Tuesday, during lunch....
Sammie sit down at a table with Emma and sigh.
Emma: Sammie? Is everything okay? What's wrong?
Sammie (sighs): You would not believe what happened with Cameron--
Suddenly, Bethany walks up to her.
Bethany: Sammie, is it true that you sabotaged Cameron yesterday? I never though you'd stoop so low....
Sammie: No it is not! I had nothing to do with that!
Emma: Bethany, what are you talking about?
Bethany: Word on the street is, Sammie told Cameron that tryouts were postponed to screw them over.
Emma: Sammie would never do something like that!
Bethany: Are you sure? I've been hearing from everyone. Zoe, Jade, and even some Berry students....
Sammie: Bethany, I was framed! Please believe me!
Bethany narrows her eyes and studies Sammie for a long moment.
Bethany: You don't look like you're lying....But the other Hearst students may not believe you. Whatever the truth is, word's spreading like wildfire. You'd better do something quick....
Bethany walks away. Sammie turn to Emma, tears on her face.
Sammie (crying): Emma....you believe me, right?
Emma: Of course I do. Come here, Sammie.
Emma pulls her into a hug. She rest her head on her shoulder.
Sammie: Aw, Emma, I wish I could just wake up from this nightmare. Can't I have just one quarter go by in peace? I'm just minding my own business, and now everyone hates me for something I didn't even do! I need to clear my name....but how? (Crying)
Emma: Hm....What would Sherlock Holmes do here?
Sammie: Look at the crime scene as text files across the screen, and magically deduce the culprit based on the scuffs on a chair?
Emma: No! He uses logic and reasoning to find answers.
Sammie: Were we watching the same show?
Emma: In any case, I'm sure we'll think of something....
The bell rings, and the two ladies head to class....
After school, at prom committee....
Maria: Is everyone here?
Sammie: Kara, Zoe, and Kieran aren't here yet. They'll probably show up fifteen minutes late with Coffee Express as usual.
Maria: How about Caleb, Sydney, Tucker, and....Payton?
Payton: Yes? Why am I being singled out here?
Maria: Frank asked me to....uh....no reason! But in the meantime, First on today's schedule is....
Maria pulls off a cloth draped over the whiteboard, revealing a poem written on it in purple marker!
Haiku: Come with me to prom! Dances, glamour, memories Payton, be my date?
Payton: That's so sweet! But wait, Maria, you're asking me to prom?
Maria: What? No! Frank is supposed to--
Frank leaps out of the supply cabinet with a loud bang! Brooms and cleaning supplies clatter to the floor as he strikes a pose.
Frank: I got stuck.
