_Chapter 2~The Sudden Pickup_




Later in the day

Abi, Bryson, and Austin trudged toward the bus stop, exhausted from another chaotic school day.

"Can't wait to get home and crash," Austin said, yawning.

"Same here," Abi agreed.

Just as they approached the bus stop, three sleek black cars swooped into the school driveway, surrounding them. The tinted windows rolled down, revealing suited drivers.

"Abi Thompson and brothers, your parents have sent us to bring you home," one driver announced.

Abi's eyes widened. "What? Why?"

The driver's expression remained neutral. "Please, get in. Your parents will explain everything."

The siblings exchanged uneasy glances but reluctantly entered the cars.

As they drove home, Abi's mind whirled with questions. What was going on? Why this sudden change?

When there arrive

Abi, Bryson, and Austin stepped into their home, curiosity and concern etched on their faces.

"Mom? Dad?" Abi called out, dropping her backpack.

Their parents, Rachel and John Thompson, stood in the living room, beaming with excitement. Ms. Patel, the Phoenix Corporation representative, stood beside them.

"Hey, kids! Come on in," John said, opening his arms.

The siblings exchanged uneasy glances but joined their parents.

"What's going on?" Bryson asked, eyeing Ms. Patel.

Rachel smiled warmly. "We have some amazing news. Your father and I have partnered with Phoenix Corporation. It's a game-changer for our family."

Abi's eyes narrowed. "What kind of partnership?"

John's grin widened. "We'll be working closely with Phoenix Corporation on a top-secret project. It'll bring significant financial benefits and—"

"Security measures?" Austin interrupted, noticing the suited drivers lingering outside.

Ms. Patel nodded. "Yes, Austin. Your family's safety is our priority. We'll provide enhanced security, a new home, and specialized education."

Abi's unease grew. "What about our school? Our friends?"

Rachel's expression softened. "We know this is a lot to take in. But trust us, this is for the best. You'll attend an elite private school, tailored to your unique needs."

Bryson frowned. "And what about our lives? Will everything change?"

John's expression turned serious. "Some things will, yes. But we'll navigate this together, as a family."

The siblings exchanged worried glances, sensing their world was about to shift dramatically.

Ms. Patel smiled warmly. "Phoenix Corporation is a cutting-edge tech firm, pioneering innovative solutions for global challenges. Your family's partnership will bring groundbreaking advancements in artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and more."

Abi's curiosity sparked. "That sounds amazing! But what's our role in this?"

Ms. Patel's eyes twinkled. "Your parents' expertise in engineering and research will drive these projects forward. And you three—"

Bryson raised an eyebrow. "Us? What do we have to do with it?"
 
Well you guys are there're children so we have to provide good environment nd facilities

Austin's face lit up. "That sounds cool! But what about our school?"

Ms. Patel nodded. "Your new school will offer specialized programs, preparing you for leadership roles in tech and innovation. You'll make lifelong connections with like-minded peers."

Abi's concerns began to fade. "This sounds... actually really cool."

Bryson grinned. "Yeah, maybe this partnership thing isn't so bad."

Their father beamed. "I knew you'd see the potential! This is a dream come true for our family."

As they discussed the partnership's benefits, Abi's mind whirled with excitement. Maybe this sudden change wouldn't be so bad after all.

Just then, Ms. Patel's phone buzzed. "Excuse me, I need to take this."

As she stepped away, Abi whispered, "Guys, do you think this is really going to change our lives?"

Bryson whispered back, "Looks like it. But at least it's for the better."

Austin chimed in, "And who knows, maybe we'll invent something revolutionary!"

Bryson smile at Austin, we or mum nd dad and "You with that brain no way"

Wait do you think I can't invent something "Austin replied "

Bro, is impossible. Abi said and laughed

Abi rolled her eyes, laughing. "You're an empty can , Austin."

The siblings shared a warm smile, embracing the uncertain but thrilling future ahead.

Abi bounced into her room, excitement radiating from every pore. "Yes! We're going to be rich!" she squealed, spinning around.

She flopped onto her bed, grabbing her phone to call her best friend, Emily.

"Emily! You won't believe what just happened!" Abi exclaimed.

Emily's voice chimed in, "Try me! What's up?"

Abi took a deep breath. "My family partnered with Phoenix Corporation. We're getting a new house, fancy cars, and everything!"

Emily squealed. "That's amazing! Congratulations!"

Abi's enthusiasm faltered. "Yeah... but there's a catch. We have to leave our school."

Emily's tone turned sympathetic. "Aww, Abi, I'll miss you so much! But this is an incredible opportunity. You'll thrive in that new school."

Abi's heart swelled with gratitude. "Thanks, Emily. You're the best. I'll stay in touch, promise."

Emily laughed. "Better! We'll Facetime each other every day." And you most tell me all the things that going on and you let me visit you

Yea, you can come and visit whenever you like the doors are always open for you . Abi replied

As they chatted, Abi's excitement returned.

"I have to go, Emily. My mom needs me."

"Okay, but keep me posted on everything. And don't forget, we're having a going-away party!"

Abi grinned. "Can't wait!" But maybe just me and you . We can just go out

Okay it's also good ,

Yea I need to do something bye, Abi said

Bye , Emily replied

Abi ended the call, feeling bittersweet.

She looked around her room, realizing she'd soon be leaving this life behind.

But the thrill of the unknown won out.

She grinned. "Bring on the new adventures!"
