Fourth birth :The Oakmont saga, Book 1

Michael, Headmaster, looked over the results of the most recent FICAT test. Only two students out of the entire sample impressed him, one of whom was the student they had been looking for and had finally found. The additional is a bonus. He remained baffled as to why she had vanished for so long. Naturally, with so few people taking the test. He was surprised that schools had found her at all. At least they had discovered her and her brother, who they had never even heard of before."We should set up a visit to The Frozen North. We want to carry this young woman to Oakmont," he said, his eyes on his lead overseer of newcomers. " We might get a look at the boy while we are there. We must be prepared to hire him, possibly next year.Jessie Trulin looked up at him and said, "If this new test is accurate, she shows a lot of potential."“It is.” He gave her a smile."I've always been fascinated by the idea that a standardized test could identify children with the distinctive abilities we s

"This is the test that you took last week. Please remain quiet in class while I distribute these. After that, she gave each student an envelope with their name on it. Except for a compiled score, neither the school district nor the teachers are aware of the results. The purpose of this was to assess the intelligence of students in this grade level for the federal government. We can't use it to change what you're learning or where you're in class. Open it at home and show your parents what it says. She said, "See you tomorrow," as she gave the last envelope to someone.I quickly got up from my seat and headed for the side exit when the bell rang. I slowed down to open the envelope once I was off school property. I didn't have to listen to the other kids' teasing because, fortunately, I drove them all away. I carefully slipped my finger under the envelope's front flap, taking care not to tear the paper.I slid the folded piece of paper out as I lifted the flap to see what was inside. It

My mother and I set out to pack for New York. The fact that Momma was packing for the same weather as Alaska surprised me. Given how far south it was, I would have expected it to be warmer there. I chose to pack two or three great books for the plane ride, which Momma said was extremely lengthy. I rethought my books and added a few more to my carry-on bag because Momma was very serious about it being long. Obviously, my venture envelope was in my rucksack also, which would remain with me on the plane.Momma gave me many long hugs and kisses after we finished packing. She tucked me in and helped me get ready for bed at last. I was glad she did it, even though she had given up doing it after All Saints Academy. Daddy came in a minute later, gave me a lengthy hug, then kissed me. Finally, he gave me a very close hug, which I knew would trigger a tickle attack. I started screaming loudly and messing up Momma's tuck-in job completely as soon as I realized, and the attack started. I'd reali

If I could have remained in AHG, that would have been nice. I learn new things from them.Once more, I had to force myself to relax and control my emotions. This was the first time I had admitted that I did not have friends, and now that I did, even to me, it sounded pathetic. I could tell that I was sorry for myself.I'm fine now. Can we return? I gave Mrs. Chambers and Mrs. Ivers one last look as Momma and Daddy began to leave.I am grateful to you for your kindness and for providing me with a wonderful learning environment. I said my goodbyes and left.Mrs. Chambers coughed out, "Goodbye Shirley," appearing to have a sudden dry throat. She appeared to be unable to say anything else.Even the proper principal heard Mrs. Ivers say, "Good luck at your new school."I spent the afternoon reading a book I had purchased at the native center, enjoying the illustrations as much as the content. After that, primarily as a means of occupying myself, I went online and read a little more about t

"Leave your things and follow me," Mrs. Trulin said, as the Director left the plane."Indeed ma'am, however could I at any point carry my undertaking envelope with me?" I inquired."No, you may not. Leave your things and follow me," she rehashed, and looked somewhat irritated. I left my things and did as taught, not needing a rehash of prior, however I would have rather not leave my envelope.There was a van at the foundation of the flight of stairs. When we moved in, the van took off. It wasn't far before we moved toward a tall wall with loads of sharp looking wire moved on the top and around the base, and two watchmen at the entryway. They recognized the van and opened the entryway, allowing us to go on through. A brief distance later, we came to a wall with lookouts dispersed along it at standard spans. As walls go, I guess it was a decent wall, made of red block, however significantly taller than the one at my last life experience school. Obviously, my last all inclusive school li
