'Shannon went to the window continuing to listen.

“Man, you don’t know how much this sucks,” Jax grumbled.

“I know bud, it’s a hard one. Really lay into it tomorrow. It’s crucial.”

Tanner came up and slapped her hands down on the counter, “What up?”

“What are they talking about?” Shannon asked her.

Tanner looked back at them.

Tony trying to ease Jax’s frustration.

“Oh, Chaz.”

“The Dog?”

Hello,For those of you who are new, I hope you enjoy.If you've already read some of these, I'm glad you're back.It's been terrible for building trust and invites all sorts of nonsense, but my lack of presence is better for new readers to get into the story and character. So I'm elusive for that reason, mostly.If you're interested in getting to know me, forgive us, you can check my other social media for that, but I'm afraid you won't find much at the moment. I keep putting it off.Some of these are quick easy reads I hope will leave you laughing or with some sort of satisfied wonder (I know. I'm finishing them.) Others are over stylized with complex plot structures that require inquisition.I can't promise you'll like everything I write, but you'll know (for the most part) what you're getting into.Complex issues, simple themes. Characters opinions are their own.If you like any of them please share. I appreciate every one of you who have.

Shannon Sumner, Dean Gerowitz called out from stage, holding up her diploma bound in a red leather booklet.

The 24 year old blonde, hot under her ceremonial gown, her pale face flush, her palms sweating even though she’d doubled up on her morning run to combat the occurrence, missed it causing the woman around her to giggle as they ceased their congratulatory clapping.

Caught off guard feeling the nudge from the woman next to her stood up, her quick smile couldn’t conceal how pissed off she was.

Exactly what she didn’t want happening.

The Limousine parked conspicuously at the front of the parking lot has gained attention leaving most girls to questioning ‘who’s’ and why the grand gesture at a school that tends toward modesty.

She wasn’t going to wait around while the word spread, if it hadn’t yet. Luckily she’d said most her goodbyes and the rest would understand at least.

Her family’s excuse for not being there, she’d chalked it up as being just another one of her degrees, but this just wouldn’t have the same impact.

The Great-Granddaughter of Walter Shay the founder of Gallant Studios, a relatively small but one of the last from the golden era to remain independent.

Her family has had little to do with the studio
