"Me too, at least we will be able to get away from those mean kids for a couple hours instead of having to ride on the bus with them."
Lexi smiled at her sister and nodded before hearing the voices she dreaded hearing every single day.
"Well, look who is here, ugly 1 and ugly 2," said Danny.
"Just leave us alone already," Lexi said trying not to cry.
Most of the kids at school were nice but Danny, Gina, and John were the worst, they were mean to Lexi and Brielle everyday.
"Why would we do that? It isn't going to stop us from having to see your ugly faces every single day in our school," John said.
"I don't even want to think about seeing your parents," Gina said stepping up to Brielle," they are probably even more ugly than the two of you."
"No their not!" Brielle shouted.
"Hey!," Chase shouted as he came running up to his sisters. "Brielle, Lexi forget these jerks. Go on to class before the principle calls mum and dad."
"Yea, run away scaredy cats!" John shouted.
"Leave my sisters alone, they didn't do anything to any of you!"
"Oh, big bad brother coming to his ugly sisters rescue," Danny said "Maybe you should come to their rescue by having your parents lock them away until they learn how to look appealing to people instead of revolting them."
With that Chase tackled Danny to the ground and began punching him.

A few months had gone by since the girls got their new pets but even though they took fantastic care of them and still loved them they began coming home in terrible moods for some reason and Chase was coming home covered in scrapes and bruises. Anytime we would ask them what was going on they would all shrug, say "nothing", and then go to their rooms.
One day before school let out, which was not long after Luca got home from work (he was now a Squadron Leader) we received a call from the principle at the triplets school.
"Hello Mr and Mrs Abruzzi, this is Principle Lockton. I am calling in regards to your son Chase."
"Is he alright?" I asked suddenly worried that he was sick or hurt.
"Yes, he is fine but I am sorry to say that I am expelling him from our school."
"WHAT!!" Luca shouted "Why?!"
"he has been getting into fights with a couple students here, he sent one to the E.R. today with a broken nose, and he refuses to tell us what has been going on. Our Liason Officer is bringing him home as we speak."
After hanging up with the principle Luca and I talked and made a very simple, quick decision before Chase walked through the door.
"Chase Alexander Abruzzi!!," I said as soon as Chase walked through the front door, "What they hell are you thinking?!"
Chase shrugged and we both knew he was getting ready to say "nothing."
"No! None of that young man!" Luca said becoming more agitated than I had ever seen him "We are NOT going to deal with this ridiculous behavior! You are going to Dribbledine Sports Academy and that is final!"
"But dad!"
"NO! No butts mister, you are going, end of story!"
An hour later the girls came home, upset as usual and not in a good mood. We told them that Chase would be leaving in the morning and why and that is when they both finally broke and told us why he had done what he did.
"You girls should have told us about this before but this still does not change the fact that he was expelled from school and broke a child's nose!"
Brielle got up and ran to her room but Lexi dried her tears and came closer to me.
"Mommy, boarding school is to help Chase right?"
"Yes it is sweetie."
"Well, I know i'm not getting into trouble but could I please go to?"
"Wait, you want to go to boarding school even though you have not caused any problems?"
"Yes I do, please?"
"Why don't you sit here and play with Cleo while Daddy and I discuss it," I said noticing Cleo jumping at Lexi's leg.
Luca and I talked about Lexi's decision for a couple hours before I sadly called Smugsworth Prep School to enroll her
The next morning Brielle hopped onto the school bus upset that her brother and sister where leaving and Lexi and Chase got into the cars and headed for their new schools.
