Chapter 1: Friday
The date was Friday, March 29. Sitting in Sherman Finky's class, Pepper Ann Pearson is anxiously awaiting three o'clock. She looks at the clock. Two fifty-five. She can't wait to get this weekend started, for she has a feeling that it will be unlike any weekend she has ever experienced. However, her hopes are quickly dashed.
"OK, class, before I let you go for the weekend, I have a new project for you." Everyone in the class groaned in unison. "Come on, guys. I haven't even told you what it is yet." The class decides that they should hear him out before they pass judgment. "I want you to write a five-page explanation of the workings of the universe. You will also need visual aids. Go into as much detail as possible. You have until Monday to complete this assignment." The class groans again, though whether it's because of the assignment or the fact that they have to spend the weekend on it is unclear.
Nicky Anais Little, being the genius that she is, completed the assignment in about two hours. Milo Kamalani, philosopher extraordinaire, took three hours to finish his. However, Pepper Ann had no idea where to start. She decided that since she had all weekend, she could afford to sleep on it, so she did just that: sleep.
