Pervprincipal 24 06 25 Sawyer Cassidy And Fitwi... Apr 2026

Sawyer’s heart raced. “We need to know what’s down there.”

“Did you hear that?” Sawyer whispered, leaning close enough that only she could hear over the whir of the HVAC.

She gestured toward the silver key. “Take this. It will open any lock, but it must be used only to protect, never to pry.”

Cass quickly pulled up the school’s old bell schedule. “Look at the class periods for the past six days: 1️⃣ Math, 2️⃣ English, 3️⃣ History, 4️⃣ Science, 5️⃣ Art, 6️⃣ Physical Education. The Latin words we saw correspond to the first letters of each subject: A pertus (Art), V ia (Science— via in Latin can also mean ‘road’ or ‘way’, but we’ll stretch it), C ustodia (Physical Education—the ‘guard’ of the body).

He slipped the note he’d been working on for his history project into his pocket and headed for the library. Cassidy “Cass” Alvarez, his best friend and the school’s unofficial tech wizard, was already there, hunched over a laptop. “Take this

Evelyn placed a gentle hand on the diary. “You may read one page. The rest will remain hidden until the academy needs it most.”

“Or we need a better excuse to stay out of Mr. McAllister’s sight,” muttered Cass, eyes still glued to the screen. Enter Fitwi, the academy’s resident “creature”—a small, owl‑like being that the school’s biology club kept in the greenhouse as a pet.

It had a reputation for showing up exactly when a mystery was about to be solved.
