Paige sat and got ready. Then somebody knocked. Paige looked up to see a
man and woman standing in the doorway.
"Can I help you?" Paige asked.
"The lady outside said you were Paige Matthews. That is you right?" the man said very nicely.
"Yes that's me. Paige Matthews. You must be.?" Paige broke off.
"Oh. Molly's parents. I'm Richard. This is my wife, Jessica," Jason said.
"I'm Molly," Molly said from behind her parents.
"Hi, Molly. I'm Paige," Paige said, holding her hand out.
Molly shook it and smiled. "Hi Paige. I like your name," Molly said.
"Well thank you. I like yours too. Now, you're twelve right?" Paige asked.
"Yes, she is. But I must say, I have no idea why we're here," Richard said.
"Please sit down," Paige said, walking behind her desk and sitting down.
They all sat down. "I'm sorry I have to ask this, but have you ever .hurt Molly in any way?" Paige asked Molly's parents.
"How can you ask that?" Richard yelled, standing up.
"Jason, please," Jessica said.
"They're not my real parents," Molly said quietly.
"How dare you say that, you freak!" Richard yelled.
"Please keep your voice down sir," Paige said.
"I was adopted by them," Molly said.
"No one mentioned that to me," Paige said.
"Because she is our daughter!" Richard said.
"Mr. and Mrs..," Paige began, but she forgot their last names.
"Seal," Richard said.
"Mr. and Mrs. Seal, will you please step outside for a minute?" Paige asked.
"No! She is our daughter and we will not leave her with you!" Richard said.
"Richard, please. It will only be a minute, right?" Jessica asked.
"Yes."
They went outside, having an argument.
"They always do that," Molly said.
"Does your dad ever get so mad at your mom that he hurts you physically?" Paige asked.
"Yes. Only sometimes though."
Paige wrote something down.
"It's only because they can't handle what and who I am," Molly whispered.
"Sorry?"
"Can I show you something?" Molly asked, getting up.
"Sure."
Molly held out her hand in front of a pencil holder Paige had on her desk. It moved in a blue light, just like Paige could do.
"Can I help you?" Paige asked.
"The lady outside said you were Paige Matthews. That is you right?" the man said very nicely.
"Yes that's me. Paige Matthews. You must be.?" Paige broke off.
"Oh. Molly's parents. I'm Richard. This is my wife, Jessica," Jason said.
