Cyryll's pov
" hi my name is Corey Zane Velasquez, nice to meet you all" the new boy said.
"Mr. Velasquez, please sit beside miss Montefalco" Prof. Galvez said.
I saw the new boy sat beside Akeelah and I can't help myself to feel jealous I don't know why. My blood boils when I see them.
Akeelah's pov
The new boy sat beside me, he is so quiet.
"btw I'm Akeelah" I said as I handed out my hand. He just ignored me and just took out his textbooks. GOSHH! So mean!
__few hours later__
It's lunch already, I still forgot to collect the contribution for the New Era's day(the school anniversary).
"Cyryll? Are you already done collecting the contribution for the New Era's day? I asked.
"I'm done collecting for the juniors so are the others, the council said you are assigned to gather all the money" he said while placing his hand on my shoulders.
"okay sure" I said as I continued to eat my lunch.
__after class__
I'm done collecting the school contribution for the New Era's day I just have to give it to the principal. I was about to go and give it but I can't find the envelope that was filled of the money from the school contribution. Gosh, where did I put it?!"
"hey is something wrong?" Cyryll asked.
"I lost it" I said as I lower my head not to get an eye contact with him.
"WHAT?!, tell me your are lying" he respond
"no I'm not! I think someone stole it!" I said while I didn't notice that tears where falling on my cheeks.
" it's all my fault! I'm not careful enough, I'm the worst president ever" I said as I sat on the floor crying.
"I just lost 18,000" I said as tears fall from my eyes.
"hey it's okay...I'll make other plans just to bring that money back!" he said as he place his hands on my shoulder, comforting me.
"how?" I asked.
"just wait! We still have 2 days left, right?" he said while helping me stand up.
"the money problem is mine you should just worry about the thief" he added.
"okay" I answered.
__one day later__
Cyryll's pov
I'm worried about Akeelah, she is blaming herself just because the money got lost. I hope she finds out who the thief.
Akeelah's pov
I have suspects already but my main target is COREY! Because in my research I've notice that 2 students lost their cellphone on Corey's first day here and after that day many items where missing including the school contribution. As I analyzed in the other cases like this, it's easy to catch the culprit if I just pretended I'm one of them. Last night I already planned everything, I just hope Corey is the real culprit.
I'm now here at the locker area and I'm spying on Corey. I saw Corey placing two phone on his locker, now he's being suspicious. As I followed him I notice that he's grabs the wallet behind the professor's pocket. I knew it I was right!
I still followed him but I noticed that he's going to the rooftop, why would he go here?
As I climb up to the stairs I slipped on the last step.
" why are you following me? Are you a stalker?" he asked, glaring at me.
"don't change the subject you are the one who stole the school contribution right?" I asked, pointing my finger to him.
" so what? you are going to report me to the police?...as if the police will listen to you" he chuckled. I hate him already.
"you don't even have evidence" he said as he pushed me on the floor and left.
"he's right I don't have evidence to show to the police, how will anyone believe me" I said as I stand and fixed myself.

Akeelah's pov
"what's with your face? I heard that from Cyryll that the money was stolen?" Alice asked while we were where riding the bus.
"I know who's the thief but I don't have any evidence to show the cops" I said as I look out the window.
"well try the CCTV" she answered
"btw I have to go, this is my stop" she said before bidding her goodbye.
Alice is right we should check the CCTV but how? We aren't allowed to check the CCTV footage. It's out of reach for us students.
I didn't notice but I already missed my stop. Aish! What an idiot!
I got out of the bus and ran fast but I noticed the tennis court right beside me. I saw Cyryll playing tennis.
"hey Cyryll!" I shouted to get Cyryll's attention. I ran right beside him.
"oh right.. I forgot to tell you that I already returned the money to the principal's office" I said, wiping his sweat with the towel.
"but how?" I asked.
" you don't have to worry about that...so did you find the culprit?" he responded.
"yes but I still need evidence to show the cops" I said as I offered him a drink.
"well what do you want me to do?" he asked.
" I just need the CCTV footage of Corey doing the act" I answered.
"are you saying Corey is the thief?" he asked with his eyes wide open.
"yup! But I don't have access to the CCTV footage" I answered.
"well that's not a problem" Cyryll said while staring at me and giving me his annoying smile"
