One day. Quiet and calm. One word. One name. Forbidded but never said. But this time it was. The day was a cold and windy November day. Typical weather in Waterville, Maine. Students streamed through Waterville Highschool doors, desperate to get into the warm classrooms. As the last student entered their classroom the clock struck 8:15. The same thing happened everyday. Waterville Highschool was not a normal school. Everyday by 8:15 every classroom was full and quiet. By 8:20 books were out and the lesson had begun. Every hour the classes switch. There was talking in the halls as the students moved from class to class, but the students were never late. Teachers always began the lesson right away. There was no hesitation. No hitch in the daily routine. It had been like that for 50 years. Until today.
