"Mom, do I really have to go to school?" whined Meg.
It had been four days since Meg had been struck by lightning, she wasn't really looking forward to going to school. What if one of the kids found out about her power?
"Yes Meg." replied Lois. "You've already missed three days, and don't you have a Math test?"
"But what if the kids find out I'm temporarily phsycic?" asked Meg. "Then they'll think I'm a freak!"
"Um Meg open your eyes, you're already a freak." interrupted Peter who had just gotten out of the hospital.
"I saved your life twice old man, so don't go making fun of me." muttered Meg.
"I'm your father and you'll let me make fun of you when I want!" yelled Peter.
"You don't own me you fat-"
"Stop it!" interrupted Lois. "Meg go get Chris and walk to the bus stop, Peter stop making fun of Meg, she saved your life two times."
"Fine." muttered Peter.
At school, Meg was feeling nervous. Everytime she passed a student and they looked at her, she would go ballistic.
When she finally go to her locker, the world turned black once again. Meg was with a guy who was wearing a football jacket.
"Would you like to go to the dance?" asked the guy.
"I'd love to!" replied Meg.
"Meg! Meg!" called someone.
Suddenly the locker came back. She realized that someone was tapping her on the shoulder.
"Earth to Meg." said Courtney, the girl whose locker was next to her's.
"Oh hey!" greeted Meg.
"Did you like space out or something?" asked Courtney.
"Sorry about that." said Meg. "I'm just thinking."
"So where have you been?" asked Courtney.
"Oh, I got struck by lightning." replied Meg.
"Ouch! And you're still alive? That is so cool!" cried Courtney.
Suddenly before Meg could stop her, Courtney shouted out to everyone in the hallway.
"Everyone! Meg got struck by lightning and survived! It's a miracle."
A few people said "Great", but most people groaned.
"I'd better get to class." said Meg.
Meg was in her math class waiting for the teacher Mr. Mathwhiz to get there. She started feeling nervous, she had not studied a single bit. Suddenly the classroom went dark once more and she saw Mr. Mathwhiz handing her a test.
"Congratulations Meg!" he exclaimed. "A plus!"
The room came back into focus. Mr. Mathwhiz was standing right in front of Meg frowning and tapping his foot.
"Come on Meg, clear off your desk! It's time for the test." he said.
As soon as he handed the test to her, she realized something. In her vision when she got the test back, she could see the answers. And she remembered them plain as day.
All day at school, she waited for the cute boy to ask her to the dance, but he never did.
When she got home, she was so happy that she started singing.
"What are you so happy about?" grumbled Peter.
"I had a teriffic day at school!" she exclaimed.
"Well that's great, listen Meg, I've been thinking and I've decided I'm proud of you."
"What!" cried Meg.
"Well, It's not easy for me to admit it, but I...owe...umm." Peter paused and looked at the floor and not at Meg. "I...owe...you for saving my life."
Suddenly he burst out of the room crying.
Meg felt that she could do anything, this was the best feeling ever! Especially making Peter cry.
