The ivy gripped the brick buildings with leafy fingers, caressing their aged sides with affection. The girl's dormator was alive today, shaking with activity, students moving back after a breif summer respite from their studies. Uniforms were tied back, kept haphazard, casual and light...enjoying the lingering summer warmth, and tickling autumn breeze. That special time when the seasons met, creating an incredible miriad of colors and the perfect climate to walk and admire them.
Frank, such a fitting name for a grounds keeper, was busy just outside...his eyes lingering to a familair room. The horizontal blinds stopped him from looking within, but he could feel her there. Posting pictures on the wall, marking days on her calender.
"Hey, Mr. Abignale!" cheered a few friendly voices, and a trio of girls skipped past. He offered them a soft smile, before bending and plucking a few more nails from the box in his tool box.
The hammer was heavy in his hand, comforting, and he found himself smiling despite himself. He had grown lonely over the summer, reclusive....it was nice to be out and about again. Soon, all the wonderful benefits to his job would remind him why he stayed.
Tucking a spare nail between his lips, the dark haired Mr. Fix-It went about repairing he worn, wooden sign.
"Welcome to St. Martin's" it said cheerfully.
The mood was shared by the entire faculty, which watched the young girls return through their office windows. Another semester, that was all Frank could think about...
Maybe this time she would notice.
