Chapter 1: The Shadow in the Satchel
A confident and bright student named Aakriti enters her classroom. She sits down to revise her SST lessons soon. The teacher, Mrs. Bloom, enters and asks for the homework. Aakriti confidently puts her hand inside her bag, but she is shocked to feel only empty air!
She knew
that she had kept her folder in her bag, but somehow it suddenly disappeared.
The teacher came to her place and asked, "So dear topper, hand me your
homework!" She explained the whole thing, but Mrs. Bloom would not believe
her. Aakriti had a sinking stomach feeling as everyone stared. Ritika, the
observant class monitor, noticed the confused look on Aakriti’s face. Finally,
the teacher told Aakriti to submit the homework the next day.
Chapter 2: A Scent of Secret Roses
Aakriti gets home and tells her mom and dad about this mystery. She opens her bag to show that her folder is missing, but—POOF!—the folder is sitting right there on top of all her books.
When she
removes it, a sweet floral scent of rose water fills the room. It is very
weird! Aakriti’s young sister has an allergy to the smell of rose, so they do
not own a single bottle. She starts looking for more clues to know how it
disappeared. She decides to connect with Ritika, who is well known for being
super observant. Ritika tells Aakriti that she smelt that exact same rose scent
on a jacket in the hallway. They decide to become "folder detectives"
and set a trap for the next morning.
Chapter 3: The Bloom of a New Friend
They set a trap! They put blue colored chalk dust on the folder's handle to see whose hands turn blue. It camouflaged perfectly, but an art proxy ended up spoiling the plan because it turned into a finger dabbing session! The next day, they try another trap. They leave a note inside the folder saying, "I know what you're doing!" to see whose face turns red. That day, the thief herself comes to tell Aakriti the truth. A girl named Vartika confesses she was a bit jealous and used to steal the folder, only to put it back during dispersal time.
Aakriti kindly asks for her folder
back and tells Vartika she will help her become a topper too!
