767 Sunshine Road. Be there by 11. Read Dylan's text.
Cameron:k will do dilly.
Dylan: Alright Ronnie.
Me: Can I come over now?
Dylan: Your supposed to be smart, figure it out.
Me: On second thought I'll come over later.
Cameron: lets go now we r behind already
Me:Fine
The only reason I agreed was that my mom was having her friends over and I would rather deal with "Dilly".
"Mom, I'm going to Delany's house." I lied.
"For what? You know I am having guests over today. So unless it is important you are not allowed to go." She said while washing her hands.
"We have a history project together." I lied again.
"On what?" She asked, trying to see if I was lying.
"She failed the test we had yesterday so we are doing a project on the Bill of Rights to raise our scores." I said with no hesitation. I already had a lie planned out.
"Hm, so if you called Delaney she would say yes?" She asked. Luckily I didn't panic.
"Yep."
"Call her for me then." She said. I pulled out my phone. Before my mom could see I sent a "SOS M" message. She sent a thumbs up in return while I deleted my message.
"Hello?" Delaney answered.
"Hey. I'm on my way to do the project." I replied.
"Okay! I emailed our teacher about the 7th amendment. He said that we could google ideas about it but we can't copy. I think I have a few ideas, but you know I'm not the brightest person." She said, fitting perfectly into the lie.
"Alright we'll see what we can do when I get there. Bye" I said, hanging up.
"I'll be gone now." I said, walking out the door. Sometimes my mom was too much.

I saw Cameron on the way too Dylan's house. Luckily our neighborhood was small so you could walk almost anywhere.
"Hey Ronnie." I greeted him, laughing.
"I knew Dylan had some humor in him." He replied.
"I guess." I said. I realized he was carrying a box.
"Are those the ants?" I asked. I was so thankful that we weren't doing the project at my house. I didn't need another thing for my mom to yell at.
"Yep. I also bought a few extras just in case they die or something. Also to put them in Dylan's bed." He said, chuckling. I laughed along with him.
"I guess this is it?" I asked Cameron pointing to a yellow brick house. And yes it was actually yellow.
"Um, yeah 767? Didn't think Dylan would have a yellow house." He joked. But I agreed with him. It didn't look like Dylan's house.
It was a tall, fainted yellow, brick house. It had a few willow trees and... flowers? I was starting to think we were at the wrong house.
Cameron went up to knock and, who I'm guessing was his mom, answered the door.
"You must be Cameron, and-" She paused. Did Dylan really not tell his mom about me?
"Kenna. Nice to meet you Mrs. Parker." I filled in for her. She looked surprised.
"Kenna Torres?" She asked.
"Ye-" I started but Cameron interrupted me.
"No, that's a different Kenna at our school. This is, my... sister. Kenna Anderson." He said. I shot him a glance.
