high school and it's time to grow up?”
“If Mr. Fenton is involved, they're going to learn soon,” Carl said.
Tony rolled his eyes. “We have our work cut out for us this year. Fights, pranks, trying to get someone to drop out, not what I want to see going around my school.”
“We can only have so much influence, Tiny,” Shannon said. “I can work on the guys that come out for football, usually they count for half of the messes anyway, but there are always going to be a handful that refuses to be reached.”
“I know. But we got to do our best. Its only the second day and we got our quota of moronic behavior for the month. If this keeps up, we might have to give up on the senior prank.”
“Ooh,” David said as he found something more interesting than freshmen drama. “The senior prank,” he rubbed his hands together. “Have you figured out what it's going to be?”
“Haven't decided yet,” Tony said, “but we have to top last year’s class.”
Ted was equally as interested in the topic. “Last year’s class was lame. Spray painting 'Seniors Rule' all over the place wasn't a prank, it was vandalism.”
“It'll be something epic,” Carl said. “After all, Tiny is involved.”
“I have some ideas. But we have time. Senior prank isn't until the spring anyway.”
“We could move it to homecoming?” Shannon said. “That would take them off guard.”
Tony paused for a second to give the suggestion some thought. “We could, but homecoming is only in a few weeks and to do something worthwhile takes major planning,”
“I say we steal Mrs. Reed's car,” Carl offered.
“The principal's car,” Shannon said with eagerness. “Classic.”
“We want to pull a prank,” Tony said, “not become felons.”
Carl shrugged. “We got to do something huge, something legendary, something they will talk about for years to come.”
“We'll do something,” Antonio said. He had a good idea what, and would need a couple of strong guys to pull it off. What the group didn't know was the administration always knew about the senior prank in advanced, and often approved of it. Of course, there were a few times certain students freelanced on their own, but usually the pranks were minor and sophomoric.
The table continued to discuss possible pranks, but Antonio found his attention diverted. Like the day before, Courtney was the last person to enter the cafeteria and go in line. He watched her closely.
'What could she have done for the other freshmen to want her to drop out of school?' Tony asked himself as the table continued their conversation without him.
He eyed the girl intently. She had that worried look on her face as she shuffled her feet. Her eyes scanned the cafeteria as she kept her back against the wall while making her was through the line.
“She looks more worried than yesterday,” Tony said out loud, inadvertently talking over someone.
“Who?” Tracy asked.
Tony motioned with a nod of his head towards the end of the line.
“Oh, the wallflower,” Tracy said. “You're starting to sound obsessed.”
“I'm not obsessed, just worried.”
Shannon took a swig of milk. “You know Tiny, he isn’t happy if he isn't saving the world.”
“I'm not out to save the world,” Tony said as his eyes followed the girl. Her jumper was a little askew, but that was probably from sliding in and out of the desk during morning classes. “Besides, didn't we decide we were going to make a difference this year?”
“I don't know Tiny,” Carl said sympathetically, “some things may be beyond our power.”
Dave turned towards the girl. “Yeah, Tiny. I don't know about this one. Looks like she has mental problems. Maybe she needs a psychiatrist.”
“Maybe she's Schizophrenic,” Ted added.
Antonio shook his head at the idea. “Maybe she has a group of idiot freshmen trying
