It started as a normal day in the Baker house. The 10 Bakers that still lived at home were sitting down to breakfast. "Nigel, Kyle, stop throwing toast, Sarah and Jake stop arm wrestling and eat" Kate was trying to calm her kids down. "but mom I'm winning!" Jake whined. "LORRAINE! COME DOWN AND EAT BREAKFAST BEFORE ITS ALL GONE!" Kate shouted up the stairs, ignoring his kids whines. She turned around. "Kim, spell independence" Kate demanded, Kim and Jessica were competing in the spelling bee and had been practicing words for a while. "Independence, I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-C-E, Independence" Kim stated. "Good, Jessica spell responsibility" Kate said, pulling her other kids away from each other. "Responsibility, R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y, Responsibility" Jessica stated. "Good, Kim spell..." Kate was cut off. "EW MOM THE TWINS JUST THREW FOOD AT ME!" Lorraine shouted. "NIGEL, KYLE, STOP! Everyone upstairs get your stuff ready for school!" Kate demanded. Kim and Jessica were up first. "Jessica and Kim we have to review a little more" Kate said. They sat back down. Everyone else stormed upstairs. "Kim spell attentive" Kate said. "Attentive, A-T-T-E-N-T-I-V-E, Attentive" Kim said. "okay last one, Jessica, spell catering" Kate said. "Catering, C-A-T-E-R-I-N-G, Catering" Jessica said. "Okay go get ready now" Kate said. Jessica and Kim ran upstairs. Tom came up behind Kate. "When should we tell them?" he asked. "Do we have to?" Kate asked. "don't they have the right to know?" Tom asked. "I guess your right." Kate said. The kids ran downstairs. "Kids! Your father and I need to talk to you after school so come right home" Kate said. The kids nodded their heads and said goodbye to their parents.
After school all the kids were sitting in the livingroom. "Alright quiet!" Tom shouted. The kid's quieted down. "Look this is big news so I dont want yelling or shouting or anything until AFTER!" Tom shouted. The kids nodded unsurely. "We are no longer going to be the 12 Bakers" Kate said. The kids screamed in protest. "you can't put us up for adoption!!" "QUIET!" Tom shouted. "We're not putting anyone up for adoption" Kate said. Kate smiled, it calmed the kids down a little. "Look we've thought about this a lot and we've decided that next year your all going to different schools" Tom told them. "We're moving again?" Jake asked. "no" Tom told his son. "We're sending Lorraine, Sarah, Jessica, and Kim to an all girls school and we're sending Henry, Jake, Mark, Mike, Nigel, and Kyle to an all boys school" Kate explained. "WHAT?!" the kids shouted. "It's best for your education, you all need some help with manners too and the education is wonderful, nobody that goes to those schools ever comes out bad, everyone that comes out of that school has a good paying job and a good happy life" Tom said. Kate and Tom smiled at their children trying to get them to like the idea. "I'm not going" Sarah said. "That's not up to you Sarah" Tom said. Jake and Mike each took one of Sarah's hands. "you can't seperate us!" Mike and Jake shouted at their parents. "It's only for the school year guys becides you'll all be home for the weekends!" Tom said. The kids stormed out. "I hate you!" Mike turned around and said.
Three weeks later the school year had ended. The kids moaped around the house and refused to speak to their parents. In less than three months the girls and boys would be sepereated. Jake, Mike, and Sarah spent every minute together. Kim and Jessica came up to Sarah one day. "I think we should pull a prank against mom and daddy" Kim said. "It wont do any good, it'll just give them more reason to send us off" Sarah said sadly. "Sarah you love pranking people, whats going on?" Jessica asked. "We can't stop them, pranks dont work on parents only on strangers or stupid people we dont like" Sarah explained. Jessica and Kim walked away. Jake and Mike came back by Sarah. "Sarah come on come swimming with us" Jake said, pulling Sarah's left hand. "Yeah we'll have fun!" Mike said, pulling Sarah's right hand. Sarah sat there, not influenced by her favorite brothers. Mike looked at Jake and Jake looked at Mike. "Something's wrong with her" Jake said. Mike smiled and Jake smiled back. Jake picked Sarah up and threw her over his shoulder. Sarah became alive then. "Oh my God Jake put me down!" she screamed, kicking and pushing on his shoulder. "Ouch, Mike help me out here before she destroys me!" Jake shouted. Mike grabbed Sarah's feet. Together, they threw her into the pool. They were laughing when she popped up. "you're both dead!" she shouted, but she wasn't smiling. In fact, she had fire in her eyes. She jumped out of the pool and ran into the house. She threw her wet clothes into the washer and changed into dry clothes. She sat on her bed, fumming. Jake and Mike walked in. "WHAT?!" she asked. "We're sorry Sarah" Jake said. Sarah ignored him. Both boys walked out and Sarah started crying quietly.
Now, Sarah doesn't cry a lot. She was crying because she was being seperated from her two favorite siblings, from all of her male siblings, from her parents, and from Nora and Charlie. She was crying because she didn't want to go somewhere new, she didnt want to have to make new friends and she certainly didnt want to leave the Baker house. Jake and Mike walked back into the room with something they knew Sarah would love: a scrapbook the three of them made together. They dropped the book when they saw Sarah crying and they both rushed to her side. They stopped next to her bed and nobody talked. Jake and Mike climbed into Sarah's bed and the three of them fell asleep.
To the Baker kids, summer went by fast, and soon they were school shopping and packing to leave for they're new home. For the girls it was Saint Josephines School for Proper Young Ladies and for the boys it was Saint Lawrences School for Proper Young Gentlemen. Mission statement saying: The purpose of this school is to further educate young adults in things they need for the proper work place and manners they need to better their appearance...AKA to proper for the Bakers.
