check on their work. Just as she arrived, Lamont started blurting out some scientific language that nobody knew he possessed.
    â€œThe theory here is that natural substances of the cabbage have the property to change color because of the acidity of the environment,” he blurted out. “One can exploit the properties of the indicator to determine the acidity of the vinegar. We can conclude that the acidity of the concentration is related to the concentration of the hydrogen atoms present. Scientific experimentation has an amazing propensity to separate theory and fact.”
    â€œWow, Lamont, I am impressed that you got this much out of this experiment,” replied Ms. Blossom, a puzzled look on her face. However, in all her years of teaching she knew that students found different ways to be funny, so it was no big deal for Lamont to act smart.
    â€œThis appears to be one of the basic concepts of chemistry,” said Lamont, who then absorbed himself in his work. “It is through experimentation that we can learn more about the world around us.”
    â€œDid you understand what Lamont just said?” Jose asked Elvis. “He sounded like Einstein. Where did he get that stuff? Is he real?” It was obvious Jose did not connect the mixture dots.
    â€œLamont, you okay?” asked Elvis, after about 10 minutes of silence.
    â€œYo, dog I am fine,” said Lamont. “Why? Something up? Hey, we done with this assignment yet? We need to clean up and turn it in.”
    Ms. Blossom then broke into a speech for the whole class. “You have 10 minutes until the bell,” she instructed. “I need everyone to turn in their paper on my desk and clean up at the sinks. Make sure you dump it all down the drain and clean all your materials. Leave them on the tray on your desk and get ready to go.”
    As the trio cleaned up, Elvis was lost in thought. He seemed to be the only one of this group that got the connection between the brown mix and the strange behavior. He realized if there was a connection between the two there was a world of potential for practical jokes. He also knew that by announcing it there in class it might blow the lid off the idea. Therefore, he said nothing, instead acting like the bank robber that had been given the key to the safe without anyone knowing.
    The bell to end the third period rang and the students got up to depart the classroom. “Nice working with you guys,” Elvis said to Jose and Lamont as they stood to leave.
    â€œBeen real,” said Lamont. “I gotta bounce. Peace out.”
    â€œSee you guys at lunch,” answered Jose. “Been real rolling with you guys.”
    Elvis looked at the materials the class had just used and placed them into his memory bank, then headed off to his math class.
    Ten minutes into class, came an interruption into the class. Over the PA came the request, “Miss Baker, can you send Elvis down to the office? Mr. Diaz wants to see him.”
    Elvis strolled to the office, making two stops along the way. He went by the media center to see what was happening, as well as stopping by the janitor’s restroom.
    â€œElvis, I just want to know where you were when that fire alarm went off last period?” asked Mr. Diaz. “That wasn’t planned and you seem to know about these kind of things. If it was you, you’re getting suspended for 10 days. Remember we have the governor coming in a few weeks and I want to make sure it all goes smoothly. We don’t need any clowning when he is here.”
    â€œI didn’t do it and I know nothing about it,” replied Elvis. “I was in chemistry class the entire time. We were working on some experiments. Mr. Diaz, it wasn’t me.
    â€œAs far as the governor, I wouldn’t want that to go bad, either.”
    â€œNow go back to class, and understand you’re on a short lease,” Mr. Diaz said.
    â€œHere’s your pass. Get
