It's now 1:00 and the kids are doing ok. Tori made friends with two girls in her class. Lily Polarina Kale and Persephone Carla DeWitt. Anna started making friends with one girl in her class. Aria Jill Campbell. Zac made two friends. Jackson Milo Gordon and Harry Franklin Sawyer. The kids just came in from their afternoon recess and are settling down for math. Zac sits between Jackson and Harry while Anna sits next to Aria. The math lesson starts and Mrs. Paladino puts 8+7 on the board. "Can anybody tell me what eight plus seven equals?" Anna raises her hand right away. "Anna?"

"Fifteen."

"Very good. Now how did you know that?"

"My Mommy. She teaches me. She's a math genius."

"Well ok. I'm glad you learn from her. I believe you will do VERY well in our future math lessons."

The class started laughing and Zac did nothing to defend his sister. Aria on the other hand was getting angry at them. "Geek." "Nerd." "Brainiac." "Einsteinette." Were all being said to her and she started crying.

She got up and ran across the hall. "Tori!" She yelled through her tears.

Tori looked towards the classroom door and got up to hug Anna. "What is it, Baby Sister? What's wrong? I thought you were having fun all day since you didn't come to get me earlier."

Anna hugged her sister tight still crying. "I was having fun. I made one friend. But we just started our math lesson and Mrs. Paladino asked if any of us knew what eight plus seven equals. I raised my hand and told her. Everyone started laughing at me and started calling me mean names. Aria was getting angry, but Zac didn't do anything to defend me. And he knows I smart. Zac even called me a nerd."

"Oh, Anna." Tori replied and hugged her.

She cried harder. "I wanna go home."

"We can't. Mommy and Daddy are in school too."

"I wanna go HOME!"

Tori sighed and walked up to the teacher. "Mrs. Brown?"

"Yes, My Dear?"

"Can I call my parents? Anna won't go back to class. I can't convince her, but I think they might be able to."

"Sure." She replied and handed her the phone.

Tori sat it on the floor as it was heavy then dialed Gabby's cell.

Gabriella was in her last class of the day when she felt her phone vibrate continuously. She looked at the caller ID and recognized it as her childrens' school. She looks up at her professor and raises her hand. "Professor Baselink?"

He turns around. "Yes, Mrs. Bolton?"

"My childrens' school is calling me."

"Go ahead. Take your stuff and leave too since class is almost over."

"Thank you, Sir." She replied and gathered her stuff as she answered the phone and walked out. "Hello? This is Gabriella Bolton."

"Mommy?"

"Tori? What is it, Angel?"

"It's Anna. She never came to get me all day until just a few minutes ago. She's crying and wants to come home. I tried to convince her to go back to class, but she won't listen."

"Let me talk to her."

Tori hands the phone to Anna. "It's Mommy. She wants to talk to you."

Anna takes the phone. "Mommy?"

"Hey, Sweetheart. What's the matter? Why you crying?"

"I was having fun all day and made one friend. We just came in from our afternoon recess and started our math lesson."

"Ok. So what's the problem?"

"Mrs. Paladino asked if any of us knew what eight plus seven equals and I raised my hand and told her. Everyone laughed at me and started calling me mean names. Aria was getting angry. Zac knows I smart, but he didn't do anything to defend me and called me a nerd."

"Zac did what?!"

"He called me a nerd."

"Ok, Baby Girl. I'll get Daddy and we'll be right there."

"Ok." She replied and hung up. She looked at her older sister. "She said she's getting Daddy and they come here."

"Ok. You wanna stay here until they get here or go back to class?"

"Go back to class."

"Ok. I'll walk you over."

Anna nodded and hugged her while Tori walked her back to class. Aria saw them and got up to hug her. "Anna!"

"Aria!" Anna said and hugged her new friend back.

"You ok? I yelled at Zac. He's supposed to defend you being he's your brother."

"Thanks, Aria. And I will be. I think Zac's in trouble now because of it."

"Ok. Who's this?"

"My older sister Tori. Tori, this is my friend Aria."

"Nice to meet you, Aria." Tori said to the girl.

"Nice to meet you too. Anna talked about you all day. All good of course."

"Ok. Our Mommy and Daddy are on their way here, so you'll get to meet them."

"Ok. I take care of Anna until they get here."

"Thanks." Tori replied and turned to give Anna a kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you later, Anna. I love you."

"I love you too, Tori." She replied and Tori went back to class.
