The Philosopher's Tree (a new beginning)

Chapter VI "School"

Their father,who was still at the table,with the food delicious,and warm. The roasted beef,and everything ! The children came down,from where they were,and Peter dusted himself off from the sand. And all five ran inside,to the kitchen. "Not a moments late!" Said their Father as he smiled, they all sat at the table for dinner,and they all enjoyed it. "Papa,I went on an adventure!" Said Peter. "It was imaginary,he enjoyed it though." Replied Kaii as he held the beef to his mouth. "I met a girl named Lucky!" Said Peter again. "And we gots kidnapped!" "It was very fun-Peter,its 4:00,it's your nap time." Said James after Peter ate the last bit of mashed potato. "I'm done,I need to go deliver designer dresses,I'll get payed three dollars a dress!" Jane got up,and flatted her little dress. "I'm heading to pick up the dresses,I'll be back at about 9:00 PM!" She ran out the house immediately.  They went around,doing their little jobs. At no surprise,it was 9:04 pm. Jane came back and put the money down on the table for her father,though everyone was asleep, then she went up the steps once more ,into her bedroom with the others,and went on the top bunk. They laid asleep until the next morning,same time,the windows were already open,and same thing as the first chapter. "Susan wake up! School time!"  "Kaii you twoo!" "And you gwuys twoo!" They all got up,and got ready for school. Amelia  and Jane got on their white shirts,with a yellow tie,and  yellow checkered skirts. For the boys,they put on their white shirts,with a red tie,and their grey trousers. James shut and locked the bathroom door,and took out his map. He looked at it and looked at earth. He decided when he's older,he'll sail over to the main island. James then folded the map,and put it in his pocket,unlocked the door,and left. "Andrew Smith." Said the person on the telephone with their Father.  "This is he." The children came running down the stairs. "One second Mr.Edwards." Their father put  his hand on the phone. "Would you like me to walk with you all?" Jane turned. "No thank you,John Caspers is letting me ride with him!" "A boy?" Replied James. "Oh please,like you haven't let a fine female ride with you." Peter waved goodbye to his Father and held Susan's hand. And off they went. Kaii was riding a nice girl to school,but in a different route so his siblings wouldn't know. Jane was having a conversation with John. "So,do you have any siblings?" Asked Jane. "No,it's just me." "Is it boring? Or lovely?" "It's boring. But,I don't have to deal with siblings bothering me about people I hang out with if they're a opposite gender. My parents do though." "If I were younger,I would've said to change our life any day,but,I couldn't live without my twin and my older siblings,including my younger one,Peter." "Hm,interesting!" John stopped his bike at the school and helped Jane off. He smiled at her,warmly. Jane ran inside the school smiling. James stood ahead of her looking straight at his sister. "Why are you smiling?" "Cause I'm in a good mood? Now move before we are both late to class!" She pushed James out the way and went to class. Kaii sat in class biting his pencil and fooling around with it. He wasn't interested in school at all,especially his last year of middle school. Never did he answer questions,and all about was he tired! He always went to bed at ten o'clock sharp,and never went off to sleep past that,only on weekends. Never did he get in trouble. He just had a talkative mouth. Every time the bell rang,he'd scoot his chair back,and lazily get up,and he'd slowly walk to the locker room,once he got there,he'd have a cup of coffee he always saved,and there goes his energy,back at it! Amy sat in class raising her hand repeatedly,answering questions back to back,and asking them. She sat next to her best friend,Jamie Clocksworth. Jamie and Amy are what we would call "4-lifers" They did every possible thing together. Amy was awake a ton too,ready to learn. Even though Amy was in the 11th grade,and very much did she hate school,she was "gifted" I say that because she is. When the bell rung,she would hug her teacher and run off. "What's the big deal?" Said Amy catching up with Jane and James seeing James was still quite angry at Jane. "He's mad at me." Kaii ran up to them. "What for?" "Because she was with John Caspers!" Shouted James. "So? Let her be a sixth-grader,she can learn her own lesson if her heart is shattered upon the floor." "So?! Is that all you have to say,Amelia? So???!!" Said James more angered than before. "My friend is John Caspers! And I will not tolerate my twin sister being friends with my friends!" James stomped off after that. Poor Jane,with a brother like this,she won't be able to make it to the age 15! After school Jane was offered a ride home,as the others went with other people. She was offered a ride by no other than John. "Sure- my brother——— he wouldn't let me but...he's riding with a friend of his so,sure." John smiled at her warmly again. "I don't care what your brother says,perhaps,I'm his friend after all. Come,get on!" Jane got onto the back, and was in awe. Who knew,a twelve year old sixth grader,can be so kind. Not even her own twin brother was like that. "John,would you like to come over today? If—your not busy—of course!" She said. "I'll be delighted with that,does your father have a policy of no boys other than your brothers?" "Not that I know of." "Okay then,sure,I'd love too." When all of them made it back from school,James looked at John and did a devious smile. "John,come with us to the yard,we should climb a tree." "No thank you." And John left.
