The moment the police officer asked Caleb to come with them, the entire gym fell silent.
The music stopped.
Even the teachers looked confused.
For a second, nobody moved.
I stared at Caleb, waiting for him to laugh and explain that this was some kind of misunderstanding.
Instead, his face turned completely white.
The officer looked at me.
“You really don’t know?” he asked.
My stomach dropped.
“Know what?”
Caleb opened his mouth.
“Officer, please—”
But the officer interrupted him.
“Ma’am, this young man has been under investigation for the last three months.”
The room exploded with whispers.
Three months?
