Algebra, Twins and Locked Doors
Thank you so much for all of your lovely reviews and ideas for what I should write about! I would like to give a huge thank you to my best friend Alice who helped me with some ideas, and thank you to Ben and Dan for letting me use them in this chapter.
My next chapter is going to be about Anne finding her power. I don't know what to write after that so your ideas are still welcome.
DISCLAIMER – I do not own Lewis or his power. I do however own my OCs Mr Hill, Ben and Dan.
Lewis, Ben and Dan always sat in the back row of the class, throwing things at their classmates and irritating their teachers. Lewis always got away with it, much to the annoyance of the twins, who always got caught.
"- and that shows that 'x' equals 5 – Dan! I saw that!" the teacher turned his back to the board.
Today their algebra teacher attempted to make them behave by separating them.
"Saw what?" Dan hid his half made Paper aeroplane under his desk.
"You know what." Mr Hill stormed over to him.
"I didn't do anything!"
Across the room, his brother, Ben, burst out laughing.
"It was Ben!" Dan yelled over the laughter from his class.
Ben stopped laughing. "I didn't do anything!" he said, suddenly very serious.
"Enough!" The teacher tried to calm his uncontrolled class down. "All three of you out!"
Lewis looked up from his magazine, which was hidden behind his text book.
"I didn't do anything!" he protested.
"GO!"
The three boys rose from their chairs and filled out of the room.
The moment they were out of the room they looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"How – How – did - you – manage - to do – to do - that, Lewis?" Ben struggled to say through laughter.
Lewis stopped laughing.
"I didn't do anything…." Lewis looked at them, confused.
"Sure, sure" the brothers said together, still laughing.
Lewis wasn't lying. He hadn't. He was planning on throwing the book of the girl sat next to him at Mr Hill. He imagined it hitting the teacher square in the back, the next thing he knew, he was yelling at Dan for it. Lewis knew not to say anything to them, they wouldn't believe him if he did.
Lewis thought he must have some kind of memory problem. Things always moved when he was thinking about moving them, so he must have actually done it and not remembered doing so, which always led to screaming matches with his dad. When he tried to explain this to his sister she just laughed, and asked if he was telekinetic, that was impossible, how could he be? But he more he thought about it, the more that was the only explanation.
"Are you listening to me, Lewis?" Mr Hill's voice snapped Lewis from his daydream.
"What?"
Mr Hill looked angry, "The three of you have detention tonight."
The twins began to protest.
"I do not care! I will contact your parents this afternoon, and then I want all of you back here when the bell rings.
*3*3*3*
Lewis was the first to arrive back at the Algebra room that afternoon, his geography class, which was the only one Ben and Dan weren't in, was only down the hall from it.
Lewis took a seat in the front row and concentrated on the pen that was sat on his desk.
I wonder, he thought, I want this pen to draw on the face of the next person to enter the room.
Lewis imagined the pen drawing a line on Dan's face, but it could have been Ben, they were identical after all.
He chuckled to himself. That is really stupid.
The door opened and Dan entered.
Lewis watched in astonishment as the pen jumped from the desk and drew a line down Dan's left cheek and dropped back onto the floor.
"How did you – ?" Dan looked at Lewis in surprise.
"Baby bro! What's the hold up?" Ben shoved past his brother and into the room. "Who drew on you?"
"Lewis," Dan turned to him, "I think."
"You think? Well there is no one else in here, stupid." Ben took the seat behind Lewis.
"S'pose." Dan sat behind him.
That was the thing about the twins; they never sat next to each other.
Mr Hill walked into the room.
"You boys will stay in there," the old man said, "I have some issues I have to deal with." And with that he left.
"We will give it five them leave." Lewis decided.
"One problem with that." Dan rattled the door handle.
"Oh?"
"The doors locked." Ben kicked at it.
"What?" Lewis jumped from his seat, knocking it to the floor, and launched himself at the door. Rattling the handle he noticed that it was indeed locked.
If I made that pen jump then why not unlock the door? Lewis thought ridiculously. I know how a key works, so maybe if I –
Lewis imagined the machinisms inside the door moving, making the door unlock.
He tried the door again. It was unlocked.
Lewis tried to hid a grin as he pulled the door open.
"You two are so thick, you can't even open a door. Lets go."
The trio crept down the hallway, ducking under classroom window, so they couldn't be seen.
"- But madam, that is impossible." Came Mr Hill's voice from the classroom Lewis sneaked past.
"I can assure you, sir, Lewis is very gifted."
Lewis stopped.
They are talking about me.
He shushed the twins and waved them over to him.
"So you are taking Lewis to your school?" Mr Hill tried to hide the glee in his voice, and failed.
"It is not exactly a school, sir, it is a training centre. Mr Zetes would be very interested in him." A very formal sounding woman answered.
There was a pause.
"I thought Mr Zetes was some kind of mad scientist…?"
The twins grinned at each other.
The woman in the classroom laughed.
"I must be leaving now, sir, I do hope you think about my offer." There was the sound of a sliding chair and the clatter of heels on the tiled floor.
"Run." Dan mimed.
The three of them moved out of their crouches and ran the full length of the hall and out of the doors at the end.
None of them stopped until they reached Ben's car in the parking lot.
"Who – was – that – woman?" Dan gasped, doubled over.
"No idea." Lewis looked over his shoulder; he could have sworn he saw someone looking at him through the grimy school windows.
Little did Lewis know, he soon would know.
And there is another chapter! Lots of Lewis, he doesn't get enough action in the books ='(
Anyway I am not sure when the next chapter will be up, not for a while I think as I have two other fics I need to update first.
The next chapter is about Anne, as I said, and as I have an idea for her I would like your ideas about how Gabriel and Rob realised their powers, or how anyone found theirs really.
Enough of me.
Please review,
