Eddie" What's that got to do with exercise?"

Charlie" I don't know, Jerome made him coach and I think it's gone to his head, you okay, why are we standing by Sweetie's office"

Eddie" I want to prove to Patricia, that we are not teachers pets"

Charlie" What has she said now?"

Eddie" Well it's more of what she has done, look"

I pull my sister around the corner and she laughs when she sees the dog treats all over the floor.

Charlie" Dog treats?"

Eddie" Yeah for the teachers pet"

Charlie" Of course, wait are they in my locker?"

Eddie" No, only mine"

Charlie*chuckles* She so likes you"

My sister continues to smirk at me and I shove her.

Eddie" She does not"

Charlie" Oh yeah, then why did she put them in just your locker and not mine as well"

Eddie" Fine, look I have a idea on how we can prank Sweetie"

Charlie" Ooo tell me"

Eddie" If we can find anything on him that we can show the whole school"

Charlie" Ooo, I love that idea"

Eddie" Come on, we need to go in now before Sweetie gets back"

Charlie" Okay but how are we going to get in, he has it locked"

Eddie" No problem, I've got this"

I hold up a pin and start to unlock the door. It swings open with ease and I smirk. We both enter Sweetie's office and start to look around.

Eddie" Okay so we are looking for anything we can embarrass him with"

Charlie" Okay"

We both very quickly start searching through his things, looking under things and looking in the drawers. My sister then picks up a tape with a label that reads County fair on it.

Charlie" Eddie what about this, it's practically perfect"

Eddie" Oh yes, this is going to be brilliant, come on lets get out of here before he gets back"

Charlie's POV

All of us Anubis House Residents are sat at the table for breakfast the next morning and by then news of Mara's Article as reached the entire school and both Anubis and Isis Houses. I am sat next to my brother who is pouring himself a bowl of cereal, he offers me milk which I gladly accept. Fabian is holding his phone in his hands.

Fabia "Mara, how could you write this?"

Amber "Write what?"

Fabian"What if they close down the school site because of it?"  

Eddie "Chill, man, the story was off the chain. It had to come out."

Charlie" Yeah, I don't trust Vera"

Amber has finished reading the article and hands Fabian back his phone.

Amber" "Shocked face. Mara, you destroyed her."

Mara then jumps up from her seat that to me suggest she is leaving for school already, even though she has hardly touched her breakfast.

Mara" I stand by what I said and I'll prove it"

Eddie"You go, girl,"

Charlie" Yeah I'm with my twin on this one"

We then all see Victor in the enter the room and if looks could kill Mara would be dead. The dining room has gone very quiet

Victor" "There is to be a hearing today, to ascertain the legitimacy or otherwise of a story that has appeared on the school website. I am instructing all Anubis House students to attend and hear the truth."

Victor goes into the kitchen, leaving us to converse amongst ourselves.

Amber "Sorry, Mara,"

Twins "Why a hearing?"

Fabian"We'll all behind you. It'll be okay."

We decide to head off to school , me and my brother swing on our satchels and follow Patricia out.

Fabian's POV

Fabian"Okay, sweet scent of mourning essence"

Nina"It's 'mourning' as in funerals, not 'morning' as in breakfast."

Nina then picks up her cinnamon bun and hands it to me.

Fabian"Yeah, I'm okay. You can have it."

Nina"No, smell it ,It smells familiar, like...it's like one of the jars from the tunnels."

Fabian "Cinnamon, The Egyptians used lots of spices in embalming, Wait, let's have a look, "Cinnamon: a spice from the bark of the cinnamomum tree. In the ancient world, it was widely used in funerals and in the process of mummification."

Nina "Gran always said breakfast was the most important meal of the day."

I walk into the school with my brother we were talking about the hearing that we were all meant to attend. We reach our lockers and I turn around to unlock my locker when Jerome appears beside me.

Jerome" Hey Charlie"

Charlie" Oh hello Jerome, have you heard about his hearing?"

Jerome" Yeah, since when did we ever need a hearing?"

Charlie" To be honest I'm with Mara on this one, I've never trusted Vera"

My brother then comes over and Jerome steps back a bit. I chuckle.

Eddie" Hello Clarke, what are you doing with my sister?"

Charlie" Chill Eddie, we are just talking about the hearing"

Eddie" Oh yeah, what's up with that?"

Jerome" I don't know we have never needed to have a hearing before"

Charlie" I'm telling you Victor likes Vera, have you seen the way he looks at her when she walks in the room"

Both and Eddie and Jerome chuckle.

Mr Sweet"This hearing has been called to determine the accuracy," of an article written by Mara Jaffray about Vera Devenish. We should begin in a few moments."

Mr Sweet "Quiet, everyone, Mara, could you please present your case first?"

Mara nods and stands to present her evidence.

Story Notes:
So after pushing The Twins convince Mara to make her article live and it sends shockwaves through the school. Sibuna get closer to figuring out the chemical task and the whole school gets ready for the hearing.
