Lollie sat at the dining table as she helped her mom cut up vegetables to serve dinner for later that evening.

Maya walked inside and hugged Lollie from behind.

"Come on, we're gonna be late."

Lollie turned around and looked at Maya, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?"

Lollie smiled, "Just asking."

Lollie waved goodbye to her mom and Maya walked towards the door.

"Wait!" They heard.

The two looked towards the stairs and saw Noah rushing down them.

"I'm ready."

Maya and Lollie smiled at each other and headed out the door with Noah trailing behind.

I wouldn't tell the others, but Lollie really favored Maya, but not more than what she favored Farkle. She loved him.

"Pompeii. Lucas." Mr. Matthews said.

"You mean Farkle?" He asked.

"I mean Lucas. I want to see what you know." Mr. Matthews said.

"Okay, here's what I know." Lucas said, "Farkle."

"Why, thank you. Pompeii was an ancient village in Italy located near the beauty and culture of Naples. It was a resort town where the wealthy would go to soak up the sun." Farkle said.

"It was like the Hawaii of Italy." Lucas said.

"Thanks, Lucas." Mr. Matthews said.

"Call on me any time." He replied.

"Pompeii sounds so beautiful. We should go there. We should go there and be calm." Riley said.

"Let me tell you about a whole city that became very calm very quick. Now, who here knows about Mount Vesuvius?" Mr. Matthews asked.

"Mount Vesuvius was a pent up, boiling cauldron of I-wanna-do-somethin'." Maya said.

Lollie added, "Vesuvius sat quiet for a long time, but then it did what volcanoes in time must do. It 'sploded!"

"Why does a volcano have to 'splode?" Riley asked.

"Because if it doesn't, it'll just blow up worse later. Vesuvius wiped out the entire population of Pompeii. It was one of the greatest natural disasters the world had ever known." Mr. Matthews explained.
