"I am Maya Penelope Hart, professional badass." I say to myself in the mirror. "I will crush you." I giggle and walk to the kitchen, where I get out my just-add-water oatmeal. I add the water and stir it up.
"Everybody loves to tell me, I was born an old soul, better keep my eyes wide open, there's so much that I don't know." I sing. I shove the last bits of oatmeal into my mouth and walk to school.
"Hey, where's Ranger Rick?" I ask, eyeing the empty seat, "He almost never skips."
"I don't know. Sick?" Riley says.
"He texted me saying he'll be late today because his parents are leaving." Farkle replies.
His parents are leaving? They aren't home til next week.
"Good morning, class." Mr. Matthews enters.
The rest of the morning went as normal. But I was suspicious, Lucas' parents are never home. They are always leaving off on trips. He's up to something, something he can't tell us. Lucas enters, slightly frazzled.
"Sorry I was late, Mr. Matthews. My parents are leaving town again." Lucas hands him a tardy slip.
"Take your seat." Mr. Matthews answers, placing the slip on his desk.
"Where were you? You're never late." I say, suspiciously.
"My parents were leaving."
"Alright." Like I'd believe that. I'm going to follow him.
