Flint and Leia came through the door after school. Leia ran toward her parents with a huge smile on her face. "Mom! Dad!" she said, while waving a piece of paper in the air excitedly. "What do you have in your hand, Sweetie?" asked Lydia. Leia handed the sheet to her mom. Lydia looked down at it reading out loud, "Beacon Hills Elementary presents the twenty-fifth annual school dance, April 7th". She looked at her daughter who had a smile the size of California on her face. "That sounds fun. I guess you want to go." Leia nodded fast. Lydia then looked at her son who had a down look on his face. "Is something wrong, Flint?" she asked.
"I don't have anyone to go with," said Flint in a sad voice.
Lydia bent down to her son's level. "Neither does Leia," said Lydia.
"Yes, she does. She's going with Owen," he said in an annoyed teasing voice. "She wouldn't stop talking about it on the bus".
"Aww, Sweetie, it'll be okay. Would some chocolate peanut butter chip cookies help the pain?" asked Lydia. Flint nodded and ran to the table.
Flint had ADHD. That's what the doctor told his parents. Flint's teacher suggested to Stiles and Lydia that he should get tested. Stiles and Lydia had been speculating for a few weeks, especially after Noah pointed it out. Noah saw a lot of his son in his grandson, including those signs.
Monday rolled around and Flint was worried that the other kids could tell from looking at him. Stiles had assured him five times that they couldn't.
"Everyone, it's time to go outside, please take your spot in line," said the teacher, Mr. Randall. Everyone got up from their seats nicely, except Flint who got up and ran over. Once everyone was in line and supposed to stay still, Flint could not.
The kids went outside and three of the boys started talking and laughing at Flint. Flint didn't know what they were laughing about, so he went to find out.
"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" he asked enthusiastically. They kept laughing. "I don't get it. Can't you tell me?" asked Flint.
They looked at each other until one of the boys spoke up. "If I throw a stick, will you go away?"
Flint looked confused. "I don't get it still".
"He's trying to tell you to go away freak," said one of the other boys. Flint didn't know what to think, but he started to cry.
"Cry baby," said the third boy as he pushed Flint to the ground.
Leia and Owen had found Felicity and the three were walking together when they heard a thump on the ground. They ran over to the sound and found Flint pushed to the ground. Leia could tell who did that to her brother. "Felicity, go get your teacher please," said Owen. Leia took one strong look at the boys then screamed before Owen could stop her. The boys covered their ears and fell to the ground.
"What happened here?" asked Mr. Randall.
And that's how they ended up in Principle Raeken's office. Yes, Raeken as in Theo. After everything that had happened he had turned himself around and become one of the good guys. The three mean boys were sent home for the rest of the week. Now, just the twins were in the office. "So, you have powers like your mother?" asked Theo. They both nodded their heads. "You can't go around using your powers during school. People could get hurt. What if Flint here had gotten hurt today, you wouldn't like that right? She nodded. "I have to call your parents. Flint, you can go back to class".
"Thank you, Th… Principle Raeken," said Flint as he left.
"You said they wouldn't be able to tell," said Flint to Stiles when he picked the kids up from school.
"I didn't think they would, Bud. We will figure out how to help you," said Stiles.
"What are we going to do with her?" asked Lydia referring to Leia. "It took me forever to learn and there was only one person… who, knew anything…"
"No, no, no. We are not letting her learn from him. Not going to happen," said Stiles.
"Come on, he may be the only one and I'll make sure my mom is there with them. She is her grandmother," said Lydia.
"That doesn't make me feel much better, but fine, and only because we both have to work all week, and she can't go to school".
