“That’s not
only the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard, but it’ll get us in all sorts of
trouble.” Chad’s nasally baritone voice blasted its way through the crowded
hallway. Only the clanks of locker doors slamming shut were louder, but not by

Up and down
the hallway, students turned and stared at Chad and Max. Some pointed and
laughed, but most just ignored them as if they didn’t exist.
“Sheesh! Can

face turned several shades redder than the lockers lining the wall. This wasn’t
exactly the kind of attention he wanted, especially not after yesterday’s
Career Fair. How his mom found out about it, was beyond him. He had thrown away
the first flyer asking for volunteers to speak to his class about their careers
over a month ago, and he made sure to throw away every flyer he had gotten
since then.
But she
found out.
