Chapter 68
.
On Saturday August 27th Eve and her father began driving back home to New Jersey. Eve was still excited about having met the president of the united states. More than just shaking his hand, she might have actually influenced his decisions. Eve seemed to be on cloud 9. Zack decided to talk about certain things, while Eve was still in a good mood.
.
Zack: That old grocery store clerk, Ed, passed away. Heart attack.
Eve: That's a shame, he was a good guy. I know he seemed like a jerk sometimes, but the way those idiots treated him, can't say I blame him.
Zack: Principal Harris has been demoted to vice-principal. The schoolboard is bringing in someone new. They're becoming more strict about cutting classes, cheating on tests.
Eve: I'm done with all that nonsense, I swear.
Zack: Good. I doubt they'll count last year against you, too many students did all that. You should be fine as long as you don't do it again. Anyway, you know how Ravenwood is building private shelters?
Eve: Yeah, why?
Zack: I'd like to try and get you a spot in one of these shelters. You'll have a better chance if you work at the company before-hand. I was thinking, I can get you a part-time job as secretary. Would that be something that you'd be interested in?
Eve: Sure, I can do that. I'm good at typing, have a pleasant phone voice. I'm in.
Zack: Good. School starts in ten days but they'll work around your schedule.
Eve: Cool. Anything else I should know?
Zack: Nothing that can't wait.
