-- Your P.O.V --

|| Walking Home ||

[What a day ! ..]

I received a text from Aunty Marie of a map with a highlighted route that seemed to be the quickest way back home ..

I start to admire and take in my surroundings to try familiarize myself with the area until I noticed a chipped skateboard on the sidewalk that still looks useable ..

I pick it up and look around to see if anyone was around to claim it , or better yet , to see if they've lost it ..

No one ..

There's no one around ..

I decide to take it along with me and slowly make my way to the house ..

• You : " I'm Home ! .. "

I hear Aunty Marie call out from the kitchen ..

• Aunt Marie : " Welcome home ! How was your first day ? .. "

I walk to the kitchen and greet her properly ..

• You : " Hello Ajumma .. First day of College wasn't too bad .. I made new friends though ? .. "

• Aunt Marie : " Omo , jinjjah ? .. That's good ! .. See I knew you'd fit it ! ..

.. by the way , did you end up seeing Hansol ? , he's not home yet .. "

• You : " Hm .. I don't think I've met him yet ? .. "

• Aunt Marie : " Hm .. He's doing the same classes as you , and you're in the same year so maybe they've got other classes .. "

She seems disappointed , but immediately regains her composure after seeing the skateboard ..

• Aunt Marie : " Hm ? .. That's a nice board you have there ..

Looks a lot like Hansol's skateboard he bought last christmas , can you ride it too ? .. "

Without having the means to tell her I found it , she looks at me with interest as I tell her what I plan to do with it ..

• You : " Yes I do . I've got my own skateboard in my room actually .. Just thought I'd fix this one up in the garage .. Is there an sandpaper and superglue that I could borrow ? .. "

Aunt Marie smiles at me and leads me to the tool shed located in the backyard ..

The tool shed is huge ..

Not only is it clean , but it has labels that indicate where things go and it is organized so well that I was too scared to even touch anything ..

• You : " Ajussi does an amazing job keeping this place tidy .. "

• Aunt Marie : " Actually , Hansol is the one who came up with this idea .. Your uncle is very messy .. "

She said it embarrassingly then leaves me to fix up the board ..

About an hour has passed since I decided to work on fixing the surface of the skateboard and repaint the design ..

I feel tired , hungry and I feel sweaty ..

Aunty Marie has gone to the convenience store to do some grocery shopping and has left me on my own without my knowledge ..

I decided to leave the board in the tool shed to let the paint and varnish dry off and walk back inside to have a shower ..
