The Locker brake in


Beeeeeeep! Everyone was pouring out into the halls. Today on a sunny day in Honolulu Hawaii, Carter Jackson was having an ordinary day. He was walking to his locker talking to his friends. They turned the corner and saw his locker. He froze. His locker was wide open, textbooks scattered on the ground, along with some with some pens and a notebook. The most important thing was missing. His backpack. It was $100 alone, but his laptop, tablet, and phone were in his backpack. That’s when he realized it. He had been robbed!
He ran down to the office. The principal was typing at her computer .He burst through the door and instantly started telling her what happened. “I was walking down the hall with Trevor and when we turned the corner, bam, locker wide open with nothing in it.” Carter said. “Well this is a serious matter.” Said Mrs. Skinners with a baffled look on her face. “The locks on my lockers have just as good of locks as safes do.” They both sat there in silence, thinking about what to do next.
When he had taken 2 steps in the door his mother had already asked him a million questions. He said, “I’m fine mom, but my locker was broken into as you already know. Mrs. Skinners said she would watch the school even better than normal.” His mother was worried about him and was so puzzled to why someone would do this to him. She and Carters father discussed this for along time that night. Carter wouldn’t stop saying to his parents that he was dying without his phone. But sadly he knew that he would have to live without it.
Trevor was one of Carters friends and he reminded him of his best friend in Minnesota. Trevor walked up to Carter and said, “I over herd some kids talking about your locker combo, and someone knowing it.” Carter only knew 3 people that knew his combo, his parents and Trev. If someone else knew and broke into his locker why wouldn’t they tell the whole school? “Well do you know who said it?” Carter asked. “No, it was loud in the lunch room. I’m lucky I heard that much.”
Trevor turned the corner to see Kelekoa the school bully coming to find Carter. Kelekoa always picked on Carter because he is bigger then most kids. “Hey dweeb, heard you locker was robbed. I hope the person does it again.” Said Kelekoa. Kelekoa took out his phone and looked at the time. Carter was surprised to see the same phone he had. No one has ever had the same phone because it was very rare to see at phone companies, because the model had a lot of problems but Carter’s worked fine so he kept it. He thought that Kelekoa had to have taken him phone. “Hey that my phone!” “No my mom just got it for me she said it is rare to see and she said that this model has problems but she was guarantied to not have any problems.” The bell rang just as they finished talking. Mrs. Skinners stepped into the hall. “Get to class everyone.” Mrs. Skinners said. “Carter are you ok? I heard your voice rise and I wanted to make sure you are ok.” “It’s all ok but I think Kelekoa did it. He has the same phone as I do and I haven’t seen anyone with that phone before, ever.” Mrs. Skinners was stunned to hear this. “It would have to be someone strong, because they had to pry the top half open.” Said Carter. He thought to himself he is a tall, big, athletic, wears rugged clothes, and his family is ruff. He has big hands. He fits the description. Why wouldn’t rob his locker. Mrs. Skinners phone rang, so Carter went to class.
The bell rang for the end of school and Carter quickly ran and got his soccer stuff on. His school team has a very big game to play today. Carter was very good at soccer and was already the captain on his school team. He was look forward to the game all day. This was the only thing that could get his mind off the locker thing.
He walked on the bus with Trevor and sat down. Carter counted the people on the bus and made sure everyone was here. The back of the bus was where the nerdy kids sat. All they did was play on their phones. But the leader of that group was a creepy kid named Ethan. He was always mad and stares at Carter all the time. “Why does that kid always stare at me?” Asked Carter. “People say that he was going to be the next captain and you took it from him.” Trevor said. “Well that sucks for him.” The bus pulled out of the parking lot and they were headed to the biggest game of the year.
When Carter finished 2nd hour he headed for his locker. When he got there he took a good look at his locker. When the thief opened the top half of his locker it was with force. They seemed to have used something to pry open the locker then just used force to open the rest. His locker was bent at the top. He had all the evidence he needed. It was Kelekoa. The person had to be tall enough to reach the top of the lockers. He had to have access to the school and his dad is the football coach. He had to be able to get a crow bar and his dad’s job is a mechanic so he had everything he needed. Carter was about to go to class when he saw a piece of fabric caught on his locker. It was red and black plaid. Same shirt Kelekoa was wearing today.
Carter was down talking to Mrs. Skinner when Kelekoa walked in. “I didn’t do it!” He said “It was Ethan he just offered to sell me a laptop with you name on it.” Carter thought about it and it made since. Ethan’s dad coached the basketball team and his dad runs an auto shop. Mrs. Skinners called Ethan down to the office she asked him if he had done it and he said no. She then said lets check you locker. There in his locker sure enough, all Carters stuff. Ethan was then suspended for 3 weeks and had to write a sincere apology.
