     BACK IN HISTORY, three words were already scribbled across the board as Cory tried to start a new lesson for the day. "The Korean War," he began, reading the words on his chalkboard.

"Genghis Khan," Farkle blurts out of nowhere.

Kat twists her head to him, a line forming on her forehead. "Genghis Khan isn't even Korean. He's Mongolian...He wasn't even apart of the Korean War-"

"Okay! We get it! You're also smart and pretty, okay!" Farkle cuts her off abruptly.

Taken aback by him, Kat just turned back to the board, a disturbed look on her face.

Suddenly, the door swings open. "Hello, Cory Matthews. I am so sorry for interrupting," a dramatic feminine voice announced.

Maya's expression instantly soured. "Oh no," she dreaded under her breath.

"Nothing to forgive, Katy. Class, this is Maya's mother, Katy Hart," Cory introduced.

"Mom, what are you doing? It was yesterday."

"Yesterday I was unable to attend your little job fair."

"Career day," Maya corrected.

"Yesterday I was trapped...In my vehicle..."

And once she started there, Kat immediately tuned out into her thoughts, knowing exactly what was about to happen.

See, Katy Hart was an aspiring actress, something that Riley and Kat knew since she tried to practice for one of her roles in-front of them.

So within the next two minutes, Kat found solace in the embrace of her own arms, waiting for Katy's melodramatic performance to come to an end.

When it finally did, she heard Maya speak. "She was auditioning for a soap opera," the blonde explained her mother's theatrics.

"Can you believe I didn't get it?" Katy asked.

"Yes," the entire class chimed in unison.

"Yes," Katy giggled. "I am an actress. Are there any questions I can answer for anyone?" Someone raises their hand. "Ah, yes, the Farkle."
