Preface
Rory Hoisted his backpack onto his shoulder as he walked tiredly, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, through the passageway from the plane to the airport. He'd studied hard andearned his acceptation to spend his Junior and Seniour school year studying at Dalton Academy in Westerville Ohio. From the airport he would join a volunteer pair of students from the school. Collecting his things from the carousel he ventured out where he found two guys holding a sign with his name on it.
"Hi, I'm Rory."
"Nice to meet you," the taller of the two replied. He had blonde hair that flopped down, just above his left eye. "I'm Jeff Sterling," he introduced himself shaking Rory's hand.
"I'm Nick Duval," the brunette beside him said smiling.
"Nice to meet you fellas. I'm well excited about Dalton. It can't be worse than where I'm from."
"Come on," Nick said, swinging a bag from the trolley onto his shoulder, "my truck's this way."
