CHAPTER 2

 

He could feel the sun beating down on the nape of his neck as he walked through the Terrance Middle School parking lot out to his 93 dark green Saturn. He knew he made the right choice by taking a pay cut to influence the lives of the Baltimore city kids. Everything felt right but it wasn't. Vincent had no idea what these kids that he thought were so innocent had in store for him. He would be the best math teacher those 7th graders would ever come across. He got into his car and fastened his seatbelt then briefly mulled about some things of his past. When he was in the 7th grade he found a way to get expelled. His grandmother had given him a radio controlled car which he took apart and figured out how to detonate firecrackers by remote control. He had hid a circuit board,antenna,and firecrackers under the stair well and then detonated them. It was just a harmless prank but the school was very upset. Fortunately for Vince, Theresa had paid to have his juvenile record sealed. These thoughts from his childhood were quickly forgotten as he pulled out of the parking lot.

When he walked through the threshold of his duplex apartment he could smell the pork roast in the oven. Cindy, his wife, was in the den surfing the internet.

"Honey is that you?"

"Yes babe. I got the job." replied Vinny Cindy came out to greet her husband.

"You look terrific." She said, " But I think you look better without the glasses."

Vincent removed the thick black framed glasses from his face. He looked like a young sharp cunning lawyer on his very first case. He stood 6ft. 4in. tall, 195 pounds of lean muscle, and sported neatly combed dark brown hair. His eyes were piercing and meaningful and desiring nothing but virtuous success. Cindy caressed his baby smooth face thanks to the shick Quatro, a razor with 4 blades.

"You look pretty good yourself." He said then kissed his wife on the lips.

Cindy had short blond hair and big puckered lips that could suck the life right out of you. Vinny liked women with big lips because they made better kissers. After they were finished smooching Cindy set the plates and they enjoyed the pork roast dinner. Cindy made a lot of money at being a dentist so they were going to do just fine. They celebrated Vinny's new job with a bottle of Merlot and some chocolate mousse. Life was good to the Young's and it could only get better, or so they thought.
