Stowaways - Steve Brezenoff
It was only the second day of spring break, and Tucker Paulsen was already exhausted. He let out a huge yawn as he sat on the front steps of the Greenville History Museum and waited for his best friend Maya Cho to arrive.
Tucker’s mom had given him a hard time that morning about how tired he was when she woke him up. Tucker had made up an excuse about not going to bed early enough, and his mom hadn’t questioned it. Thankfully. He couldn’t exactly tell her the real reason he was so tired.
I doubt it’d go over well if I told her Maya and I spent yesterday in Ireland, Tucker thought. In 1912.
Tucker waved as Maya’s mother pulled up in front of the museum. Maya hopped out and reached into the back seat to grab her bag. She waved as her mom drove away, then turned and hurried up the museum’s big stone steps.
You didn’t have to wait outside for me,
Maya said as she walked up. I know how to get in.
Tucker nodded. I know,
he said quickly. But I thought we should talk before we have to see my mom. You know, come up with a plan.
A plan for what?
Maya asked. She strode up to the big double doors at the entrance to the museum and grabbed the handle.
For how to get into the storeroom again,
Tucker said. Duh.
He leaned against the door so Maya couldn’t open it yet. "I hardly slept at all last night. I just couldn’t stop thinking about Liam and his parents, stuck on the Titanic!"
Maya sighed. Tucker, I told you yesterday, that happened a hundred years ago,
she reminded him. You worry too much. Now move.
Maya let out a yawn. Truthfully, she hadn’t slept well either—and it hadn’t helped that she’d stayed up late researching the Titanic online.
We have to do something,
Tucker insisted. We have to figure out how to get back to 1912.
I don’t know if I want to go back, Tucker,
Maya said, shaking her head. Look, it’s not that I don’t want to help the Kearneys. I do. I just don’t want to get stuck in 1912 forever. We’re lucky to have made it back to the present once. I don’t want to risk it again.
Tucker stared at her stubbornly. We can’t just give up,
he insisted.
Maya sighed. Any chance you’re going to let this go anytime soon?
she asked.
Tucker shook his head.
Fine,
Maya said. But let me handle your mom.
She gave the door a strong jerk and yanked it open.
Maya marched in and across the main hall. She headed straight to Tucker’s mother’s office.
Tucker trailed a few steps behind her. Wait!
he said. Don’t go in yet! We don’t have a plan!
Maya ignored him, "Hi,
