Chapter 37 - Unsolved Mysteries

November flashed by quickly, and soon there was only a couple of school days left before their third week-long vacation.
On the very last day before the break, the pod met in Noriega’s class.
“Hay,” Maria said.
“Guys, I think the 3 of us may have been caught and entangled in a very serious situation involving Vicky, Sara, Katie, Dante, and the Supul Orb. No one player in this complicated game truly understands the whole situation, but the longer it lasts, the more dangerous it becomes,” Logan mentioned briefly in passing.
“How so?” Conrad asked.
“Well, the events in the basement a couple weeks back still both me. I mean, come on - how WEIRD was that?”
“Words don’t describe the qurikiness of the situation,” Conrad agreed.
“continue,” Maria said.
“Um, boqay,” Logan giggled, flattered. “I think there is something dark and mysterious and strange going on here, and we’re stuck right in the middle.”
“Yeah. We still need to know why Vicky and Katie wanted the Supul Orb. Why Sara is an emotional wreck, though something tells me that’s not really important. Why Dante likes Maria,” Conrad said.
“What Clovervicky is!” Maria said.
“What’s ‘Clovervicky’?” Logan asked.
“We dk! That’s why it’s a mystery, stupids!” Maria shouted.
“We were asking where you heard of Clovervicky, STUPID!” Conrad explained.
“Vicky wrote that ‘Clovervicky is coming’ or something in a letter to her sister, Sonya,” Maria explained.
“Maria! You STOLE Vicky’s letter??” Logan cried.
“No! While Vicky was writing, I set up a rope trapeze, suspended myself stealthily over the letter, read it, crawled back, and dismantled the trapeze before she noticed,” maria said. “What, did you think I picked up the letter off the ground and read it? NO! That would be rude and unusual!”
“Hmm. Maybe Clovervicky isn’t that important. Probably something stupid from a book that Vicky read,” Logan said.
“Oh,” Conrad said.
“Thus ends the conversation, and this chapter,” Maria smiled.
