As Jon/Jonnie and Karyn joined the rest of the cheerleaders in gossiping on their way out to practice, the other door to the locker room slowly opened. Whoever had opened it slowly poked his head around the door and carefully looked around, listening carefully as he did so. Satisfied that all the girls had gone to practice, he strolled into the locker room, acting as if he belonged there.
It was Charles "Chaz" Thomas, a senior who fancied himself to be a ladies man but who was seen by most of the girls at school as a jerk. In fact, just that morning his efforts to get a cheerleader to accompany him to a club that Friday had been rudely rebuffed. Chaz took this personally, and vowed to get back at what he saw as the stuck-up bitches on the squad.
So he waited around until practice was going on, then snuck into the locker room. He wasn't really sure what he was going to do, he figured he'd just think of something. However, he wasn't very creative, and after a few minutes of pondering his situation he hadn't accomplished anything. Eventually, he decided to poke around in the girls' lockers, maybe mess with their stuff, maybe "borrow" something. By chance, he picked Jonnie's locker, which was closed, but not locked, first. Inside he found nothing unusual except some stone. Picking it up out of curiousity more than anything else, he wondered aloud, "I wish I knew why a girl would carry this around."
Suddenly, he knew, and he smiled a wicked smile. Now he'd teach those cheerleaders who their boss was!
