Adkins Family Secrets

The final bell of the day rings, the sound echoing through the bustling hallways of Summit Hill Collegiate. You slam your locker shut, the metal clanging loudly in the sudden rush of students. Beside you, your cousin Elise is waiting patiently, her eyes bright with expectation. “You’re driving me home again today,” Elise says, a hopeful lilt in her voice. Suddenly, two police officers walk past you, heading directly for the vice principal’s office. Your heart begins to pound in your chest, drowning out the sounds of the hallway. Your fingers twitch, a desperate urge to text Isaac and tell him to get the drugs out of your locker. But you’re smarter than that. You can’t incriminate yourself. They might not even be here for you. You need to stay cool.
