Why would she do that? Why? The students exchanged curious glances.

One student asked, "Hazel's pretty popular. She wouldn't accuse Emily without a reason, right? Perhaps Emily really did steal the necklace?"

"I doubt it. Emily doesn't seem like the type," another replied.

Someone added, "Just because she seems nice doesn't mean she is."

"Didn't Emily just say that if she wanted a necklace, her brother would buy it for her? Elias is

a famous doctor, and Mr. Dean, his best friend, is super rich, too. Why would someone with

all that money need to steal a necklace? It doesn't add up," another pointed out.

"Are you sure you didn't just misplace it, Hazel? Perhaps Emily didn't take it after all," someone suggested.

Another agreed, "Yeah, why don't you double-check at home?"

Hazel's frustration grew as the students continued defending Emily. She snapped, "I've already searched my entire house! Emily was the only person in my room yesterday. If it wasn't her, who else could it have been?"

"Yeah," Hazel finally answered, though her confidence was fading.

Emily raised an eyebrow. "Okay, so did it go missing while I was still wearing it or after I left?"

"After you left, of course!" Hazel insisted, trying to sound confident,

Emily could hardly believe how naive Hazel was being. Staying calm, she replied, "Funny,

because I remember you taking the necklace off me before I left. When I walked out, I didn't even have pockets. So even if I wanted to steal it, where exactly would I have hidden it?" Without thinking, Hazel blurted, "In your shoe!"

Emily just nodded, playing along. "So, no matter what, you're set on blaming me for taking your necklace, huh?"

Hazel frowned. "Why do you keep saying I'm blaming you? Isn't it obvious? If you don't confess, I'll just involve the authorities and let them sort it out."

Emily was left speechless by Hazel's insistence.
