Gday Guys!
I thought this was a great story so i've decided to post it.
It was part an English assignment based on the movie 'Good Will Hunting'.
Basically it is an extention of the story cast twenty years into the future or sumthing... lets just say time has passed and we are introduced to little Rhiannon Hunting, Will and Skylar's daughter.
Enjoy!.
Ch 1: The Coke Bottle and the Boss
They say that, in life, you are repaid for your good deeds and punished for the bad. Karma has a funny way of coming after you in this life because of what you have done in a past incarnation, you can't escape your fate in which ever life your living. It had been twenty long years since William Hunting had seen his brothers and it will a reunion he will never forget.'Chesterfield, Chesterfield, where the hell is Chesterfield?'
'Ah Dad? It's on the other side.'
'Where Miss Smarty Pants? Show me.' Will flipped, turned and rustled the map out of frustration; he had been staring at that thing for fifteen minutes and had had enough.
'Stop crinkling it. Just give it here.' Rhiannon snatched the map from her dad and began searching for the street; sometimes a new perspective was all you needed. 'Ummm… Ah HA! Here it is, look, right there.' she pointed to an old folk's home on the other side of town.
'Are you sure? I mean there has to be some houses in that area.' Will wasn't so keen on the idea that his older brother Morgan was in a home at his age, there had to be some houses near by.
Rhiannon shrugged 'I don't now…' she edged her small body over the seat to get to the back '…you're the brains of this operation; I'm just here to tell you what to do.' She gave him one of her cheeky smiles as she laid down on her stomach to look for her drink bottle, it had rolled under the seat about an hour ago.
Will smiled; Rhiannon was exactly like her mother Skylar. She had her wit, her looks and that contagious British accent. But Rhiannon had taken after her father in the intellectual department; she had inherited her father's photographic memory and was studying at two levels above the norm. In other words she was smart, extremely smart.
'So…" She had come up for air, giving up on the drink bottle '…when's mum coming?'
Skylar had stayed in California; she got a job at the university that she studied at when she first moved there. She had accepted the job of teaching Advanced Physiology but now with all the classes and lectures she had to give to help the students for their mid terms, she couldn't possibly get away early enough to go with them. So she was meeting up with them in a few days.
It had been Skylar's idea to go back to Wills hometown. She had thought it would be nice idea to go back to Boston for a week or two to go and catch up with old friends and family, and to give Rhiannon and her self a break from school.
Will turned around so he could see her properly 'Good question, when IS mum coming? Well you can ask her that when she gets here.'
'Why would I wait until she got here to ask her when she'd get here? That is just stupid.'
Will chucked at her conclusion 'Exactly, so stop asking about it every time we pull over.' the next second a hamburger rapper hit him in the back of the head '…HEY little miss, do you want me to come back there?' he smiled at her short fuse as he went to grab her leg.
Avoiding his grasp she went for the coke bottle. 'Ok, ok, truce.' Will put his hands up in surrender 'Just put the bottle down slowly and no one gets hurt.' Annoyed Rhiannon threw it in the trunk of their hatchback with a huff.
'Good, now let's go find Morgan.' He started the car and drove off from the curb.
