Fake Elevator Pass

The elevator pass appears in The Third Wheel only, whilst Greg tells the story of how he got his third detention.

When Greg was in the sixth grade, an eighth grader told him there was a secret elevator that took him to the second floor that could only be accessed with a special pass. Greg thought the pass looked official, and so bought it for $5. Of course, the whole pass was fake, and when Greg opened the door to where the elevator supposedly was, he found it was just a supply closet and the whole thing was a scam. He held on to the elevator pass ever since. But in January, Greg decided to sell it to get back the money he was ripped off. He sold it to a sixth grader at half price, but was caught by Vice Principal Roy, and was given detention.

Because he now had had a total of three detentions, he could no longer run for student council, and Greg felt the rule that you needed less than three detentions was directed at him.

Trivia

 * This is, in fact, Greg's third detention. His first was for falling asleep in class in The Last Straw, and his second was for accidentally vandalising the school in Cabin Fever.
