A/N: Thank you to all those who read and reviewed the previous chapter. I really appreciate it. I'm sorry it took longer for me to update this. Honestly, I really haven't been able to have much access to a computer. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this third chapter.

Disclaimer: The characters in this chapter, do not belong to me. I am just borrowing them.

A few days later, while the Reid family were eating dinner, Spencer was upset as he just kept scooting his food around on his plate with his fork. Not once taking a bite of anything. Although there were no tears, his parents could tell he was upset and they knew why. He was upset over a discussion they had earlier that day about him, with the school.

"Spencer, there is nothing wrong with skipping a few grades," said Diane. "Mrs. Santos said It'd be good for you."

"Yeah, just think, instead of having to wait ten years to graduate high school, you'll be graduating in seven years," said William. "And you'd be going to college early than most students. Wouldn't you want that?"

"No, I don't want that," Spencer complained. "I want to be able to experience every grade in school and if I go straight into fifth grade, I'll miss out on the rest of second grade, third grade and fourth grade. I like school and I want to be able to go to every grade."

Diane ran a hand through her hair in frustration. "Look, Spencer," she began. "I know you like school and you want to experience every grade just like everyone else, but the school says you need this. You need to be with students whose level of intelligence is almost similar to yours."

"But I want to be in the same grade as all my friends," the sound of sadness was becoming clear in Spencer's voice. "In fifth grade, there is no Emily Prentiss, Will LaMontagne, Haley Brookes or anyone else that I've known since kindergarten," he paused for a moment. "I won't be able to see any of them, again."

"You can still see them, outside of school, like on the weekends," William tried to explain. "It isn't like we're moving away."

"That's how it feels though," said Spencer. "I just wish I was normal like everyone else."

"There's nothing wrong with being a genius," said Diane. "I'll tell you what, why don't you just try being a fifth grader for one day and if you don't like it, you can go back to being in the second grade."

For the first time that evening, Spencer stopped scooting his food around on his plate and looked up at both of his parents. "You really mean that," he asked. "If I truly don't enjoy it, I can leave and go back to the second grade?"

"Absolutely," said William.

Spencer was quiet for a moment as he appeared to be thinking. Finally, he sighed. "Okay, I'll try it," he said. "but if I don't like it, I'm going right back to second grade and you two better not take back your promise," he warned his parents. "Remember, I have a very good memory. So you better not tell me I can't go back to the second grade if I don't like the fifth grade."

"Spencer, we promise we will not take back our promise," Diane reassured her son.

Spencer looked at his father. "You too, daddy," he asked.

"I promise," said William.

Finally for the first time that evening, Spencer took a bite of his meal. Although he didn't want to admit it, there was a small part of him that was kind of thrilled to be skipping a few grades. But he was also terrified that if he enjoyed being in the fifth grade, he wouldn't want to go back to the second grade. What if no one in the fifth grade liked him? What if his friends in second grade forget about him or hate him for leaving them? He kept these thoughts to himself as he and his parents ate the rest of their dinner in silence. Spencer could only hope these fears of his could be put to rest, soon.

End of chapter three. I'm sorry it's short. I tried to think of more to add to it, but I just couldn't think of anything else. Plus, I'd like to admit that this is probably the most difficult chapter I have ever written. I didn't really know where I was going with it, so I just threw a bunch of words together and hoped everything would work out okay. Anyway, please leave me some reviews. I'd love to know what you all thought. Just don't be too cruel if you hated it. Chapter four will be up soon.
