What Have I done? -Lucathy

  "Class dismissed!" Aunty announced everyone got up and started leaving the class but before I could exit the class I heard.

  "Miss Athanasia please stay back." Aunty said glaring at the students who are still in class while I stood rooted to the ground.

  'What did I do wrong? Was it because I didn't listen in class?! Maybe because I didn't finish my work?' I felt a hand tap my shoulder and I looked up to see Lucas smiling at me.

  "Calm down Athy, I your not in trouble she just wants to speak to you." Lucas said him to leaving the class.

  'Wait... Why is it that Lucas needed to leave? Normally he waits for me...' I thought to myself slightly panicking as the last person exited the room closing the door behind them leaving just me and aunty.

  "Lucas needs to help me get some papers to another class room so he left first." Aunty said as if she knew what I was thinking about.

  "Athy you found out something too right?" Aunty said turning to me.

  "You also noticed?" I said more relaxed now knowing why she told me to stay back.

  "Of course I did, Lucas did too." Aunty said.

  I don't know why but I felt like I was being watched.

  "Aunty..." I said softly moving closer towards her.

  "Spending time with Lucas seriously helped you sharpen your senses." Aunty said as she sighed and walked over to the door and opened it.

  "Uh... Hi?" I saw Andrew standing there awkwardly waving his hand.

  "Andrew Lloyd, may I know what your doing snooping around and eavesdropping?" Aunty stood infront of Andrew and glared at him.

  "I left my... Pencil?" Andrew said with a question mark.

  'Why is Andrew here... Shouldn't he be in his next class?' I looked over at Andrews table and indeed there was a pencil there.

  "Here." I went over to his table and took his pencil passing it to aunty to pass to him.

  Could I have just pass to him directly? Yes.

  But I didn't want to for some reason being around Andrew was starting to feel more and more.... Suspicious...

  "Uh.. thanks I'll just be on my way now..." Andrew awkward scratched his neck and walked away but he kept looking behind him as if he didn't want to go.

  "Andrew is starting to seem more and more suspicious huh...?" Aunty said.

  "I think Andrew and/or Denise was the one who broke into your office and poisoned the food..." I said softly.

  I saw Aunty's eyes go wide in shock and her jaw slightly drop.

  "Why? And how did you get it?" Aunty asked clearly shocked.

  "Well a) Denise said before that Andrew got in trouble because of her, So it would be in their records but Aunty seriously dig in your memory we don't let students who have violent records into the school. So one of them would need to sneak into the office to place their files there. "

  "B) As we both saw Andrew wasn't shocked. If he likes me he would care, so he already somehow knew Lucas was your kid. So he had to get it somewhere. He had lied once that his family wasn't wealthy but his from a merchant family that is well known so he has to be wealthy why would he need to lie unless it cost something? So from that I can tell that he's here to gather information"
