I hit the peddle and started swerving the cars passing buy

—-Inside the van—-

The kids are bumping into things back in fourth
As I didn't give them time to put on their seatbelts

"I BETTER NOT FIND A DENT ON MY LULUBUG!"-Isa cries out (;'༎ຶД༎ຶ')

"Where are we even going"-Elijah

"To Riverdale" I reply

"Oh...WHAT?"-Isa

"It's not that far if we go via the Mosholu parkway, of course we have to go to Grand Concourse first" I unhurriedly explain

"I always thought that Riverdale was like 2 hours away-Saanvi

"You must be thinking about Connecticut"-India

"I thought Connecticut was closer"-Saanvi

"Connecticut is a whole different state Saanvi"-India

anywayysssss

After some time of driving I see a signboard saying "Welcome to Riverdale"

"We are here"-I say to the children I'm babysitting

Driving up to Riverdale, there was an endless field of grass and I even saw some bodies of water

Compared to the last decades, the poverty levels in Riverdale went down to 2% which is a pretty big jump from 19% (Riverdale is still mostly a wealthy neighborhood though...I mean obviously..)

I drive some more and houses start appearing

"That house would be the perfect garage for me"-Isa

I wanna smack the back of her head

"The houses here are pretty good but they still can't beat the ones in California"-Elijah says with a smirk on his face

"So are all of you from from rich families?"

"Not rich. WEALTHY"-Isa corrects me to which I roll my eyes

"I guess"-Elijah

"I'm not Isa's level of wealthy but I am pretty comfortable"-Saanvi

"No. I'm common folk "-Easton

(Ngl I was just imagining Easton saying Lmao while talking and it just occurred to me how weird it is to put lmao because no one would actually say that unless its through text lol)

everybody turns to India(except me cause, eyes on the road ya'll)

Looking at everyone watching her, India reluctantly replies

"I suppose"

"I'm rich too" I say which garners some weird looks from the kids

"What?" I ask

"You're not a very good liar"-Isa tells me to which prompts me to side eye her

"Why are you always so against me girl?"

"I mean, you live in the south side of the Bronx...that's not really the rich part of it unlike Riverdale"

"True, but I said I'm rich as in me, the individual. Just because I'm rich doesn't mean I have to flaunt my wealth. Humility is a way to protect yourself from bad karma"

This is a total lie, I'm not rich at all

"Well you do you"-Isa

I gave you a whole life lesson and this is the response you got?!

Driving some more we come across houses(obviously) but driving further, we start seeing these huge estates

'Kinda looks like a castle'
