Chapter One

one saturday night, Kala and her friends, Germy, Anna, and Jonny, were on their way to the cafeteria for prom. They all got into Germy’s new, shiny black car and drove off from Anna’s house. They pulled up to Milan High School. They made a couple of turns, and they were in the cafeteria. There were glowing lights on the floor and walls from the disco ball. There was a snack table, too. After they got their snacks, more friends and people came. Then it started: prom was on. Hey!

While Anna and Germy were dancing, something happened. Anna had a ring. These two boys and girls had a team. Their names were Sierrha, Sarha, Jhon, and Mike.

There were big footprints right in the parking lot. Germy drove all of them around the block. There were these glowing lights from people walking around the family park. They all got out of the car. Anna and Kala discovered that there were little tiny pieces of glass on the floor.

Anna said, “They look like they were from my ring.”

“They probably are,” said Jonny. “Here is one more.”

They all continued what they were doing. They were still strolling until they came to a stop. There they were, back at the shiny black car.

as soon as they found the diamond, they started walking toward the building. They all walked into the building, and it was like a palace. They found two
