out. I slouched in my seat. “My name’s Chase,” I said. “You can call me Chase.” “Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Chase!” Miko said gleefully with his hand still outstretched toward me.”

“There comes a point in everyone’s life when they’ll find themselves getting chased by a pack of ferocious werewolves. While I didn’t think this was something that was going to happen to me until I was much older, say in seventh grade, I wasn’t surprised to find it happening to me right at that moment. My name is Chase Cooper, and I’m a sixth grade ninja… getting chased by werewolves. I sprinted through the dark forest as the tree branches slapped at my face as if they were against the idea of my escape. I’m not sure what I did to make the trees angry. Maybe it was because I carved my initials into one of their friends when I was younger – who knows? Reaching behind my head, I pulled my ninja mask from the hood of my sweatshirt, slipping it over my cheeks until it completely covered my face. With every step I took, I heard dry leaves crunch under my feet. I could also hear the same crunch from the pack of monsters”

“were doing, but they weren’t at their table anymore. When I finally found them, they were huddled up with some other kids near the center of the cafeteria. Gavin had his brow furrowed as if he was concerned, but I’m pretty sure he always looked like that. It wasn’t until I saw Brayden with the same expression that I knew something was wrong. I stood from my table and joined the crowd of students. I was on the outside of the circle so I couldn’t tell what was going on yet. “What’s up?” I asked Brayden. Brayden shrugged his shoulders. “Somebody stole something, I think.” Gavin leaned over and stood on his tippy toes. “Not somebody, but a lot of bodies. A few kids had some things stolen from them.” “Okay,” I said, “so why isn’t anyone speaking up about it? Why the weird huddle of whispers and secrets?” “Because it was gum that was stolen,” Faith said, as she stepped out of the circle and joined our conversation. Zoe was right behind her. “Someone stole gum from ten different kids.” “Ah,” Brayden sighed. “So it’s not like they’d get help to begin with. If they admitted they had gum, they’d be asked why they even had it in the first place.” “Exactly,” Faith said, rubbing her arms like she was cold. “Ten kids?” I whispered. “Someone managed to get away with stealing gum from ten different people?” Faith nodded. “Some of these kids had it taken right from their pockets too!” “That’s crazy!” I said. “That’s…” I trailed off. I wanted to say it sounded like the work of a ninja, but I kept my mouth shut. “What’s crazy is that some of these kids said they still had their gum before answering the questions on that career test,” Faith added. “That was only, like, twenty minutes ago.” Zoe darted her eyes at Wyatt as he approached. “It was you, wasn’t it?” “What was me?” Wyatt asked, annoyed. As much as I didn’t want to, I knew I had to speak up because it was the honorable thing to do. “No,” I said, coming to Wyatt’s defense. “He was with me the entire time, before and after the career test. He never left my sight.” I pointed at Olive, who was still chomping away. “She was with him too, so it wasn’t her either. Even though it looks like she’s chewing enough gum for a football team, she was chewing on it before the career test.”
