Circus of Emotions

Finally the end of summer

School started soon.  The Sullies were moving due to difficulties in their current state. They were only moving from Atlanta Georgia to Miami Florida, but it still put quite a bit of weight on them.

On the bright side, the kids had a fresh start! New school, new experiences, and new friends. Jake could stay with the same business in a different location, and Neytiri could continue working from home. The family already had a steady income so the move wouldn't affect it.

The flight was about 1 hour and 50 minutes going directly. Most of their belongings had been transferred to the new house a couple days before, along with some furniture. Now all they had to do was actually move in. Jake and Neytiri didn't know what reactions to expect from the kids.

The house was something similar what they had in Atlanta. Small 5 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, wide living room area, and a decent sized kitchen. Neytiri and Jake didn't want to put so much pressure on the kids. They tried their best.

It had been hours after they arrived. They all tried to settle and get comfortable. The kids had already been enrolled in school by the time it was around the corner. Tonowari and Jake are somewhat business partners. Tonowari has a bigger position in is job unlike Jake, who is still working his way up. 

Neteyam is usually a bubbly person. Happy, energetic, caring, etc. Kiri is everyone's favorite redhead. She loves her plants, her cat Yubo, and late night walks to look at the stars. Lo'ak is definitely a hard head. Stubborn with an attitude, but he still cares. He just can't always show it. Tukteiry. Tuk is Neytiri's favorite and everyone knows it. She's all giggles. Putting a smile on everyone else's face, and a total ball of excitement.

A few days had passed, and the first day of school began. Jake dropped off the eldest children at the high school and Tuk at elementary. Neytiri didn't want to let go of Tuk, but she had no choice. "Mama! I gotta go!" Tuk yelped. Neytiri sighed. "Sorry baby. Have a good day." She kissed Tuk on the head, and continuously waved goodbye until she entered the building.

Neteyam was on his way to his homeroom class. The teacher walked up to the front of the class and introduced herself. "Hello class! I'm Mrs. Welkans. I will be your homeroom teacher this year! Please find a seat wherever you desire, and we will continue in a moment". Everyone found a seat and sat down their things. "Alright everyone. As you know we have a new student arriv- oh! There he is now!" Neteyam walked through the door before the teacher could finish her sentence. He stumbled as he walked in, catching himself by grabbing the door handle. "My apologies. Please, continue." "It's alright. Please find a seat. Anywhere is fine."

He found a seat in the back of the classroom, next to a boy by the window. The teacher started to call on people to introduce themselves. Neteyam wanted to start the year off by making friends. He thought the boy beside him looked like a good person. He lightly tapped on his shoulder. "Hi! I'm Neteyam!" He whispered. The boy slightly flinched at the touch out of surprise. He took one of his AirPods out of his ear and looked over. Neteyam stuck a hand out to shake his. "Hello!"

The boy looked at his hand in silence. He seemed a bit timid to Neteyam. "What's wrong? Are you mute?" The boy was about to put his AirPod back in when the teacher called on him. "Ao'nung? Could you introduce yourself please?" He hesitantly stood up from his desk and said his name. "I'm Ao'nung." He mumbled as he looked down at his feet. "A bit louder please?" The teacher seemed annoyed. He repeated himself louder and started to fidget his fingers. Mrs. Welkans sighed. "You May sit now." She then called on Neteyam. "Hello! I'm Neteyam!"

Mrs. Welkans looked at her watch. "Since it's the first day school, you have about 15 minutes to adjust. Walk around the classroom if you'd like. If you want, you can visit other classrooms that are doing the same."
