September 2037
After realizing Chloe had a boyfriend, Aaron felt like there was nothing he could do, another guy had won her heart. All he could do was to move on. He went to his next class after Riley handed everyone their schedules for the semester as Ruben, Stephen, and Aaron met outside Riley's classroom.
"Ok guys what do you all have?" Stephen asked.
"Well we got History together, I got Gym next with Mr. Arsenault, third period I got Science with Mrs. Granger, and I got English last with Mrs. Minkus!…Oh you gotta be kidding me!" Aaron groaned knowing who his teacher is in the final period of the day.
"Dude what's wrong?" Ruben asked.
"Mrs. Minkus, that's my Aunt!" Aaron groaned knowing the infamous Maya Minkus is his teacher.
"Well, it's been good knowing you buddy." They patted his shoulders knowing Aaron is the target of humiliation from two women that know him well.
"Ok who did you guys draw?" Aaron asked knowing things just can't get any worse.
"I got Science with Ms. Nelson, then I got Gym with: Mr. Carter then I finish in English class with…Are you kidding me?!" Ruben said before complaining.
"Tell me you got Mrs. Minkus!" Aaron hoped. Ruben nodded his head.
"HA! The universe still cares about me! Ruben, if I'm gonna go down, you're coming with me!" Aaron said happily knowing his Aunt Maya knows the three friends.
"Ok save the best for last, c'mon Stephen what you got?" Aaron asked.
"Ok so I got Music next with Ms. Carey, then I got Math with Mr. Macdonald, then…Well I guess we'll suffer together boys because I got English with Mrs. Minkus too." Stephen announced to the guys
"We'll get through this together guys the three of us, the legendary trio." Aaron said trying to keep up his spirit.
"Well look on the bright side, your boy Anthony, your sister, and her bestie: Sabrina will be here next year." Stephen said as they all went their separate ways to their next class. Aaron went to a very familiar place for his parents: The Gym. As he went inside the gym he saw that the stands was loaded with students sitting down together. He looked for a free spot as he went up the bleachers and found that there was a free seat beside Chloe so Aaron took it. "Hey Chloe." Aaron greeted the girl that broke his heart.
"Hey Aaron are you in this class too?" Chloe asked.
"Yup! I got Mr. Arsenault." Aaron told her.
"Cool! I heard he's a great teacher. Hopefully he and my teacher are great teachers as well." Chloe said hoping for the best as a man and a woman both came to the front of the stands. The man was in a red tracksuit while the woman was wearing black leggings with red rashguard with the school name and logo on the front of a Warrior carrying his two handed sword and held it in a fighting stance. Aaron's mouth dropped open as he knew this woman! It was Vanessa Babineaux!
"Alright good morning guys and gals I'm Mrs. Babineaux and this is Mr. Arsenault we will be teaching you guys Health and Gym throughout this semester. Lots of people would think this is a pretty easy class is that right?" Vanessa said as she left the question out there for the whole class.
"Well guess what! It ain't as easy everyone thinks it is! A good amount of students actually fail gym not due to the testing or participating in class, but by failing to show up in class and skip the class. Guess what people, you guys are marked for everyday you are here! Don't like it? Well tough luck. Don't be that idiot to skip this class. I hate it when people skip my class and if I ever catch you guys skipping and I see you during my class I will face you about it. No exceptions isn't that right Mr. Friar?" Vanessa said drawing the line in the sand and pointed out Aaron.
"Yes Auntie." Aaron said.
"See guys, I'm Aaron's Godmother and if that boy was in my class I'd mark him like any other person in my class." Vanessa said making no exceptions.
"By the way, if you guys are late, we will do push-ups together as a group then we'll separate. Here's how it works say if one person in my class is late and three people from Mrs. Babineaux's class is late that makes four. What's four times ten?" Mr. Arsenault asked around.
"40." A student near the front answered.
"That's correct, so we would do 40 push-ups together and on center court. So if you don't wanna piss off your classmates, show up on time please." Mr. Arsenault said as some of the class felt some intimidation from both Mr. Arsenault and Mrs. Babineaux.
"Any questions from anyone so far?" Vanessa asked.
"So are we in one massive group?" A student in the back asked raising her hand.
"Nope, we were actually about to get to that but thank you for getting to that. So here's how it works, the guys are gonna be with me, and the ladies will be Mrs. Babineaux. We will be one massive group only for warm-ups. Then we split off to our separate classes." Mr. Arsenault told the class.
"And next we're gonna have to get you to fill out health forms to know if you are able to train oh and another thing, if there is another sort of a medical concern you have, please notify us as soon as this conversation is over." Vanessa told the students asking if they had any medical concerns knowing that their safety was the number one priority.
Sheets were handed out to each student in the room there were maybe about 60 people in the stands and everyone filled the sheets with their medical history to the best of their knowledge and health concerns were answered. Aaron was in great shape thanks to training with his father and working out together. Lucas always wanted to teach his kids discipline through training in sports and how to apply it in their daily lives. Lucas was always a huge fan of character building and would sometimes even let Aaron into the gym with him at Madison Square Garden to watch him workout to teach Aaron the value of hardwork, teamwork, and determination. Aaron kept those values from his father to heart as he handed in his health sheet.
"Ok one more thing, you guys are gonna have to buy the gym uniform from the school. $10 for the shirt, $25 for the shorts. Until then come in tomorrow with gym clothes and I expect running shoes as well." Vanessa informed the students.
"Any questions?" Mr. Arsenault asked around. As he looked around nobody raised their hand, he waited a few seconds, nobody raised their hand.
"Ok guys have a great day." Mr. Arsenault said dismissing the class as everyone left the gymnasium.
All of the 9th graders had lunch now period 3A so that means during 3B and 3C they would be in class. Lunch periods are 45 minutes long as Aaron texted Ruben and Stephen to meet up at the cafeteria to finally get some lunch. The boys got their food and sat down at a table as Aaron spotted Chloe looking around for a place to sit down. "Chloe! Over here!" Aaron called out to her offering her a place to sit. She responded and sat down beside Aaron across from the two other guys.
"So where are you friends at Chloe?" Aaron asked the brunette.
"Well, they all go to another high school along with my boyfriend. My mom and I moved here about a month ago. My friends and my boyfriend go to Notre Dame High School now." Chloe said feeling down feeling like she had been left behind.
"Don't be upset, at least you can see your boyfriend tonight!" Aaron said being supportive but hiding the fact he was awestruck of Chloe.
"Hey Aaron, can we talk after this?" Stephen asked.
"Ya sure." Aaron said.
"But yeah I'll see my boyfriend: Chris Garrison. He's gonna tryout to be the starting point guard for the school basketball team." Chloe said as Ruben and Stephen's eyes shot straight to Aaron as Aaron not only has competition for Chloe's heart, but on the court.
"Oh! That's…Awesome." Aaron said doing his best to hide his jealousy.
"Hey can you guys watch my stuff I just need to usethe washroom really quick?" Chloe asked grabbing Aaron's right shoulder.
"Sure we got you." Aaron said nodding his head agreeing to look after Chloe's stuff as Chloe left and Aaron looked at how she walked staring at her hips.
"You know man, it's easy to tell when you really like a girl." Ruben said snapping Aaron out of his fantasy.
"What?" Aaron asked his friends.
"Dude even Troy could pick up on the fact that you really like this girl! Dude I never seen you pay so much attention to one girl before." Ruben stated recalling certain memories knowing Aaron.
"Not just that but we know where you were looking. You're mad jealous of this Chris Garrison guy huh?" Stephen asked as Aaron felt the pressure.
"Yo shut the fuck up guys! She has a boyfriend, I got zero chances!" Aaron said already counting himself out.
"Oh! But what if they break up? Or what if you do more to impress her? She'd be on your tail like no tomorrow!" Stephen said trying to give Aaron hope.
"Man how the hell would you know?" Aaron asked seeing through Stephen's bluff.
"Dude, I have come to realize that humans and animals are alike! The Alpha Male in a Wolfpack or in a Pride of Lions the baddest Lion is the one with the biggest mane. You need to be a better ball player than Chris! Do that and you got her! Be that Alpha Male and you got this man!" Stephen told Aaron the relation between animals and humans.
"Guys I dunno she does have a boyfriend and I don't wanna interfere on what they already got." Aaron said being respectful of their relationship.
"Screw that Aaron! Make her come to you! This has nothing to do with interfering, it's about winning her over!" Stephen said trying to hammer his point home.
"Let's talk about this later, she's coming back." Aaron said dropping the conversation with his best friends. Chloe came back and she asked so many questions about Aaron and how it felt like to be the son of one of the best Knicks players in NBA history even one of the best player in his position.
As the bell rung for 3B to begin everyone made their way to their separate classes as Aaron made his way to Mrs. Granger's class. He couldn't really focus because of what was going on in class. Stephen did have a point, Aaron wanted Chloe and he knew he was caught red handed looking at how Chloe was leaving as her hips moved left and right with every step she took. He now couldn't wait for Basketball tryouts to come sooner. Before he knew it as he was daydreaming, the bull had rung going to the last class of the day: English with Mrs. Minkus. As Aaron went down the steps and saw the guys again, he noticed another familiar face walking across from them as they made their way to the class: Chloe Wakefield.
The four made their way inside as Maya Minkus was waiting for them taking a sip out of her coffee with her feet up on her pine wood desk.
"Ouuu this gets good I get Huckleberry Junior!" Maya gloated rubbing her hands together knowing she gets to play with her Godson.
"Aunt Maya please I beg you not to do anything embarrassing please!" Aaron begged and pleaded holding his hands together like how his mother would as if he was praying.
"Oh dear boy, you will be ok! I'm not your mother thank God for that! I still feel bad for your sister, whenever I go to one of her Softball games and your Mom and my daughter: Melanie made a banner trying to cheer on Natalie oh and didn't I mention your mom still has to worst cheers EVER!" Maya told Aaron remembering Riley's lack of cheering skills and going beyond the call of duty for a Softball Game.
"Aunt Maya you can talk as much as you want about my parents, or my siblings but please! If you really love me your super cool Nephew, please don't embarrass me." Aaron pleaded again.
"Oh don't worry you're gonna be ok, have a seat Aaron." Maya said reliving Aaron as he sighed with relief that he wasn't gonna be one of Maya's target.
"Ok guys welcome to Grade 9 English! I'm Mrs. Minkus and for the next four months we are actually gonna learn stuff about certain stories and I may or may not bust out a comic for everyone to read together and we'll learn something. Likely it may or may not tie into your lives." Maya said opening up her lesson.
"Mrs. Minkus how would you know what we're going through in our lives like let's be real here, lots have changed since your time." Ruben opened up his mouth as Maya shot him a death glare as Ruben backed off knowing he might regret his words.
"Mrs. Minkus I got a question." Stephen said raising his hand.
"Carpenter right?" Maya asked walking near Stephen's desk in the 3rd row behind Aaron.
"Yes ma'am." Stephen nodded his head.
"Oh don't ma'am me I ain't THAT old." Maya told the young man.
"Ok then Mrs. Minkus my question was, were there Black and White TVs in your time?" Stephen asked her as everyone's eyebrows raised going "Ouuuu!" Maya's mouth hung open for a bit and shot another death glare to an ignorant young man as Maya went in front of Stephen's desk leaned down going face to face.
"There are some words I would say but I don't wanna get fired." Maya said backing off.
"Oh and by the way, I lived in the world of High Definition TV and Aaron's dad was still a Huckleberry!" Maya said mocking Lucas indirectly as Aaron slouched down on his desk.
"You went to school with Lucas Friar as well?!" Chloe asked.
"Oh hell yeah! He hated whenever I did this! Aaron get up boy." Maya instructed her nephew.
"Please don't!" Aaron said wincing and shaking his head.
"Oh c'mon! Its been a good long time! C'mon it'll be just like old times!" Maya said pressuring her Nephew
"Nope!" Aaron answered quickly shaking his head,
"Too bad!" Maya said getting closer to his face taking a deep breath.
"HAAAAA HUUUUUUUURRRRRR!" Maya puffed taking sincere joy doing that letting out a pleasant sigh.
"Why Aunt Maya why? I thought we had a deal!" Aaron said disappointed and embarrassed by his Aunt.
"Hmmm that may have been my best one yet." Maya said proud of herself making her way ack to the front.
"Aaron what is up with your family?" Chloe asked turning around to look at Aaron
"Don't ask me! All the parents are crazy." Aaron told Chloe not knowing why the adults in his family act like the way they do.
"Ok guys so the first novel we're gonna look at is called: Animal Farm by: George Orwell. This looks at a group of for animals that kick out their suppressive human masters and drive them out of the farm. Two of the pigs begin to take charge of Animal Farm: Napoleon and Snowball. That is all I will spoil for you today, the rest you suckers need to read it by next week and we'll have a discussion about it." Maya said holding up her copy of Animal Farm and distributed more copies of the book.
"Any questions?" Maya asked.
"I got one." Aaron raised his hand as Maya point to him.
"Are you gonna try to make fun of me like the other two dopes behind you?" Maya asked.
"No ma'am." Aaron answered.
"Speak boy." Maya ordered him.
"Will the things we read in this class relate to our lives in any way shape or form?" Aaron asked having heard many stories about his Grandfather: The legendary Cory Matthews relating to certain points in history to the lives of his students.
"Probably, I did learn from the best you know." Maya said gloating by flipping her long blonde hair.
"So best to pay attention on what happens in the story because it can relate to stuff in our lives." Aaron asked again.
"I dunno it could happen. With my experiences with the world, I have found that history repeats itself and the same mistakes are made over and over again until corrected. For instance, in Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix, a certain member of the order ratted out the group. The order which had been undiscovered at the time training themselves to defend themselves for when Lord Voldemort would return. After everyone endured their punishment the character: Cho was pretty much abandoned by everyone and hated for talking. Besides the person running the school: Dolores Umbridge and Slytherin House was using fear as a use of power. But then it'll get a whole lot complicated from there and OWWW MY HEAD!" Maya spoke about the franchise until she had a brain cramp like her stepfather would as she held her skull in pain.
"Ok that's enough for today, class dismissed you losers! Make good choices and don't do anything stupid." Maya said dismissing the class.
Aaron, the guys and Chloe went together as they hung out in a staircase together.
"Look guys, I'm sorry my family is very weird I have no clue how they became teachers." Aaron said apologizing on behalf of Riley, Vanessa, and Maya.
"Hey it's all good man, everyone's family is weird in some sort of way." Ruben said to Aaron.
"If anything Aaron, that's what makes your family so unique. They're dedication to teach and help young minds in their own…creative…way." Chloe said trying to finish off her point with the right words.
"Hey guys there's a party on Saturday at the Meyer House. Come and party to bring in the new school year." One of the ninth graders said walking up to them.
"We'll be there." Chloe said as the other ninth grader went off telling others.
"Dude this is your chance to prove yourself to Chloe. Man up dude." Stephen whispered in Aaron's ear.
"Can you shut up!" Aaron hissed back.
"So you coming to the party?" Chloe asked.
"Yeah, we'll be there." Aaron said as Ruben and Stephen looked towards each other proud of Aaron for stepping up to the plate.
Author's Note: Well well well! That escalated quickly! How bout that Aaron drawing his mom in 1st period, Aunt Vanessa will be around in the 2nd period and then end off with Maya! And Riley and Maya only had to deal with Cory! By the way I never read the Harry Potter books and barely remember Animal Farm so to those that have/are reading those books hopefully I did them justice. Anyway next Chapter Aaron on his way home after his first day of school picking up his siblings and we will also see how Riley feels about her son being in High School and maybe her thoughts on Chloe! ;) Please leave a review, fav and follow the story guys and thanks for all the support in such a short amount of time which I didn't see coming.
