How to live alone

Chapter 2

As I walk back up to my room for school I hear the phone ring . Of course it's toll free , I am personally fed up with them calling every five minutes . So I ignore and stay on my path to my room to get my laptop and workbooks . Yes , I still have workbooks even though I'm homeschooled . Just as I was about to sit down on my big bag chair I heard a knock on the door downstair. I don't know how I heard it from way upstairs but I did and I ran down our spiral staircase and looked through our the peephole . "Delivery!" I hear the plump mailman say with a big smile on his red face . I open the door and grab the package . "You must be forgetting something " he says with a huge smile on his face . " I'm sorry you'll have to catch me next time I have no money for a tip " I say lying straight through my teeth . " O , why certainly no not a tip . I was asking for you to sign for the package !" He says still smiling like it was painted upon his face . He was very nice so I signed for the package and dug into my pocket and magically made a $20.00 appear . "Here you are , you are the first mailman to not ask for a tip congrats !" I say with a big smile on my face . " Thank you very much , your sweet good fortune shall come to you " He says as he nods and walks off . I shut the door and locked it being sure to set the alarm this time .
