inside than it looks outside,” Ola explains. “Right?” Emma and I confess at the same time. After we drop our bags on the beds, we race for the golf cart. “I call driving first,” Rebecca shouts. We jump in after her. Emma and Rebecca in the front, and Ola and I in the back. We all hold on dearly for the bumpy ride ahead. We ride around all of the houses, up the hills and through the woods.

On a dreary winter day, Ms. Gates assigned the entire class a new history project. She told us, “You must travel back to the 1800s and this time actually learn something.” Of course, Jamyra’s hand immediately shot up and she shouted, “I have a question!” Immediately, Riley and I made eye contact and we decided to be partners.
