Chapter Four

Lance and Pietro had finished putting up some more decorations. Todd had stayed in his bedroom the whole day. It was almost 3:00. The party didn't start until 6:00. Pietro and Lance didn't talk about who Todds girlfriend the whole day.

"Having fun?" Todd asked as he hopped down stairs for a drink.

"The place is ready," Lance said," Who is all coming?"

"Some girls," Pietro said," I invited all the girls I knew."

"I invited the cooking class," Fred said and they others stared at him." What?"

"You invited the cooking class," Pietro said," That class is full of weird people."

"Hey," Fred said," I'm in that class."

"I think I just proved a point," Pietro said.

Fred thought for a second, before going back into the kitchen. Lance and Pietro didn't notice that Todd was sneaking to the door.

"Hey," Lance said, turning to Todd.'' Where are you going? The party is in three more hours."

"I just need to meet someone, yo," Todd said.

"Your girlfriend," Pietro grined.

"No," Todd said," Teacher. Saids that he needed to talk to me about my work in his class."

Lance and Pietro looked at each other, then back at Todd.

"What did you do?" Lance asked.

"I think it was the project I did," Todd said," He said do a project on anything you want and I did it on toads."

"Toads," Pietro said," What class is this?"

"Um... science," Todd said.

"Well," Lance said," Science has lots of things to do with toads, so I don't know what could be the problem."

"I'm going," Todd said, closing the front door.

"Pietro," Lance said," follow him."

Pietro nodded and sped off. Todd hopped all the way to school Pietro made sure that he was not seen.' Maybe he is going to school,' Pietro thought,' Or he could be meeting her there. I go with he is meeting her there.' Todd hopped into the front doors of the school and into the scinece room, where the science teacher was waiting for him. Pietro peeked into the door.' He is just talking to his teacher. Well no reason to stay here.' Pietro sped back to the house, where Lance was waiting for him in the living room.

"Did he lie?" Lance asked.

"No," Pietro said," He is talking with the teacher."

"This is making me mad," Lance nearly yelled, but made the house shake a litte.

"Calm down," Pietro said," Only two and a half hours left until we find out."

"I know," Lance said, fixing some of the cups that had fallen over.

"What are you trying to find out?" Fred asked as he entered the living room.

"Who Todds girlfriend is," Pietro said, then started to beg." Pleasetellus.Pleasetellus.Pleasetellus."

"I'm sorry," Fred said," But I promised Todd I would keep it a secret."

"How much do you want?" Pietro asked taking out some money.

"I don't wan your money," Fred said," I'm not telling."

Fred went to his room and locked the door. Pietro put his money back in his pocket. Lance was stil picking up the things that had tiped over.

"We are never going to find out," Pietro said," What if Todd told his girlfriend not to come."

"She is coming," Lance said," I can feel it."
