Tainted By Love

3. The Chambers

Calm. Cool. Collected. At least they were on the inside. Students cleared away as two metallic monsters came driving into the school parking lot. Their riders were a middle aged woman with short black hair and fixing eyes and a teen boy with snowy hair and elegant eyes.

A small blonde girl rode behind the woman as she leaned over and cut the engine. It was Alyssa, Alyssa Chambers, a caring and compassionate woman with a maternal streak for fostering and adopting young abandoned teens. Molly and Timber were no exception.

As a teen herself Alyssa had hoped for a child until she found out she was infertile and unable to conceive. Lucky for her just a few years later adopting for single women became legal and she began her foster home. A now recognized manor building used primarily for raising children from dark backgrounds.

Cutting the engine himself, Timber dismounted the motorcycle and smiled at the woman he'd always called mother. His little sister reached out her hand and he accepted the warmth of her hug.

Timber: be good Molly, see ya later mum.
Alyssa: go kick some ass!

Timber turned back with a wink and two finger guns, an inside joke from when he was 4 and used to play cops and robbers with Alyssa.

Timber: you know it! Have a good day!
Alyssa: you too, don't forget to text me when you want picking up.
Timber: don't worry, I got this!

And off he ran, towards the Admin office unaware of the tall elegant teen he would soon bump into with his headstrong attitude and fiery personality.

Not even the rain could slow Timber down, witha spring in his step he raced into the building, eager to start his journey to success. He knew all he had to do was study hard and keep his head down.
