As Alexander looked through the mail, he soon found what he was looking for: the letter from Skyline Institute. Opening it, he took out the contents and unfolded the paper, skimming through the contents. [i]Accepted... fantastic![/i] Alexander thought excitedly. After a few moments, though, an unexpected voice came from behind him, "Well, well, looks like [i]someone[/i] has some great news to tell." Alexander turned around to see his mother, smiling. 

Alexander smiled back and replied, "Come on, Mom, it's just an acceptance letter to Skyline. Not like it's a [i]big deal[/i] or anything," his tone clearly implying otherwise. Alexander then turned his attention to a hallway and raised his voice, "And you can stop hiding over there!" A moment later, two heads appeared, revealing Alexander's twin sisters behind the corner. "How'd you know we were here?" one of them asked. "We didn't even make any noise," the other continued.

Alexander merely responded, "I'm not stupid. I know how you two think." After the twins came out from their hiding spot and over to him, one of them asked teasingly, "So, big man, you're gonna go to some fancy school now?" "Wear a fancy suit and get all the girls?" the other continued. As Alexander laughed, Alexander's mother decided it was time to interject and say, "Alright, you two, cut it out. This is big news." The twins were silenced, but their grins made it evident they still had more ammunition to fire.

Alexander's mother then turned to him and said, "You have no idea how proud I am, Alex." "Mom-" Alexander said before getting interrupted. "No no no, let's not spoil the mood," she said. "Oh, my hard working son, always doing his best while dealing with the she-devils..." "Hey!" the sisters said with mock indignation, which Alexander's mother ignored. 

"Alright, everyone," Alexander said after a moment of silence. "This is a big day, yes, but let's save the feelings for the day when I actually leave, alright?" Alexander's mother then had a moment of realization and said, "Of course! We should get everything all ready for that big day!"

As everyone exchanged goodbyes and the car left, Alexander looked at the school for the first time in person. It looked like it was farther than he originally thought. [i]Well, no reason to wait,[/i] Alexander thought as he walked through the gates. At the track field, he waited in line with all the other students and eventually got to the person at the table. "Name, sir?" the person asked. "Alexander Lee," he replied. "Alright Mr. Lee, you have Class 4. Starts at 10. Don't be late," the person replied back, handing him an envelope with the number "4" on it. Alexander took the letter and headed over to where he was supposed to go.
