The Game

Sophie slipped into the school wondering why she’d thought this was such a great idea.

Sure she’d needed to find a way to distract Keefe from the upcoming mission, but she was regretting choosing this. The game wasn’t a game as so much as a dare. Each person had to sneak into Foxfire and retrieve something the other person had placed in there.They were given a clue to where it might be hiding. The first person back got to choose their reward. It was a stupid, foolish, ridiculous thought. She would be in enormous trouble if they got caught and she was pretty sure Keefe was going to beat her. She tried not to think of the millions of embarrasing rewards he could ask for. Ro also had joined them, which Sophie felt was a very VERY bad idea.

Yes this was a terrible idea.

There was no sign of Keefe or Ro yet, but she was sure he was in already. The object she'd hidden for Keefe was a prattles pin of a gulon. She was supposed to be looking for a stuffed animal, but she wasn't sure what it was. Keefe wouldn't give her anymore details which Sophie thought was REALLY unfair.

Sophie pulled the note out of her pocket to read the clue again.

"The Mysterious New Girl."

That could be two places, the room where morning annoucements were made, or the hallway where she first met Keefe. She decided to check the Anouncements room first since it was closer.

Keefe smiled at his clue, Sophie hadn't written much, but he knew immediately where to go.

"PINK!"
