"Oh, man, oh, man, oh, man..." Cindy groaned as she was going to wait for a ride to school and had a giant tissue to her nose. "I need a ride! I need a ride!"
"Hey, Butler, need a ride?!" Jo called out as she pulled up.
"Yeah, thanks, dude!" Cindy said as she got inside the mobile.
"Want an Egg McMuffin?" Justine offered.
"Yes, yes, thank you, thank you!" Cindy replied.
"You okay, Cindy?" Justine asked. "You seem tense."
"It was dry in my room last night, so I barely slept and I had a bad nosebleed..." Cindy sniffled.
"Wow, that's rough, man." Jo said.
"I really think Drell is messing me up bad!" Cindy growled.
"Why do you always gotta blame Drell?" Jo asked.
"Uh, because he's a jerk!" Cindy replied. "Besides, if it wasn't Drell, then lightning would strike down on me!"
As if on cue, lightning struck down on Cindy which made her cough violently.
"Okay, it's not Drell." Cindy wheezed.
"We're almost at school," Justine soothed. "It will get better today."
"Maybe you're right." Cindy sighed.
"One question: How did you get a nosebleed?" Justine asked.
"I told you, my room was too dry last night," Cindy said. "That causes nosebleeds."
Jo and Justine then looked to each other in response.
"Hey, isn't that Ellody?" Cindy then pointed out.
"Where?" Justine asked.
Cindy leaned over and knelt to see the teenage genius girl. "There she is!" she then almost fell out of the mobile, but she got a hold of the seat and she then wiped her forehead in relief. "That was close."
Ellody waved to them. "Hey, guys."
"Hey, Ellody, you need a ride?" Cindy invited. "You could ride with us!"
"Especially to get away with Miss Crazy-In-Training." Jo added in.
"Crazy-In-Training," Cindy laughed. "Good one."
"Well, okay..." Ellody smiled. "I usually walk with Lightning, but I don't know where he is this morning."
"He probably left early to get to basketball try-outs, I saw it all over ToonFace." Justine said.
"Ugh," Jo rolled her eyes. "I was so close this morning to pounding his face in."
Cindy took out a purple book. "I am Josie, I am ten, I live in the Metropolitan Hotel..."
Soon enough, they were at school and Lightning, Scott, Chicken, Jade, and Katrina were waiting for their other friend.
"Jo my man, can I ask you a question?" Lightning asked.
"What?" Jo gritted her teeth.
"Why do you go to the girls' locker room?" Lightning asked. "Are you a pervert or something?"
Jo's right eye then twitched.
Cindy sighed at them. "Three... Two... One."
Lightning was then punched and beaten up.
"Never a dull moment..." Cindy walked off as she continued to read her new book about a little girl living in a hotel with her babysitter.
"It was just a question!" Lightning screamed as he held his area.
Scott then overheard some screaming. "That's Lightning."
"I think I miss living in Gumboot..." Cindy rolled her eyes.
"Butt Monkey!" Maggie called out. "It's time for your daily beating!" she then tackled Cindy and beat her up.
"HEEELLP!" Cindy cried out.
"You starting to appreciate your life here?" Maggie asked, gripping her collar.
"Yes..." Cindy looked painfully dizzy.
"Are you sure?" Maggie asked.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Cindy yelped.
"I don't buy it." Maggie said as she then dragged Cindy to the school.
"No, no, NOOOO!" Cindy panicked.
"That's never a dull moment." Jade broke the fourth wall while pointing to the kids.
"Good morning, Maggie." Justine greeted.
"Morning, Justine." Maggie replied.
"Where are you going with Cindy?" Justine asked.
"Just taking her to school..." Maggie said.
"I wish I didn't have to go to school like Josie," Cindy hugged her new book. "She has a tutor."
"Cindy, isn't that book for little kids?" Justine asked.
"I can't help it, I just adore Josie at the Metropolitan!" Cindy gushed. "I wish I could be just like her!"
"Jo, come on or we'll be late for class!" Justine called.
"Coming, Babe!" Jo called back.
Ellody sighed as she looked at her mother's picture in her locker.
"Ellody, are you okay?" Katrina asked.
"Huh? Oh, yes, we better get to class." Ellody replied.
"You seem sad about something..." Katrina said.
"It's nothing..." Ellody closed her eyes and walked off.
"Hmm..." Katrina hummed suspiciously to the genius girl.
"Did Lightning win the Super Bowl?" Lightning asked in a daze.
"No, Lightning, in fact, you're asked to not be around Jo for the rest of the day or else you'll be put in the hospital for a week." Chicken said.
"Especially in gym class, now let's go." Scott added in as he grabbed the over-achiever by his shirt.
