One student remarked, "I really don't think Hazel would lie about this."

Another countered, "Still, Emily's story makes sense too. Think about it-Emily's brother is Elias, and Elias' best friend is Mr. Dean. If Elias is so close to Mr. Dean, he'd possibly treat Emily like family. Besides, Mr. Dean's family runs a jewelry company. She could just ask Elias or Mr. Dean for one if she really wanted a diamond necklace. Do you really think she'd need to steal from Hazel?"

"That does make sense," someone agreed.

Another student admitted, "I'm really torn now. If Emily's telling the truth, then Hazel must be up to something shady. However, if Hazel's story is true, then Emily would be the real thief."

Sitting nearby, Samantha was growing increasingly frustrated. Who does this Hazel think she is, asking Emily to spy on Finley's bid?

Hazel's company seems to be using shady tactics to snag the lowest bid. I thought Noah was bad, but this is a whole new level.

Samantha thought, Come on, I really don't know. I usually don't pay much attention to others, but I need to know if Hazel's messing with Finley.

She grabbed her phone, got up, and determinedly walked out of the classroom.

Leaning against the wall near Emily's classroom, Samantha pretended to listen to music while actually keeping a close watch for Hazel's next move. She figured, They said Hazel already called the cops. I'm sure she'll try something before they get here. I need to see what Hazel plans to do to Emily before making any moves myself.

As the class bell rang, students began returning to their rooms-except for...
