Starflight's POV

Starflight's was in the library, as usual. He wondered where Fatespeaker was.

Oh right, she's at Mr. Morrowseer's office because she had a 'knife in her locker' and was a suspect for Mr. Arctic's death.

Almost if on cue, Fatespeaker burst through the library door. "STARFLIGHT BY GOLLY MANGOES WE KNOW WHO THE MURDERER WAS!! And plus! IT WASN'T ME! Well, of course it wasn't me, why would I kill anyone?" She shouted and earned an annoyed 'shush' from the librarian.

The purple haired girl skipped over the Starflight's table. He closed his book and looked up at the beaming girl. "Well, who is it?" He whispered.

"WHY ARE YOU WHISPERING??!!! I CAN HARDLY HEAR YOU!" She shouted. The librarian glared at them and turned back to her desk.

"Come one Fatespeaker, Let's go back to our dorm. At least that's a place where you can shout freely." He said, a little louder so that Fatespeaker could hear.

She nodded and grabbed Starflight's arm, pulling him to the door.

"So, who's the murderer?" Starflight asked as Fatespeaker settled down next to him on his bed.

"Guess!" She beamed. Starflight's chuckled. "Why are you so happy that they just found a murderer?" He asked.

"They didn't! Peril did!" She said. "Also, I'm just going to tell you because, let's be honest here, you take forever to answer a simple guessing question! It's the one. The only....drum roll please! Darkstalker!"

Starflight's flinched. He ran into Darkstalker one day and he seemed pretty nice. How could he be the murderer? "But how?" He asked. "He seemed pretty nice."

"But look!" Fatespeaker grabbed her backpack and pulled out her phone. She opened it and found a video posted on their school FaceScoll. She opened it up and began to play.

Starflight was shook. "I know right! That's exactly how I felt when I first saw it! We all watched the video and then Mr. Morrowseer was all like, 'I need to check if Arctic really was his father.' And then I was all like, 'How did you find out Peril?' And then she said, 'I followed him and recorded it from around the corner.' And then Mr. Morrowseer said, 'You five are dismissed, I will be interrogating a new student.' And so then, I walked to the library to find you!" Fatespeaker said.

Just then, the announcements came on and Mr. Morrowseer said, "Good afternoon students, or whatever, I have found the murderer of Mr. Arctic: Darkstalker. All thanks to Peril, we have found him."

Starflight looked back at Fatespeaker. "Doesn't it seem too....easy? Darkstalker murdered someone-his Father-and then he just gets caught? Just like that? He's really smart. All A's in every class, top smartest in the whole school!" He exclaimed.

Fatespeaker shrugged. "At least it's taken care of. I'm going to buy a milkshake with Sunny and Kinkajou, bye!" She said, racing out the door.

It still feels...off. Maybe I just worry too much, like Fatey said.

Starflight sighed. "It still seems too easy to me."
