“It all started when Macy’s water bottle was misplaced,” is how I began to write my own book of the mystery of Macy’s Water bottle! Macy lost her water bottle at school. “Jason, I need you to help me! You’re in the 4th grade and you know algebra. You’re really smart, please help me!” Macy said at their locker about to go to science. “Ok, what is this thing?” I asked. “It’s my aunt’s 1925 Michael Jackson diamond encrusted water bottle. My aunt died when I was 5 and this is my only reminder of her. Please help!” I helped her look for the water bottle. “I thought this school had a really high 2- star quality? “ As I said disgusted by all the gum and gum wrappers on the floor.
“In class I only raise my hand one time because I don’t want to become a nerd in my class,” I said to myself, knowing every single solitary question the teacher asks in math. “I feel bad for all the kids that aren’t good at math. I really do.” As I said to my friend Macy. “Because if they found out how smart I was they will probably think I’m a nerd!” I said. On Tuesday after school Macy asked her mom for another water bottle. Macy’s mom said, “No,” as she was making a ham and Swiss cheese Panini and a strawberry smoothie for a little something before dinner. “But why mom…” “Because it’s irreplaceable,” her mom said cutting Macy off during her sentence. When Macy got to school the next day she didn’t tell me about her mom saying “no” about her water bottle until the end of the day. “Hey Jason,” Macy said. “Hi!” I said back. “I need to tell you something,” Macy said. “Ok?” I asked with confusion. “My mom said I can’t get another water bottle because she says it’s irreplaceable,” Macy said.
When my class was out in the courtyard for recess, Macy and I talked to each other about the water bottle situation. So we met on the mulch area where the other kids play kickball. Five minutes later when our discussion was over Mark stuck the ball and it hit Macy right in the noggin. Macy and I scowled at Mark. Nobody had liked Mark except his mom in four years! As my class went back in the classroom I noticed that Mark had water all over his desk. I thought to myself “everyone knew that Mark loves Michael Jackson and diamonds, the water bottle had everything he wanted so he might have stolen it.” At the end of that same day at car line when I was walking out from my classroom I caught Mark drinking out of a water bottle that looked like Macy’s water bottle that looks like Macy’s water bottle. I confronted Mark and he gave it back to Macy. “That’s how I found Macy’s water bottle.”
