Khal had proposed something related to projectiles, so it was unlikely we’d get put together, even though I’d dropped lots of hints to Mr. Hammond that Khal and I would make a super team. I was 99.9 percent sure I’d get paired with Aadesh. Clearly, Mr. H wanted to win the money. He knew Aadesh was a brain. Together, we’d be unstoppable! “Khalfani Jones and Dwight David Del Santos,” Mr. Hammond announced. “Dang,” Khal said under his breath. “That kid’s a complete knucklehead.” “Too bad,” I whispered, “but you had your chance to work with a serious scientist.” Khal crossed his arms and sank lower in his chair. “Brendan Buckley …” My ears perked up. “And Morgan Belcher.” Khal sputtered like a waterlogged engine. Morgan scowled in our direction. I shook my head quickly and hitched my thumb toward Khal to let her know it wasn’t me who’d made the sound. Mr. Hammond continued. “You both had great ideas for alternative energy projects and I know together you’ll come up with something stellar.”
What do You think about Brendan Buckley's Sixth-Grade Experiment (2012)?
