Note: Trying something new that's been in my head for a while. I am still working on Ch. 4 and two other projects I hope to have thru the summer. Tell me what you think. I would love feedback to improve my writing skills. Enjoy.
ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
Penelope Matthias sits in her office reading documents that has been placed in front of her all day or left in her inbox. Even though this is her second year as principal of Granville T. Woods High School, the challenges get more and more during. But she loves it. In the background, her Bluetooth speaker announces the interview of one of her former students. She grabs her phone, turns up the volume and hurries thru her paperwork. She smiles thinks back not too long ago when Kai used to roam these halls.
"So, Kai everybody knows your story how does it feel...."
"First off, your starting this interview wrong. What's my name again?"
"My apologies, KiSS. How does it feel to be the most sought-after player in the major leagues?"
Kai Sarid Simmons was a young black kid who made a name for himself in the worst way at Granville T. Woods. Would start fights with older/ bigger students, stealing, arguments, etc. He went to college on a baseball scholarship and has been considered one of the greatest baseball players to come out of college. He's about to become the richest 22 yr. old in the major leagues.
Penelope was a transfer from a previous school and taught history. No one knew why she transferred, but rumors were that her husband was the principal at her previous school, and he was cheating on her. It's never been confirmed so it died quickly. She was stern, but fair. She was an excellent problem solver and quickly became liked by teachers. She was a medium height woman, but with a towering demeanor. She was in her late twenty's/ early thirties when she transferred to Granville. She had smooth, dark chocolate skin that looks tasty enough to lick. She had soft, green eyes that puts you in a trance if you stare too long. High cheek bones and natural hair that get curly when it gets wet. Thick in the waist and wears it proudly. Round ass that she noticed some of her male students check out whenever she wrote on the board. So, when Kai was brought into the office and the then principal was about to expel him for the year, Penelope stepped in and offered a solution. She started an afterschool/mentoring program that does community service in the neighborhood. Kai protest but soon after loved being in the program. It was the program that Kai found out that he had talent for sports, especially baseball. Penelope giggled.
