"Ophelia! In my office! NOW!" Ms. O yelled. Ophelia, the newest member of Odd Squad, headed up to Ms. O's office.
"You wanted to see me Ms. O?" Ophelia asked.
"Yes, let me get something straight with you," Ms. O answered, "I know you have autism."
"What?!" Ophelia exclaimed, "How did you know?"
"After we hire a new person, we request their medical records," Ms. O said.
"You won't tell anyone, will you?" Ophelia pleaded.
"Of course not," Ms. O said, "I just wanted to make sure we understand each other. But Ophelia, even though you're not going to tell anyone else, they're still going to tease you for things you might do. And besides, you are the oldest agent on the squad."
"But I've heard that you've been on the squad since..." Ophelia started.
"That's different," Ms. O interrupted, "I haven't aged over ten. You, on the other hand are fifteen. That's the oldest anyone has joined the squad."
"I know," Ophelia said, "But, you hired me just because I have autism?"
"Of course not," Ms. O answered, "We look at medical records after you're accepted into the squada The real reason on why I hired you is that even though you're growing up, you're still a child at heart, meaning you still act like a child."
"Is that a good thing, or a bad thing?" Ophelia asked.
"It's a good things," Ms. O said, " Now, go to the park, something very odd has happened."
"Right away Ms. O," Ophelia said as she walked out.
