**Stephen O'Connell**

Stephen walked slowly along the path. He did this a lot at his old school, back in Ireland, but that hadn't been a boarding school. It hadn't been particularly far away from his family either. However, now that he was in the US, it's harder to go and see his family. Stephen came to the US for a bit before he started his post, and has been in the country for about a month, but still gets a bit homesick. He continued walking down the path, the sun tingling slightly on his pale, Irish skin. He eventually got down to the lake, where a girl, Helen, had been killed last year. Stephen went over to a bench, and sat down, looking over the beauty of the lake.
