"Wow… what is that son!?" James' father stood up and cried out in a very excited tone.
"Baby! What is that!? I am shocked!" His mother stood up as well with the same energy as his father.
"Well… you know Peter right? My music teacher? We always talk about things and he mentioned before that he had a fight with his girlfriend… and… it was his girlfriend that was wrong at that time and he could not make himself admit he was wrong because he was not wrong at all. I used that as an inspiration to this song. What do you think?" He cutely and innocently asked.
"Is that true my son!?" His father wanted to re-confirm this. Why? Because that song was something else, it was as if it hit something deep within him.
As for Jame's mother, she also had the same feeling as her husband when she heard the whole song from start to finish. It was totally new, soft, heavy but different all the same time.
Both could not believe what they just heard and they liked the song!
'Lany's song is all about the feels so I get their reaction, I had that reaction too when I first heard Lany's songs.'
"Yes, Dad. So will you let me graduate highschool? I will take all kinds of exams just to pass everything, what do you think?" He reminded both his parents.
"Ehem… well… let me and your mother discuss this first, is that okay with you?" His father said.
"That is totally fine with me Dad, Mom. Hope it will be a positive one though and I hope to hear it within this week. I'll go back to my room and take a shower. Later Dad, Mom!" He smiled at his parents and then walked back to his room along with his guitar.
'I wonder what their decision will be, sigh, hope it will be a good one.'

The husband and wife also went to their room and then once both were seated in their bed, James' mother held her husband's hand tightly and asked, "Are we really going to let our baby do this plan? It is too risky! He is also skipping his childhood basically if we allow him to do what he wants! I do not want him to be like me, a child that had no childhood experiences in life. I do not want to be like my parents."
James' mother cried on her husband's shoulder while James' father comforted his wife.
"My darling, do not worry, stop crying and let us believe in our son, he is your and my son, he is not a normal child as well, we have known this from the very start when he showed unusual behaviors that are not child-like. He is very mature for his age and I feel like he is not joking at all. His eyes are full of determination, something I only see from the professional traders I have worked with in Wall Street. His conviction is something else, as a 9 year old kid, he is very different from the other kids his age. So, why do not we allow him to do what he wants? We saw his hard work, dedication in learning musical instruments, his determination to perfect his exams and studies, he deserves his wishes to be respected. Let us reward him with that, at the least, right?" He sighed and smiled at his wife after saying all these words.
James' mother nodded and looked at an empty space as if she was thinking of things. But in the end, they both agreed.
However, James must pass all the tests that will be given to him before he could accelerate and graduate highschool. His parents will do the necessary work and he will take them all tests to pass in flying colors or fail them, and study at a normal pace, attending school and all.
—--------------------------------------NEXT SCENE--------------------------------------------------------
After a week, James' parents told him that they accepted his wishes and they will ask the schools in Ocala and Montesori to prepare the necessary things for him to be accelerated and take all the subject exams. Of course, both of his parents paid a lot to the principals of both schools for James to be accommodated properly. The power of money was still at play in these kinds of things.
September came and James was taken to Montesano Jr. Sr. High School to take all the exams.
James exhaled a lot of breathable air and exhaled them all at once. He prepared himself mentally and physically for this day. A whole day of answering test papers.
Good thing, his mind and intellect has been better in this life than in his past so he was confident to perfectly answer any type of questions that are within the high school level of American education, in 1979.
After some time, he and his butler arrived at Montesano Jr. Sr. High School and they were both greeted by the school's faculty. The personnel guided them towards the principal's office where he was told what time to start and the necessary details of when he would pass or fail these exams.
The principal, James, butler and the faculty stood and walked out of the principal's office and went to the exclusive room where he would take the exams.
After arriving in the exam room, he was asked to be seated, and then he saw a few teachers sitting at the front taking notes of him. Though they did not say anything, he knew that they were scrutinizing him because they were asked to prepare exam papers solely for him, though they were paid as well.
Not minding these teachers, he relaxed and waited for the first exam. And when the personnel handed him his first test paper, he saw the details and it was a 7th grade math exam. When the personnel said he could start and have an hour to answer the exam, he started immediately and answered each question asked in the paper.
