I don't own commander in chief
My last chapter was not great, but this one should be a lot better (I hope)
In Scotland you start high school at 11 and pick subjects to specialise in after your second year, this makes Elizabeth very good at some subjects and not very good at others.
The Thanksgiving Weekend went by and the next week Elizabeth would be starting school, she was going to be a freshman at the same school as Horace and Rebecca except for Maths and science which were subjects she excelled at and would be put into the sophmore class. Elizabeth woke up on monday morning nervous and scared, she did not know what to expect.
Mac came into Elizabeth's room
Mac:Are you ready for school?
Elizabeth:Do I have to go?
Mac could see how worried Elizabeth looked,
Mac:It will be OK. Don't worry
Elizabeth:I don't know anyone, and everyone will laugh at my accent
Mac:Let's go to breakfast and Horace and Becca will be at school too
Mac gave her a cuddle and they went to the dining room, that night there was to be a state dinner with the British Prime Minister, Mac wanted the 3 oldest children to go.
Nora came into the Dining room
Nora:Good morning, Madam President,Tony and Cherie Blair have arrived in
Washington for tonight's state dinner
Becca:Is that tonight?
Nora:Yes very exciting
Just at that Catlin started to throw her cereal over the room which hit Rebecca her white top was covered with Chocolate Milk.
Rebecca:I HATE THIS HOUSE I WISH THEY WOULD GO BACK TO SCOTLAND
Elizabeth ran out of the room and to her room and Catlin started to cry. Kate went over to Catlin to comfort her while Mac went to Elizabeth.
Rod:Rebecca that was uncalled for, go and get changed and apologise to Catlin
and Elizabeth
Rebecca went to her room to get changed, she didn't hate her cousins, she just did not want them living with her, she never had anytime with her Parents as it was and now she had to share them more.
Mac:Sweetheart Rebecca doesn't mean what she said
Elizabeth:yes she does, she has not liked me since we visited you in Connecticut last
time, she used to like me
Mac:The 2 of you got on so well when you were little, do you remember when
you used to write to each other
Elizabeth:Yes, I always wanted to be friends with her, but at the last trip we fell out I
wrote to her, but she never replied
Mac:Don't worry Becca will come round, you better hurry or you will be late
Mac hugged Elizabeth and she left for school. Mac was walking down the hall when Rebecca came out.
Mac:Have you not left yet
Rebecca:I had to get changed
Mac:I want you to be more tolerant of your cousins
Rebecca:Please not another lecture, thats all you do now, besides i heard it from
Dad.
Rebecca walked away from her mother
Elizabeth got into the secret service limo, Amy and Horace were already there.
Horace:Don't worry about Rebecca, and if anyone gives you any hassle at school
tell me
Agent Greer:I will be with you all day too, and Horace, don't do anything stupid, like get
into another fight
Horace:Don't worry everything will be fine
Rebecca came into the limo, they went to school and no one said a word except Amy who was nagging Agent Greer to show her her gun. They dropped Amy off first and then went to the High school. When they got there the press had evaded the school grounds, Horace and Becca left the car, used to the attention, Elizabeth was very apprehensive, but was brave enough to go into the building.
Once in school her first class was American history, she got into the class and found a seat at the back, she had never studied American History before and had stopped doing History at school after her second year at high school in Scotland. The class filled up and everyone was staring at her as she was new.
Teacher:OK class we have a new student starting today, could Miss Elizabeth Allen
stand up please
Elizabeth stood up nervously
Teacher:Would you like to tell us a bit about yourself
Elizabeth:I have just moved here from Glasgow
Boy:I can't understand you
Teacher:OK that is enough, now lets get on with today's class
Elizabeth sat in the class, she did not understand what was going on and she knew she would need help with this subject, but everyone expected her to know everything because her Aunt was the President.
Elizabeth went to 3 other classes before lunch, Maths was fine, she understood everyithing and in English she had already read Angela's Ashes the book the class were reading so that made her feel a lot better. Her next class was Geography which was one of her best subjects in Scotland.
At Lunch she never knew where to sit, she saw Horace and Rebecca with some friend's, but she did not want to sit with them well with Rebecca, she saw a table with no one at it and sat there.
Horace and Rebecca were sitting with friends at there usual table.
Horace:We should go and sit with her
Rebecca:No why should we
Horace:Because she is alone, and I feel sorry for her, we could have both been
nicer to her
Rebecca:Well I am not sitting with her
Horace got up and moved over to the table his cousin was at he sat with her and she told him about her day. Horace had to go to practice and Elizabeth was left alone again. The rest of the day went the same with some kids teasing her accent, but there was one boy who never, in fact he was a really nice to her, his name was James.
She went home with her cousins with a mountain of homework.
Mac had a good day, the British Prime Minister and his wife had come and there meeting was very good. Mac had also agreed to join the Kyoto agreement. She had also agreed with the British Prime Minister that the G8 conference for the next year should be at Gleneagles in Scotland.
Please review.
Just a note the G8 summit was held in Gleneagles in Scotland last year
