Honey if there was any other way your father and I would take u in a heartbeat.
Alexandra Jennings stared out the car window into the dense forest and sighed deeply into her phone. "I know, Dad But it still sucks."
"I'm sorry sweetheart," came her father's reply. "But the International Exchange Academy is one of the best schools in the country. They will take good care of you."
Alex only just managed to hold back the word that tried to leap from her tongue straight down the phone line. Take me with you! she wanted to scream. Don't abandon me!
That was exactly what it felt like her parents where doing, even if it wasn't there fault. They'd been offered the opportunity to study under a famous archaeologists - a once in a life time invitation-but there was a catch. They couldn't take anyone with them, witch meant that Alex was being shiped off to a boarding school for the rest of the school year--eight whole months.
And it got worse. Not only were they leaving her behind, they were also to some middle of nowhere dig site in siberia as in Russia which was in a complete communication dead zone.
No phone coverage. No Wi-Fi signal. Not even a postman. Alex literally wouldn't be hearing from them again until they returned at the beginning of June for the summer.
