"The Fllowing four students must report to the main office immediately: Nora Montgomery, Jack Tran ,Henry Davis and Maddie Fox."
Nora nearly dropped the packet of papers she was holding when she heard her name. That would not have been good. Thanks to a struggle opening her locker she was running late to drop it off and if the contents of the packet spilled and anyone saw--
"Uh-oh Nora what did you do?" a voice asked.
Nora shrieked with surprised and spun around.
Tanisha and grace were walking into a newspaper
Office and laughed at her reaction. As her heart slowed,
Nora joined them-- her reaction had been extreme.
Usually before the first bell, the classroom used as a newspaper office was empty that was why Nora was here -through though though today she wouldn't be able to accomplish her goal now that she had company.
"Looks like your big trouble getting called to the office before school even starts" Grace said in a singsong voice, grinning.
"Like our star reporter would get in trouble for anything" Tanisha scoft, walking over to Ms Holt's desk to put an article in the paper's in-box. Although the snow Valley secondary School sentinel was online Mss Holt prefers to edit articles on paper Nora tried not to appear to pleased by Tanisha's remark. Liked to project an aura of serious,cool calm at all times to fit her role as star reporter. Nora who had been called "cute little thing" for far too long in life, much preferred labels like "star reporter" she subtly stuffed the papers back in her old-fashioned leather satchel.
(Nora felt a reporter would carry a satchel, not a backpack. Plus backpacks made her look shorter than she was actually was)
She's publicly getting on award Tanisha said as Nora headed for the door Nora yes Maddie and Jack sure but Henry Grace said eyes narrowing slightly Nora why are you and Henry both being called to the office Nora Shrugged calm and cool though she was slightly instead of by that and by the fact that she was being called the office at all principal Montenegro probably just needs to speak with us about separate things but call us down in a group she said luckily Grace who is a good writer did not have the instincts for a story that Nora had been born Nora was a part of it not something she was feeling good about she heard out of the newspaper office and down the hall people were starting to Trickle into the building now that the front doors had open to students( Nora has slipped in early, as she always did on Wednesdays),
And there were about 4 minutes before the first warning Bell would ring the walls of Snow Valley secondary were covered in posters for next week Starlight Gala Nora had to take a detour past the science lab because the hallway leading to the auditorium was blocked off that was where the displays of students art and schoolwork and most importantly newspapers stories were posted for the gala

There would be time for attendees to admire the work before sitting down in the auditorium for performance by the band sports team and the crowning finale but is that Nora's article on the upcoming Town Council election as well as an investigative series behind the scenes: snow Valley secondary's unglazed, were both feature like most of Nora's stories they had not exactly gotten much really readership but Miss Holt had praised them highly and hopefully the families who came to Gala would appreciate her hard-hitting extremely well researched news report as Nora turned the corner she was nearly plowed down by group of boys from her class sorry Nora one of them said as he grabbed her arm to keep her from falling I didn't see you there she looked up at him he was a full head taller than or it was a boy named Rudy who she knew was on the basketball team his fellow joke friends laughed and Nora gave them a sour glare she wasn't that short and they were definitely over tall like most of Nora's classmates watch it show right unexposed on you mile said yeah Rudy she'll expose you a voice shouted from down the hall Henry Davis Nora rolled her eyes as Henry came loping over he could always be counted on to say something stupid to make everyone laugh she ignored them straightened her satchel started towards the office again Nora hey why are we being called in Henry asked Jostling her as he tried to join her he seemed totally unaware of both the fact that he just pushed her and that his comments had annoyed her Henry's other trait was being oblivious to the obvious he had a small scratch on One Cheek pink against his white skin and Nora would bet money he had no idea how he gotten it I don't know why you're being call in she said shortly Henry ran a hand through his messy too long brown hair then tugged on it for a good measure I think I did anything bad today he said though he sounded unsure nor sped up hoping he'd get the hint and leave her alone but Henry just matched his gait to hers as they headed to the office he was like a big sloppy and very unwelcoming puppy
Ms. Atkins looked up from her desk as they came through the door then something weird happened she didn't smiled at Nora every adult in the school from teachers to the janitors to the administrators always smiled at her
Always Nora got amazing grades raised her hand in class volunteered at every event and was excellent at conversing with grown ups she was actually a lot better at speaking to adults that her fellow 7th graders so they were without fail happy to see her except for right now a cold slithery snake begin curling up in Nora's belly principal montenegaro is waiting for you in the room 1 2 2 Miss Atkins said in a tone that could only be described as Frosty don't dawdle why Room 122 what's even in 122 Henry babbled as he followed Nora who nearly ran into the short distance to room 122 it was a previously unused space that had been set up for small meetings with a table in circled by office chairs and not much else principal Montenegro good at the front of the room arms folded across the chest she nodded at them as they entered but she does not smile at Nora the snake in North belly was now nipping at her insides she had to hold on to the table to avoid fainting something bad is happening and Nora reported on bad things she didn't take part in them please sit down principal montengaro said her voice ice nor shakely sank into the closest seat it was on Wheels and nearly slid out from under her but she managed to land without injury what's going on Henrietta as he pulled out a chair and rolled backwards almost crashing into Jack who had just walked in sorry he said as Jack jumped back principal Montenegro ignored Henry and glanced at the clock on the far wall across the table Jack who had taken his cute and sat and gave Nora a what's going on look Jack Drew for the paper so they sometimes try to in the newspaper office she liked that he looked to her for answers and hated that she didn't have any she shook her head just as confused as he was finally Maddie a girl from the school dance team and the only person in seventh grade who had better math scores than Nora steps inside principle Montenegro nodded close the door Maddie and we'll get started Maddie looked slightly panicked as she shut the door and hurry to sit down and who could blame her Nora had never seen her Smiley warm principle act like so remote so angry even last year at the assembly when a student who took over the PowerPoint presentation in an exposed that had gotten last Principal fired Nora felt it had been a well researched story but did not belong in a middle school assembly principal Montenegro how to remind it even-keeled but not now the snake was attacking Nora's belly now and she pressed a hand against it as one of you is well where a student's Locker was broken into this morning and an item was stolen principal Montenegro began looking carefully at each of them how many shrink down into his seat when principles eyes rest on him but Nora just stared because this was not what she had expected the victim took it upon herself to Port the incident to her mother who happens to be the president of the PTA the mother is now threatening illegal actions so this incident has become top priority Nora looked toward the door and panic are we under arrest Henry asked meaning for word his eyes big principal Montenegro shock her head she is giving us the more to correct the situation before reaching out her attorney she said they irontone that's relief Henry said sitting back principal Montenegro glare at him it shouldn't be this set of events is a clear violation of school rules Montenegro continue so whichever one of you open Sasha's Saturdays Locker without permission and still her back like I suggest you confess now she leaned down Palms pressed against the table so she was their level faster you tell the truth the better this will go Nora's brain which usually moved so quickly it sometimes gave her headaches installed why was she here did Ms Montenegro want her to write something for the paper u m i Didn't Do It Maddie asked I I don't know if Sasha said I did or did I ask who did not steal the backpack principal Montenegro asked sharply Matty blinked a few times ah no but I'm confused why I'm here although Nora prided herself on nerves of Steel when investigating a story getting in trouble with the principal was on the whole another level she was impressed Maddie wasn't backing down and really what was Maddie here or Nora or Jack they would never do anything like this and Ms Montenegro knew it because it had to be Henry except why Henry do such a thing I'm sure he was a Class Clown who annoyed people but he wasn't the kind of person who would commit a crime was he last night's when our head custodian Mr Smith left the building nothing was amiss Ms Montenegro stated but this morning when Sasha entered the building with permission she paused to give them a sour stair at 7:20 she discovered her locker and had been open and her bag taken she immediately informed her mother who called us Nora found this odd she would have told principal Montenegro not called Mom but then Sasha and Nora were about as different as two people could be as you know after the events of last year our school install video camera at every entrance that goes on automatically when the door is unlocked principal Montenegro said the front entrance is open at 7:00 a.m. sharp for faculty and staff only the other two entrances open at 7:40 so when we receive the call from this Saturday and surveyed this morning's footage from the only accessible doors the front entrance we saw the four students came into the building before hours without permission the four of you Nora gulped she had come into the school early without permission as principal Montenegro said but not break into anyone's Locker especially not the locker of Sasha Saturday who was a super popular and one provoked super mean so if it was you fess up now Montenegro said straightening her shoulders and staring down at each of them a toxic silence fogged the room threatening to choke Nora all right principal Montenegro said if you won't reveal yourself to me I will give you the opportunity on in school suspension Nora gasp which will only go one person's record the person who committed the crime maybe the pressure from the three other people in the room is what you need to confess I'll be back before the end of the first period with that she Strode out leaving the four of them staring in shock at one another the closed door trapping them inside Room 122 together
