The First Day of School Mystery (5 page)

Cam and Eric hurried out of the room.

“Don’t run!” Mr. Day shouted to them from the other end of the hall.

Cam and Eric stopped running.

“There you are,” Mrs. Lane said when Cam and Eric got on the bus. “I thought you’d never get here and we’d never get home.”

“Never get home!” Tommy-in-Kindergarten said. “How will I eat my dinner! How will I get to sleep!”

“I’m sorry, Tommy,” Mrs. Lane said. “I always complain.”

“And we always get home in time for dinner,” Eric told Tommy-in-Kindergarten. Then Eric turned to Cam and said, “And you always solve mysteries.”

“Not
always,”
Cam said.

“Well, lots of times,” Eric told her. “And I’m
always
happy to help.”

Mrs. Lane started to drive off. It was time to ride home after a very exciting first day of school.
