Danielle. went up to the board and finished it, taking not much time. She worried that she'd gone a little too fast, but Mr. Davies seemed satisfied. She turned around to go back when Mr. Davies called her again. "Do this one, Danielle."
She turned and looked at the new problem. It looked simple enough. "Okay," she answered.
Halfway through the problem she dropped the marker she was using to write. We shouldn't be doing this yet! It's a college problem! "Uhhh... I can't do this," she stuttered.
"You were just fine..." Mr. Davies commented suspiciously.
"I... my older brother... uhhh... helps me with this stuff sometimes and... that's how I got that far. I'm stuck now," she mumbled.
"Okay then. Head back to your seat."
Danielle went back, her heart pounding. Does he know?
 
Gentle Voice said:
She rubbed his back " Oh, Oliver what am I do with you?," she asked.

Oliver jumped a little. He'd been focusing on not paying attention to Aoife that he'd forgotten Mike was there.


Dani sat back down next to Aoife, whose heart was pounding incredibly hard, her breathing too quick. She tried to control herself - what had just happened? Did Mr Davies know?
 
Is it too late for me to join?

Name: Dayton Sebring
Age: 16, same as everyone else...
Grace power: the gift of healing.
Character: A teenager with an abusive, drunken father, and a frightened mother, and a little sister. When his Dad comes home, he hides his Mom and little sibling, and has helped his Mom with a lot of pain. The downside to his ability, is that it saps his own strength when used on others, and he cannot use it on himself.
 
"Uh yeah, well, actually I'm late." Dayton read the labels on the doors quickly. "I'm suppose to be in math class." He took time to stop, and readjust his backpack. "I'm Dayton Sebring. You are...?"
 
" I'm Katie and you are all most there," she told him, with a smile " just go to your right and there you go," she told him.
 
"Thanks, see you around, Katie." Dayton grinned, and jogged over to his classroom. When he opened the door, he heard the desks squeak and felt the gazes of the others. Dayton slid into the seat next to Mike as quietly as he could.
 
Oliver shrugged her hand off. She didn't understand...he and Aoife had been happy together the year before; then they just drifted apart. It was uncomfortable.


Aoife bit her lip. "I hope he doesn't figure it out...but he'd never be able to figure out mine. Only Mr. Burns would," she added chuckling a little, thinking of the pop quiz on a time period they'd never studied and she got everything right. True, her mom had gotten mad when she told her about it (Mrs. Bergmann was always afraid people would find out about Aoife's Grace), but it had been worth it to see Mr. Burns' face.
