School Board

Chapter 1: Goodbye Lyon

Popularity, It steers us all in weird directions. Simply liking a band, skipping class, bullying on those less on the popularity scale than you. Some people will stop at nothing to rise to power, yet there are still those who simply do not care, Aaron Oakyte.

"Mom, I don't want to leave," Aaron said

Aaron was a 14 year old boy who was leaving to New Orleans for a boarding school. It was not that Aaron's parents didn't want him around it is just that Aaron was brilliant. This was one in a life time experience and at first Aaron was excited to go, finally a school to give him a challenge. There sadly was one flaw, his twin sister Amber had to go to, unfortunately she was brilliant to.

"Come on it won't be so bad, you'll be back before you know it," Aaron's mom, Aubri said.

"I'd love to go, oh wait, AMBER IS COMING," Aaron screamed, trying to get Amber to here.

"How about this," Aaron said, " I'll give you my allowance for a year if you let me stay here in Lyon.

"No, oh Aaron, I wasn't going to tell you this but, you know that really smart lady you admire," Aaron's mom said,"Ms. Quitish, Ms Quitrt, Ms...

"Ms. Quiwint!" Aaron screamed, interrupting his mother.

"Yeah, that's her"

"Really, no way," Aaron suddenly started having second thoughts about not going to boarding school.

"I'll go mom, to make you proud," Aaron said proudly.

Aaron then hugged his mother and Aaron could fell the tear drops of his mother. Then the door bell rang. Aaron went down stairs to see who it was. At the door was a man, he was tall and thin, and was wearing a blue tuxedo.

"Are you Aaron Oakyte and do you know a Amber Oakyte?" The man asked.

"Yes, why?"

"Because my name is Mr. Roanogè, your taxi driver, to the airport"

"Oh yes, I'll get your bags," Aaron's mom said. As she went up the stairs Aaron could her her cry and it just broke his heart. She came back down with Aaron's bags in her hands and sadness on her face.

Aaron hugged his mother once more, then his sister went right in between them and bumped into the tall man.

"Excuse me mother, I'll have a great time at boarding school," Amber said sarcastically, "One more thing, I won't miss you to much."

Amber left the house and got into the taxi and the yelled, "Come on Aaron, we haven't got all day."

"Just a second," Aaron yelled back. He wanted to spent as much time as possible with mother and father.

"Aaron", his mother began, " look after your sister, she isn't as strong as she seems."

"I will"

"Wait, one more thing," his father said, "This is for you."

Aaron's dad handed a package to Aaron. It had blue wrapping, and a shiny silver bow.

"Thanks," Aaron said.

"Aaron, don't forget to contact us," his father said

"Okay, I love you both so much," Aaron said, "And I will make you proud."

"Goodbye Aaron!"

Aaron then got into the taxi and they started off. Aaron waved to his parents as they drove by. This is Aaron's last time seeing his parents for a long time, three years in fact.

"So, where you kids going," asked the taxi driver.

"We are going to the airpo..." Amber said, but was interrupted by Aaron.

"We need to go to London towers," Aaron said

"Okay,"the man said

"What are you doing?" whispered Amber.

"I need to get something to remember England," Aaron whispered back, "trust me, I bet you'll like it to.
