Hollows Hill

(The Sequel to Incomplete)

Chapter One – Chapman Preparatory

"Dad, We're going to be late!" Joshua said in his school Uniform. Josh with blazing green eyes, brown hair, and tall, stood in a blue blazer with a white shirt and tie under it. He had a more of a developed athletic body then most sixteen year olds his age, and a charming smile. On the left shoulder the name "Chapman" was in a coat of arms. Taking out his wallet making sure he had his school I.D. he put it back in his black pants.

"DAD!" Josh yelled.

"Okay, I am here." Chris said running down the stairs. Chris and Josh lived an old classic Victorian home in a small town of Hollows Hill in the State of Connecticut. Chris came running down in jeans, white shirt, and shoes. "You have everything?"

"Just except a ride." Josh replied.

"Okay, yeah you need that huh?" Chris said reaching the base of the stairs and grabbing a slim black leather jacket from the coat rack.

"Yes."

"Okay let's go." Chris said, they both walked into the entrance way of the house, Chris grabbed his Car keys, they walked out the front door. As he locked the door behind him, Josh was already waiting by their old black Chevrolet Truck.

"When are we getting rid of this thing?"

"What thing?" Chris said walking down the steps.

"This thing, the monster." He replied looking at the truck.

"This monster is our only source of transportation."

"Yeah, but it's filling the air with smog and carbon monoxide."

Chris pressed the button on the car keys and unlocked the Car, "Yeah well, I like it." He smiled at his son, putting on his sun glasses.

"Uh huh." Josh said getting in.

As they both got into the truck, Chris turned on it on, and they drove out of the drive way and into the small town's main road. As they pulled down the stone drive way they pulled into the street and down into town.
"So you excited?" Chris asked his son, "New school, new friends, you're a sophomore! My little boy is growing up."
Josh rolled his eyes, "Yeah, yeah. I am just glad to have tested out of High School, I can't stand people who are trying to hard to be someone their not."
"Ahh, well you're going to see more of that in school." Chris said. "So what kind of classes are you taking this year?"
"Uh," Josh said opening his jacket and taking out a small piece of paper which was his schedule. "Uh, English Literature, Algebra Two Honors, Chemistry, World Cultures, Football, Accounting, and Latin."
"Latin! You're taking Latin. I thought you were taking Spanish."
"No, Spanish is boring, I want something more fun."

"Uh huh." Chris replied looking at his son, "I swear only you can have fun looking in a book."
"Oh no, don't put the smart ass on me again, if I recall you told me you were looking at IVY League as well, when you were my age."
"Yeah I was." Chris replied.

The rest of the ride to Chapman Preparatory, they were debating the State of the Union address that was on TV the night before. Of Coarse, Josh had analyzed everything the president said and was always up to date on political events so he corrected his father on everything he tried to disapprove of the President.
A few moments later, they pulled up to a big stone, wall with grand black iron gates with a big "C" in the middle of it. Chris drove into the driveway only to be stopped by a student with long red hair and pale white skin. She was obliviously a student, and not a friendly one at that.
"Name of the Student please, NOW!" She snapped.
"Okay, calmed down, Joshua Halliwell."
"Halliwell, Halliwell," She said to herself looking down the list, "Found it, thank you. Please park and have you're papers ready. NOW MOVE!"
"Okay," Chris said they drove more forward and parked in a parking spot. "We're here."
"Yay." Josh said with a sarcastic tone. They both got out of the car, and looked up at the school. It was an old fashioned New England Style school, it had a tall bell tower in the front with the Chapman coat of arms hanging from the arches in the bell tower. There was also another building that laid below it, looked more like the front of a cathedral, and then it went to left, for about the length of a football field.
"Big." Josh said.
"Very big." Chris replied. The both of them walked to right below the bell tower to table with another blonde student who had a sign saying "Hall-Lee" on it. Chris signed Josh into Chapman. Josh took out his id, to show to the girl.
"Okay, you're in. Here is your final schedule, and you're first class in the Labs, just go straight, and second hallway to your right. Have fun."
"Thank you." Josh and Chris replied. As the both of them walked up the stone steps into the building, they walked through the large arched "old" looking doors and into the main building. They dropped their jaws at what they saw. To the main left were the offices, and two wings to the left, but in the middle of the building was a massive courtyard, with Spanish influences. They walked up to the courtyard, that had a bronzed man, standing above a fountain and a garden around the man. The garden was massive with every flower and color native to Connecticut. They saw a second floor that was above them, and students socializing.
"I thought this was an in door school." Josh said, "Oh well."
With that a bell echoed through out the halls, "We got to go." Josh said, he went to the second wing and it said in a silver sign "Science Laboratories."
"Lab, 201A" Josh said looking at his schedule. Josh and Chris walked to the first room on his right. "Here it is." Josh then turned around and looked at his father.
"Alright, so are you sure you're going to be okay?"
"Yeah, its fine, how bad can these spoiled rich brats be?" Josh said smiling.
"Alright, I'll be here at 2:30." Chris replied.
"Okay, Bye Dad!" Josh said walking in the room.
