"What?" Nikki exclaimed angrily. Everyone's reactions were pretty much the same. "I'm sorry, just listen..I got a call. This is NOT my choice; I would love for you guys to stay. I want to be the one to watch you grow and help you. But, I can't. The call was from a very nice man in northern Canada who use to run a public school. It recently closed because a new one was built and he heard of this school and decided to open a middle school like Horizon. Then, the directors of the middle school Horizon program heard of it and told us that we must send all of you there."
"That's not fair! What's the difference?" Katie demanded angrily.
"The school will be much more equipped with handling different problems. Here it's two schools combined so I can't dedicate my time to one group. There will be teachers that handle learning disabilities, social care workers, things like that."
"When do we leave again?" Cole asked. "You and Kristin won't be leaving. Only the people who came especially for the program." Peter said, "but a week."
"You know what? This really sucks!" Riley yelled and ran to the dorms, following by all the other kids.
_____A week later
They were being taken by bus. For some, it was the first on a school bus besides fieldtrips, but for most it was just a reminder of public school life.
"I get the back!" Riley called. Peter had gotten all of them to calm down, somewhat. "So you're going to visit us sometimes, right? And bring Cole and Kristin?" Liz asked quietly. "Of course. Me and Sophie need to go down there sometimes, anyway for supplies, but sometimes we'll be bringing them."
A man stepped off the bus. "Hi, guys," he said nervously. "Who're you?" Kristin asked. Peter nudged her and gave her a Look. "I'm the owner of the school most of you are going to, Damin Rogers." He said. "What do we call you?" Mark asked. "Damin. Or Mr. Rogers if you want to be all technical," he said, shrugging. "No, Mr. Rogers sounds like that old TV guy," Mark remarked.
"Why do we have to go with you anyway?" Riley asked. "Riley!" Peter scolded. "Well I've guess you met Riley. The others are Mark, Benji, Nikki, Katie and Liz. These are Kristin and Cole," Sophie introduced all of them, then pointed to the two standing behind Peter.
"Hey, guys," Damin said. Various ways of "hi" were grunted between the group. "Well, we're suppose to be back soon, so...Do you have all your stuff together?"
"No, we're just-I mean, uh, yes," Katie said when she saw Sophie's look. "They're still a little angry about having to leave," she apologized. "THat's fine, I understand. change it hard. But I think it'll be alright." Damin said, shrugging off their anger.
There were a few awkward moments then Damin spoke up. "Unfortunately, I think we better get going. I'll get on the bus for you all to say good- bye."
He got on the bus and again, it was silent. "Let's not say bye," Sophie started slowly then continued, "We'll see eachother again. So it's just a...see you later. Think of it like that."
That made them a little happier. They said their good-byes or "see ya laters" and got on the bus. soon, only Nikki and Riley stayed. "Thanks Peter, Sophie," they said. They exchanged kids and Peter got eyelevel with them. "You two have a lot of potential. Don't forget that. Stay with eachother no matter what. Promise?" he asked. They nodded.
"See you soon?" Sophie asked as they were getting on the bus.
They both turned around and Riley spoke for them, "See ya soon."
