"Hey sweetie!" Kirsten calls to her son as he throws his bag onto the couch
and flips on the T.V. "How was school?" Seth merely turns the T.V. up
louder to block out his mother's attempt. "I made you favourite for dinner,
home made macaroni and cheese." The silence was worrying her more then ever
now, but Seth just walked up stairs rolling his eyes. "Seth....just talk to
me please!" But it had become to much and Seth turned around and yelled
"Just stay out of my life, k? It doesn't matter all right!" and flew up the
stairs. "No....it's not all right!" Kirsten sighed and poured herself a glass
of wine.
Sandy walks in just in time to hear Seth slam his door, after seeing his wife with a glass of wine, he figures there was another fight. "What happened this time?" But Kirsten just gave a half smile and looked out the window. Sandy turned off the T.V. and finds paper crumpled on the floor. Knowing it is Seth's and he probably shouldn't, Sandy unfolds it and reads: Dear Mr. and Mrs. Cohen, This letter is to inform you that your son/daughter Seth is currently failing his/her class World Issues and Math. A teacher interview is required to plan the next move to your son/daughter in improving their grade so they may stay at our school for the next year. Thank you,
Mr. Woodruff
"Honey, you might want to come and read this." He handed Kirsten the note and watched her face fall as she read it. "I'm getting really worried Sandy, this isn't like him at all! He used to be such a good boy." Another sigh and she tried to remember what a day used to be like with Seth. "Well something has to be done for sure, but right now I've got work to do on this case, so we'll talk some more latter." Sandy grabbed his briefcase and headed to the computer room. "Are you seriously going to leave after this?" She held up the creased note, "I think we have to talk about this more!" She was furious that he wanted to work instead of take care of their son, this wasn't like Sandy either. Was her whole family falling apart? "Sorry Babe, we will deal with this later." And with that he left Kirsten all alone again.
The sound of two kids laughing filled the room and Kirsten just tried to relax. She was watching a home movie of Seth when he was twelve and so happy to just play his video games. "Who's the chick?" Ryan fell down beside Kirsten on the couch out of curiosity. "That is Schyler, Seth's favourite cousin. They used to be inseparable until she moved away with her dad." She stood up and left to the kitchen looking for some food. "So Shyler is your sister's daughter? I find that hard to believe." Kirsten laughed for a second before answering, "That's because it's not true. Schyler is Nicolas' daughter, Sandy's brother. But they got into a fight: something about Sandy living the fake life and selling himself out? I don't really know the whole story, but it's been a while since we've seen him." Ryan tried to picture another person like Sandy for a minute, "So why did Seth and Schyler stop talking?" Kirsten finished her drink before answering "Oh they didn't. She still sends letters all the time, but they've become fewer and further between. But I have a feeling that's more to do with Seth than her, she absolutely loves Seth and since she's an only child she thinks of him as her brother. You should really meet her sometime." Kirsten tried to remember the last time they had seen Schyler but couldn't. "So why don't I meet her now, March Break is coming up, why doesn't she come and stay for a while....maybe even smack some sense into Cohen." Kirsten couldn't believe she hadn't thought of this before, I'll make the call tonight!
