It was a close knit kind of estate with everyone knowing practically everyone, more like a family. I don't know how this came to be but it was a good one and I loved it. It had this peace and quiet that made one feel at home.
There were quite a number of young minds there. The Adams family was a peculiar one. We had a lot going for us. Dad owned one of the best schools in the town. He was a strict disciplinarian and had a flare for education, as such he ensured his children had everything he wanted pertaining education. He made sure we had the best education and the right tutors. We didn't disappoint him, we were always on top of the class.
I was the second child in a family of three children. Dan my elder brother was a lot older than I. The ten year gap between us was due to the fact that dad and mum were separated at some point in their early years of marriage. Well I thank God they are back together now. Dan was a staff of Nation's Global, dealers in oil and gas services. I liked it when he came around with his friends. He would come with lots of goodies and the house was always fun. Andy my younger brother was in his final year in secondary school. I was trying to get a scholarship into California university.
Amongst all of Dan's friends, Tony always took to me. He would always ask how I was faring. He really liked me but I had my eyes on Mark our teacher
My dear friend Annabel, the lady with a uniqueness. Beautiful and outspoken were a token description of her personality.
