I ran into the library at 8:30am, grabbed my book from the shelf and found the note.
My favourite colour is purple and my favourite food is pizza. What’s yours? ♥e
I wrote back.
I love pizza too! Do you like reading? ♥ Liv
I folded the long paper and put it back in the book and placed the book on the shelf. I couldn’t wait for lunch to come.
Riling……
The bell rang, I grabbed my pencil to go out but Miss Melody stopped me.
“Olivia, do you have your poem?”
I gasped, Oh no! I had forgotten to finish it for homework.
“Sorry Miss Melody, I forgot.” I mumbled looking at the door. My note was waiting for me. I wasn’t happy.
“Eat your lunch and come straight up to finish your poem please.”
This was no fair! I felt like crying. Today I wouldn’t read my note.
At 8:30 am the next morning I ran into the library.
“Olivia, no running please!”
“Sorry Mrs Stacey.” I brisked walked to my bookshelf and took the note from the book.
Sorry you had to stay in the class yesterday. I hope it wasn’t too awful! I love to read – especially mystery books! What do you like to read? ♥e
I smiled. I loved mysteries too! Hold on, how did e know I stayed in class? Was he or she in my class too?
Suddenly I was excited!
Are you in my class? ♥ Liv
I tucked the note neatly inside and couldn’t wait to see what E replied.
The next day, I ran out of the class and straight to my bookshelf. What! Oh no, where was my note? I looked and looked – the book wasn’t there! I asked Mrs Stacey if the book had been borrowed, but she said no one had borrowed it.
I felt like the air had been sucked from my lungs. Why was the book missing? During arts and craft class that
afternoon I was sad. My book friend had disappeared with the book.
After school I bolted to the library to see if my book had returned. There was no book but there was a note taped to the shelf.
Hey Liv,
I think we should have lunch together. Meet me at the year 3 lunch table. I will have a purple lunch box. ♥e
I gasped. I was finally going to meet my book friend! Yay. Tomorrow couldn’t come soon enough.
Riling……
The lunch bell rang. I almost tripped on the concentre as I ran towards the year 3 lunch table.
I looked around but couldn’t see a purple lunch box. Suddenly a girl moved to the side and I saw the purple lunch box. The girl sitting behind it waved at me. Her sparkly purple glasses shone in the sunlight.
“Elizabeth Stacey?” I said. “You’re my book friend?”
Elizabeth smiled sheepishly, “Yeah, it’s me.” She fixed her glasses. “My mum said that I had to stop with the mystery and talk to you in person. But I LOVE mystery and I just had to do it! I hope you’re not disappointed.”
I shook my head, no never!
I laughed, “I loveeeee mystery too! I think this has been the best mystery ever!”
We both laughed and I sat down to have lunch.I had a good feeling that Lizzy and I were going to be best friends.
