We would like to offer your student a place at our boarding school, Mason County Academy (MCA). At our school, your student can complete their high school years and progress to college if they like. Our program helps students get back to school after being expelled (unless, of course, they did something to threaten a peer or staff member.) We understand how hard it can be to get your student back in school. Please reply to this letter as soon as you can for more information. We hope to see your student at MCA. Sincerely, Principal Mallory
I was surprised. I didn’t think there was a school like that. I gave the letter to my mom and raised my eyebrows at her. Confusion grew on her face, and I realized that she didn’t apply for me. Some school found out I was expelled, got my records, and invited me to live there. “Do you want to go?” She asked, arching an eyebrow. I didn’t know. I wasn’t just about to go to a school I knew nothing about. Who knows what it could be like. I didn’t even know where it was. But I did need to get back to school. “Maybe,” I told her. She tilted her head to the side, and bit her lip. She spoke up after a long pause. “I’ll send a letter back.” I nodded and went to my bedroom. I laid down and fell asleep, thinking about the invitation.
