Chapter 12

"Okay, I wont tell anyone," said Duane genuinely.
"Me and your dad were talking about you guys going to school," said Sparkle. Duane gasped.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you," said Duane excited.
"Duane, the first days of school aren't that easy. You have to make a good first impression. You need to be who you are. You need to do a lot of stuff," said Sparkle.
"Don't worry, Sam will help me," said Duane.
"Um, Duane. In school you are put in classes depending on your age. So unfortunately, she wont be with you. Only Moon and Sun will be with each other," said Sparkle. Duane frowned. "Why them? I want someone to be with me so I don't be alone," said Duane.
"You can make new friends,"
"No, I want my family, in fact if no one is going to be with me I don't want to go to school,"
"Duane, please. Do you know how much your dad went through to make a place for you in school?"
"I don't care,"
"That isn't nice. All you wanted is to go to school. Here is your chance and you refuse it for such an unreasonable fact,"
"You don't understand,"
"Duane, you will go to school whether you like it or not. Your dad went through a lot. You should be thankful. I can't believe a boy like you. I would be so happy if I had such a dad. But a boy like you wouldn't understand!,"
"You aren't my mother!" shouted Duane as he walked to his dad.
"Such an ungrateful boy," thought Sparkle. She went to her car. Solar stopped her.
"Wait, I couldn't thank you enough..................," said Solar. As he was talking Sparkle was looking at Duane muttering to himself. ".............And I wish you a happy life. Please come visit again. Maybe we could talk about that job. Sorry if I was boring you, I know you have a busy schedule,"
"Not at all, I am always happy to help. Okay, I have got to go, bye," said Sparkle. She drove away. Solar looked at his kids.
"Duane, where did you go? I am furious at you. And Danny, I hope you didn't do anything to Harry, while I was gone. Samantha, did any of you fight? Sun, what did you do while I was gone?" said Solar quickly.
"Well.........," said Danny.
"I am sorry daddy. I went to find you but I couldn't," said Duane innocently.
"What did you do Danny?" asked Solar angry.
"Take it away Sun," said Danny. Sun shot a look at Danny.
"I kinda yelled at him," said Sun nervously.
"Sun, what did I tell you about behaving if I am gone?" asked Solar.
"Don't tell lies, be kind, and always say please and thank you," recited Sun.
"Yes, and which rule did you break?" asked Solar.
"Be kind," said Sun. Star giggled really quietly. Sun heard her.
"Yes, and what should you say if you meet Harry again?" asked Solar.
"I'm sorry, dad can me and Star do some sister bonding inside?" asked Sun.
"I never said yes!" said Star.
"Star go do some sister bonding with Sun, but after........," said Solar.
"After what?" asked Miral.
"After I tell you good and bad news," said Solar.
"Bad news first," said Sam.
"The bad news is that we have to work harder and get more money to buy clothes and other stuff," said Solar.
"The good news?" asked Moon.
"You guys are going to school!" shouted Solar. They all cheered except Duane.
"What's the matter Little D?" asked Danny.
"Nothing, just leave me alone. And don't call me Little D anymore. My name is Duane," said Duane. He crossed his arms.
"You love the name Little D. What happened?" asked Danny.
"I am just really depressed," said Duane.
"Kids, I have worse news," said Solar.


Uh oh. What is the bad news?
