     So here I am in detention with my best friend Simon 

Malark, oh sorry I forgot to introduce myself my name is 

Peter Solemor I was born in California and moved to Florida 

I was 6. I am 13 now and go to Ronald Parker Middle 

school and I am in grade 7, I only have one friend his name 

is Simon Malark. He doesn't talk much but he will talk to me 

occasionally. At our school there are so called groups, we're 

in the "Loner group", every one wants to be in the "Popular 

group" but there's one problem their "Leader" Jeffery 

Starward is super mean and only lets his friends in, and 

that's when our adventure begins.Simon and I were getting 

really board with just the two of us, we were thinking of any 

other groups we could join we thought long and hard but 

couldn't think of anything until the 2nd day of thinking. 

Simon thought of the impossible, trying to join the popular 

group.

     I told him he way crazy but then i thought about it, we 

might just be able to do it. The next day me and Simon 

were walking to our next class when we passed Jeffery, of 

course he was with all his friends but some how we got to 

ask him a question. Before we could ask him a question he 

said "What do you want loners" I saw Simon clench his fist 

but I gave him a look to calm down, then I asked to join 

the "Popular" group. Right then he looked around the halls 

checking for anyone then he leaned towards us and 

whispered "Meet me in the cafeteria at 1:23 today!" yelled 

"But that's during class!" Jeffery just turned and went 

down the hallway, at the end of the hallway he yelled "Be 

there".Right then a teacher came out and yelled "WHY 

AREN'T YOU IN CLASS!", he started walking towards us, 

we looked at each other and ran.

     The rest of the day I watched the clock and waited 

for 1:23, I asked my teacher Mr.Barwood if I could go to 

the washroom at 1:21. As soon as I got out I saw Simon 

getting out too. We ran to the cafeteria and saw Jeffery 

standing there, he walked towards us , when he got to 

us he said "To join the popular group you need to get 

something for me." Simon said quickly "Yea anything" 

then Jeffery said "I'll give you till tomorrow to decide to 

steal the Platinum baseball card of Babe Ruth from Toys 

for Life." Me and Simon were in shock but when I was 

going to say something to Jeffery he had already walked 

away, so we went to class thinking about it.   I thought it 

was a bad idea but Simon convinced me by saying "It 

will be good for the long run." The next day we told 

Jeffery that were in, he said "You have 5 days to get it, 

your time starts now."

     The next 4 days after school me and Simon went to 

Toys for Life everyday to check out the vents, security 

cameras, exits, the card (placed in a display case). We 

had to make do with the materials bungee cords, dog 

harnesses, ropes, black clothes, and fishhooks. On the 

fifth day (saturday) we went to the store at 6:00 pm, we 

were extremely ready for this, we spent hours figuring 

out every detail. A couple minutes before, we went in as 

customers but we sneaked into the control room and cut 

the wires for the security cameras. When everyone left 

and the store closed we started our plan, we climbed to 

the vents and went to the vent gate right over the card 

and set up the ropes.

     We waited about 10 minutes and then we attached 

the ropes to me and I got lowered. I took the glass 

covering off with my gloves and placed it beside the 

card, then I grabbed the card and slipped it into my 

pocket. Then I made a mistake when I grabbed the 

glass and put it back into place, I put it on wrong and 

it triggered an alarm, i wanted to run away but I was 

stuck in mid air. I turned to give the signal to pull me 

up but Simon was already pulling me up. I got in the 

vent as soon as the guards came. We looked at each 

other with a scared/happy look, we started crawling 

through the vents but they started creaking so we 

went to the nearest opening and jumped down. 

Luckily it was in the stuffed animal aisle.
