Time seemed to fly by for the group. Rory and Jess were in heaven leading book discussions or should I say debates. Paris, Tristan, and Jason were thoroughly entertained by watching the pair and would occasionally add comments to fuel the fiery debates.

It was the week before the graduation ceremony for the departing seniors. Being only juniors, the group thought nothing of it. They were just getting ready to relax for the summer, when once again, Rory and Jess were summoned to the main office to meet with the headmaster.

Standing outside the office door, they tried to figure out what the old man had on him.

"I know it couldn't be the paintball that exploded on Summer," Rory told Jess. "I framed Duncan and Bowman for that."

"I know it wasn't the stink bomb in the faculty lounge. That one got blamed on Summer and the Puffs."

"I guess there is only one way find out," Rory said grimly and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

The pair opened the door and waited anxiously for the headmaster to tell them why they had been summoned. "Sir, I don't mean to sound rude," Jess started.

"But we left Tristan and Paris in charge of the class," Rory continued. "We really should get back there before world war three erupts from Paris making someone cry."

"You make a valid point," the headmaster actually chuckled at this. "I want the five of you to be at the graduation ceremony next. I have a special announcement to make and it concerns the five of you."

"Is there any thing else, sir, or can we go back to the class?" Jess asked impatiently.

"I just wanted to thank you students for stepping and doing such a good job. You have impressed not only myself but the board of trustees as well. Keep up the good work and I will see you at the graduation ceremony. And yes, you may return to your class now."

I know this is short, but I want to finish this one so I can move on to sequel... Just don't hate me too much...I like being evil as some of you know and what is about is total unexpected.
