I Know Your Secret

Zach

   "I-I'M SORRY," I said. The words sounded hollow. Nobody knew. Well except him. Julian Dackery. "Mr. Mayor." He wanted it to happen. He wanted to die. And I helped him. My fault, I guess. I technically drugged him? I gave him the drugs. The bad part is that this happened recently. This happened last year. 
   "Zachary Leo Davidson, wake up," Ma said. "It's your first day of junior year and we.. I mean you cannot ruin yoyr attendance records," she said. "Okay mom, I'm up," I said.
   Ma has always wanted me to have a great life. My father had left when she told him she was pregnant. Ma was left alone. Ever since then, she's worked two jobs trying to make enough money to pay for three meals let alone pay for rent. She doesn't want me to be a "deadbeat" like she is. That's what she says.
   "So, Ma, I was thinking maybe I could apply for a job at the bowling center. I heard they're looking for a shoe cleaner?" I said. "So someone who cleans the shoes?" she said. "Yeah, it pays good. $4 an hour." "Well, if your up for it, you can." she said. Ma wants me to go to a good college so she doesn't really care where I work. As long as it's not a marijuana factory. She wants me to have a job to make this college money. "Really? Thanks, Ma! I'll see you later," I said. "Wait! Don't forget your lunch," she said as I ran out the door to the bus stop.
   I've arrived at school. There are so many people. Just like last year.
   "Yo! Derrick!" I yelled. "Zachity Zach Zach!" Derrick yelled back. "You got a buggy?" I asked. "Heck yeah. Phoebs over here told me it's kinda hot," he said. Phoebs, or Phoebe, was Derricks's girlfriend and my fifth-grade crush. "Oh, hey Phoebe. Nice to see you again," I said. "Hey, Zachary. Nice to see you too!" she said back.
   The bell rang. Time for homeroom. Exciting.
   I get to have Chloe in my class. So fun. Chloe is my ex-girlfriend. She's a bit of a witch. And then she sits next to me. Great.
   "Welcome to homeroom! I am your teacher, Mrs. Harthauser. I will be teaching your first class for the next 12 months!" Mrs. Harthauser said. "Why don't we all introduce ourselves!" she yelled over the loud classroom. She must have taught kindergarten before she taught here. She's very.. Kind.
   Time went by fast and before I knew it, the class was over and we had our first day back assembly. I guess the Millwood Manatees have a brand new principal!
   After the assembly, everyone had to rush to get their stuff and head to their next class. As I opened my locker, a weird note came out. What was it?
   As I opened it, I was shocked to see what was written on it.

   "Dear Zachary Leo Davidson,
             I Know Your Secret.
   During the fourth period, go to the janitor's closet and wait. Once you get there, you will see a camera. Look into it and say your name. There will be more people so be prepared.
DO NOT tell anyone about this.
