OOEY CLUEY

Lolly pushed herself up off the ground. “Now my new sweatshirt has a mud spot and a grass stain.”

“Lolly,” said Joe, eyes widening. “Where did all that candy come from?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” Adam snatched the backpack out of Lolly’s grasp. “Lolly Sugarman stole the scavenger hunt prize!”

Cissy gasped and ran to Adam’s side, her eyes on the backpack.

“Did not!” said Lolly. She grabbed her backpack and began shoveling the spilled candy back inside. Then she paused and looked at her team.

Frank, Joe, and Phil were all gaping at the candy pieces still on the ground. None of them knew what to say—it didn’t look good for Lolly.

“You believe me, don’t you?” Lolly asked.

“Well . . . ,” said Phil, red-faced.

“I mean, why do you have all that candy?” asked Joe.

Lolly rolled her eyes. “Guys, this is my personal candy stash. I always have it on me, at all times.”

Cissy looked at her feet. “I don’t know. . . .”

Lolly stood. She held a handful of the candy that had spilled out of her backpack. The wrappers were bright purple, with white polka dots. “Do you see what this is?” she asked the boys.

“Proof that Team Hardy won’t be winning the scavenger hunt?” Adam asked, cackling at his own joke.

“It’s Grapelicious Ooey Gooey gum,” said Lolly, as if the answer was obvious.

“So?” Adam asked.

“So, I’m always chewing Grapelicious Ooey Gooey gum. Ask anyone!”
