An audience with the principal

It was mid-afternoon when Anessa reached the guarded entrance of Roma High School. She had no idea that such a prestigious institution was on the other side of town.

Urban City was famed for being the city of the rich and privileged, it had the best schools, restaurants and resorts. B City, the town opposite to Urban City, on the other hand, was always second best and usually had a bad reputation since it was run by mafia lords and other influential figures in the underworld.

A neatly dressed security guard in dark shades met Anessa at the gate. "How may I help you ma'am?" he respectfully questioned.

"I was hoping to meet with the principal of this school?" she requested.

"Mr. Garcia is currently in a meeting, do you have an appointment?" the guard questioned.

Anessa shook her head, "I'm sorry, but I don't. I was hoping for just a quick meeting about my younger brother."
