“LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Here at Brookdale, we find ways to conserve energy and water andto make less of an impact on our natural environment.”
    If your dad drives an SUV, I hope you don’t have to work extra hard to make up for it, Zee thought.
    â€œThroughout the year, we’ll be studying environmental issues,” Ms. Merriweather went on. “Each month, one set of lab partners will present a project that explores how this school can do even more to take care of the planet.” She put a sheet of paper on the lab table closest to her and told everyone to sign up for the month in which they wanted to present their project. The first set of partners chose June, and the next picked May.
    Jen and Zee sat at the third table, and like the students before her, Jen wanted to put off the project as long as possible. “Let’s sign up for April,” she suggested. Zee was psyched to do the project in April. Earth Day was in April, and she knew they could plan something really awesome.
    Jasper and Chloe were the last partners to sign up, so they got October. They had to present the first project. But they didn’t seem to mind. They had their heads together and were talking a mile a minute.
    Jen sighed. It looked as though it took all the energy she had to prop her head up with the palm of her hand. “Why do we have to come up with ideas for the school? Isn’t that the teachers’ job?”
    â€œI think it’s cool that the students have a say,” Zee answered.
    â€œWhat if we don’t want to?”
    A pang of jealousy shot through Zee as she turned around again. Jasper and Chloe were busy sharing ideas about their science project.

    After school, Zee hopped out of Adam’s car and tore through the front door. “Hi, Mom!” she shouted.
    â€œI’m in the TV room,” Ginny Carmichael called back.
    Zee took a quick detour to greet her mother, dropped her book bag on the couch, and shot upstairs to email Ally. When she turned on her computer, she saw her best friend had already written. Yay!
    Zee,
    Guess what?!!? When I complained to Mom and Dad about not fitting in at school, they signed me up for French tutoring. Great—NOT. I hate being the new student!!! (In case you can’t tell.) ARFN (Au Revoir For Now).

Missing!
    A s soon as Zee hit Send, her Sidekick rang. A text message from Jasper.
    >Can I borrow An Inconvenient Truth?
    Zee sent back a message.
    >Book or DVD?
    >Book.
    >Sure. Y?

    >Science project.
    Zee laughed. Jasper was the only person she knew who would give himself homework on the first day of school.
    Thirty minutes later, Jasper rang the doorbell.
    â€œYou forgot to put on a tie,” Zee said after she opened the door. Jasper had changed into a pair of khaki chinos with a navy blue polo shirt. Zee was certain it was the uniform for the Sprigg School, another private school in Brookdale.
    â€œI hope you amuse yourself,” Jasper said, stepping into the foyer.
    â€œI do.”
    Zee’s mother placed a giant flower arrangement on to a table by the door. “Hello, Jasper,” Mrs. Carmichael said as she adjusted the stems. “Would you like a snack?” Ally always called her Brookdale’s Snack Queen. No one ever went hungry at Zee’s.
    â€œYes, please,” Jasper said
