Chapter 4
Jason spun around. A black haired boy sat on his bed, yakking away. Jason at once noticed a paper he was waving around. "I was named Student of the decade by the governor of my state. I've won the National Math Bee three years in a row. I've...." Jason stopped listening to Eugene and glanced at Marcus who was doing his famous you-are-despicable-and-crazy look at Eugene. As Jason was finished unpacking, he motioned to Marcus and they both left, leaving Eugene, who hadn't noticed that his audience had left, still talking. When they were out of hearing range of the cabin. Marcus made the crazy sign while pointing to the cabin. "That guy is nuts." he commented.
"What's even more annoying is that I remember him from last year at the National Math Bee. I was this close to beating him. We were the only two kids left and I messed up on that one math problem...."
~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~
Announcer: After Round 103, we still have Jason Fox and Eugene Wu. Now Jason, here is the next problem, what is 4530 x 453 + 31?
Jason: Uh.....
Eugene: *snickers*
Jason: Um...2,052,142
Announcer: I'm sorry. That is not correct. Eugene? What is 4530 x 453 + 31?
Eugene: Let's see......2,052,121.
Announcer: That is correct! Eugene, you've become the first person to win the National Math Bee three years in a row. For this, you win the usual trophy, $1000 toward collage and $500 for anything you want plus, the Department of Science and Technology would like to award you a special medal. As for our runner up, Jason, you get a second place trophy and $100.
Audience: Eugene! Eugene!

"ARGGGGGGG! How he gloated. Well the next year I won and got to gloat. Anyway, this must be the cafeteria. The menu says today they are serving "Grub". Wonder what that is." Jason walked into the cafeteria just as a horn sounded, signalling that it was time for dinner.
"We'll soon find out." Marcus commented. The food ended up being Grilled Cheese Sandwhiches which were a little to grilled, mashed potatoes and a cookie. Everything went well at dinner until about halfway through a spoonful of mashed poptates flew through the air and hit the boy next to Marcus. "FOOD FIGHT!!!!!!" Someone shouted. Soon, food was flying everywhere. Jason and Marcus each made mashed potato balls and threw them at Eugene, who started calling for a counseler. Unfortunatly for him, all the conselers were joiningthe food fight too. Suddenly....

Will Jason and Marcus survive the food fight? Cliffhanger!
