Here is a small recap of what has happened previously. Bryn Breitbart, Emma Ross' enemy set the old penthouse on fire, completely destroying it. The Rosses then purchased a house in California, where they would audition for a school for prodigies. Emma is a fashion prodigy, Luke is a dancing prodigy, Ravi is a science prodigy and Zuri is a chess prodigy. Here is a story of their life at the new school, Webster High.
"OMG! This house is totes amaze!" Emma Ross squealed, entering their new house in California.
"I know, it`s perfect!" Luke Ross smiled.
"Jessie, unpack my bags, I have a private playground to play in!" Zuri Ross exclaimed, thrusting her bags into Jessie`s arms.
"I`m glad you all like it!" Jessie Prescott laughed. Bertram Winkle groaned as he entered.
"Do you know how heavy all these new suits are?" He moaned. Jessie took hold of them.
"Light as a feather." She exclaimed, throwing them back at Bertram, who trudged upstairs to unpack, followed by the kids and Jessie.
The next day, the children auditioned for places in the school for prodigies, Webster High. Each Ross got accepted for their individual talents. Luke was a dancer, Emma was a fashion designer, Ravi was a scientist and Zuri was chess player. They would start at Webster High the coming Monday.
After a slow weekend, Monday arrived, and the Ross children would start at their new school. Being a fashion prodigy, Emma wanted to look her best. She picked out a white knee-length floral skirt alongside a pink top with ruffled sleeves that fell half way between her elbow and shoulder with a pair of white ballet pumps. Luke chose a long sleeved blue checked shirt with jeans and high-tops, Zuri wore a purple stripy T-shirt with a purple glittery heart on it with a black tutu and pink sparkly trainer-pumps, while Ravi wore a long sleeved orange top with jeans and socks with sandles. The Ross kids strolled downstairs confidently and ate their breakfast of croissants, prepared by Bertram. Then Emma and Zuri did their hair. Emma curled hers and put the sides back and Zuri put hers into pigtails. Then Emma did her make-up. The children cleaned their teeth and gathered up their new, ready-packed school bags ready to get on the bus. The bus showed up, and the Rosses boarded it.
"Bye kids, have a great day!" Jessie called, as the kids got on the bus that stopped right outside of their house. The kids got on the already full bus and stood towards the front. They waved at Jessie, who waved back at them. Emma pulled out her phone and began texting Rosie.
"Hey!" A girl, who was sitting behind where Luke was standing called. Luke turned back, startled.
"What?" Luke said.
"There`s a seat here." She said, moving her bag for Luke to sit down.
"Cool, thanks." He exclaimed. "I`m Luke Ross."
"I`m Chyna Parks." The girl, Chyna, said. Luke and Chyna shook hands.
"So, where do I go to enrol myself?" Luke asked his new friend Chyna.
"So you`re new here? Don`t worry, just follow me." Chyna smiled.
"Okay." Said Luke, as the bus pulled into Webster High, and the students flooded off the bus. Chyna took Luke down to where he had to enrol. Zuri, Ravi and Emma casually followed, as they all made their way to Principal Susan Skidmore`s office.
"Ugh, more ANTs!" She said, with an evil tone.
"Um, yeah, I`m Luke Ross." Luke said.
"I don`t care! You`re the dancing prodigy though, right?"
"Yeah." Luke said.
"Okay, and you guys must be Emma Ross, Zuri Ross and Ravi Ross, the fashion, chess and science prodigies?" Principal Skidmore asked.
"Yes." Emma, Ravi and Zuri chorused.
"Welcome to Webster High." Principal Skidmore said, pretending to sound happy.
"Thank you Principal Skidmore, we are delighted to be attending such a fantastic school!" Ravi smiled.
"Whatever! Get out, all of you!" Principal Skidmore scowled, so the Rosses and Chyna left her office.
"You`ll get used to that!" Chyna laughed.
"Where do we go now?" Zuri asked.
"To the ANT Farm." Chyna exclaimed.
"Great! So we`ve got a principal with no fashion sense and a room full of bugs!" Emma said sadly.
"No, ANT stands for Advanced Natural Talents." Chyna giggled.
"Phew!" Emma sighed. Chyna lead the Rosses to a room with a music booth, a computer, a sofa and other equipment.
"Welcome to the ANT Farm!" Chyna smiled.
"Hey, Chyna that`s my job!" A guy with afro hair said.
"Sorry Gibson." Chyna said.
"Welcome to the ANT Farm! I love doing that!" The guy, Gibson said, as a girl with long blonde hair mimicked him, causing everyone to laugh.
"Guys, this is Olive!, my best friend." Chyna said.
"CREEPY CONNIE!" Luke yelled, screaming and running out of the ANT Farm.
"Nice to meet you too!" Olive said, sarcastically.
"Don`t mind him. Luke has a past with a girl who looks a lot like you." Emma said. Olive nodded her head.
"So Olive, what`s your talent?" Zuri asked.
"I have an eidetic memory, meaning that I remember everything." Olive explained.
"Is that a gift or a curse?" Emma asked, confused.
"Both." Olive said.
"Well, what about you guys, what are your talents?" Chyna asked, smiling.
"I`m a fashion prodigy." Emma exclaimed.
"I`m a chess prodigy." Zuri smiled.
"Luke`s a dancing prodigy and I`m a science prodigy." Ravi said. Olive`s eyes lit up.
"No way, I love science!" I squealed. Then Olive and Ravi got talking about some stuff that no-one understood.
"So, when does class start?" Luke said.
"Soon." Chyna answered. "But you`ve got to go early, otherwise the older kids will bombard you." Chyna warned. "By the way, how old are you Emma?" Chyna asked.
"15." Emma replied.
"Oh, in that case you`ll be in room 7." Chyna said.
"Okay." Emma said, making her way there.
"Um, excuse me, am I in the right place." Emma asked.
"Depends are you looking for room 7?" A blonde girl, who was sitting on a table asked.
"Yeah." Emma said, sitting down.
"I`m Lexi Reed." The girl sitting on a table introduced herself.
"Hi." Emma said.
"I`m...I`m" A girl started, looking confused.
"Paisley Houndstooth." Lexi said, bluntly.
"No, that`s not it" The dumb girl said.
"Anyway, what`s with the cheerleading outfits." Emma asked, joining the girls.
"We`re cheerleaders. The cheerleaders get a separate classroom than everyone else. Personally, I have no idea why you`re here. What`s your talent?" Lexi asked.
"I`m a fashion designer." Emma said.
"You`re here to design new uniforms for us!" Lexi said excitedly. Loads of different girls began throwing ideas at Emma for new cheerleading uniforms.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Emma yelled, pulling out her notebooks. "Tell me your ideas one by one."
The cheerleaders gave all different kinds of ideas.
"When do we want the new uniforms for?" Emma asked.
"Whenever you can have them ready for." Lexi said.
"Okay, I`ll make them on one condition." Emma exclaimed.
"What is it?" Lexi asked.
"Can I try out for the squad?" Emma asked excitedly.
"Sure. Come to the gym at lunch." Lexi said.
"Okay." Emma said, and the bell rang.
Emma showed up at the gym in her PE uniform at lunchtime for her audition for the cheerleading squad. Lexi decided she was perfect for the team, so gave her a spot on the squad. An excited Emma made her way to the ANT Farm to tell her siblings and new friends. By this point, Luke and Olive had solved the Creepy Connie situation.
"Luke, Zuri, Ravi, Chyna, Olive!" Emma said excitedly.
"What?" They all said.
"Well, I tried out for the cheerleading squad, and I got a spot!" Emma squealed excitedly.
"What?" Chyna and Olive, chorused sounding concern.
"I`m on the cheerleading squad!" Emma said.
"With Lexi Reed?" Olive asked.
"Yeah, she`s really nice." Emma exclaimed.
"No, she`s not! She`s horrible to us ANTs!" Olive exclaimed, sounding horrified.
"Oh." Emma said.
"What`s going on?" A boy, who`d been painting, said.
"Emma here made friends with Lexi." Chyna sighed. The boy looked over at Emma wide eyed.
"Hey." He said sounding flirty. "I`m Fletcher Quimby, the art prodigy." He said. Chyna and Olive laughed at his failed attempt to impress Emma.
"Hi, great to meet you,and I love your painting, but I`ve got to go." Emma said, running out of the ANT Farm. Zurisat down to eat her lunch next to a girl with curly brown hair and glasses.
"I`m Zuri." She said.
"I`m Arielle." The girl Zuri was at with introduced herself.
"Are you new here?" Zuri asked her.
"Yeah. It`s huge here. And I`m only 8!" Arielle said.
"Me too! What`s your talent?" Zuri asked the girl.
"I`m an English prodigy." Arielle said.
"So, you write books?" Zuri asked Arielle.
"Actually, my speciality is poetry." Arielle smiled. "What`s your talent?"
"Chess." Zuri said.
"Cool! I`ve really wanted to be good at chess!" Arielle said, jealously.
"I`ve always wanted to be good at English!" Zuri laughed.
"Wel then, lets teach each other what we know!" Arielle smiled. Zuri and her new friend Arielle began teaching each other about their talents, meanwhile, Luke followed Emma back to her classroom, to meet her cheerleader friends.
"Emma." He said, peering into the room.
"What do you want Luke?" Emma asked.
"Can I meet your new friends?" Luke asked. Then Emma realised what he was up to.
"So you can flirt with them?" Emma asked.
"What? No...I...I -" Luke began, but Lexi cut him off.
"I`ve got this Emma." She said.
"Go away you stupid ANT!" She yelled, pushing Luke out of the classroom. Luke ran back to the ANT Farm to join Chyna.
"I can confirm how mean that Lexi Reed girl is!" Luke exclaimed.
"I did warn you!" Chyna laughed, rubbing Luke`s arm.
"I mean, she`s hot, but mean!" Luke said dreamily.
"I know! Your sister Emma`s hot, but way out of my league." Fletcher said. Luke looked at him funny, as the bell went for class. The ANTs had music. They were working on vocals, so Chyna was asked to sing for the class. She performed her song Stars Aligning, and Luke was thoroughly amazed by her performance. At the end, when Chyna sat down next to him again, he praised her.
"You`re such a great singer." He said.
"Thanks! I was nervous about singing in front of you for the first time, in case you didn`t like it." Chyna exclaimed.
"Well, I loved it!" Luke smiled. Then the class had PE. They were working on dance, so Luke was asked to give a short demonstration. Luke performed some quite technical moves before sitting down next to Chyna again.
"You`re a fantastic dancer Luke!" Chyna said, impressed.
"Thanks! I know what you mean about being nervous, because I was nervous you thought I`d stink!" Luke laughed.
"You didn`t stink, you were brilliant." Chyna said. After PE, it was home time. Emma, Luke, Ravi, Zuri and Chyna all got on the bus. One of Emma`s cheerleader friends got the bus, so Emma sat with her while Ravi and Zuri sat next to each other and Luke and Chyna were next to each other. Soon, the Rosses got off the bus at their house, saying good bye to their friends and a huge hello to Jessie and Bertram. Bertram had prepared a lovely snack for the kids, and then the kids went up to their yet-to-be-decorated rooms to get on with their own little thing. Ravi performed some science experiment and fed Mrs Kipling, Emma designed the new cheerleading uniform, Zuri texted Arielle and Luke video called Chyna. After dinner of fish and chips, the kids did their homework, watched TV and went to bed, ready for another day at Webster High tomorrow. Each child hoped that their new friends wouldn`t find out about the fire destroying their old home, and that their father had just been discharged from hospital. Luckily, he was alright, but working on a new movie. If their new friends found out, would they be judgmental. Would anybody else find out, leading for them to get bullied? The possibilities were infinite, for they had know idea what their new school was like, and people in it reacted to certain circumstances.
