The next day, the kids all go to school. I decide to call the school instead of showing up. 

"Hello." Ms. Hazel says. 

"Hello. This is Piper North. I'm Avery and Alejandra North's mother. I was hoping I could un-enroll them." I respond. 

"Oh. Okay." Ms. Hazel replies. She types something and asks for some things. "Alright, I hope Avery and Alejandra are okay. Good bye, Mrs. North." 

"Bye." I say before hanging up.

When everyone gets home, Austin and I pull Avery and Alejandra into mine and Austin's bedroom. 

"Are we in trouble?" Avery asks. 

"No. The opposite." I answer. Avery gives me a strange look but I notice Alejandra is looking nervous. 

"Your mom and I pulled you girls out of your current middle school. We also enrolled you into a homeschooling program." Austin tells the girls. 

"Really?" Avery asks, excited now. 

"Yep." I nod. 

"Can I still hang out with Vivi?" Alli asks. 

"Yes, of course." I reply. Avery gives me and Austin a big hug then runs out of the room happy. Alli follows. "I think they're much happier." I say. 

"Me too." Austin agrees. He puts his arm over my shoulders and we walk downstairs.
