"Oh, Eric, yes. That feels so good," a voice from the Newspaper Office called out making Cory, Shawn and I stop in our tracks. "Don't stop."
"Okay, we found my brother," Cory said as he crept to the door and opened it to find Eric massaging a girls back.
"This personality profile for our new principal is superlative," the girl said.
"Aw, the man lives next door. Glad I could give some help," Eric said to the girl who I now recognised as Molly.
"Yes, well, you give a wonderful neck massage," Molly said while she typed on the computer.
"You know, Molly, I'm more than just a pair of strong, masculine hands," Eric said as I chuckled.
"Well, of course you are, my little Cabana boy," Molly said making Cory fake gag. "Well, finis!" The girl added on excitedly.
"Hahaha! No, no. It's Feeny," Eric said making me sigh.
"What an idiot," I whispered to my friends.
"His name is Feeny," Eric added on.
"Finis is French for finished," Molly said to Eric with a sigh.
"Ah, the French. Our neighbours to the north," Eric said making me chuckle.
"Hello," Cory suddenly said as both Eric and Molly turned to see us three by the door.
"Not now, I'm working," Eric said as we all entered the room properly.
"You said you'd drive us home," I said as Cory put our caged rats on the table.
"Aah!" Molly yelled as she stood up and ran back in fear.
"Hey, babe, you're wigging out the rats," Shawn said, putting a protective hand on the cage before lifting it.
"Rats?" Molly questioned us disgust.
"Yeah, we're studying natural selection. We're gonna see if rats smell the different between natural cheddar and 'I can't believe it's not cheese,'" I said making both boys nod.
"Yep, our D-Plus rests on furry little Shawn, Cory and Millie," Shawn said making Eric chuckle.
"You named them after yourselves?" Cory's older brother questioned.
"Yeah. Shawn's the one chewing the lock. Millie's the one waiting to be freed and I'm the one with the skin disease," Cory said proudly.
"Just keep your little vermin away from tomorrow's edition of the school paper," Molly said making me roll my eyes at how uptight she was being.
"Relax, girl. You need to chill," I said making her glare at me.
"Yeah, come on. Let's go," Eric said as he took Molly's side. "All 6 of you rats."
"Umm, all four of us rats," Shawn said as he lifted the cage back to to find both animal Millie and Shawn missing.
"Little Shawn and Millie broke out?" Cory said with a laugh as I saw them eating something off the floor.
