Operation Wait For the Right Time

Chapter two

The first day of school wasn't too bad, except for he was in that we're as low as he could be in until they knew where he was intellect wise. He was given a standard test to see where he belonged for each subject. Even though he had lived in a small town, Henry was a very bright kid. Of course, he had gotten his clever mischievous side from his father. However, he mixed his mischievousness with his actual intellect and that is how he figured out the history within the book. With each class came that subjects standardized test.

By the time Henry got to The Lester's house he was exhausted. The Mrs. Lester stayed at the house and greeted the kids when they got home. Being fifteen Henry was a freshman in High School. He was no exception to the teenage boy snacking. He went up stairs and put his bag on his bed before heading into the living room where Mrs. Lester sat plying with Neal. Henry walked over and smiled at his uncle.

"How was your first day of school, Henry? Did you make any friends?" Mrs. Lester asked when she noticed his presences.

"I just had a lot of placement tests and everything, since they couldn't find anything on me for school. I kept to myself all day," he added the last part with a shrug. "Can I get a snack?"

"Of course dear, mi casa es tu casa," Mrs. Lester smiled.

Henry smiled and headed into the kitchen. Sitting on the counter top in a nice bowl sat bright red apples. He turned away from the apples and searched the kitchen and familiarized himself with the set up as well. Finding the peanut butter and bread, Henry slapped together a peanut butter sandwich and ate it. After his snack he wasn't sure what to do. He was so used to having homework after school, he was lost.

That night the entire house sat at the table for dinner, "Well, since this is our first real meal with our newest members why don't we go around and introduce ourselves!" Mrs. Lester said as they all ate. No one really made an attempt to start it, "Nick, why don't you start? Then we will go clockwise," mrs. Lester decided.

The big blonde that Henry had to share a room with continued eating. He began talking with food in his mouth causing Henry to cringe in disgust. Through the food and with Nick's lack of grammar he said, "'M Nick. I haven't ever met my parents and I play video games."

"I'm Madeline, I was put in the foster system when I was three. This is my fourth home," said the petite red head next to Nick. She was a freshman too, she had told Henry who to avoid before she had parted ways with him to go to her classes.

Next was Mr. Lester, both adults had introduced themselves to him last night so it was the eight year old, dirty blonde haired, girl, "My name is Elise, I never met my family," her voice was so soft that Henry had to strain his ears to hear her.

Next was Henry, taking a deep breath he started, "My name is Henry. The only reason why I am here is because my family has gone missing."

It was silent for only a moment before Nick stopped eating for a minute. He locked his eyes with Henry's before a devious smirk crosses his face. Henry sat there waiting for whatever was about to happen. For some reason Henry had this sense of fear wash over him, he hadn't felt this since he was ten. The sense of fear he would get when he knew his mother was angry, the anger that made him fearful of what was going to happen to him.

"Maybe, your books have the answer, Nerd. According to your notes they do, Mr. Fairytale boy. Why don't you go ask Grandma Snow White? She tell you all your problems can be solved with singing," the big guy taunts.

Henry grips his fork until his knuckles turned white. The other two kids are looking between the boys. Mr. and Mrs. Lester are glancing at each other silently asking each other what they should do. Henry was infuriated, the big brute just grinned at Henry. Henry knew the idiot had gone through his things the only question is when, he was playing video games until sometime after Henry finally went to bed.
