The next day Jhonatan entered the classroom and quickly approached his friends with a smaller backpack in his arms.
His friends were sitting on the floor in a corner of the classroom, waiting for him.
—Hey! Hey!, look what Himari gave me.—He took out of the small backpack the remote control helicopter that Himari had bought along with Dan.
—Oh. It's the helicopter you told us you wanted, isn't it?—Brandon held out his hands to ask to borrow the helicopter.
Jhonatan handed the helicopter into his hands.
—Yes, I don't know how she knew I wanted something like this.
Dan looked away to the side.
—I don't know, it was a coincidence I think.
Josías grabbed the toy from Brandon's hands.
—Well that doesn't matter, we better go test it.—He stood up to walk towards a window in the classroom.
The others followed him and opened the window, looking for someone to bother.
—Mmm... Ah, there's Emily—Dan pointed with a finger at Emily who was in physical education class.
Josías held the helicopter forward and Jhonatan with the remote control began to move the toy.
The toy descended to approach Emily who had her back turned. The toy touched her hair and then quickly went down.
When she felt the touch she turned quickly but didn't see anyone behind her, she turned back and the toy went up again to do the same thing once more.
This time Emily tensed up and turned again but now she was scared, again she didn't see anyone, she was now afraid so she ran quickly towards Sofía and Noemí.
The boys laughed from the window, Jhonatan controlled the toy so that it would return.
(Josías felt a bit bad about doing that to Emily)
—The teacher will be here soon, you should put it away now—Dan said.
Jhonatan nodded and put the helicopter inside the classroom but at that moment the teacher entered. The four of them froze when they saw him come in.
The teacher looked at them and then looked at the helicopter. He sighed and held out his hand.
—You know the rule, no toys because they can be dangerous. Hand it over.
Jhonatan hugged the toy but had no choice but to give it to him and go back to his seat.
From his seat Dan leaned towards Jhonatan.
—That's too bad, what are you going to tell Emily now?—He asked in a whisper.
—Don't worry, we're going to get it back.—He also whispered.
—We? No, thanks.
—Yes, We! All four of us.
Brandon sighed knowing they would probably get into more trouble.
Class ended and the teacher left the classroom with the helicopter in his hands. Jhonatan stood up quickly.
—Come on, we have to get it back.
Dan and Brandon complained but Jhonatan dragged them along. Josias turned to them.
—Don't worry, I'll cover for you.
The three left the classroom and ran down the same hallway the teacher had gone down.
—Why do we have to go with you? It's your toy.—Brandon asked.
Jhonatan frowned and approached him to say something in his ear. Brandon looked forward again.
—We have to get that helicopter back!.
Dan was confused but also kept running even though he was worried about skipping class.
In the classroom the next teacher entered, sat down in his chair and began to take attendance.
—Floch.
—Present.
—Valeria.
—Present.
—Brandon... Brandon!.
Josías raised his hand.
—He went to the bathroom, teacher.
—I understand. Dan.
—He also went to the bathroom.
—Jhonatan.
—Same.
—Huh? All three went to the bathroom?.
—Yes but it's because...—He looked around as if trying to find the answer—Because they can't go to the bathroom alone.
—And you?.
—I can go alone.
The teacher rolled his eyes but continued taking attendance. Josías let out a deep sigh.
Back with the boys they were hiding around a corner in the hallway. The teacher entered the principal's office and then left without the toy.
—The toy is in the principal's office, now... How do we get it back?—Dan asked.
Jhonatan and Brandon looked at each other and then both looked at Dan. He looked at them too already knowing they were using him in the plan.
—...
Dan entered the principal's office with a smile.
—Hello, hello principal.
The principal looked up when he heard the door open.
—Ah, Dan, what can I do for you?.
—Nothing, I just wanted to stop by to say hello.
—Oh, I appreciate that then.
Dan turned to look at the helicopter that was on top of some stacked boxes.
—What's that?—He asked pretending not to know it.
—A toy they took away from a student. I was told the student is from your same class.
—Really? I didn't even notice—He shrugged.—Well... Can you give it to me?.
—No.
Dan left the principal's office, Brandon and Jhonatan were waiting for him outside.
—What happened?—Jhonatan asked.
—He said no, forget it.
Brandon gave him a little tap on his head.
—You probably just asked him if he could give it to you, didn't you?.
—Ouch!... Wasn't that the plan?.
—Yes but you shouldn't have asked him so suddenly like that.
Jhonatan stood thinking and then clapped to get their attention.
—Alright, alright, let's move on to plan B.
Dan looked at Brandon.
—Do we have a plan B?
He shrugged. Jonathan approached them and began to explain plan B
