When Friday finally came, I had to admit that Cassie’s Egg Force One looked pretty good. She had used a handkerchief to create a small parachute. It was tied to a basket that held soft packing peanuts and, in the center of it all, her egg. Cassie cast a queer look at me as if to declare war. The competition was on. My classmates carried their egg containers up three stadium steps and dropped them over the side wall. One by one. The egg broke, the owner out. Sighs and yells echoed. Soon the side walk was already dotted with egg shells from failed drops.

By the fourth round, only Cassie and I were left. Taking a deep breath, I let go of my box. Then I raced down and got to the bottom before Cassie did. When I saw yolk and egg white seeping from the container, my heart sank. Then I saw Cassie’s basket lying beside mine, empty. “My egg bounced out,” she explained, pointing to a broken shell in the grass. “I guess the pilot had an egg-jector seat,” I offered. Cassie looked at me, and her glare softened. I grinned. She giggled. “A tie,” Mr. Beal announced. But we knew we'd won something more important than the Egg Drop Challenge.
