My Alien Daughter Lin

Chapter 8

I drove to the school, I thought about how I was going to handle this. Lin was so smart, yet in many ways very child-like. She's in a whole different world, she does not understand the norms here. Hell I don't always understand them either, but poor Lin she wants everyone to play nice. This world isn't like that at all. Lin is so smart, but when it comes to social skills she has a lot to learn. Especially, if she wants to stay safe. I just don't know how I'm going to get us out of this mess. I arrived at the school parked, and walked up to the doors. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, but not from walking fast, which I was. I was so uptight I didn't know if i was going to be able to keep myself together. 

I reached the office. I saw the secretary, she stared at me. I'm sure by now the whole school thought we were equiviant to the Adams family or something close. 

"Mr Mathews will see you in here." she pointed to the room next to her.

I took a deep breathe and entered the room. Lin was sitting in a chair with her head down. 

"Please have a seat." Mr Mathews told me .

I sat next to Lin and put my arm around her.

"Lin was seen forcing our star quarter back into a chair. I sent my security gaurd out, and he couldn't get him freed. We don't understand how Lin was able to do this. And because of that we feel she poses a threat to this school. I told Lin that unless she tells us the truth we will need to call the police." he said firmly.

I was speachless, I had no answer. I felt fear creep in the pit of my stomach I felt sick. I looked at Lin hoping she would have some sort of answer that wouldn't freak everyone out. I racked my brain for some lame answer I could give.

"Now that just sounds silly, how could a little teenage girl force the star? Did you say star quarterback?"

"Yes." he frowned.

This was getting worse and worse. I took another big breathe, my stomach started spinning. Think..think. of something. I had my answer it all sounded ridiculous so I would play the ridiculous card. I was going in that direction anyway.

"Mr Mathews doesn't it seem strange to you that Lin this little teenager could force a big football star in a chair?" 

"Yes of course it does. However, she didn't physically do it, she has some sort of mind control she used against him." 

"Mind control. that just sounds crazy do you hear yourself." I told him.

"Ask your daughter, she's the one who claims she used her mind." he stated.

Oh no, this just went from worse to terrible.

"Lin honey." I giggled. "Are you using your mind energy again." I asked smiilng.

"Yes my energy mixed with matter." she told me.

"Yes Lin claims that she can use her mind to mix energy its so silly. I think its her power of suggestion its really harmless, but some people are very receptive to it kinda like a hypnotic thing." 

"Really." he frowned.

"Yes, now I will talk to her and I will make a rule she is never to use that again. I thought it was just a fun thing she like to get into, but  I see now how harmful it can be. I'm going to get her some real therapy and I can assure you this will never happen again. Right LIn?

"Yes Mother." Lin nodded.

"Lets just let this go, and I will have Lin write up an apology for the star quarterback um whats his name." 

"Brad." Mr Mathews said frusterated.

"So can we go now, and start over." I pleaded.

"I will let this go, but I will be watching you Lin. One more episode like that and I will call the police. Do you understand?" Mr Mathews said his voice was very harsh.
