One very ordinary day Caitlin Day was walking to school all by herself. Ahead of her were a number of students from her school. They hadn't noticed her and she was happy enough to walk along unnoticed. Caitlin didn't seek the limelight nor was she especially popular with the "in" kids. That didn't bother her either. Many times she had seen so called friends backstab each other. She didn't need any of that. But there was one particular boy Caitlin thought was very special. He was kind to everyone, even to Caitlin. His name was Andrew.
Now Andrew was walking ahead of her and hadn't noticed her either. Caitlin watched enthralled with every move Andrew made. What she couldn't believe was how Andrew's "friends" were treating him. They were joking around and pushing him. The pushes got harder and faster and Caitlin could tell that Andrew wasn't liking it. All Caitlin could think about doing was running up and pushing them back. Why didn't Andrew defend himself? Why was he just taking it? Would Andrew get mad at her if she defended him?....She was just a girl after all.
Suddenly the tauting boys fell down like dominoes. Caitlin didn't see Andrew touch them. How did that happen? Caitlin thought it would be funny if the boys had fallen into the mud. Suddenly before her very eyes, Caitlin saw mud appear and the boys were in it. This caused Caitlinto begin to wonder about her thoughts. Were her thoughts coming true? Did she have the power to wish something into being? She tried something new. She wished Andrew would turn around and see her and wave. Guess what happened! He turned and waved. He had a funny look on his face like did you see that.
The two suddenly felt connected. They had a bond. Together they could do anything. From then on Caitlin and Andrew were best friencs and a crime catching team. They made their school and community a better place. They policed the neighborhood and school catching bullies and thieves and turning them into good citizens.
