Muddled Gold 6 Vacation (1/2)
CHAPTER SIX
I woke up on Monday morning feeling so distressed and abandoned. That day was supposed to be the first day of my last secondary school holiday where I was to travel out, meet new people and see new places. But there I was, getting prepared to meet criminals and a.s.sociate with hopeless rejected citizens of my beloved country. I signed heavily as I recalled my chat with my girlfriends the night before. They had laughed at my predicament – as expected—and tried to cheer me up which you already know was of no use. They told me that they would all by flying to their various destinations later that day as was our custom and that Sarah had decided to go with Lucy, so I was literally without my girlfriends for the period of the holiday. Unless you counted Juliet whom I was sure I wasn't going to see since she would always be in the market helping her mother.

”I am sorry” I apologized in an almost inaudible voice.
”No problem sister, how are you doing?” he made no attempt to usher me inside. I didn't really blame him because if I was the one that shared a room with G.o.d knows how many people I would never allow another living being into my house, with exception of rats, c.o.c.kroaches and mosquitoes that don't need permission to enter.
”I am fine brother. My father sent me to give you the cheque for the money he donated to the society on Friday” He broke into a grin that made me suspicious.
”I thank you very much and may G.o.d bless your father in all his endeavors” he said while collecting he envelope.
