A/N: I do not own the Private series. I do own the characters, however. Please R/R to let me know if ya'll like it.
Out of the fire and into the fire again
You make me want to forget
And start all over
Here it comes straight out of my mind or worse
Another chance to get burned
And start all over
I'm gonna start all over.

It was a beautiful August day in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Sarah Elizabeth Justice (Sarah-Beth for short) was behind her parents' beach house sunbathing with her fourteen year old sister, Lindy Shae. This next school year is going to be awesome, Sarah-Beth thought to herself. She was going to be a Junior at Central Christian School in Robertsdale, Alabama, a city just inland from Gulf Shores. Sarah-Beth looked over at her younger sister, "What do you have planned for the rest of the day?"
"Just lay here. I need a great suntan before school starts," Lindy Shae, responded.
"Sounds good to me. But you already have a suntan."
"Can't hurt can it?"
"I guess not."
The two girls heard someone running up the beach. "That's probably Jeremy on his way back from Sea and Suds." Sea and Suds was a local teen hangout about a mile up the beach from them. Sure enough Jeremy came up the sand dune.
"What are my two beautiful sisters up to today? Sunbathing again? Don't ya'll do that enough?"
Lindy Shae and Sarah-Beth look at each other and just giggle. "A girl can never sunbathe too much," Sarah-Beth said as she tossed sand in her brother's direction.
"Hey now, you're going to take out my eye."
Meanwhile… in the house.
"Sadie, I don't know if we should send them to boarding school. They're good kids," Jackson Justice was trying to plead with his wife, to change her mind on sending his prides and joys off to Connecticut.
"I feel like they would be better off at an exclusive private school, not this rinky dink of a private school you graduated from." Sadie was getting furious with her husband. Why doesn't he understand? I want my children to have a privileged life as adults. Sadie was use to life of glamour and money, and then she met Jackson at Yale. She fell head-over-heels in love with him. He did not come from a super rich family. They had money but not as much as Sadie's family did.
"I just do not understand why you think my school is rinky dink. I turned out fine. I'm a successful golfer. All you do is party, party, party. And you spend money like it's going out of style."
"Someone's gotta buy stuff for this hellish house."
"Whatever. You're telling the kids. I don't want them to hate me." Jackson walked out to the front yard.
"Here goes nothing." Sadie said to herself as she walked out of the back door and went down the stairs. She could see her three beautiful children having fun in the sand. "Hey, guys. I need to talk to ya'll about something."
"What is it, mom?" Jeremy asked looking worried.
"Your father and I have decided to send ya'll to the best, most exclusive private high school in the country."
"Cool! Where is it? Here in Baldwin County?" Lindy Shae asked.
"No."
"Then, where is it?" Sarah-Beth asked thinking about how she loved this beach and wanted to go to no other school. She wanted to stay at Central Christian. All of her friends were here. Why was her mother doing this?
"Easton Academy in Easton, Connecticut."
So what do ya'll think so far. I know it's not much, but the education department in college waits for no one… not even me . Don't forget to read and review please
