Friday Max had been avoiding his dad all day, when he got home the night before his mum had informed him that his dad had rang Jake and knew that he had lied about helping him study. So Friday morning he had woken up an hour earlier than usual and left the house before his dad woke up and now he was walking around school constantly on the look out for his dad.

“What's up with you today?” Zack asked him at Lunch,

“I'm hiding from my dad, he found out that I lied to him about studying with Jake yesterday” he explained nervously running his hand through his hair,

“How have you avoided him? Don't you have him for first period?” Rachel asked

“Yes, I told Mrs Harper that I would help her with the end of year certificates if she got me out of my class this morning” he explained, “Which is another thing that he will be upset about” Max groaned,

“Why don't you just tell him the truth?” Jenny suggested with a smile.

“He really doesn't like you Jen, he thinks your a distraction” he replied and Jenny looked sad, “he's an idiot, your perfect” Max informed her giving her a hug so she wasn't as upset.

“Why don't you say that you were helping me study yesterday, you can say that you got the names mixed up or something” Zack suggested and Max smiled,

“That's a great idea” he cheered happily.

Kelly was counting the minutes till the end off school, today had dragged and she found herself daydreaming during her last class. “Kelly Jones, The headmaster would like to see you” a voice called snapping her back to reality. “Kelly” her teacher called again holding a note, that another student had just delivered, in the air. “He wants to see you now” she informed passing her the note as she passed the desk and walked out of the class.

Kelly was so confused, she had never been called into the headmasters office. As she walked down the corridor she used her gift to connect to Zack's mind, he was mentally singing 'row row row your boat' which Kelly rudely interrupted with, “What did you do?”

“Kelly?” was his reply,

“Yes it's me now tell me what you did?” she snapped

“What are you talking about?” he thought and Kelly could tell he was confused,

“I have been called into the headmasters office. What have you done that has gotten me into trouble?” she accused,

“Nothing, I swear”

“Well why else would I be called for?”

“Maybe, you got an A instead of an A+ in a test” was Zack's witty reply,

“This isn't funny, I'm worried” Kelly admitted and Zack instantly stopped teasing,

“Don't worry it will be nothing. Keep me informed” Zack said and Kelly agreed before disconnecting from him as she arrived at the headmasters office.

Kelly knocked on the door twice and heard a “come in” before she opened the door revealing the headmaster sitting at his large desk, with a pile of folders on one side and a computer the other. Sitting on two seats in front of the desk were a man and woman dressed in suits.
