realized that she didn’t know Justin’s last name. Argghh! What was wrong with her? This is why she never did things without a plan. Well, never, until Justin showed up. She couldn’t possibly scan through all of the files. Her heart pounded so hard she felt like it would jump right out of her chest. What to do? “Breathe. Breathe,” she whispered to herself. “Think. Think.” Raven realized that Justin had been introduced in her science class just two days ago. What did Mr. Hamilton say Justin’s name was? “Come on. You can remember.” Raven pictured Mr. Hamilton introducing Justin at the front of the class. She remembered Justin’s smile and wavy brown hair. He did have cute dimples. She shook her head. Dimples were irrelevant right now. She needed a name. Justin? Justin? Justin Wood? No. Justin Winters? No. What is it? Why couldn’t she remember?
    She was running out of time, so in desperation she used her powers to unlock the cabinet with the W’s. Halfway through one of the drawers she found it. Wilder! Justin Wilder. Quickly pulling out the folder, she opened it up and laid it on top of the other files. His main contact information was stapled to the left side of the folder.
    Raven was too nervous to count on her brain remembering the address, so she quickly pulled out her phone and took a photo of Justin’s contact information. Her hands were shaking as she closed the folder causing her to drop the papers. The sheets spilled across the floor. She forced her nerves to calm down and quickly picked up the pages. Too much time had passed, so she shoved the folder back in the drawer at the front. It wasn’t in the correct alphabetical order, but that wasn’t a high priority for her right now. Quietly, she slid the drawer closed, relocked the cabinet, and tip toed toward the door.
    She leaned her ear to the door and heard some rattling. The secretary tried to open the door Raven had jammed. It probably wouldn’t be long before she began calling for help. Raven began opening the records room door when she sensed someone coming around the corner and into the office. She quickly closed the door hoping she hadn’t made any noise.
    “Helen?” a voice called out.
    Great, Raven thought, the other secretary was back. How would she get out of here now?
    “Cathy? Is that you? Help! I’m locked in here!”
    Raven heard more jiggling of the door handle, but she knew they wouldn’t be able to open the door.
    “Helen. I’ll go find someone who can help. I’ll be right back.”
    Raven waited until she could sense the woman had left and she slid her door open. Her nerves were shot as she ran around the office desks and toward the front office door. But just as she reached the door, she collided with someone coming around the corner.
    Stunned, Raven looked up. It was one of the vice-principals. “Mr. Weizman. I’m so sorry.”
    He seemed to have a look of chastisement, but with amusement hidden beneath it. “I think we all know not to run in the halls, especially not in the office. What’s your hurry?”
    Raven’s mind went totally blank. “Uhh. Uhh.”
    The door handle rattled again. Thankfully, Raven’s brain seemed to restart. “Well, I was going to try to get help. Someone seems to be locked in that room.”
    Mr. Weizman looked at Raven and then at the shaking door. “Someone is locked in my office?”
    “Oh, is that your office? Well, then yes. Should I go get someone to help?” Raven asked.
    “No. I have a key and can open the door to see who is in my office. But thank you.”
    “Okay. Bye.” Raven forced herself not to bolt down the hallway. Instead, she rounded the corner and stopped to listen to the activity in the office. Raven knew his key wouldn’t be able to unlock the door as it was. If she didn’t reform the knob, the poor woman would be locked in there for quite some time. The woman may not have been helpful, and the ordeal nearly gave Raven a heart attack, but the woman didn’t
