Learning To Love Rivers

Chapter 1

ChapterOne

KoleChambers sat at the back of the hall. Looking at the principal talkto a select few students. Kole never really liked his principal, hetalked too long and looked like he'd done somethings with teenagegirls. Inappropriate things. It may have been the mans Pedo beard, orthe way he'd stand too close to girls, and some boys. It could alsobe because he looked at girls with a weird and sick look. It may alsobe because the man was Kole's step father – a man he never liked tobegin with.

Hewas pulled from his thoughts when people started to move out of thehall, luckily for him he knew what was going on. His step-fatherspoke to him that morning, telling the boy not to get in trouble andto be on his best behaviour or there'd be hell to pay. Kole was usedto Henry's threats. Henry didn't scare Kole, it was hard for peopleto scare him. The only person he was afraid of was his mother.

Kolewent onto the bus and sat next to a girl – Riley. She had straightbrown hair, pulled up into a high pony tail, her figure wasn't slim,it was realistic, she didn't wear make-up but she had clear darkskin. He didn't speak to her, she made no attempt to speak to him.None of Kole's friends were on the internship that the schoolorganised with Rivers and Co. meaning he was all alone. He knew Henryused the excuse to get him out of the school without suspending him.

Kolealmost laughed when he found out his step-father chose him. It was abig risk for Henry to send Kole to an office building. Kole could getin more trouble there, then he ever could at school. The internshipwas to last three weeks, it also held the possibility of a jobopportunity for a lucky student. Many of the 'over-achievers' thoughtthat they would automatically get the job. Only problem was, theywere all over achievers.

Henrywas going to stay for the first couple of days to make sure that thestudents had settle in and were doing the right thing. Henryexplained this to Kole specifically. That morning Kole back-chattedand rolled his eyes about the trip, making Henry call for his motherto talk to him. Kole's ribs still hurt from his mother hitting himwith one of her heels, telling him to shut up and do as he was told.

Asthey pulled up in front of the building Kole leant over Riley tooklook. She didn't seem to care, she was too busy looking at the 76story building. They meant a lady from the company outside of thebuilding "You'll be split into three groups. Mail. Filing.Personnel. You'll find out what those mean when you go to your group.First Mail" Amanda, the woman from the company started to read outnames. Amanda had orange hair, pale white skin and green eyes. Herbody was like an hour glass. "Then Personnel, Michael Addams, KoleChambers, Riley Sutton, and West Stone" She smiled "I'll be yourtour guide for today" She said and turned.

Koleand the rest of his group followed her, as well as Henry. They wereshowed were the coffee was, the break room, the room for filing, mailroom. Offices, books. Computer room. Kole was good at picking up werethings were and where they should go. "This is Mr. Rivers office,this is his assistant Quinn" Quinn smiled.

Quinnwas on the larger side, she had short brown hair to her shoulders,blue eyes and little to no fashion sense. No one seemed to carethough. Quinn was nice, and helpful through out the office, it's whyMr, Rivers hired her. Amanda continued to show the four of themaround the office and gave them each different jobs to do.

Kolewas in the filing room, looking for a file that Amanda needed. Oncehe found it he started to walk to Amanda's office. He was looking atthe file, tempted to open it and snoop when he bumped into someone.He saw the brown liquid fall onto the person's blue suit top, thepapers went every where.
