Chapter Twelve

Bev waved to the last student as they filed from her classroom and let out a loud sigh of relief. The children had been great, they weren’t the reason for her sigh. It was the odd things happening in her classroom that had her stressed. Her classroom hadn’t been as disorganized today when she’d come in for classes, but she did find more of the white flakes everywhere. She’d finally figured out they were from the ceiling and that she wasn’t imagining it. It appeared as though someone had accessed the ceiling from her classroom. She couldn’t think of any reason why Ava might have done so and no one else should have been in the building.

She decided to ask the other teachers if they were having similar problems in their classrooms. She caught up with some of them in the gymnasium as they waited for the parents to pick up the rest of the children. She saw a cluster of teachers and began walking over to join them. She could see that Heather was talking and she was really animated about something.

As Bev reached the group, she heard Heather say, “Why would anyone do that?”

“Do what?” Bev asked. The group of teachers shifted so that Bev could join their circle.

“Someone keeps unplugging the computer cart in my classroom,” Heather said. “I don’t want to get anyone in trouble, but I’m going to have to say something. I just don’t understand it. I put a note on the cart after the first time. I thought that would take care of it.”

“Who do you think is doing it?” Bev asked, curious.

Heather shrugged. “It must be the cleaning crew, I guess.”

Bev shook her head. “It can’t be. There’s a cleaning crew of one and Ava Prescott wouldn’t do that. Especially not if you specifically left a note asking her not to.”

“The note was gone this morning,” Heather pulled her eyebrows together in a frown. “I honestly don’t know what to think but I can’t have my classes interrupted like this.”

“I had an issue too,” Andrea looked around the group. “I didn’t want to say anything either. I left my lesson plan book on my desk. I know we didn’t have to turn one in for the Kids Camp, but I’m just used to working from one.” Andrea shrugged. “At my age, I don’t feel self-conscious about my teaching style. If I want to use lesson plans, I’m going to do it.”

“What happened?” Carlos asked.

“It looked like someone had stepped on it,” Andrea said.

“I’m not sure we can call the police about any of this,” Bryan said. “Especially not if everything isn’t just mistakes made by a cleaning person.”

“It all seems pretty odd though,” Allison said. “It feels like something is going on and it’s a little scary.”

Erin nodded in agreement. “I think we need to do something. There have been too many odd things happening in the last three days. They can’t all be a coincidence or one cleaning person. That wouldn’t make sense.
