A Newgrange Middle Mystery

I had always known there was something wrong with Newgrange Middle School.

Oh, sure, from the outside, it looked just like any normal educational facility. Students were working on assignments given by the average teachers who would then send everyone to a average lunch filled with average people and not-so-average food. Yep, any other school.

But the ones that did find something, the ones that said something about it—well, let’s just say they were marked “absent” for the rest of the year. We would get so close to discovering something, and then POOF ! One of us would stay home sick the next day. And the next day. And the next day.

But I may have just found what all those vanishing students had discovered. I may have just found out what made whoever-it-was make those students go “bye-bye”.

The only problem is, now they’re coming for me.
