include at least one wacky number in the mix.
    “What did you put down?” Fiona asked when she returned to the bus.
    Aimee stood behind her. “Come on, Maddie, tell us,” she pleaded.
    “I filled out most of the columns, but I don’t know who to put under GUY ,” Madison said.
    Lindsay, who had just come aboard the bus, too, chuckled and peeked over at Madison’s paper. “She wrote Hart , Dan , and Egg ,” Lindsay whispered.
    “Lindsay!” Madison said. Luckily none of those boys had come back to the bus yet.
    “Did you say Egg?” Aimee teased.
    “Egg?” Fiona asked, sitting back down with a disturbed look on her face.
    “I just wrote down guys we know from school,” Madison said. “It doesn’t mean anything.”
    “Then put Chet instead of Egg,” Fiona said.
    “Yeah, Maddie,” Aimee added. “Or Joey. He picks his nose.”
    “Just remember, Egg is not available,” Lindsay said.
    Fiona gave her a teeny punch. “Don’t be so loud when you say that,” she said, looking embarrassed. “Someone might hear you.”
    “Egg is not available,” Lindsay repeated, speaking barely above a whisper this time.
    “Nah, Egg is FRIED!” Aimee joked.
    The girls burst out laughing—even Fiona.
    Meanwhile, the remaining seventh graders began to file back onto the bus. Ivy came prancing down the aisle with her drones. She paused near Madison’s seat and glared.
    “Hey, Maddie, did I happen to mention that Hart and I are going to the Spring Fling?” Ivy said. The Spring Fling was a school dance coming up in a few weeks.
    Madison glared right back. “No, you forgot to mention that.” She knew Ivy was probably exaggerating or lying. She always tried to make Madison jealous when it came to Hart. It was bad enough having an enemy—but it was even worse when you liked the same boy.
    As Poison Ivy passed, Lindsay nudged Madison.
    “You have one more name to fill in,” Lindsay said, pointing to the M.A.S.H. sheet.
    “Your destiny awaits… Let’s get a move on!” Aimee said.
    Madison thought for a minute and then scribbled down the fourth name of a guy for her list. She thought of writing Drew but put down Roger Gillespie , as a joke. Roger was Aimee’s oldest brother.
    “Get out !” Aimee cried when she saw the name. “Roger? That’s disgusting!”
    Madison laughed and filled in the rest of the page.
    After selecting a random number, the girls crossed off answers until Madison’s M.A.S.H. destiny was revealed. In the final tabulation, Madison was a pop diva, riding in her private jet, living in the jungle in a shack, honeymooning in the North Pole, and having 99 kids.
    Yeah, right.
    Her perfect guy? Egg Diaz.
    Madison immediately crumpled up the paper. As usual, M.A.S.H. came out sillier than expected. Much to Fiona’s dismay, everyone else discovered that she was destined to marry Egg. At least no one got Hart.
    The bus pulled out of the parking lot, back onto the highway, and drove on for at least two hours more. Some kids dozed off, but Madison stayed alert throughout the ride.
    “We are coming up to the Jasper Woods area in just a few moments,” Mrs. Goode’s voice boomed through the bus. Everyone shifted and stared out the window to see where they would be spending the next few days.
    “I saw Bigfoot!” a voice from the back of the bus squealed. “Look!”
    A bunch of kids bolted from one side of the bus to the other. Madison could feel the whole bus shake.
    “Sit down! Sit down!” Mrs. Goode yelled. “We will be arriving momentarily. Please collect your belongings and sit…”
    As the bus jerked forward, Madison grabbed the seat so she wouldn’t crash sideways into Lindsay. From the back of the bus Ivy wailed.
    “Look,” a boy said, pointing out the window to a clearing with a grassy hill. “I hope we go there.”
    High up on the hill, Madison saw what he was pointing to: a tall tower. Lindsay said it looked rusted, but Madison thought maybe it was just painted orange. A tower in her
