2 and 50. A Mystery Novel

As soon as the bell rang at 2:50pm, all the students of Morrison and Hartwelll Middle School came swarming out of the large, dignified brick building in droves, trampling over the well-worn gray stones on the large deck. Among the the 400-something students on the deck, only one of them was currently heading back to the school. The lone figure stopped at the doorway and bent down, as if searching for something. She apparently found it, as she stood up triumphantly and put something around her next, firmly securing it with a yank. Ophelia Lee, commonly known as Lee, pulled her old yellow-smiley face backpack up on her shoulders, smiling fondly at the necklace below her chin, resting serenely on her chest.The necklace was a gift from her grandmother before she died of tuberculosis. It was made of blue and black beads, with a small frog shaped charm in the middle, made out of sterling silver. Lee took out her old-chunky cell phone, still with a stain from the time she spilled cherry-red nail polish all over it. Dialing a familiar number, she raised the phone to her ear. "Mom? Where are you?" She said, brushing a stray strand of deep brown hair behind her ear, being careful not to get it caught in her small silver-leaf shaped earrings. Noticing a small-red smart car pull into the schools parking lot, Lee switched off her cellphone. As she walked briskly toward the car, an arm grabbed her shoulder. "Lee!" Christian said loudly, as her other friends Collin and Mia walked up to her. "We have to get our Social Studies project done. Can we meet sometime over the weekend?" He said, fingering a large watch on his left hand. Mia shook her dark curly hair and waggled her dark-chocolate colored fingered. "We need to get it done! Its due on Monday!" Collin added, "We know you're a procrastinator, so we decided to double team you." The three friends grinned evily. Lee sighed, knowing she couldn't put it off any longer. "Okay, you win. Lets meet up this Saterday. I'll call you?" They agreed, and Lee waved bye before going down to her mom's car. As she walked, she noticed a large Channel 5 van drive past the school as she got in her moms car. "Hi, mom." Shelby Lee smiled back at her daughter, as she started the car. "Hi honey. Good day?" Lee leaned back in her chair, and started saying "Yeah, it was okay, but..." She never got past that, for as she spoke, they arrived home, and Lee saw a mass of policemen and the news-van parked outside her neighbors' door.
