"Morning!"
"Good morning, father. Do not forget your manners."
"Um- sorry! Good morning, father!"
"Better. Today is your first day of school, correct!"
"Yes! Maria said we gotta leave-"
"Have to."
"... Have to leave in ten minutes!"
"Good. I am sure you will do well. This should all be easy for you."
"Maria says I've g- I have to work hard. So I can do good."
"Do well. And you will do more than do well, sweetheart. You will be the best."
"The best?"
"Of course. You are a Langley, after all. Success is in your blood."
"Maria says there's gonna- going to be lotsa more-"
"Many more."
"Many more kids there and I can make friends!"
"Ivy. ...Be careful."
"Careful?"
"The other children will drag you down to your level if you allow them to. It is important to learn to speak with others, but never forget that you are worth more than them."
"Okay! Um... why?"
"That is a complicated matter. You will understand when you're older."
"Awww. I wanna know!"
"Want to know. All that matters, Ivy, is that you remember that it is so."
"Fiiiiine."
"..."
"I- sorry, Father. I... understand."
"I accept your apology. Your breakfast is ready. Eat quickly. Being late on your first day would be unseemly."
"Okay!"
Ivy shoveled a huge plate of pancakes into her mouth before following Maria out the door, daydreaming about her future new friends.
