Official Report
Michael
Jumper was in the Office right after home room.
He said he needed to see the principal.
Right now. Mrs. Keyz tried to stall him—told him to make
an appointment—but Michael (I’d never seen
him so … excited? upset?) just ignored her and walked right in Mr. Leeder’s
office!
He
closed the door behind him. But still I
could hear Mr. Leeder’s loud voice: “Michael, what are you—?”
But
that’s as far as he got. I heard
Michael’s voice—but no words—and then it got very quiet.
Then
Mr. Leeder came rushing out, Michael right behind him—and down the halls they
ran.
Ran!

Note in File
Well,
Mr. Leeder and Michael, all out of breath, come breaking right into English
class. (I was glad I left my * in my
locker.) Then Mr. Leeder grabs a chair,
takes it over by Mr. Stratford’s cabinet, steps up on the chair. He sees something because I hear him say,
“Oh, God!”
But
whatever it is, I can’t see it ’cause he turns his back and slips whatever it
is into his coat pocket.
Then
him and Michael go running off down the hall again.
And
then, pretty soon, I see outside the window, I see police cars pulling up. A mess of them. No sirens, no lights—so … something not all
that serious, I figure.
