Chapter 1
Rue was walking across the school playground. Her long blonde hair that comes to her heels flickered.
“Rue Greenbird!” yelled someone behind her.
Rue just had time to turn around before a boy crashed into her.
“Mitchell Brown! Stop that!” complained Rue.
Mitchell grinned and shook his straight black hair.
“Ok, Rapunzel” said Mitchell.
Rue just rolled her eyes.
“Say, how ‘bout making a new CA?” said Mitchell with twinkling eyes.
“A new CA?”
“Yeah, a new Club Activity. I’ve already made up the name for it.”
“Say it” demanded Rue.
“C.I.T.C” said Mitchell.
“C.I.T.C? What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Curiosity Improves the Cat”
“Wait a moment. If you’re going to use the saying, shouldn’t it be ‘Curiosity kill the cat’?” asked Rue with one eyebrow raised.
“That’s the point, Rapunzel! How come curiosity kills the cat? It’s just a thing made up by adults who don’t like children’s questions. We solve mysteries and prove that curiosity improves the cat!” said Mitchell confidently.
“What a ridiculous idea. But I do like mysteries. Let’s give it a try” said Rue.
“Way to go, Rapunzel!” screamed Mitchell.
“I told you a million times, DON’T CALL ME RAPUNZEL!!!” growled Rue.
Mitchell stuck out his tongue and ran off before Rue could catch him.
