It is the second week of the new school year. Both sets of Adams Foster twins are in the first grade. Jesus and Yvette's youngest set of twins are in first as well. The oldest set of twins are in fourth grade and the middle twins are in fourth as well. Their quads are in their second year of middle school.
Andrew Reynolds gave the kids their spelling tests back and Lafayette and Alexandra stared down in complete horror at the zeros they each got on their tests. The twins eyed each other as they put their tests away in their backpacks and went to recess.
"Lafayette, what are we going to do?" Alexandra cried out. The older twin sighed and stayed silent. They never had a bad grade before and they both figured their moms' would be upset and mad.
"We can't tell them, Lafayette. Please. I don't want to get in trouble," Alexandra added.
"Yeah I know, I don't either," Lafayette replied. Just then, James and Janelle ran over to join them and the older twins sensed something was wrong. James eyed his best friend.
"What's wrong?" James asked Lafayette and Alexandra. The girls' both sighed and opened their backpacks and showed both James and Janelle their bad spelling tests.
"We can't show our mama and mommy," Alexandra added. "They will be so mad and upset."
"I don't think so," James added. "They are cool."
"I tend to agree with Lafayette and Alexandra," Janelle added. "I got a zero on my spelling test last year and mom got her belt and called me stupid."
"What? Why didn't you tell daddy and papa?" James asked.
"I was scared," Janelle added. "So that is why I can understand."
"What do we do?" the twin girls asked. Janelle smiled.
"Leave it to me," Janelle added. "Do they need to be signed?"
"Yeah," the twin girls added as Janelle took the tests and forged Callie's signature. James and the girl twins eyes went wide.
"Um, isn't that wrong?" James asked.
"Yeah, but it is better than getting in trouble," Janelle added as the twin girls' nodded and put their tests back in their backpacks as Callie showed up.
"Hi kids," Callie added. The twins girls' smiled.
"Hi mama," the twins added.
"Hi Mrs. Adams Foster," James and Janelle added.
"Hi how is the fourth grade?" Callie asked.
"Great," James added. "The work is a little boring."
"How so?" Callie asked.
"Just easy," he added. Janelle nodded.
"Same for me," Janelle added. "Boring and easy."
Callie nodded and knew what she had to do. She called her mama and Lena agreed and they assessed James and Janelle and they would be put in Callie's class.
Jacob and Jason Stewart Owens walked into Lena Adams Foster's office. The two dads' looked scared. "What's going on?" Jacob asked.
Callie spoke up. "We want to put James and Janelle in my fourth grade class."
"Really?" they asked. "Why?"
"James and Janelle have expressed concern that the work in their class is boring and easy," Callie added. "We think if they stay in their old class, it will be their undoing."
"So in the advanced fourth grade?" they asked.
"Yes," Callie added. "It is in their best interests."
