Story: The Legend Of The S.A.I.N.T.S - Season 1 - Episode 4

“Its not good for you to be absent-minded during lectures Philips”
It was Mrs Armstrong’s stern voice. Allen could not reply since he found no words for his fooly.
“Now you’re back from your daydream, can you answer the answer the question?”
Allen didn’t hear Mrs Armstrong’s question, and if said that the whole class would laugh him to scorn, which he loathed so much.
“Em…ma’am, i don’t think i know the answer” Allen replied feigning ignorance.
“Why, but that’s weird, partly everyone knows the ans, why you of all people?”
Mrs Armstrong knew that Allen didn’t know the question at first. Allen struggled with himself.
Then he spied Kimball writing something down on a piece of paper. Pretending to think deeply and by a slight bow of his head, he read the question clearly from Kimball’s note:
“What are three other tools used in programming apart from Javascripts?”
Straightening himself up confidently he answered correctly to the amazement of Mrs Armstrong who could have sworn that Allen didn’t hear the question at all. That was the reason why she had asked him the question in first place, she knew he was absent-minded during her teaching, but how he came about the answer she couldntt decipher, perhaps that cousin of his might have whispered it to him, she envied the two of late.
]”You were thinking about your classmates behaviour towards me right?”
He was startled, he always was whenever Kimball spoke his thoughts clearly as though she could read his inner thoughts.
“Yea, i was embarrassed” He replied.
They both sat on the low pavement of the school fountain at the lunch stand in the school’s cafeteria.
“You don’t have to be embarrassed, its always like that with them, you should know better”.
“You are not coming for the psychic lessons today, are you?”. Allen asked Kimball after a short silence.
“No, am always bored with the lessons”. Allen’s love and feeling for things beyond the human mind drove him to attend Stephen Shaw’s psychic lessons.
Though Grandpa wasn’t aware , he never hid it from Kimball and even invited her to join. At first she liked the lectures but recently he noticed that she seemed uninterested.
“Am not going either, i want to get home as early as possible” said Allen remembering of the legend Grandpa was to tell him when he would be back from school.
“Unlike you, any special treat at home?” She asked suspiciously.
