The next day

Kayley stood up early and went outside for a run. At the moment she stepped out of the school she found Connor sitting on the porch. Why did he have to be such a jerk. Okay, I'll take the first step to be nice.

Kayley : Hi

Connor : Hello

She took the seat next to him.

Connor : how are your bruises?

Kayley : fine, the pain calmed down, I am a quick healer. Anyway, I don't want to hate you, can't we just be friends? It's not like we have a choice here as the first two students. You can't avoid me.

Connor : okay, I'll try.

Kayley : okay, I am going for a run, like to join me, if you can keep up with me. She looked at him with sarcastic smile on her face.

Connor: I will keep up with you.

Peter went to the dorms to see if the two students already woke up. He saw two empty dorms. He knew that Kayley would probably went for a run so he started to walk to the beach. When he arrived at the beach he saw Connor and Kayley running toward him.

Kayley : Hey, is breakfast ready? I am starved. I had some real competition this time. She grinned at Peter. Peter knew he wasn't much of a competition to her, but was also impressed that Connor could keep up with her.

Connor : yeah I am starved too, let's go inside.

They walked inside the canteen finding the table already set with food and Sophie sitting on one of the chairs. They ate quietly.

When they finished Peter started to talk.

Peter : we have group in 30 minutes, you two go and fresh yourself up, and I see you in the lounge. They both went to their dorms to take a shower.


Peter : I think they worked everything out.

Sophie : What did they do?

Peter : I saw them running together, he even could keep up with Kayley , and I couldn't even do that. We have two good athletes in here.

Sophie :Have you found out the problem of Connor yet?

Peter : no I haven't but he has a lot of anger in him. We have to get that out.

Sophie : I know you will. She kissed him and went to clean up.

"Group"

They were sitting in a small circle.

Peter : Okay , in these sessions, we call group we are going to have it about our feelings and to express yourself. Let's begin and say why you think your here. Kayley.

Kayley : my mother hates me so she send me as far away as possible.

Peter : that will do for now, your turn Connor.

Connor : My dad send me. I got into some problems.

Peter : okay , lets do something different finish this sentence. I am ........ Connor?

Connor : confused

Peter : Kayley ?

Kayley : I am relieved

Peter : why are you relieved?

Kayley : I am relieved that the new kid isn't as bas as I thought he was.

Peter : That will do and you Connor, why are you confused?

Connor : because I never had friends before, looking at Kayley.


Sophie : Does anyone would like to say anything.

No , they both answered.

Sophie: okay, I have a question for both of you. You two are our first students here and Peter and I were thinking about a name for the school. Our first school's name was Mountain Horizon. I would like you both to think about it and if you know a name you can tell one of us. All right?

They both nodded.

Sophie : because it's technically still summer holiday for 4 days and there will be coming no new kids till Saturday Peter and I talked about how we could keep you busy and so we came up with a survival-trip. It's 9 o clock right now. You both have time to pack before ten.

They both went to their dorms.

"The trip"

Peter went outside finding the kids already outside playing basketball with each other. It was just half past 9.

Peter : mind if I join you? Let's do a game Sophie and me against the two of you?

Connor : Okay , lets do it. He said to Kayley. Who first has 3 points, will win.

Peter : deal let's go.

The kids were ready and Connor threw the ball to Kayley. She catches it and throws back to Connor who was running to the basket. Peter catches it in front of him and throws it to Sophie. Sophie missed it and Kayley took it. She throws in it the basket and scores. Peter took the ball and dribbled it a few times before throwing it back to Sophie. She catches it this time and started to dribble it. Connor went near her and took the ball from her while she was dribbling. Sophie looked surprised. Connor run for the basket and threw it in . the score was 2-0. Kayley gave Connor a high-five and laughed. Sophie took the ball and throws it at Peter. Peter catches it and throws it right in the basket. Peter blocked Kayley so she couldn't throw it to Connor. She made a move to the right that she knew he wouldn't see coming and threw it to Connor and Connor threw it into the basket. They won.

Peter looked at both of the kids.

Peter : do you know why we did this game?

Connor : So we could win?

Peter : Not exactly, Kayley?

Kayley : We had to work together?

Peter : yeah that's correct, we now have seen that you can work fine together.
