Alora looked up at Darien and smiled gently. “Thanks.” She looked around the school parking lot. “You wanna go inside?” Alora asked him, using her thumb to gesture in the direction of their High School.
The school was enormous, as was the covered stadium arena to its left, to the left of the Stadium was a massive six story parking garage. To the right of the schools main building, was a giant clearing that stretched out and around to the back of the school stadium and parking garage.
Past that were six large training gyms. Each one for the different fight ranks. The school’s main building was seven stories tall. It was a behemoth of a building that was able to teach right thousand students, with enough teachers to occupy every classroom.
Because there were so many students in the school, with many subjects, the teachers came to your home room. Your home room was decided by the classes you were taking, and the level of those classes.
Darien was in the same home room with Alora, their classroom was full of highly intelligent students. All their fellow home room classmates attended the Pack University of MSTA for the second half of their day
They were taking AP English and AP History, and fight training at the high school, So like Darien, they only had three exams left before school life was basically done for them.
Alora and Darien look up when they hear the sounds of another vehicle arrive. It was a couple of freshman students. “Not just yet.” Darien responded.
Darien Misheit, but he didict admin 1- instead he decided to distract her hi akis. “Trentes when you fest stated i

“Weah that aiment didn’t happen” Aken azad, frowning when the thought of it. “The bathode intelligence assessment they hat in do when we first got there.*
“Didn’t he call a parent teacher preference” Donen anded

“The Principal wanted me to text out of school early and attend MST? full time. When my parents refined to allow that, the excuse they prie was that they were alraid attending college full time would be too much for tie, because I was too young.”
Alors looked at Darien, and his expression showed exactly how much he didn’t believe that excuse.
Then the Principle nippested that they let me test into the high school, supersting I go to high school and the University at the same time.” Alora continued. “That didn’t go over well with them either.”
“What excuse did they offer to fried that one?” Darien asked.
“They didn’t feel it would be good for me to go to school with kids so much older than me. Said they feared me being taken advantage of Alors’s sarcasm spoke volumes.
Durien didn’t believe the excuse either. “What was the real reason?” he asked her.
As Alora debated, more cars armed, some heading to the parking garage, some finding a place in the four acre parking lot. The school was located on four hundred acres of land
“Just tell him, he already h ates Sarah, he’s not going to think you’re lying “Xena told Alora.
Alora looked at the ground for a second before nodding, turning her head she looked at Darien. “Sarah had just been held back again. This time in the middle school that wanted me to graduate from middle and high school entirely, to start college at age eleven. Where Sarah, at age thirteen, was still in the sixth grade.”
Dariens eyebrows rose in surprise, not because he was surprised with the content of what she was saying, but that she was actually telling him this, instead of changing the subject to avoid answering. This was the first time.
Alora saw Darien’s look of surprise and almost stopped telling him what happened that day when he motioned for her to continue. “See, my parents couldn’t stand to see the daughter they ha te succeed beyond that of the daughter they love and cherish like a princess.”
“A stu pid skank of a princess.” Darien muttered darkly, making Alora laugh.
“So, the Principal, not wanting to see my “genius” Alora mimed quotations, “go to waste, was determined to see my education advance, so he suggested I take high school and middle school courses, then advance to college right out of middle school, saying I would be older by then
“That one didn’t go over either, did it Darien asked, his tone dry, a half smirk on his face.
Alora shook her head “No, it did not
“So, what happened next?” Darien asked, wanting her to continue. He had never gotten the full details, and now that he was, he didn’t want her to stop talking
“By that point my parents wire doue hiding behind their mask of caring parents and told the Principal it didn’t matter what the tests showed, they would not allow me to receive anything other than the basic education required by the law.” Alora told him.
Alora could tell she had his interest, it was in his eyes. He almost looked like an exited puppy complete with a wagging tail and a lolling tongue.
“So the Principal went to the Superintendent, who went to the School Board. After the Principal and the Superintendent got the approval, they wanted from the school board to approach your father about my education
Alora would forever be grateful to Alpha Andrew for becoming the authority over her education. “Of course, the only reason the
Principle even thought of this approach, is because of how close the Principle knew your family was to me.” Alora added.
She looked up at Darien as he looked down at her, a gentle smile on his face. “You’re the daughter my parents always wanted but were never able to produce.” He told Alora. “You know they love you.”
