The Missing Homework Mystery.

Max – The energetic leader of the group, always full of ideas.


Leo – The logical thinker, who loves solving puzzles and mysteries.
Jake – The funny one, who often cracks jokes and makes everyone
laugh.
Sam – The worrier, who’s always concerned about getting into trouble.
Setting: The classroom, after school. Four desks are scattered around
with school supplies.

Scene 1: The Classroom After School


(Max, Leo, Jake, and Sam are gathered around a desk. They seem to be
in a panic.)

Max: (Pacing back and forth) This is bad, really bad. If we don’t find my
homework, I’m doomed!
Jake: (Grinning) Hey, maybe your dog ate it! Isn’t that what always
happens on TV?
Sam: (Worried) No joke, Jake! Mrs. Wilson’s gonna be so mad if Max
doesn’t have his homework. She’s already given us three warnings!
Leo: (Calmly) Alright, everyone relax. We just need to think logically.
Max, where did you last see your homework?
Max: (Frustrated) I had it right here, on my desk! I swear it was here
before lunch, but now... it’s gone!
Jake: (Looking around suspiciously) Maybe it grew legs and walked
away. Or maybe... (pointing dramatically) it was stolen!
Sam: (Gasping) Stolen? Who would steal homework? That’s like, the
worst thing ever!
Leo: (Nodding) Jake might actually have a point. Maybe someone took
it as a prank. But who?
Max: (Clenching fists) When I find out who did this...
Jake: (Grinning) We’ll make them do our homework for a week!
Sam: (Gulps) Or we’ll end up with even more missing homework...
Leo: (Thoughtfully) We need to search for clues. Let’s divide and
conquer. Max, check the desk area. Jake, check the lockers. Sam and I
will go through the lost-and-found box.
Max: (Determined) Right! Let’s solve this mystery before it’s too late!
(They all split up and start searching different areas of the classroom.)

Scene 2: The Investigation


(The boys are still searching. Leo and Sam are at the lost-and-found
box.)
Sam: (Nervously) What if we never find it? What if Mrs. Wilson gives us
all detention?
Leo: (Calmly) Don’t worry, Sam. We’ll find it. We just have to be smart
about it. (Pulls out a funny-looking hat from the lost-and-found box)
Hey, check this out! Maybe Max can wear this to distract Mrs. Wilson.

Sam: (Laughs) Or we can hide inside it!


(Meanwhile, Jake is looking through the lockers.)
Jake: (Opening a locker) Ah-ha! Wait... no, just an old sandwich. Ew!
(Max is searching around his desk, looking frustrated.)
Max: (Talking to himself) Come on, homework, where are you? I can’t
get in trouble again...
(Suddenly, Max spots something under a pile of books on a nearby
shelf. He pulls out a crumpled piece of paper.)

Max: (Excitedly) Guys! I found it! My homework was hiding under these
books!
(The boys rush over.)
Leo: (Smiling) See? Logic always wins.
Jake: (Grinning) Or maybe the books were plotting against you!
Sam: (Sigh of relief) Thank goodness. Now we won’t have to face Mrs.
Wilson’s wrath.
Max: (Grinning) Thanks, everyone. You’re the best detectives a guy
could ask for.
Jake: (Jokingly) Detective Jake, at your service! Mystery solved, case
closed!
(They all high-five each other and laugh.)
Leo: Alright, let’s head home before the next mystery is where we
disappeared to after school!
(The boys gather their things and walk out, still laughing and joking.)
