A wee bit too small [closed]

Of course they didn't believe him, no one did. Sighing, he looked to the guy who'd asked how old he was. There was just one problem, was he supposed to tell them his true age or his current age? Well, true age it was. "I 16!" he exclaimed, holding out all ten fingers but looking at them with a puzzle look, he realized that he didn't have that many figures. Oh well.

...What? Michelle blinked when the kid proclaimed that he was sixteen - even thought he simply held out all of his fingers like he attempting to say that he was ten. Her eyes widen with surprise and shock, half wondering what to do. Did she believe his words...Or his fingers? He didn't look sixteen or anything like it. He could be joking around but the way that he looked puzzling at his fingers told her otherwise. She was left unsure until she finally took a deep breath and shook her head. "Okay...You are sixteen," she repeated slowly as if trying to convince herself. "Then...Why do you look like a kid? Is...Is it because of your power or something?" That was the only reason she could think of - it was because of his own power that he looked like this. Or somebody else's power but...She supposed that would be against the rules as she was rather sure using your power on another student was very frowned upon.
