Craig's Diary

Chapter III : Manchester

          Friday, September 27 : It starts here, it starts now and it starts today, A gratifying day and date for Rafaeldo's birthday, he told me and Zara not to tell anyone.

We and the other two started a chat. With all the accosting we said to Rafaeldo, we are still unconfirmed where to celebrate after all, we are far away from one another's schools.

As i drain my time in school prior to the afternoon , Mr Moore wants to make an announcement,

Mr Moore :Good afternoon class, i have an announcement to make, well apparently there are good news and bad news

Pastuzo : I am all ears

Mr Moore : Good news is we foraged and found a perfect location for camping, which is worth the distance, Ladies and Gentleman, We are going to Pachaug Pond, Connecticut !!!

Everybody in class and I are so satisfied for the news

Zara : Then what is the bad news ?

Mr Moore : Well (sighed), we don't have enough money yet i am afraid

Richie : Calm down I'll -

Mr Moore : Don't you think about paying our camp because you are rich, that is not the school's way and your parents may feel to criticized!

Haroun : How expensive are we talking about sir ?

Mr Moore : More than $5000, We need to pay for the land, Bus and the driver, equipments, food, rent some boats, there is a camp competition which costs some fee and the rest for our budget for survival and that sort of stuff. And with the land alone, it costs a quarter from the total. Any ideas anyone to solve this anyone, apart from borrowing Richie's money ?

Pastuzo : Well guys, looks like we are forced to work hard, make money, show your talents, find jobs or help your friends doing it, and we should especially work in Manchester

Zara : Manchester ?, going to England ?

Pastuzo : Manchester, it is the biggest city in this state and a productive place to make money, how come you never knew that ?

As we heard about Manchester, we decided to celebrate Rafaeldo's birthday there at NH mall. While we were going, a police founded me, asking to pay my regrets for causing trouble for wiping tags in a tag competition in Exeter. I took the mandatory way, pay $65, which was a quarter of my earnings. From there i realised to be aware of cops in a wanted area whenever i got a bounty.

As we ride there, and race, due to the fact Zara wins easily because of her Aprilia. As we arrived to the land of opportunity in this state, we are intoxicated by the view of this city. Big buildings, lots of shopping places, a big bus if your lazy to go and every other services you can only find in a rejuvenated city.

We hugged Laramie and Jumbo as we miss doing something in such a long time. Headmost, we go eat in a Cafe, ordered some lattes and fries, playing food fight along the way. Secondly, we went to a clothing store, i got a new high quality jacket for $90, Jumbo got a zebra striped t shirt and Zora, my !, she bought a necklace which is beautiful for her impersonation. Thirdly, we went to an arcade, we played pac man with Laramie almost breaking a new record in the mall and Me and Zara played karaoke, we sang with our breath closing in, we sang close and touch hand to hand like we are in a disney film. Lastly, we went to a VR station, Rafaeldo got a high score, but the abrupt part was Jumbo trying to strike an enemy by running and suddenly smacked us all in the real world, and we all laughed with joy.

By 8pm, we gave our farewells, took a group selfie in front of the mall and our birthday greetings to Rafaeldo and split up. Rafaeldo and Zara tends to return to Exeter, while i want to stay here and rent a hotel and explore the wonders.
