Chapter 8: An Altercation
Aaron entered the living room, dressed in his school uniform, ready for his first day of school.
He noticed that Ivan was ready for his job as a professor at MIT in a sharp navy blue suit as well, sipping a cup of coffee.
While Annette was still in her bed-clothes consisting of an over-sized gray sweatshirt and sweatpants, hunched over the table, nursing a hangover.
Ivan downed the rest of his coffee and got up from the table. "Ready for your first day?" he asked Aaron.
"Won’t Mother be late? Her school starts today as well" asked Aaron, looking at Annette’s form slumped over the table.
"I took the liberty of calling the school and letting them know she is sick," said Ivan, shaking his head at Annette’s slumped-over form.
He tossed Aaron the keys to the BMW M5. "You drive till we reach St. Ignatius" he said.

Aaron carefully pulled into the St. Ignatius Academy parking lot, and was about to get out, when a silver Mercedes-Benz convertible screeched to a halt in front of the BMW M5, blocking their exit.
A girl wearing a silver hoodie and white yoga pants instead of the uniform, got out and marched towards the driver side of the BMW M5.
"You in my spot!" she snarled at Aaron as he partially rolled down the window.
