Thanks to the Daniels ,We got a surprise of a vacation announcement. To me as always, it was a very exciting news, but to my siblings it was like another vacation promise that might as others get withdrawn. This kept them in trepidation. I was of cause a bit worried too. If it happened, it would be in they records the 5th time vacation was promised and withdrawn. It actually comes as a punishment to us, and this time as always, we were warned to not misbehave and ruin vacation plans again. Holidays are like the best time to go on our investigation missions. Being caught in this missions has ruined all our vacation plans except the first. The first happened when I was 6. Mum left us home alone as always, with a usual instruction to not go nowhere. We have issues with listening and keeping to instructions, sometimes it makes me feel like we are really psychos Grandma Lopez, the grandma next door calls us. We nod in response as you speak, giving loud your instructions, but not all your words gets into our head. Often times I just keep starring at mum's wig as she instructs, I keep wondering how it's being made. I concur, kids are quite all psychos. But don't you dare call me that! I tolerate that only when it comes from Grandma Lopez ,cause I love the way she says it in her baritone. Few minutes after mum left,my siblings left to go play games with they Richfields who were family friends. We planned to have our vacation at Australia then because, they Richfields were relocating to Australia and we planned to travel with them and help them with settling down, then spend the Christmas holiday together. As a punishment,we couldn't travel with them again. They left alone ,and since then we've not been in touch
Human beings can be very unbelievable
.Lemme believe maybe something happened, and has kept them unable to reach us. Mum will always say,'true friends are friends who never let distance tier their friendship apart. True friends, long to always keep in touch '.Maybe ,they were just good neighbours, not really friends. They Richfields had two kids, Christophe and Anna. Christophe is Cian and Stephanie's age, while Anna is Zoe's age. Mrs Evelyn Richfield , then, was an importer of toys and game devices of all kinds, hence, there kids had toys and game devices assorted. There house was a very interesting place for we they kids. Top kids of the estate visits them especially during holidays, because while school is on, we don't have such time. Except we want to fail. Our play time is only in school during break times. We return home with a lot of Assignments and projects to carry out. Most of the estate parents goes nowhere on Saturdays, and parents like ours won't permit us to visit they Richfields because we want to play games.
There weren't so many of us in the top kids clique. It consisted of they Richfields, they Bradfords, they Williams and we . There were only ten of us, we were all pupils of same school. Even if Mrs. Richfield was in, she never complained. But mum hates cliques. She said she didn't want us hanging out as a clique with they other kids. She feared we might get negatively influenced, and what she feared almost happened. A while after we started hanging out with they kids, we stopped having time for reading books during holidays, we learnt how to tell lies to escape punishments. We were trained to always take responsibility for any thing we do, but the clique gradually, started turning us into cowards who give excuses and lie to get away from punishments. We also started wasting our savings on unnecessary things such as extra sugar candies as they other kids ,who used to receive money or steal from their parents. We weren't being raised like they were. We were raised to place so much value on money. 'It doesn't fall from the sky' mum always reminds us. We don't unnecessarily receive money from mum and dad. They leave us with they ones we get from relatives or outsiders because, we use them for buying gifts for surprises, on special occasions and making some purchases in family hangouts. Mum makes available varieties of sugar candy , and makes sure we take them properly. But during the period we were hanging out with they other kids, we hated our parents ,for not giving us money like other parents were. We started comparing the family of they other kids with ours.We began to feel our family was full of fetters. We started borrowing and buying movies that actually had nothing to teach we they kids. We would see a warning, stating it was strictly for viewers from the age of 18, and mock they producers or sigh. We started learning bad attitudes, like throwing hissy fit ,when something we wanted, was not done the way we wanted it to be done for us. Imagine, I quarrelled mum for not throwing a big party for me when I turned 5, as they Williams did for their daughter who is my age. I even started wishing then, I was an only child or had just one elderly like Cherry Williams. The clique had a big negative influence on us.
Ruining our vacation plans that holiday, ended our relationship as part of the clique. Actually gradually after we stopped hanging out with them and they Richfields relocated, the clique seized to exist.
