"Abdul? You too? No, it has to be them!"

"Jake, the only people that say they saw them were you and Altair, and you both said that was a lie. "

"So what Faith? We still don't know who it was!"

"But we know our class can't get punished. Do you hate him more than you love free time!"

"No, of course not," visibly torn, not helped by all of the jurors, including his friends' serious looks on his face. He sighed, grabbing the marker.

"Not guilty."

Kathy blew a large breath of relief! "Yay, we did it. Spike is innocent!"

Faith, Marigold, Jamiya, Abdul, and Malachi were the only ones to clap.

"That still doesn't help us. They said outside is banned."

"But we could convince them to let us use the gym. It's gonna get colder in like a few months."

"Better than you all complaining that we're stuck in the auditorium for twenty minutes."

Mikey took his phone back, noticing they accidentally were recording. Preferring to hide his conversation with Faith, he lowered the volume, playing it to see two people approaching the gate before they turned the phone with the sounds of the windows breaking and the whistle.

Faith was secretly looking at it, tapping him while whispering. "We forgot, there's other than those two who said they saw it."

After reminding him, he raised his hand.

"I know who did it," with Faith going with him to Ms. Spring and Almore to show them the proof.

"We have to go to the principal now!"

Everyone was starting to antsy and excited but Ms. Almore slightly raised her voice.

"Quietly line up or we sit back down."

Reluctantly, all of them quieted down as she got the class through the hallway. After waiting for some of them to stop having side conversations in the middle of the hallway, they got to the main office about ten minutes later, where the door was locked.

The guidance counselor opened the door.

"Why is the whole class down here?"

"They have something to show Principal Putam. Mikey and Faith know who attacked Ms. Putam's class."

The manager knocked on their door after seeing their evidence, letting them know the details.

"Just wait one minute."

Both of them heard Spike's voice.

"You think the Sorrow Seeds are taking him over?"

" If he's been alone he may have had one injected in him. And if he can't control his rage-

"Hurry up."

"They can enter."

Faith started getting nervous, but Mikey held her hand. The two turned the handlebar together and walked in to see Spike breathing as hard as he could.

"You said you know what happened?"

"We have proof of it. Look!"

They showed her the phone, and their screenshots from when Abdul spotted the car and Mikey in different directions, but the second video as well.

Paused right behind their faces, a zoomed in look showed two kids smaller and with different hair styles than Spike near the gate, with one of their arms in a throwing position.

"Is that?"

Spike also got up to see.

"Dahmir and Demean?"

"Tweedle dim and dumber said earlier they were mad Ms. Puckett took their ball."

"And they tried to steal one of my books from home!"

The principal looked surprised, though exasperated, heading out for the loud speaker.

"Dahmir and Demean Truman, please arrive to the main office or security will come to find you."

Spike didn't look pleased one bit.

"I told you that they framed me and you didn't believe me! They're going to run away and hide because you keep protecting them!"

A familiar wind blew through the room and a page slowly started to insert itself inside him. Faith grabbed it before it could form a Sorrow Seeds, tapping her grimoire with one hand to hold it from sinking into him further.

"I can't risk pulling it out here," she whispered, handing him an object.

"I'll get those two bozos down here. Just hold on!"

He raced past his classmates to the security desk but none of them saw the duo on the staircases.

"Water or fooling around on the third floor," sprinting through the halls until he arrived there, finding a teacher asking both of them to head downstairs like they were supposed too.

"You shut your mouth!"

"First you don't wanna be in class, now you're mad when they call you to leave? Make it make sense!"

Miley laughed with amusement. They looked at him, telling him to stop laughing.

"Well it isn't the price you paid for framing Spike. You the baddest kids in the school but you can't take the credit when everyone's looking for the suspect? That's low, even for you two."

Dahmir laughed. "Serves him right. He told her we hit her car with the ball. Now she'll see what happens when she messes with us."

Demean giggled. "Won't be talking when I punch your mouth shut."

"Spell mouth."

"M, a, w, t, h."

"If you stayed in class for once, maybe you could spell better."

"That's it!" He lead Dahmir to attack Mikey. The latter could handle one at a time, but two was too much, rushing into the stairwell, while the older brother picked up a caution sign and threw it at him.

Mikey slid down on the pole and jumped off the wall to flip over, surfing onto the second railing while they raced after him in hot pursuit.

Being chased through the hall, Mikey's loud breathing made them get seconds close, rushing through his classmates to corner him into the office.

Mikey smiled, pulling them both inside and throwing them to the floor.

"Mr. Arclight!"

He played her a recording from Faith's phone: everyone nearby could hear their voices admitting their involvement.

They tried to deny it as Faith managed to pull out the grimoire with their bodies covering her, tapping into her powers to yank the Sorrow Seed out of Spike's body.

"And now, case closed."
