The bell rings, signaling the start of the first period. But do I care? No. My brain is too busy panicking about this chocolate situation.
I glance at the chocolate bar on my desk like it’s a ticking bomb. Ryan, of course, is enjoying my misery.

You should just eat it( whispers(

(glare at him) And risk my siblings sniffing out the scent of romance? No thanks.
Before we can argue more, our teacher, Mrs. Emmy , enters the class. She’s nice, but she’s got this scary ability to spot students who aren’t paying attention. I quickly stuff the chocolate into my pocket and sit up straight.

Alright, class. Open your books to page 47 ( says, adjusting her glasses)

Just as I reach for my textbook, a small note falls out of it.

(sees it too. His eyes widen) Bro…

With shaky hands, I unfold the paper. It’s written in neat handwriting, and the message is short but enough to make my heart race.
Hope this chocolate makes your day sweeter.

( grabs my arm) DUDE. IT’S ANOTHER CLUE.
Ethan/ second middle child
(groan) Not helping, Ryan.
Ryan/ Ethan bff
Do you recognize the handwriting? (whispers)
Ethan/ second middle child
I squint at the paper, but it doesn’t look familiar. The letters are too perfect, too… elegant.
Ryan/ Ethan bff
(smirks)Maybe it’s a nerd. Or a rich kid. Or both. (っ˘з(˘⌣˘ )
Ethan/ second middle child
( sigh, shoving the note into my pocket) I need to find this person fast before Jake or Liv finds out first.
Ryan/ Ethan bff
(grins) Looks like we’ve got a case to solve.
And just like that, my already chaotic life just got even more complicated.
