Deacon sighed as his mum handed him money for food.
"Quit whining, its not that bad, you'll have fun!" His mum called to him as he muttered his annoyances
"Penny and El aren't gonna be there, I'll be on my own all day, plus we were going to be learning derivitive functions today and I was looking forward to it" Deacon moaned as he left the house. This was a mandatory trip, but Penny and El both had tests today so they managed to avoid it. I think they dodged a bullet.
The school had been offered a chance to go to hegarty headquarters, the base for the development of hegarty maths. The only problem was, Deacon and the CEO, Mr Hegarty, had a slight run in the year before, and an embarrassing one at that.
It was 2017, and Deacons high school hosted a maths competition, in which the fabled Mr Hegarty was the guest of honour. The gracious gentleman decided to stay afterwards to have a chat with some teams of students, and approached the Martins maths team. It consisted of Deacon, Penny, El, Corey, Finn and, just because there was free biscuits, Leanne. Leanne was, as usual teasing Deacon, this time for his unusual use of BIDMAS to come to the complete wrong answer.
It just so happened that Mr Hegarty arrived at their group at the precise moment that deacon aimed a swift knee at leanne. It also just so happened that leanne moved away at the precise moment that deacon kneed. It also also just so happened that the knee that was aimed at leanne hit precisely in Mr Hegartys balls.
Deacon was officially declared Mr Hegartys sworn enemy.
Deacon really hoped he wouldn't run into him today.... That would be very awkward.
