Teenage Detective

Two

You went home after they introduced more about themselves yesterday. You are still a bit surprised about what kind of club you've got yourself into. A bunch of smart people... you thought as you saw the teacher coming in. The third boring hour has begun.

*Time skip to the lunch time*

Now it's the lunch time, you went to the cafeteria alone. As usual, no one is going to have lunch with you. You sighed and sat down in your "old spot" (which is the most dirty corner next to the trash can, you stay there because no one is going to come and bother you here), put on your earphones and take a large bite on your sandwich.

Just then you heard a huge noise from the crowd. The girls' sharp scream passed through the music and directly came into your ear. You felt annoyed and turned your music louder, trying to block the noises out. "OOOOOHHHHH GIRLLLLLSSSS!!!!! IT'S OUR RRRROOOOOOOOBBBBBBBYYYYY!!!!"
Apparently it's not working. You can still hear the girls' screams. And you know who's causing all of this mess, it's Robin. He's like so popular that almost every girl had a crush on him, except you, popularity isn't attractive to you at all.

You quickly finished your sandwich, covering your ears while passing through the mad girls. But they're too many which you got stucked in the people.

Somebody grabbed one of your shoulder and pulled you out of the crowd.

" Hey genius! I've been looking for you in the whole building! Where have you been?!" The voice is kinda familiar. You turned to face the person and found that it's Robin." Robin?! I thought you're in the crowd!" You shouted so that he could hear you, the crowd is too noisy."Genius creates new trends and the crowd follows the past." He said that with a excessively confident grin." Whatever," you rolled your eyes," thanks anyway."

The two of you sneaked out from the cafeteria and he told you that Finn wants to see you in the lab immediately. So you went to the lab with him.

You met Saffron in front of the door," did Finn told you to come too?" You asked curiously." Yea," she replied, " it might be something important, he asked all of us to come."" Maybe, " Robin shrugged. You opened the door slightly...

Unexpectedly, Finn is not there. But instead of him, you saw a piece of paper on the desk. You took it and started reading, Saffron and Robin came closer, wondering what's written on the paper.

"Hey guys, it's me, Smart Finn.
Something happened to Ben while I was waiting for you. It's emergency, come meet me at 13:30 in Apple+Elephants."

"What the heck?" You said loudly." I think it's a code..." Saffron said, frowning a bit." Simple, he's at the sixth floor." Robin said that confidently. "Huh?" You didn't understand, that was confusing to you. You never liked to solve puzzles.
"I got it!" Now Saffron cried out, "A is the first letter of the alphabets. And E is the fifth, so A+E means to plus 1 and 5. Which is six." "You got it." Robin replied." Let's get there now!" Saffron said. You nodded and followed them upstairs.

" There must be more puzzles to solve, that one was too simple." Robin said while you guys are getting upstairs. And he's right. There was another piece of paper lying on the ground. You quickly picked it up.

" I guess you guys just finished the last quiz. Congrats! And now, let's get back on business. I found that Ben was kidnapped by a random person in the art classroom. The person locked the door with a password, I can't tell you what is it directly because the kidnapper is still around here. It'll be too bad if he sees this. Anyways, I can give you guys a hint..."

"What the..." Robin said, the note finished right there. You didn't see any hint on it." What do we do now?" Saffron asked." Let's see if there's anything hidden in these sentences..." Robin replied her. You walked around when they're discussing about the code.

Whatever, I don't understand those hard stuff. You thought as you walked into a random classroom. It's a room for dancing, at least you think so, because the walls are surrounded by some huge mirrors which you can see thousands of yourselves thorough them. You felt a bit dizzy when you looked through them, so you sat down and started thinking about this whole thing that's happening right now. There must be something wrong, but you can't tell how. It's just not right.

You remembered what Finn told you yesterday." We are looking for smart people to join us since Alex graduated last year. We need at least six people to hold a club. So we looked for the smartest person..." Wait there, play it again, " we are looking for smart people to join us since Alex graduated last year. We need at least six people to hold a club..." " This is it!" You shouted out, " I have to go back to the lab! Right now!"

You ran out of the classroom, passed through Saffron and Robin." Hey! Where are you going?!" Robin asked, "just follow me. I got everything!" You replied to them without stopping your feet. They looked at eachother, puzzled. But soon they catched up on you.

"So what's the thing?" Saffron asked, gasping for oxygen." The answer is in here..." You told her while you stopped by a classroom door.

" Lab 5?" They asked together. You nodded with a confident smile...
