THE NEWYORKER'LIFE

A TRIP TO INDIA?!

After I met Alex. I explained every thing to Selwyn. Then I started my studies at 2 am after I had a light snack. Hours passed and now Selwyn had returned to her orphanage. It was an half hour past six. I kept my books inside and opened my cupboard beside my study. I took my black and golden headphones and connected my phone. I put my black top with a tight jeans . My black sneakers were matching best with them. I put my phone in my pocket and got out for a walk and buy some friendship bands. I walked to the Broadway mall . Second floor Hameley's, I read. I took my phone and disconnected it with the headphones. The headphone around my neck, I walked to the store. I pushed the door . 'Mam how can I help you? ' said a man.
Friendshipbands, I said . He took me to other side of the shelf which were shining with thousand of friendshipbands. I got five pink Barbie bands for girls gang. A black one for Jay and a wood one for Kate. A tassel one for Andrea. The most important football one for Alex . As he was billing I saw a small bag full of chocolates wrapped in football wrappers, I billed it too. 'Mam that makes 14 dollar ' he said . I gave him two notes of ten dollar. He returned me a small pack of candy gums and five dollar. 'Thanks and visit again' he wished me. I pushed the door as my phone rang . Hey Selwyn, I talked. 'Where are you ?'
Oh! I am at Broadway mall, I told. 'Ok listen your family is on the way to New Jersey as your dad had an important meeting. I can't come as I have exam tomorrow. Will you be on your own?'
Yes don't worry I'll manage, I cut the phone off. It it was already seven-thirty. I walked to home and locked all the doors after servants made their way to home.
I switched off the lights and wrapped my self in the blanket.
Next morning the clock woke me. I wished myself a good morning and open the doors , after dressing . I locked all the gates and made way to Selwyn's orphanage which was on the way to my school. I handled the keys to her and followed my way to school. I came earlier.  I kept all the friendshipbands in the respective lockers of my friends and the packet of chocolates with my name tagged on it and just ran to the ground. The bell rang. There was a special announcement 'students our school is organising a trip to India which is just for fun as your exams are over ,it is a half month trip. We will set on 1st November and return on 16 November further information are given on the board beside the locker. I ran to the board with a huge crowd . I again bumped into someone and apologised. Again my fate it was Alex.  'Hey thanks for choclates'
Welcome..am well thanks for giving me such a family fell for at least a short time,I thanked him.
'What's the matter you are sad ..if you have any problem you can share.'
No thanks , I replied.

' Yes I will,will you?'
Yes surely, I replied and got away.
