The week passed by in a split of second. It was five in the morning when Emy woke up. It was just her habit of waking up early in the morning (in winters, too much early!). Soon breakfast was ready and everyone was at the table. Cyrus began,"I hope you enjoy your first day at school, Emy. And Austen if the school is too expensive than leave it and try other schools."
"No its alright! As long as she is happy and studies well, my money supply will be endless" replied Mr. Austen, immediately rejecting his wife's idea. "Let's go Emy, I'll drive you to school."
"No, darling, you will be late for work. Let the driver take her to school." Cyrus started again

"No, it is my daughter's first day of highschool life. And it is as important to her as it was to me and you. So let the start be a bright beginning!" replied the father, once more rejecting his wife and supporting his daughter.

On their way to school none of the father and daughter spoke to each other. At last they reached the gates of the school. The brown wooden gates opened and the two walked in. The place was beautiful and green as the rumors said. On their way, they met a deer who led them to the classes.
"I see now, why you wanted to enter this school. It is green, beautiful, full of life and colorful...just like Emily," said Mr. Austen, smilingly.
"I will work hard and make you happy, daddy!" replied Emy in high spirits.

"That's my girl," said Mr. Austen, patting her head.
