Its October 13 class has started and Mrs. Crawford was handing out papers to the class and the kids were confused on what was going on ''what is this'' Sam asked with a questioning look on her face. ''This is an IQ test'' Mrs. Crawford responded ''well why didn't you tell us'' Jacob asked ''I didn't tell you because this IQ test is to test you with the things you already know and the test says you are now allowed to study for it'' ''really the test told you that'' Tyler said sarcastically ''no talk back Mr. Green'' Mrs. Crawford said sternly ''okay'' Tyler said putting his hands up in a surrender position. ''Okay with that finished'' Mrs. Crawford said looking up at her watch ''Class you have an hour and a half to finish this and begin'' Mrs. Crawford said with a beep of her watch.
5 Days after the IQ test
The class was just getting settled when a man in his mid-forties came in with a black trench coat, grey fedora and wearing black gloves he would have looked very ominous if it weren't for his small height he looked like an evil dwarf. ''Hello my name is Mr. Fisher and I have come here for the following children'' he just about to start reading the first name when Mrs. Crawford interrupted him ''um excuse me Mr. Fisher is it may I ask why you want the children?'' ''I need the children Mrs. Crawford because some of these students…. possess amazing talents'' he said the last part hesitantly like he was carefully picking out every word. ''Oh'' Mrs. Crawford said surprisingly ''May I continue'' he asked raising an eyebrow at Mrs. Crawford ''yes, yes you may'' ''thank you'' he said and returned to face the class ''I will be taking 10 of you to place similar to a boarding school where you will live together all 10 of you'' his voice had a thick English accent do it was hard to understand his words at times and then he stopped there, waiting for the class to process this new information.
The whole class was gasping some were nervous others excited. ''Alright that's enough'' Mr. Fisher shouted to the class to quiet them down '' I will read out the girls first and once I call your name come stand near me'' all the girls were dead quiet waiting for their names to be called after Mr. Fisher cleared his throat he continued '' Samantha Burke'' Samantha stood up from her chair and walked over to Mr. Fisher she could feel the eyes upon her as she walked up to Mr. Fisher ''Elizabeth Smith'' Lizzie walked up as well and stood beside Sam ''Ainsley Jackson, Clair Robinson and Jade Walker that is it for the girls''. The five girls stood near Mr. Fisher looking at the class with a look of nervousness/ interest.
''Okay I will now be calling the boys names'' all the boys look nervously at Mr. Fisher wondering who would be called first ''Jacob Miller'' Jacob stood up nervously and went to stand on the other side of Mr. Fisher ''Beau Young'' Beau walked up to stand beside Jacob ''Eric Hill, Tyler Green and Caleb Adams'' the last 3 boys walked up and near Mr. Fisher. Now that the names have been called the rest of the class relaxed. Mrs. Crawford turned away from Mr. Fisher and the ten students but before she did she looked at the students a look of terror before looking away. ''Now'' Mr. Fisher said turning to face the 10 students ''you children are very lucky that you have these special gifts'' ''um Mr. Fisher why did you pick us and why did you pick him'' Sam asked pointing a finger at Jacob with a look of confused/disgust ''you're one to talk Sam I mean have you seen yourself play soccer'' Jacob retorted ''you're an idiot you know that Jacob'' ''oh whatever at least I can make a goal'' ''enough'' Mr. Fisher said an a low but vicious whisper ''now let's take this conversation outside'' ''okay'' we all responded.
Now that they were outside they felt better after all being crammed in that small class room for 7 hours a day isn't a vacation.
''Okay children you are all going to go home tonight and pack up all your things and come at the bus stop tomorrow at 7:oo am'' ''seven, seven am! Tomorrow! Beau practically shouted ''and do you think you could stop calling us children I mean we all are in grade 9 you know'' Ainsley inferred. ''Enough! Mr. Fisher yelled you will all be here at 7:00am tomorrow with your suit cases in hand. Do I make myself clear! He shouted everyone went quiet ''yes Mr. Fisher'' we all whispered ''good'' he said straightening his trench coat ''Now does anyone have any more questions'' ''I do'' Sam said raising her hand ''okay child what is your question? ''my question is how long are we going to live there, what happens to our sports if we do sports after school, will we be able to visit our family and who's going to be sharing rooms with who ? ''Okay children I will tell, you all are going to be living there you for 4 years until you graduate high school to be precise, If you did do sports we will hire instructors so you can do them at your new home to, yes you may visit your family on holidays and the sleeping arrangements will be girls altogether and guys altogether is that understood'' ''yes'' Sam responded ''any other questions?'' Mr. Fisher asked raising an eyebrow ''oh I have one'' Clair said Mr. Fisher sighed ''alright child what is it'' ''do we have to wear school uniforms and if so do the girls have to wear skirts? ''yes you all have to wear school uniforms because you will be living at Oakwood house you will now be home schooled you will be going to the high school called St. Katherine's and yes the girls must wear skirts'' 'but couldn't we- ''no'' ''but-'' ''no I'm sorry Clair but there's no exceptions that is the dress code, do I make myself clear'' ''yes sir'' Clair said in defeat ''anymore questions? ''I have one'' Jacob asked ''what is it? ''how long is the bus ride there?
''Three hours'', now for the last time I hope are there any more questions.
''No? Good'' he said with relief in his voice then he turned on his heel walked a few paces away from the students and said ''Now all of you will be heading back to class also you 10 will be able to leave half an hour early so you can pack up'' with that he walked away and we went back into the building.
''So are you guys excited to go or what?'' Jacob asked while we walked down the hall ''excited how can you be excited I'm freaking out, I have to pack tell my friends and family I'm leaving them for 4 years can only visit them on holidays and I have to live with you'' Sam points a finger and disgusted look at Jacob ''believe me sharing a house with you- he points at Sam –is not what I wanted either but at least I'm away from my younger brother he's a pain in the neck. ''For once you actually are right I'm going to love it there since my big brother won't hassle me any more especially in the morning that is the worst'' ''how about you guys'' Sam points to the rest of the group ''what are you going to miss or not miss'' for a moment everyone was quiet. ''Not much I guess, I mean my mom and dad I'm going to miss but my sister no not really'' Lizzie responded ''Anyone'' Sam asks the groups just shakes their heads ''oh okay'' Sam says ''come on that whole Mr. Fisher thing took up a lot of time we only have an hour left before we need to pack and I'm guessing the whole school probably wants to know about us and what's happening'' ''yeah you're probably right'' Caleb commented ''well let's face this mob'' Clair whispered.
Ring!
The bell rung which means students will be switching classrooms to go to other classrooms and here it comes.
''Omg Jade what happened did he do something crazy'' Julie asked Jade while she was cleaning out her locker ''no not really he just talked and talked and talked a lot'' ''well at least nothing really bad happened'' ''yeah nothing bad'' then Jade closed her now clean locker staring straight at Julie her expression no longer joyful just sad ''I'm gonna miss you girl'' Jade said as she hugged Julie with her free arm ''me too, hope to talk to you soon and send me tons of pics…..of cute guys'' Jade laughing/pulling away ''I will goodbye'' she says as she turns away and throws her backpack over her shoulder.
