Chapter 12 - Experiencing a chaotic first day of school at an elite Manhattan academy as four identical brothers confuse their new teachers.
The morning sun illuminated the steps of the prestigious St. Jude Academy as four identical boys stepped out of a sedan.
Dressed in matching navy blazers and plaid ties, Leo, Toby, Sam, and Ben walked hand in hand up the front steps.
Teachers and administrators stood at the entrance, holding attendance clipboards and looking utterly bewildered by the identical quadruplets.
"Which one of you is Leo Sterling?" the principal asked, adjusting her reading glasses with a soft, nervous chuckle.
All four boys giggled in unison, raising their hands simultaneously and winking at each other in a coordinated prank.
Julian and Maya stood by the car, watching the scene unfold with genuine laughter warming their hearts for the first time.
"They're going to completely run that school by lunchtime," Julian joked, wrapping his arm casually around Maya’s shoulders.
Maya didn't pull away, letting the warmth of his presence reassure her that her children were finally safe and loved.
