The Pevensie boys were a nightmare, every teacher in the school agreed. There was nothing wrong, exactly, but they just acted so different from every other boy that had passed through the school hall, that they didn't know how to handle them.
Peter did just not act his age at all. He seemed to know so much and he knew the answer to everything and every teacher suspected that he could easily take over any class and teach it better than them.
Edmund was a mystery. It never seemed like he was paying any attention in class, his expression always one of boredom. But when asked a question he could answer it without trouble. Even if the answer was given in a bored, droll tone of voice. He seemed complete and utter bored and the teachers were thinking of letting him skip a grade.
Lucas was a delight to have in any class. The teachers loved him, but yet there was something undefinable about him. In history he got a lot of the questions wrong, but his answers was so detailed the history teacher wondered what Lucas was actually talking about. Sometimes they wondered if he wasn't a little... touched in the head, but he always snapped out of it and his answers became perfect again.
The only one of the four even close to being normal was Samuel. He was attentive in class, had perfect manners and every boy at school adored him. But sometimes his eyes would go dark and his voice would get sharp and you could see something else there... In a blink it was gone though, and he was back to being his charming popular self.
At the start of each term a loud groan was heard from who ever teacher got them in math and English. It was completely useless to teach these boys Math, as any math teacher in this school would tell you. No matter how hard the lesson where they answered it with no trouble in no time. The only teacher who didn't complain was the P.E teacher who always said that no one could run like the Pevensie boys. If he only could convince them to join the rugby team!
