In The Picture

Chapter 1

Eight years later 

Six hours Northwest of New York City

In the small town of Basin

On a Friday Evening in the Middle of August

     "Yes here at Augustus we insure the development of each student under our care Mrs. Anderson and we will happily welcome young Dwight to this new semester." That sentence came from the principal of Augustus private middle school, Mrs. Frankfurt, sounding more monotone, overrehearsed and bland then a warm welcome for a newly enrolled student. Sitting down beside his mother, across from Mrs. Frankfurt's desk, is the 13 year old boy Dwight who looks like he would whether enjoy playing video games, basketball, or getting himself into trouble by doing something any adult would tell him not to do, with a dull facial expression on. "Thank you Mrs. Frankfurt and you can call me Tarnish, no need to be so formal." Said by Tarnish with modesty in her voice and joyful smile. The reason is because she would have never thought that she'll move out of Chicago to New York and have a child going to private school and paying sixteen thousand dallors a semester none the less. 

     "Thank you, but I must decline and call you 'Mrs. Anderson' because it is too personal to call a perant by their first name and I am very sorry, but I am sure your child will receive the best education the state of New York has to offer at the middle school level." And with that declaration Tarnish facial expression did not change, but deep down she wanted to check that stickler of formality for not wanting to be on first name bases, but she conceded in fear of making a scene, "I understand and theirs no need to apologize I'm just not one for being formal I hope you can understand." 

     Dwight gave a slight surpised expression with his moms last words and he thinks to himself, "DAMN! I thought I'll never see mom would give up an argument, she mustn't want to cause trouble for me by giving off a bad impression. She doesn't have to worry about  me." And with that the meeting continued with Mrs. Frankfurt explaining the schools rules and then the interview end.

     After Mrs. Frankfurt wraps up the meeting on Dwight's enrollment and telling them the rules of the school. Dwight and his mother leaves her office with a teacher to show them the campus and Dwight's classes leaving Mrs. Frankfurt alone. "Damn that bitch didn't want to comply at first lucky something made her give in, whatever it was. Can't I just do my job." Mrs. Frankfurt thought to herself, the tried principal then starts to starch and cracks her knuckles saying, "I got one more transfer student in a hour and a half so I got time to relex." As she said that a very alluring woman walks in, making Mrs. Frankfurt spring up from her chair and yell, "JEAN!"

     "Can you lower your voice Kelly? You damn near made me ghost." Said with a smile on her face as she then starts moving to Kelly's desk. "You okay? Are you over worked?" The woman had a thick southern accent.

"Not really its just that the last meeting ove I had was over a new transfer student and the parent wanted to get personal and her son is in the same class as yours."

"Oh I hope him and Noah can become friends then. But she was cute, I hope she doesn't steal you from me." Said with a smug smile.

"No! You're the only one!"

"Oh really what about your husband?" As this is said Jean reaches the desk.

     "Please he doesn't even talk to his own family anymore, all he cares about is the market." Kelly then crosses her arms and gives a pissed off scoff and says, "What man thinks about money when he pays over two hundred thousand in taxes! I don't know if Bob can even get an erection anymore." Said sadly.

"What? Why do you worry about if he has erectile dysfunction when all you have to do is call me?" As Jean said this she hops on the desk and pulls Kelly up on it to then pens her down.
