with
impatience. “See, this crap has taken valuable time out of my days. This thing
is costing me money.”
    “Then don’t put any more time into it.
I’m cool. Even if I have to go somewhere else.”
    “Then you can pay for that ‘somewhere
else.’ And tell me, what will you do if you find that the majority of your
classes aren’t even transferable?”
    “Why wouldn’t they be?”
    “That’s just how it goes.” He looked
at Candy but spoke to Cameron. “Why don’t you have her check the Internet to
find out? But I’m not paying for your last year of school. That’s on you.”
    “School can wait a little while. I’m
ready to work full-time anyway.”
    “Waiting is guaranteed to mean you’ll
never finish.”
    Candy said, “Mr. Wilson, I’m sorry.”
Her eyes were downcast like a sad puppy.
    Claude stood and then walked to the
front door, opening it, “Candy, would you mind? We need some family time before
I go get my daughter.”
    “Dad, she was coming up to my room.”
    Venus just watched from the kitchen,
pulling rotisserie chicken from the bone.
    Claude shook his head, holding on to
the nickel doorknob. “No. Not right now.”
    Candy said, “It’s okay.” She gave
Cameron a kiss on his cheek. “I’ll talk to you later.” She walked to the door,
switching in her four inch gladiator heels.
    “I’ll be by,” Cameron said back to
her.
    She exited.
    Claude closed the door. “No you won’t.
What you’re gonna do is put some work into this. The work you didn’t put into
that research paper. I’m done. And if you stay here I want rent.” He cut his
eyes and walked in the kitchen. “Actually, Venus, we need to make a decision on
moving to Laguna. My new office will be open soon.”
    “New office?” asked Cameron.
    She said, “Your dad is opening a
second real estate office. It’s in Laguna Hills.”
    Claude looked serious. “I’m ready to
move up and move on before our past catches up with us.”
    “What past?” Venus asked.
    “Venus, we need a change and you know
it.”
    She said, “Honey, I’m fine with that,
but for me, my only concern would be my commute to work.”
    He interjected as though certain, “Not
if you quit. And as far as schools for Skyy, Parent Elementary out here is
cool, but there’s an elementary school called Valencia I hear is excellent. I
sent you a link to the school site.”
    “I know. I opened it at work but
didn’t get a chance to check it out like I wanted to. I do think we need to do
some serious research and go out there, too.”
    “I agree. But overall I think the
schools out there are better. Less crowded. Plus, Cameron, you can go to school
and work out there.” He looked at Cameron. “Get you away from that fast-ass
girl.”
    Cameron looked at his dad like he
wanted to say something but he didn’t. He just stood in place.
    “The new office will be open next
month. I already have a list of houses lined up for us. Plus, I feel some mess
is about to blow up. I just know it.” Claude walked away and took his cell as
it vibrated from his pocket, holding it to his ear. “Hello?” He headed toward
the back of the house.
    Cameron walked over to Venus in the
kitchen. “What’s his problem? I swear Dad is going through man-o-pause .”
    She fought off a laugh and turned on
the water to wash her hands. “Sheesh. You know how he is. But you must admit
you messed up. You violated the school contract. He’s disappointed.”
    “That contract applies to situations I
knew about. I didn’t know it was plagiarized. They didn’t even give me a fair
chance. They could have suspended me but they expelled me. That’s not fair,
especially since it’s my first offense.”
    She dried off her hands with a paper
towel. “Bottom line, Cam, you knew you turned in work you didn’t write.”
    He shook his head. “Okay, I did.” He
looked frustrated. “Anyway, Mom, please tell me you’re not gonna quit your
job.”
    “I don’t know.”
    “Dad’s
