John disobeys, sneaks out of his house, and goes to a nearby forest where he finds that he is able to throw large rocks at supersonic speeds, run faster than he ever could before, and survive long falls with ease. As these powers grow, John will become more powerful but, in order to maintain a low profile, Henri forbids John from using these powers. Henri, alerted by a Loric box that he has kept, comes to John and explains that the glowing is the awakening of John's 'legacies'. He runs from the classroom and into a janitorial closet to soak his hands in water to calm the burning. The next day, while John is being bothered by Mark during a film in one of his classes, John's hands begin to glow and burn brightly, similar to the glow on his leg in the ocean, and he sweats profusely. At the same time back in Florida, the Mogadorians discover the burnt wreck of Henri and John's old home and determine that John was not killed in the fire. As he views the site, it is erased by Henri. It contains pictures of many of the people of Paradise, including a section dedicated to him. That night at home, John discovers a website run by Sarah. After this, John notices Sarah taking an interest in him, as she's taking pictures of him from a distance. John helps Sam up and throws the ball back with enough force to knock Mark's friend to the ground. Later that day at lunch, John befriends Sam when one of Mark's friends throws a football at Sam's head, knocking him to the ground.

John retrieves it and gives it back to the boy, whose name is Sam Goode. As Mark walks away, John watches him slam another boy into the lockers and throw the boy's skateboard away. As Sarah walks away, a guy walks up to John with a couple of his friends and introduces himself as Mark James. At this time, John falls for the girl, who is an amateur photographer named Sarah Hart. After John is given his schedule and the girl is let off by the principal, the girl is asked by the secretary to guide John to his locker and first class. While waiting, he sees a girl being scolded by a teacher in the principal's office. On his first day there, John goes to the office to receive his class schedule. The following morning, at John's insistence, Henri allows John to go to the local high school rather than be home schooled. He decides to name the dog Bernie Kosar (after Cleveland Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar). That night, Henri and John hear a noise outside and, upon investigation, find the dog, who is then brought inside by John. As night falls, the lizard transforms into a dog. John and Henri arrive in Paradise and begin settling into their new home. A small lizard is able to crawl in along with their belongings. When the video and pictures surface on the internet, Henri deletes them all, gathers up his and John's belongings, and decides to move to an old farm in Paradise, Ohio. The girl and the other people on the beach, who record the event happening in the ocean, run from John. He suffers sharp pain, his leg begins to glow, and he sees a vision of Number Three warning him of the coming danger. John becomes aware that he is next while swimming in the ocean with a girl. The Loric Garde can only be killed in sequence Number One through Number Nine. The Mogadorians, led by the Commander, learn about the nine children and come to Earth to find them. Together, they live in a beach-side bungalow in Florida. Here, John is protected by a CГЄpan, or guardian, Henri. He was sent to Earth as a child with eight others to escape the invading Mogadorians, who destroyed Lorien. John Smith is an alien from the planet Lorien.
