Lord of Origins

Chp 41 - Misty-Eyed Principal

The ensuing events of the day did nothing to dim the excitement inside Damien at finally being in “high” school. The high school had been nothing like what he had imagined and he was happy that he could finally make it. Damien was more grateful to Leah at that moment than he had been originally when she felt promised him that he would be able to attend.

When Cade thought he was ridiculing Damien, all Damien could think about was how much more people he was going to see and get to mingle with. He had checked on his phone in the past few days to know what to expect. He knew that he would at least get to be part of a community bigger than the few workers he had come across at the Macmillans.

Even though the Macmillans have a lot of workers on their cotton plantation and many working in the gardens, Damien only sees most of them as they come and leave and they snubbed him most of the time.

Even the workers staying in the staff house seemed to have collectively decided to ostracize him.
