			Chapter Three

	Ring! 'Huh! Is that the bell already?' Wow, I was day- dreaming
during the whole class period. As I was getting up to leave, packing up my
books and stuff, I felt a tap on my shoulder as I turned around and I heard
a gasp leave my lungs. It was David.
	"Hey... You are Kayden, right. My name is David." He said in a soft
baritone voice.
	"Yeah that's right Kayden Strands nice to meet you," I said smiling
softly.
	"I noticed that you weren't paying attention to Mr. Simon as much
as you usually do.," he said.
	I smiled bashfully "yeah I have a lot of things going on in my head
this morning for some reason."
	"Well, we have a test next class over what he just talked about
this morning, do you want today's notes I can let you borrow them and then
you can come to my place this afternoon to give them back and we can hang
out a bit."
	I was stunned, he asks me to his house the first time we meet "uh
sure let me call and talk to my dad and let him know at lunch and I'll meet
you after school"
 	"Okay, meet me at the flag pole after school then we'll walk to my
place"
	"Okay, see you then" I said as I ran to get to my next class, which
was on the other side of the school.
	My next period was Political Science, it is a college credit class
and I am taking it with a whole bunch of juniors and seniors as a freshman,
so I guess you could call me a nerd but I am not a stereotypical nerd, I
love sports. I love swimming and equestrian sports... well ok so maybe I am
a bit of a nerd, a gay nerd at that!
	As I was taking notes in my political science class, a pass came
for me to go to the principal's office. 'Hmm, I wonder what this is for...'
Because I am a good student, I have never been in trouble. When I got
there, the secretary smiled and led me to the office. Inside I found my
dad, the principal Mrs. Harris and a man I did not know. I started to get
worried and my dad sensed the change in my demeanor.
	"Kayden its ok, I promise, this is Professor Holt, and he is one of
the advisors at one of the top high schools in the state."
	"Good morning Kayden" he said shaking my hand.
	"Good morning, may I ask what all this is about?" I asked still
apprehensive about the arrangement.
	"Well as your father says I am an advisor for one of the top high
schools in the state." Professor Holt started "According to your recent
test scores you made a perfect score on your PSAT and your ninth grade TAKS
test, were commended for all subjects on the TAKS and you a in the running
for merit scholarships. Congratulations!"
	"Wow" was all I could say. I was literally speechless.
	"Well that is impressive," my dad said.
 	"Now there is actually one more student that has earned the same
honors but I will tell him after you leave. Now the offer my school has
offered you is quite simple. I have to ask you a few questions; would you
be willing to go to an all boy's school for the rest of your high school
education?"
	"I guess, I mean I don't have many friends here so no one will miss
me."
	"Good, good now this school is a private, invitation only school it
is called Irvine's School for Boys and we are giving you and the other boy
a full tuition paid scholarship to our school."
	"Oh my gosh" I gasped "I've heard of that school and I have always
wanted to be part of it you guys have one of the best boys choir in the
country!"
	"Yes sir, we do" professor Holt beamed.
	 "Dad, dad can I go please?" I asked my excitement growing with
every passing moment.
	"Absolutely, this is a wonderful opportunity for you." He said
	"Excellent! You will have to sort out your grades and paperwork
with your teachers today and tomorrow then we need you at the school for a
ceremony Thursday evening," Professor Holt added.
	"Well, congratulations Kayden, and Mr. Strands you must be so
proud!" Mrs. Harris said. My dad could only nod yes he was so happy.
	After I said my thanks to Professor Holt, I was given a pass back
to class. As I was walking out Mrs. Harris told the secretary to call David
Harper to the office and get his dad to come up to the school. 'Holy crap!
Is David the other boy Professor Holt was talking about?' I just about
fainted.
