science club hoping to learn how to take DNA samples or something. She says that’s called forensic science.
The science club member who really doesn’t fit is Gum. He completely hates science class. In fact, the only reason he joined at all is because Mr. Neff, the science teacher, made him join.
And why did I join? Extra credit! Every member of the science club gets extra credit on their science grade at the end of year. I’m going to need it. I’m always busy taking pictures during class, so I often miss what Mr. Neff is trying to teach. Science isn’t my favorite subject.
But science club isn’t just where we all met. It’s also the scene of one of our biggest mysteries ever. This really big mystery started one Wednesday. That’s the day that science club always meets. We were a few minutes early, and our new club advisor, Ms. Marlow, wasn’t there yet. None of us knew Ms. Marlow very well. She had only started a week earlier.
