It started as a normal morning. As always, Peter woke up, had a shower, had breakfast, said 'bye' to his sweet Aunt and went to school...normal, ain't it? It would've been if, in the chemistry class, right at the beginning of the lesson, principal Watherbee and sheriff Keller hadn't shown up. Even more shocking for Peter and his friends were the words Cheryl pronunced right after
Cheryl: "You're here for me, aren't you? Because of the autopsy?"
Watherbee: "We don't need to do this in front of your classmates, Cheryl..."
Cheryl then started to stand up
Cheryl: "It's alright, principal Watherbee: they'll find out soon enough."
And then she extended both her arms, holding her wrists together, ready to be handcuffed
Keller: "Now, that won't be necessary."
Then Veronica decided to ask the question present in everyone's mind
Veronica: "Wait, Cheryl, find out what?"
After that a moment of silence filled the air, as Cheryl turned around, facing Veronica
Cheryl: "That I'm guilty."
In that moment each one of the students weared the same shocked expression on their faces. Those words rang in their ears and floated in their brains like bees in a nest.
'Could she really have killed Jason?'
A question that invaded everyone's minds in the same instant Cheryl spoke, everyone...except Peter Parker: he knew how highly Cheryl spoke of Jason, plus Veronica told him that she was crying at the Pep Rally because she missed her brother, so she couldn't have killed him, but in that case...what was she guilty for? That's what Peter wanted to find out.
As the Sheriff and the principal were bringing Cheryl in his office, Peter asked to go to the bathroom. His friends were looking at him wondering how could he ask something like that in that moment, but he gave them a subtle wink, meaning 'I'm gonna check this, guys'. When he recieved permission he went out in a rush and eventually caught up with Cheryl and the two men, who turned around and looked at him questionly
Watherbee: "Mr. Parker, what are you doing out of your class?"
Peter: "Well, you see...I-I need to ask Cheryl something real quick."
Keller: "Couldn't it wait? We have to interrogate her."
Peter suddently had an idea, a risky one, but it was worth a try
Peter: *making a face and crossing arms* "Without her parents? She's a minor, sheriff, I know what the law says: I'm friends with Captain Stacy."
Keller: *narrows eyes* "Are you threatening me, boy?"
