To everyone's suprise...

Jessica had been the muffin bandit! She loved the tasty muffins and wanted more than the 2 muffin limit. She knew the kitchen very well and knew exactly where the muffins were kept. Jessica arrived before the lunch lady and would rush to grab as many muffins as she could. In the process of rushing, Jessica would leave the kitchen a mess so she could get out before the lunch lady arrived. She blamed the event on others, because she knew that people would believe her. She had a good reputation, but not anymore. She’ll be paying for every one of those chocolate muffins! Great job super sleuths, you solved another mystery!
