Lollie walked inside the classroom with Maya and Riley.

Maya huffed, "Boo, this class."

"Do you even know which one it is?" Lollie asked.

"I'm gonna need a clue." Maya said.

Farkle came into the classroom and started to sing.

"Doo dah, doo, dah, doo doo dah da-da-dah da-da dah!"

"Science." She muttered.

"Morning, Farkle." Mr. Norton greeted, "What's new?"

"I'm reading this great book on anti-gravity. I can't put it down." Farkle said.

"Ha!"

"Ha!"

Maya sighed and the three of them sat down.

"I hate this class."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to join me on a journey of discovery. Your midterm experiment." Mr. Norton said.

Farkle cheered, "Yay!"

Maya sat beside Noah, Farkle with Riley, and Lucas with Lollie.

"Do I look sleepy to you?" Maya asked Noah.

"In front of you, each team will find a beaker of a clear, liquid solution."

"Oh boy, he's like a sleep machine."

"And next to that and here's where it gets exciting a mystery marble!"

"Good night!" Maya plopped her head in Noah's hand.

"Right after school, precisely at three fifteen, one member of each team will drop the marble into the beaker. The elements in the marble will break down overnight and turn into sludge. Then, the other team member will discover what that sludge is and what it takes to turn the beaker back to clear." Mr. Norton said.

"Who's supposed to do what?" Riley asked.

"Well, that's up to you. You're a team. Divide the responsibilities as you see fit. I've been conducting this experiment for thirty-five years. I've kept thorough notes. Very few have cracked it."

"Well, you could add my name to your journal right now, sir." Farkle said.

"I hope so, Farkle. Let the games begin!"

Lucas faced Lollie, "Okay, You get that?"

"I'm not stupid."

"That's great. All you have to do is drop the marble."

"Why do I have to drop the marble? What if I want to do all the cool stuff?" Lollie asked.

"Okay, Riley, you drop the marble, I'll figure out the sludge, and earn us yet another "A."" Farkle said.
