James Prep

Improved Essays
Preamble
My intervened best friend’s life flipped upside down during our Freshmen year of High School. To understand this story, you need to trace our steps back to our eighth grade year at James Prep School for the Gifted. James Prep is a well-known boarding School in the center of the City of Cincinnati. The students accepted into this school were gifted in some way shape or form.
Emma Willow Grace and I are both gifted in many categories including The Sciences, Language Arts, Social Studies, Foreign Languages and the arts.
Chapter One
Once Upon a time Emma went to her Youth group on one Sunday afternoon in her home town of Fairfield Ohio, and there she met a boy named Raven Lucas. Raven was in the seventh grade year at our rival school Sony Prep. Because of the fact that, Sony Prep in located in Emma’s home town the two teenagers exchanged phone numbers and started texted. Soon after Emma started going back home on the weekends just to visit Raven. “Grrr.” I huffed as I turned over I then rubbed the spot were Emma had just thrown her tiny blue sneaker at me and hit me square in the temple. “Come on Kenzie we are going to be late for breakfast again!” Emma Exclaimed, while I turned over under the protection my covers. “Kenzie Caria James, don’t make me call your Uncle.” Emma threatened me while waving her blue cell phone around in the air. To anyone else at the James Prep that simple threat would have little to no effect on them but to me those simple words were all you had to say. My Uncle is the Jacob David James meaning that he was the owner and the headmaster of James Prep School for the Gifted. “No! You don’t have to call Uncle Jacob! I am up! I am up!” I muttered as I slowly, but surely got up. Next I slap on a blood red silk skirt paired with a black and red owl crop top. I grabbed my flats and my key and then headed out of my dorm. Our walk to my Uncle’s private quarters was peaceful only because of the fact that, Emma is the only other student besides me staying on the campus. There is a month still till the term starts so Emma joined me yesterday to keep me company. Emma had spent three months visiting her close knit family and her close friend Raven. After my parents passed, Uncle Jacob became my legal guardian and James Prep became my home. I whipped my keys out and unlocked the front door of James Hall. The both of us made our way to the dining hall where I saw Jacob’s nose buried inside Romeo and Juliet. Along with being my Uncle, legal guardian and Headmaster he is also my Drama teacher. “Hello, Jake.” I

So like during the summer months and on the weekends.” I explained. “Emma and I have a really cozy dorm that overlooks the stables.” I stated. I turned my head and came in contact with his perfect ocean blue eyes, I caught him looking at me in awe.
“Well we better get going, Uncle Jacob Probably wants to meet up.” I smile and take Asher by the hand to led him down to the back patio on to a plush love seat.
“So Asher where do you live when you are not studying at Sony Prep?” I asked because most students travel back home to visit friends and family during the warm summer months.
“Well my godparents are the proud owners of a thriving outdoors goods store. So because of the fact that I live in the City of Fairfield I attend Sony Prep as a day student. My family moved back to the United States before the beginning of my seventh grade year, due to some unforeseen… circumcises.” Asher explained. Even though I have only just meet this boy I feel like I could tell him anything, and if I am not mistaken I am sure he could say the same thing himself. This boy seems to be taking down the metal brick wall I have put in place years ago, but honestly I can’t tell if that is a bad thing or simply good? I guess only time may tell how a simple cup of coffee can change the course of my entire

    Perhaps the single, most common answer to the question of the purpose of school is that it is to shape young minds in preparing them for the future. For some, school is where they go learn skills and techniques useful in the work world. For others, they are just forced to go to school, to be hassled with the burdens of overwhelming assignments, which deprive them of their ever so fulfilling social lives and other salient priorities. However, for the students in Crenshaw High School, school was a sanctuary, a safe haven; the only place where they felt accepted, worthy and optimistic. School was their only outlet where they could openly express themselves, especially in their English classes.…
