The thick engine's sound came to a stop denting the gravel beneath. Katherine's day dream to real life when she faced the massive buildings that would be her home for a while.
A security guard helped with Katherine's luggage until she politely smiled him off grabbing her own luggage. The school made Katherine feel small and seeing boys and girls saying their farewells to their families as moms kissed sons cheeks and girls gave their fathers their last hugs.
"Goodbye father." Katherine spoke in a very small voice choking back her sadness feeling teeny tiny to her father as he would just agree to send her away. Katherine turned for a response but all was heard was a loud engine speeding against the gravel and all Katherine saw was a laced gloves hand wave from the driver seat. It was Carla's, gloved hand as she drove off with Katherine's father and her prude son.
Anyone could see the anger radiating off the small girl. A boy standing in the garden of Mary saw Katherine. He saw the back of her head as he lit a cigarette. The tall plants and beautiful flowers hid him from any adult ready to snap the stick between his lips in half and squash it on the ground
He saw Katherine slowly face the school looking dumbfounded as he studied her while she recollected her thoughts. She let out a great big sigh while his ears and everyone else's at the schools entrance heard the next thing the girl said
"THAT BITCH!" She whisper screamed under her breath. Only loud enough for his ears to hear.
He chuckled.
