The girls were taking a working lunch break as they sat on the half wall and bench under it. The SATs were Saturday and they were spending every second they could to study for it. But, right now, they were grading the practice tests they all took.
"For Eric in the English portion he got a 620. For math he got a 415. So, a combined score of 1,035." Genevieve tells them as Rosalie wrote it down in the chart they made to keep track of everyone's progress.
Jason and Eric saw it as a score sheet and we're competing to see who would get the best scores.
"Jason for the English portion got a 600. But, for math he got a 515. A combined score of 1,115." Vanessa tells the girl as she wrote it down.
"The math portion is going to kill Eric." Rose says with a sigh as she looked at the chart.
"Who's got the highest score so far in math?" Genevieve asks her.
"Vanessa with her amazing 750." Rose says as the beautiful girl gracefully brushed her hair back.
"Thank you." She says with a smile. "And I'll help Eric study for the math portion. You just keep up the work with his English." Vanessa tells her and she nods.
"Rosie Harris, is that you?" The girl hears making her look behind her.
"Mr. Hunter, hi." She says a bit awkwardly as she stood up. "What are you doing here?" She asks as he walks over to her.
"I came by for Shawnie's career day. But, now I got to talk to him about something. Do you happen to know where that boy is?" He asks as he put his hands on his hips.
"He should be in the cafeteria eating lunch. Is everything okay?" She asks suspicious of the man's need to tell his son whatever it is during school.
"Do you remember how he would sit with you after your mother left? You guys would just sit for hours at the park and not say a word." He asks her and she nods.
"Yeah. Yeah, I remember." She tells him as she held her books to her chest. "What's going on?"
"Virna left with the house." He tells her quickly in a whispered like tone and she nods not fully taking it in. "I got to go tell Shawn. See you around, Rosie." He tells her hitting her shoulder and walking away.
"What did he say?" Genevieve asks as Rose sat back down.
"Something about Mrs. Hunter leaving with the house, I think." She says a bit confused before it hit her. "Oh, crap!" She says before tossing her notebook onto the bench and running after the man.
"I'm parked in his spot, ain't I?" Mr. Hunter says as the girl got into the cafeteria.
"Mr. Feeny, I can explain." Shawn says as the girl walks up.
"Please do."
"Go ahead."
"Uh, you're Feeny, too?" Mr. Hunter says to Mr. Feeny.
"I'm Feeny one." Mr. Feeny says annoyed by the man.
"Mr. Feeny, this is my dad." Shawn tells him as Rose stood by the boy.
"Oh, Yes, well, uh, we're very proud of Shawn." Mr. Feeny tells the boys father.
"I'm surprised to hear you say that." Mr. Hunter tells the older man.
"So am I." Mr. Feeny says making Rose smirk as she looks at the older man before he walks away.
"Hey, Shawnie, Shawn's friend." Mr. Hunter greets his son and best friend.
"So, Dad, what's going on?" Shawn says his father as he glanced at Rose before looking back at his father.
"Uh, look buddy, Did you kiss your mom this morning?" He asks his son.

"Uh-huh." Shawn tells him as Rosalie crossed her arms.
"Good. 'Cause it's gonna have to last you for a while." Chet tells him making Rose glare at him a bit.
"What do you mean?" Shawn asks confused as Rose dropped her arm and grabbed the boys hand.
"Your mother, she took off."
"Oh, just go home and wait. She always comes back." Shawn tells him and Rose shakes her head.
"Shawn." Rose says making him look at her. "It's different this time. She took the house." She tells him and he looks at his father.
"Maybe she went to get it washed." Cory suggests making them look at him.
"Yeah." The older man says.
"So, what are we gonna do?" Shawn asks his father.
"We're going to go after her." Chet says and Rose shakes her head.
"Woah, no way, Shawn can't just skip school like that." Rose says standing up for the boy.
"I mean, I can, but shouldn't I tell somebody?" Shawn says making Rose send the boy a glare.
"Okay, but I gotta run before that little guy with the mustache has a duck." Chet says before moving to Cory.
"You. Your father, the cantaloupe man. He's good people. Mark my words." He tells Cory before leaving.
"Shawn, you okay?" Cory asks the boy as Eric and Jason walk up to them.
"Why wouldn't I be okay?" Shawn asks him. "Oh, you mean because my mom drove our home away?" He says as Rose looks at Eric before the bell rings.
"Shawn, listen to me." She tells the boy making him look at her. "You always have a room at the house. So, you call me or just show up and we'll get the bed ready for you. If you need anything, you call me and I'll be there in seconds." Rose tells him and he nods.
"I know." He smiles at her before walking away.
"He'll be okay." Eric tells her as he put his hand on her shoulder.
"Eric, if she doesn't come back." She starts and he turns her around.
"He's got you, Kayce, and Olivia, he'll be okay." He tells her as he held her hands. "He can get through anything with you by his side."

"Five minutes." Olivia says as she gave Nick some cold medicine.
While, all the teenagers sat at the kitchen table taking another SAT practice exam. Before the timer goes off, the house phone starts ringing.
"I got it." Rosalie says as she stands up and picks the phone up.
"Hello." She says putting the phone to her ear.
"Hey, Rose. Dad gave me a little money, so, I got motel room at the one down the street from Mr. Turner." He tells her and she puts her pencil behind her ear.
"You mean the one on 7th?" She asks as she looks over at Olivia.
"Yeah, that one." He says and she shakes her head.
"Where are you right now?" She asks him as she walks over to pick up her keys.
"At the pay phone around the corner." He tells her and she nods.
"Okay, stay there, I'm on my way." She tells home before hanging up the phone.
"Is he alright?" Olivia asks and the girl nods.
"He's fine but, I'm not leaving him in that motel." Rose tells her as she walked out of the kitchen. "I'll be back before dinner." She tells her as she walked out the front door.
