I checked the time. 7:45am. Only fifteen minutes left. I should get going.

I am so excited. Why, you may ask?

Because, today my dad decided to grant my wish of going to school. I've been home schooled all my life, and this was a golden opportunity. I'm going to be experiencing everything a high school teenager experiences. Friends, teachers, learning,

Heck, I might even join the basketball team!!

Not that I'm that tall.... I'm 5'7.

Anyways...

No more disturbances from my father, no more confinement at home as if I was a kid. I'm finally getting my freedom!!

Excited, I reminisced back to my last conversation with my dad.

«flashback»

"Hey, dad. " I said as I entered his office.

His massive office.

"What is it, Daire, I'm busy. " He said, not looking up from the paperwork on his desk.

"Um.. I was wondering... Since you're busy and all, and my homeschool teacher just quit, maybe... "

" No. " He cut me off and answered me immediately.

"Come on, dad!" I begged.

"No. I'll get you another teacher. But you are not going to a public school. "

I had prepared for this.

" But it's not a public school! It's a school I recently discovered!! A lot of rich kids go there instead of Nexus High. "

This time, he raised his head, and his eyes met mine.

" Are you serious? " He asked.

"Yeah!" I said, happy that I have his attention. "It's called ICHS. " I explained.

He hummed in thought, his hand on his chin.  He then turned to his computer, typing something.

He was looking it up. Well, Thank goodness I didn't make it up.

"Ice Cream High School?" He asked.

Weird name, even for me.

" Y- yeah... " I said, feeling down. He might not agree due to the name.

Oh owner of the school, why did you have to name your school that way?

Finally, he nodded.

"Fine. You can go there. I'll arrange your enrollment. "

"Really?" I asked, unbelievably.

Just like that?

" Get out of here before I change my mind. " He threatened, and I left immediately.

Yes!! Thanks, ICHS!!

And that was it. Just that small introduction to ICHS got my father to agree to my request.
