In the Best Interest--"Trust"
The next morning Peter slowly walked to the boy's dorm. He was going to have to tell Sam that he would be going home, permanently. He didn't have a chance, however, when Cole came jogging up to him. "Do you have a minute, Peter?" he asked. Peter looked at his watch. "I don't know, Cole..." Cole interupted, "it'll just take a minute. I've decided to stay. I mean, I fit in better with the older kids probably but I've gotten a few kids here, too." Peter nodded, "Thanks for telling me. Well, I don't know if you were there when Sophie told everyone, but we have the rope course today." he explained. Cole nodded. "Cool, thanks. See ya later. Oh yeah what time?" he asked. "Hmm... about an hour. 'til then, free time." he answered. Cole ran off.
Peter walked into the boy's dorm. Sam was packing his bags. "Hey, Sam, what are you doing?" he asked. "Sophie already told me. DOn't worry. i'm fine. I think I'm actually kind of happy. I'll be able to spend time with my parents. Get to know them for once." Sam mumbled. "You sure, Sam?" He hesitated then nodded. "I guess..I guess knowing that I'm not Sam. I'm Sim..I guess knowing that is helping me. I don't know how to explain it. Look, they're driving up now. None of my brothers or my sister are in there. I'll be okay."
It was a silent short walk to the car. Sam hugged his parents then turned to Peter, the light reflecting off his hair. "It's been really fun here, Peter." Sam admitted and shook hands with Peter. "Give this to Ben-Benji, alright?" Sam whispered, putting a letter scribbled on notebook paper in Peter's hands. Peter smiled. "You're a good kid, Sam," he said and patted Sam on the back. "If you ever need anything, just call." Sam nodded. He got into the car. "Bye." he called.

Peter walked to where the kids were huddled. He remembered the original bunch. Subtract Sam and Tori. Added Benji, Alison, Riley. Add Nikki.Benji was over by himself, staring at the wall and the ropes course that Peter had made.
Peter walked over to Benji. "Hey, Benji. How are you?" Benji shrugged, "Great, as usual." "Sam wanted me to give you this." Peter said, putting the piece of paper in Benji's hands. "Great. Another put-down about-" Peter shook his head, "Read it, Benji. Just read it." he instructed.
Then he walked to the front of the group. "Today, you'll be teamed up with a partner. On of you will be going across the course and I'll be on one side of you and your partner will be on the other. This excercise is to get you to trust your peers."
"If we fall flat on our as-faces, how is that making us trust someone?" Katie asked. "Thta's why there will be someone on both sides of you so you don't fall." Peter pointed out. "Can we pick our own groups?" Mark piped up. Sophie shook her head. "That's not fair to some of you. The groups are as follows: Cole and Mark, Benji and Alison, Kristin and Katie, and Nikki and Riley." Peter raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?" he asked, motioning towards the Kristin and Katie, and Nikki and Riley groups. Sophie pulled him over. "I need to talk to Nikki. I think there's something really wrong. And I'd like to have ameeting with Alison. I don't think I've heard four words from her.About Kristin and Katie, I think that even though Kristin likes to test her limits and Katie, too, I think that they both know to be serious around this kind of stuff. I hope," she said.
