"I am so glad school's over!" Bree exclaimed as we walked down the crowded school stairs, her voice echoing slightly against the concrete walls. "Ms. Thistle talked for an hour in history. She's 90! I mean, should she really be wasting all that breath?" she added dramatically, throwing her hands in the air. Adam and I exchanged a quick good point look, trying not to laugh as we continued down the steps with the rest of the students but as we reached the bottom of the stairs, something strange caught our attention. The lunch ladies, wearing their aprons, were standing in a line holding metal detectors, slowly scanning students. The detectors beeped occasionally, the sharp sound cutting through the noisy hallway. Next to them stood Perry, holding a bright red bucket, telling students to drop their phones inside before moving on.
We all slowed down, staring at the unusual scene. Students looked confused and whispered to each other as they emptied their pockets one by one, dropping their phones into the bucket. "What's all this?" Chase asked, frowning as we stepped closer, trying to figure out what was going on. "Listen up, frogspawn! Security check." Principal Perry's voice rang sharply across the hallway, cutting through the chatter of confused students. "Put all metal objects in the bucket, then proceed to the wands for a more thorough search." she announced, her tone firm and unyielding.
One student stepped away from the metal detector, looking slightly embarrassed, while another nervously shuffled forward to take their place. The lunch ladies moved with surprising seriousness, sweeping the detectors up and down like trained security guards. Bree stepped forward, her curiosity getting the better of her. "Principal Perry, what's going on?"
"Someone's been stealing laptops from the computer lab so I'm gonna bust the perp. Or perps." Perry replied, lifting one eyebrow suspiciously, her gaze lingering on us just long enough to make us exchange uneasy glances. "Bottom line, no one leaves this school without going through those metal detectors." Then, without missing a beat, her stern expression shifted into something almost mischievous. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sort through your loose change and have a little heart to heart with the vending machine." With that, she turned and walked off, her hand in the bucket, clutching the students' money.
"Guys, we cannot get wanted. Those things will go off like crazy when they detect our bionics." Bree whispered urgently, leaning closer to us. "Duh, Captain Obvious." I muttered under my breath as Adam chuckled quietly beside me. "I used to love that show." he said, trying to lighten the mood, but no one was really laughing now. "Well, what are we going to do?" Chase asked, his voice tight with worry, ignoring us both. "She's totally going to bust us."
At those words, a voice appeared behind him. "Bust you for what?" Principal Perry said slowly. "What are you hiding Little Bo Peep?" Chase jumped slightly and turned around. Bree let out a nervous laugh that sounded completely fake. "Um, h-he's not hiding anything." she said quickly. Adam suddenly smirked. "Well, he does have an unusually large birthmark on his left hip. If you stare at it long enough, it kind of looks like Justin Bieber." Adam snickered, and Chase shot him a glare, making a cutting motion with his hand for him to stop talking. "Let's go." Principal Perry said firmly, grabbing Chase by the arm and pulling him toward the metal detectors. Chase stumbled slightly as she dragged him forward. "I—"
