Ivy Scarbrow was seated at a table with Perry as they waited for class to
start. Ethan and Olivia sat across from them. There were only three other
students in the chemistry class.
Rob entered. "Sorry I'm late. Wow when Peter told me this was a small class I didn't expect just." He stopped to count, "seven of you. Let's start of with names this should be fairly easy. Over there we have Perry, Ivy, Olivia, and Ethan. And you would be?" He pointed to a girl with red hair.
"Megan Clark." The girl answered.
"Nice to meet you Megan. And who's your friend?" Rob asks.
"Bryan," the boy answered.
"And last we have?"
"Phoenix." The lone boy sitting in the back corner said.
"Interesting name, who chose it?" Rob asked.
"My sister." Phoenix answered.
"What's your sister's name?" Megan turned around and asked.
"Skye, my other sisters' names are and Happi and Valley," Phoenix answered.
"That's so cool. Are parents hippies or something?" Ivy asked.
"They are Prairie Children. It's cult, which try and pretend they are hippies," Phoenix replied.
"Well now that Phoenix has informed of his family tree maybe he'll come join us in the front so we can start class." Rob said with a grin.
Phoenix moved towards the front, and Megan gestured him to sit at her table with her and Bryan.
"I hear you guys have only gotten through the first three chapters? Rob asked. "In this wonderful book Chemistry, You, and Your World."
"Yeah that sounds about right," Ethan said.
"What do you guys think of this book?" Rob asked.
"It sucks," Megan offered.
"It sucks," Rob wrote on the board. "Does anyone else have something to ad?"
"Boring, the author just rambles on and on about things that have nothing to do with chemistry," Perry said.
"How would you feel if we didn't use the book anymore?" Rob asked the class.
"That would be pretty sweet." Megan answered first.
"Very Dead Poet's Society," Ivy offered.
"I think it would be all right if we tried having class without books. Megan in The Dead Poet's Society they rip out the introduction, they don't through the book away." Ethan informed her.
"No books, stack the books on my desk," Rob said.
One by one the students set their books on Rob's desk.
"Now for your first assignment. I'll be splitting the class into three groups each group will give a presentation on their assigned topic at the end of the week. Any questions?" He pauses and looks. "The groups are Megan and Ethan, Bryan and Olivia, and Ivy, Phoenix, and Perry."
The groups dived up, and Rob passed put their topics.
****Over in Peter's Office **** "Thanksgiving is coming up. How many students are going home?" Sophie asked Peter.
"I'd better come up with a final count." Peter said.
"That's what I was hinting at." Sophie informed him. "What are we going to do for Thanksgiving?"
"I don't know. What do you want to do about?" Peter asked.
"One of is going to have to be here for at least part of the day. I'm not sure how Leah is going to feel about all of this," Sophie said.
"Are we going to let Ivy come home?" Peter asked.
"I don't know she hasn't been here long enough for a home visit. I don't want to break rules for her, but again I thinking about Leah." Sophie told him.
"No bending the rules for Ivy," Peter said. "Peter, Leah has been asking about when she can come and see Ivy," Sophie stated.
"Why hasn't she said to me about it?" Peter asked.
"You haven't been home for dinner at all this week. When was she supposed to talk to you?" Sophie asked.
"Now, it's my fault?" Peter asked.
"I didn't say it was your fault," Sophie said.
"That's what you're implying. You're trying to tell me I'm neglecting my home life," Peter yelled.
"Peter, I'm not going to talk about this here. We can talk tonight at home." With that Sophie left the office.
****Later That Day****
"Maggie can you help me or not?" Leah asked her best friend. The pair were standing by their lockers. Class had just finished for the day.
"Sorry Leah I have baby-sit." Maggie told her.
"Who are you baby-sitting?" Leah asked.
"My neighbors?" Maggie offered.
"You're such a liar Maggie. All of your neighbors are old people," Leah said.
"I just don't want to go. I don't think it's right of you to go sneaking around your parents' back. Why don't you just ask them if they know who your real parents are?" Maggie asked.
"First of all my mom and dad are my real parents. I just want to know their names. Ivy doesn't even know I'm doing this." Leah explained.
"Sorry Leah. I have to go." Maggie said, as she hurried off to catch up with some of her other friends.
Leah finished stuffing books into her backpack. She started to walk down the hall when she saw Lia.
"Hey, Leah," Lia said.
"Hi. Lia, what are you doing today?" Leah asked. "Nothing just going home to do my homework," Lia "Do you want to cam to the library and help me do some research?" Leah asked.
"Sure, I don't have anything better to do. I'll have to let my sister know. What time do you think we'll be done?" Lia asked.
"I don't know. Do you have to be home by a certain time?" Leah questioned.
"No, but my sister, Mia and I share a car and she has cheer leading practice," Lia told her.
"I could take you home after we're done," Leah offered.
"That would fine. I have to go tell Mia what's going on. I'll meet you in the parking lot in five minutes." Lia said.
"See you in five." Leah said as she walked down the hall.
Rob entered. "Sorry I'm late. Wow when Peter told me this was a small class I didn't expect just." He stopped to count, "seven of you. Let's start of with names this should be fairly easy. Over there we have Perry, Ivy, Olivia, and Ethan. And you would be?" He pointed to a girl with red hair.
