The car stopped at the school’s driveway where two brick walls held black iron gates that opened to a big European building. There were vast lawns with trees on both sides of the long drive, and small benches where placed on the foot of every tree. At the end of the driveway was a rotunda where cars circled around to drop off students. The rotunda held a big statue of an old sage, with a long beard holding the shoulders of a young kneeling graduate. The sage looked as if it was imparting knowledge on the student he held by the shoulders and at its bottom laid an engraved silver plaque which read “The Prentice high school of Greenville, Massachusetts”
“Miss Robyn, I will fetch you at exactly four in the afternoon because according to your grandmother, your meeting starts at four thirty.” Terry said at a rather formal tone as he opened the car door to drop Robyn off, and as if to lighten the mood he continued in a laughing manner. “Do you plan on being late again this time my dear?”
“Nope” Robyn began despondently “not today Terry, its time I get this over with”
“Why give up now?” Terry asked with a look of concern in his eyes, “It’s not as if you cant escape your grandmother again?” he continued remembering the 20 or so successful attempts Robyn had undergone defying her grandmother.
“Its not about escaping her, its about doing what she wants.” Robyn explained while walking towards the school’s entrance, “She won’t stop at nothing until all this is over, so I guess I can’t be stubborn about it forever”
“As you wish, Miss Robyn” Terry concluded with a sigh as he watched Robyn enter the large foyer and push the doors shut.
School was something that unlike other students Robyn enjoyed greatly. It was where she experienced different emotions she was banned from experiencing at home, like love and friendship. In school Robyn befriended everyone, and her cheerful disposition gained her lots of friends and acquaintances. But what she liked most about school was that it didn’t have the same sullen atmosphere that emanated from home. In school she could be herself and pretend there was nothing wrong with life.
“Today is another Sinclair day I presume!” A young petite girl with auburn curls came gliding down the staircase leading to the school’s classrooms.
“Nice guess Emma. Good Morning!” Robyn took on Emma’s side and walked along the huge hall where students are supposed to wait before the morning bell rang.
Emma Arson had been Robyn’s best friend for almost forever. They went to the same elementary schooling in Greenville Learning Academy and never left one another’s side until high school. They were truly an eye-catcher amongst the students, one a glamorous red-head with rich curls that matched her fine face, the other a slightly taller figure with beautiful honey colored hair that accented an exquisitely sweet visage. But what made them stand out with more distinction was their disposition. Both carried smiles everywhere and their charm allowed more smiles to wander on campus.
“Your going!? Emma said with a look of genuine terror in her eyes, “Are you out of your mind?”
“Not today, its time I get things over and done with!” Robyn said with a rather great conviction that made Emma realize her decision had already undergone plenty of thought.
Emma nodded “Remember, if ever you change your mind you can always take my car –“
“No need Ems.” Robyn cut in, “I’m already sure of this.”
“Oh Alright” Emma finished with a sigh “if you say so”
