School Ties: The Next Generation
Note: I do not own School Ties. The characters of Sally Wheeler, David Greene and all others who have appeared in the movie are owned by their production company, Paramount Pictures. I also don't own the name "St. Matthew's Academy" or "The Overbrook School" as it appeared in the movie and the tie-in novel. The 1980's St. Matthew's-Overbrook School characters, however, are owned by me.
Summary: We all know that David Greene attended St. Matthew's, a well- renowned prep school for his senior year on a football scholarship. David graduated from St. Matthew's in 1956 with honours and went on to Harvard, where he majored in politics, and eventually continued on to law school. Graduating in 1963, he was called to the bar soon after, and soon after that, married Sally Wheeler, a girl he met at a dance when he was attending St. Matthew's. They soon had children. Aaron came first, in 1969 and Rochelle two years later, in 1971. It is now 1985, and Rochelle is about to join her older brother at the recently co-ed St. Matthew's (now renamed St. Matthew's-Overbrook School after merging with her mother's alma mater). This is a story about Rochelle and her roommate, Katherine, who has a deep and dark secret.
It was a bright and sunny September afternoon in 1985 when the Greene family pulled up to campus. It was Aaron's junior year, and he was very excited as he had been appointed an assistant house head for his dorm. That increased his chances of getting a prefect position the following year, depending on how well his grades were, and how well respected he was by the other students. His little sister, Rochelle, was about to start her freshman year. The Greenes had considered sending her to St. Matthew's for the seventh grade so that she could be with her brother, but decided that twelve was a little too early to be sent away. So off Aaron went to St. Matthew's-Overbrook in 1983. Like his father, Aaron became popular as soon as he moved into his dorm room. He was the "cool one" with the Star Wars and Michael Jackson posters, and he got all the girls. After all, he was already 6 foot even at 14 years of age, and could easily pass for 18. The girls loved him. Rochelle, however, was a very different sort. At 14, she was still very tiny, under 5 feet tall and under 100 lb. Her mother would tell her that she'd soon mature into a beautiful woman. After all, Sally too was a "late bloomer".
Aaron got out of the car and pulled his stuff out and ran up to his friends. He soon disappeared. He knew that his parents would be helping Rochelle settle down, and wouldn't be with him.
"I'll see you later!" he shouted to his sister
David and Sally took Rochelle to her dorm building, Chamberlain House, named after one of the early bursars of the old Overbrook. It was a new building, not 5 years old, so to house the new girls that were coming into the school. Rochelle was to move into room 231 with a girl named Katherine Brower.
