Lila stood at the center of the room, her expression a mix of determination and panic. Her friends, Ethan, the school's notorious prankster, and Maya, the ever-curious classmate, were by her side. "We have to find those test papers, or we're all going to fail," Maya said, her eyes scanning the room for any clues. "Relax, maybe it's just another prank," Ethan shrugged, though his twitching fingers hinted at his own nervousness. "This is serious, Ethan," Lila snapped, her gaze dropping to the floor, where something caught her eye.

Lila knelt down, carefully picking up the phone. It was locked, but the image on the screen gave her pause. "Look at this," she said, showing it to Maya and Ethan. "That's the old library. No one goes there anymore." "Why would someone have a picture of that place?" Maya pondered aloud. "Maybe it's a clue,"

Cautiously, Lila led the way, her flashlight casting eerie shadows on the dusty walls. "This place gives me the creeps," Ethan whispered, though he was clearly intrigued. "Look for anything out of place," Maya instructed, her voice steady despite the unsettling atmosphere.

Lila smiled when she saw a poster for the school basketball match."But who plays basketball in our class?" Ethan questioned, his eyes narrowing as he thought of possible suspects. "Maybe someone who knew about this place and wanted to cause trouble," Maya speculated, glancing at Ethan, who looked slightly abashed.

"Did you take them, Ethan?" Lila asked, her tone gentle yet firm. "I swear I didn't," Ethan replied, his expression sincere. "But I might have mentioned the library to someone else." "Who?" Maya pressed, eager to solve the mystery.To Mike, he plays basketball every Friday after school.

The teacher, relieved to have the tests back, thanked Lila and her friends for their efforts. "Next time, let's keep the library stories to ourselves," Lila joked, nudging Ethan playfully. "Agreed," Ethan laughed, grateful for the adventure and the lesson learned.
