"Honey, we need to find you a new school to go, most likely Claire will be attending also" said Kendra.
"Anything but public school" replied Massie. " I don't think I could handle it."
"Well since it's so late in the year that may be our only option" said her mother.
"You mean that on top of getting expelled from the best school in Westchester, I might have to go to public school!"
"I'm sorry honey but you may have no choice" said her father."We are doing everything we can, have a little patience"
"I'll be back" Massie said as walked out the the kitchen towards the Lyons' guesthouse. Once she got inside she greeted everyone and rushed up to Claires room to tell her the bad news.
"I can't believe this" Massie gushed to Claire who could barely open her eyes let alone understand what in the world Massie was saying to her.
"Hold on Massie, slow down" said Claire still trying to fully wake up.
"Kuh-laire keep up, we may have to go to PUBLIC SCHOOL!" Massie cried.
"So" responded Claire instantly regretting her words knowing that Massie would blow this way out of proportion. She had to remember to stay calm, for Massie's sake.
"Claire, I've never been to a public school and I don't want to go now!" said Massie on the verge of tears.
"Massie it's okay we'll figure something out" said Claire trying her best to comfort her best friend.
"Yeah sure, I'll see you later" said Massie as she stalked out of Claires room.

"Mom isn't there something you and dad can do to get us back in?" asked Alicia.
"I don't know Alicia, I'll ask your father maybe he can do something." responded Alicia's mother.
"Thanks mom I know he can do something ?" Alicia asked.
"Don't get your hopes up too high" answered her mother. "You'll have to wait to see what he can do."
"Yeah." said Alicia excitedly barely listening as as she walked towards her room.
Block Estate
Dining Room
Friday 7:05 p.m.
As Claire took her seat at the Blocks' dining room table, she wondered why they had invited her family over for dinner.
"Well," Mr. Block began. "I guess you're wondering why we invited you over for dinner, we have found a school for both Massie and Claire.
"WHERE?" Massie and Claire practically screamed in unison.
"You'll be happy to know that it's here in Westchester" said Mr. Block " The name is Rolling Hills Academy for Boys and Girls, I think you'll like it."
"You mean it's coed?" said Massie trying her hardest not to jump out of her seat and skip around the room.
"Yes, it is," said Kendra " but you are not attending this school for the boys!"
"Wow, this is great" added Claire.
"We are going to talk to the other girls parents also, but note that they may decide to send their girls somewhere else." Mr. Block told them.
"Yeah whatever dad, come on Claire we have to go to my room now!" said Massie in a rush of excitment.
