Brandon, Philip, David, and Kenneth were playing out in the courtyard when the bell rang. They went back into the classroom. Their teacher, Rubert, was waiting for them so that he could teach his class the new lesson. Everybody got prepared. They were learning precalculus at their boarding school. After school they always went to the candy shop. They had a sweet tooth and always loved hanging out there. Brandon, David, and Kenneth went to the store. They had gone so often that the clerk already new what flavors of ice cream they were going to order. She asked where Philip was. No one knew. They finished their ice cream and then explored the campus. Philip was no where to be found. Brandon said that they should split up. Brandon dashed to the North side of the campus. Brandon heard clucking and then a, "Bock bock bock booooooock." There was a flutter of wings. No one was there. Brandon peeked around the corner and saw Philip choking chickens. His ability to choke seemed so natural. Brandon revealed himself. Philip was so startled. He said to not tell anybody. Brandon was thinking of mischievous things he could do with his friend's talents. "We could pull off the perfect murder."
