"Violet!" Greta, Violet's mother, called from down the stairs. "Hurry! The Counselor will be here soon! Wear something appropriate, please!" Violet sighed looking at herself in the mirror, The Counselor would never find anything she owned appropriate. He was coming to judge their family's wealth and status to see if they should be deemed appropriate to move to the upper city. She slipped on a white lacey dress with a low cut neckline and was a tad too short. She put on a pair of strappy leather sandals and tied her dark hair into a ponytail that fell just past her shoulders. Before she left her room she slipped on a cropped cardigan. She buttoned is as she walked down the stairs, quickly falling in place next to her mother, as her father answered the door.
The Counselor was a middle aged man, he had dark gray hair, he had it slicked back and tied into a bun at the back of his head, he wore an expensive suit with a silk tie and matching pocket square. He looked over the family carefully, his eyes lingering on Violet briefly.
"Counselor, this is my wife Greta, and my lovely daughter Violet. She just graduated highschool at the top of her class," Violets father, Stephan, said. The counselor shook Greta's hand and then Violet's, giving her a small smile.
"What a beautiful family you have Stephan," the man said, his voice gravelly with a slight accent. "Tell me why you're trying to move to a higher city, your home is so beautiful." He smiled flashing bright white teeth looking back at Violet who shifted on her feet, the hunger in his eyes making her stomach tingle excitedly.
"Well, like I said Violet just graduated high school and she's more likely to get into a good college if we lived in a higher city. I've been working very hard to give her this opportunity."
"I can see," The Counselor said. "Please, why don't you show me around your lovely home?" He pulled a leather handheld notebook from his inside jacket pocket and a heavy stainless steel pen. He opened the notebook and twisted the pen before he began to take notes.
