Brody Valentine here, and this is the story of my craziest day at school ever. It was just an ordinary homeroom but I ended up being the most wanted kid in school. See, the science class was digging up a time capsule from 1999, but it was missing! Somehow, they found evidence that I was the thief. But nobody believes me when I say I was framed, and now every hall monitor in the school is looking for me. So the only way I can clear my name is to find who the real thief is, but the deeper I dig, it seems the truth gets dirtier and dirtier.
