My stepbrother and I

[chapter 17]

Hey guys. I would like to inform you about this chapter. There is a part in this chapter that someone is speaking in Greek. I wrote what he says with English letters so that to make it easier for you to read and I also put the translation of what he says in (..). I also would like to inform you that I am not from America so I don't know how things with schools and etc work there. But this is not a true story its fiction. And imaginary things happen. So don't judge.

Greece.

Such a beautiful place. I am only two weeks here and I am loving it so far. I found a small place to live in Ioannina. Nothing much. Just an apartment with only one room a kitchen and a bathroom. No living room. Practically the living room is my room.

It is a perfect place and the rent is not high. I didn't manage to get a job because I didn't know the language but I already have enough money with me.

I would like to live here some day permanently.

The people in Greece are so friendly and they warm up easily. The past few days the only thing I did was to get to know the town. I have already visites all the museums, the castle of Ali Pasas, the small island in the middle of the lake. I was socked when I first saw it. I didn't know that there was such a place. I learnt the history of every place I went.

And now a totally crazy idea comes in my mind. A lot of people come here as tourists people that speak English. I can totally be a tourist guy. That will earn me some money right?

That's what I'm going to do now. I'll go speak with some of the tourist offices here and see if someone is interested.

Oh I forgot to mention that my father spoke with my school's principal back in america and requested that I graduate earlier from high school. I know that practically is impossible but my dad explained the situation and after all I was an excellent student. I was always ahead from the others so I've completed all my assignments for this year and the let me graduate.

Now as for the future, I don't want to go to college. Not everything in life has to do with academic studies. The only thing I like is music. I already found a guy here in Greece that plays drums and offered to reach me. I am thrilled.

That's what I want to do with my life. Play music, write songs and generally I want to do anything that involves music.

Well now I think it's time for me to go searching for a future job. I grab the keys for my apartment from the counter top of the kitchen and rake a look at myself in the mirror before I exit the apartment.

My hair is different now. I decided to dye them red. At first it was a bit difficult for me to get used to it but now I am okay. I like it this way.
