going.” It read return to sender, which was a joke that faculty and administrators often wrote on Elvis’ hall passes.
    It was on the trip back to math class that Elvis did the addition. He thought chemical mixture, the right people, the governor and school administration all could add up to a senior prank to remember.

Senior Prank/ Chapter Four
    As usual, Jose arrived in the cafeteria first. His class is closest to the cafeteria so he makes sure he gets there, claims their customary table, and waits for the others to arrive. Elvis usually arrives next, then Lamont joins them a few minutes later.
    The trio own a table to the far left side of the cafeteria. It’s so they can check out all the babes, watch for food that might be available and be far enough away from any teacher watchdogs to avoid blame. Since they have 50 minutes in the lunchroom, there’s no hurry. It’s a chance to slow down the pace of the day.
    â€œMan, Ellie the redneck is looking good,” said Jose. “Those tight jeans really make her butt look good. Too bad she’d kick my butt if I told her that. She’s really the redneck woman.”
    â€œI second that,” chimed in Lamont. “She’s in a few of my classes and I’ve seen her almost get into it with other girls when they come after her. She’s her own girl and ain’t nobody going to tell her nothing.”
    â€œHey, Elvis, I talked to Potts about going out for the track team,” said Lamont, “and he said ‘sure, but I know the rules and if I don’t follow them, it’s goodbye.’ He said any clowning I’m gone. He invited me to a practice to see if it’s what I really wanted.
    They practice after school Tuesday and Thursday and have exhibition meets every Saturday in November. Think I ought to do it?”
    â€œIf that’s what you really want go for it,” answered Elvis.
    â€œYou’re fast, so you ought to do it,” said Jose. “Besides, have you ever seen a slow brother? If you’re good, you know Potts ain’t going throw you off the team.
    He likes the love. Since it’s your senior year, it’s now or never. I used to think it wouldn’t be worth it, but now I say go for it.”
    Elvis then changed the subject bringing up the chemistry class two periods ago when Missy, Hian and even Lamont acted like someone else, not their usual self.
    â€œI was thinking that we might have discovered our answer for a senior prank to remember,” stated Elvis. “If that mixture can change people’s personalities you can use it when the governor comes for his visit. We can show him we are really an All-American school.
    â€œFirst, I think we need to retest that mixture to see if it really works,” he continued. “We’ll add our ingredients and try it on others. I’m still not sure that it worked. Maybe they were pulling our leg.
    â€œWe have to swear here right now not to tell anybody. That includes parents, teachers, girls, anybody. It has to be our secret. If the word is out we’ll get blamed and probably something bad will happen to us.”
    Jose offered his thoughts. “Elvis, I never connected the mixture with Lamont’s behavior,” he said. “I figured he was just goofing off. But after watching Missy and Hian maybe you have a point.”
    â€œHow was I acting?” asked Lamont. “What did I do wrong?”
    â€œNothing,” Elvis shot back. “You were acting like a brainiac. You started talking real intelligent and scientific like you knew what was going on. Jose and I just sat there in disbelief. Even Ms. Blossom was impressed. She was giving you props.”
    Elvis then expanded on their plan. He offered once they got their mixture they would try it on one of the school’s macho jocks and a no nonsense ROTC member.
    â€œIt would be interesting to see how these two react,” he offered.
    Then either
