NICHOLAS BOOTHMAN
This is insane, Eric thought, sitting in the school
office five minutes early. I’m 52 and I feel like I’m ten.
I’m probably older than the Principal. Eric couldn’t
believe how his body was responding. He was actually
alarmed.
“Mr. Hogan?” Eric stood up. “I’m Daniella Lewis,
vice principal. “Everyone’s ready for you now. Will you
please follow me.” She wore perfectly pressed, simple
clothes and walked with a cane.
A fair skinned woman with a combative look about
her stepped out from behind a strikingly immaculate
glass topped desk.
“Cassidy Cox.” She held out her hand. “Thank you
for coming Mr. Hogan.”
She was short and slender with dark green eyes
and thick dark brown hair with a messy fringe. Eric
shook her hand.
“Ok?” Eric said.
Cassidy Cox carried on. “Let me introduce crisis
worker Helen Lapierre, Regional Police Chief Eamon
Larkin and my vice principal Daniella Lewis.”
Eric nodded at them all and his bowels went weak.
