The following was written for a challenge called #SixSentenceStory over at Denise’s. This week’s prompt word is “Therapy”.
My story is ongoing and I began writing it on March 18th. It is about a boy by the name of Pete Patterson. During a random locker check a bag of pot was found in Pete’s locker. If you’d like to read this from the beginning, it starts here.
“I’m not at liberty to say.”
Pete’s dad’s blood was starting to boil, “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“In order for me to answer you, I will have to get the Wilkinson’s permission first.”
“Oh my God this is turning into a three-ring circus and I’m getting sick of this. If we do not get answers soon, you will need therapy!”
Taylor looked a little piqued and took this as a threat.
*********************************************
“Now, now, let’s not, let’s not, be like that, we can surely rectify this matter, it’s just going to take a little more time is all. No one is going to need therapy. How about everyone go home, for now, I’ll talk again to the Wilkinson’s, and hopefully, we can get this all sorted out. I’ll have my secretary call you and we can set up another appointment and talk.”
“The sooner the better.” Pete’s dad said and headed towards the door.
As the Patterson’s were leaving Jane decided she’d call Emma Wilkinson and see if she could find anything out.
To be continued …
good installment (the double Six is a time-honored tradition) as sometimes we Readers need to see the branching of the narrative… i.e. whatever Principle Knucklehead might do, but my money’s on Pete’s mom to get this thing resolved.*
*they’ll never know what hit them, if she starts to feel like they’re threatening Pete
