i quickly ran upstairs to my room. pissed off from my mum and dad. honestly how could they do this to me?how will i live now?come on. they are just too much. it's not like im the only teenager in the world who went over spending on shopping right? well maybe i did get overboard with those 500 dollar pair of shoes but come on!!!they were Italian designer leather!!!!LEATHER!!!ITALIAN!!!!arrrrgggghhhhh....and now beacuse of that they were cutting my allowance off by half?grrrrr....so that i could pay off my sooo called "overspending'.waaaaahhhhhh....now what will i do,,,,at the end of the month me and my friends where going to Paladin Resort....and there was like a newly opened Mykoolo Azure boutique there and he was the spring/summer 'IT' designer of the season....and i need to have those one of a kind flip flops that they were selling exclusively there.....grrrrr.....
suddenly my phone rang....
'hello?'i answered with no interest.
'hi pretty girl'the female voice greeted me.
i rolled my eyes.
'hello there Ellie'i answered.'what do you want?
'whhhooaaaahhhh is that how you answer me my dearest and prettiest cousin'she said with a laugh to her voice.
clearly i was not in the mood to play games.
'was is it?i asked her with great irritation in my voice now.
'well, let's see it's not me that needs me more than me right now dear cousin'
'what????'clearly confused with her statement.
'ok,i know that you've been cut off with your allowance and i know that you need to pay up for your own credit card'
'and?what's it too you then dear Elllie?i asked.
Knowing my dear cousin she probably eavesdropped with her mum's conversation on the phnoe when my mum called her. seriously my mum is just too much. does she really need to report everything that i do?grrrrr......
'well if you want i could help you with your problem'Ellie answered.
'and how could that be?'with one eyebrow raised.
Ellie was my only cousin here in the states after I moved from Britain. her family moved here about 5 years before and now she was in her sophomore college year while i was still in my senior year in high school. anyways we just moved here about a year ago.
Ellie and I had always been close and she would always help me out,but there was one thing that i didn't like her that much and that she was greedy and a shrewd money making machine. seriously. ever since we were kids she would do crazy stuffs just to make up some cash (it's not like we were poor actually we were fully loaded, but Ellie has just that money greedy thing going on with her and she really wanted to be super rich...her one dream in life when we were young was she would be a billionaire by the age of 30....and with her ways i doubt that she will not get it) and when she offers something like lending money it usually involves some hard labor or a bit of humiliation and for her not even her so called prettiest cousin is safe.
'well,this saturday our university is going to have a fair and i am going to put up this mini comic convention booth-'
'really?isn't that a bit of nerdy?'
'yes of course but you do know that there are a lot of bloody nerdy comic addicts here in our college and i bet my comic con would be a hit'
'so what do you need me for?gonna make me carry those boxes full of bloody comics?
'well sort of and some extra other things'she giggled.
'what other things?'i asked her with full suspicion.
'well you know the usual 'STUFF'?'
'what?no way, i'm already done with that...'
'come on, it's going to be worth it'
'i don't know...'
'ok,i'll pay you about let's see about half of what you owe to your parents'
'what?really?clearly you are not joking right?
'of course not. i maybe a greedy bitch but i still keep my word you know'
'yah,right'i snorted.
'im serious Alex, so are you in or out?'
'well....' i hesitated a bit. goodness it was not easy doing that 'STUFF'. ok so i did that a couple of times but i almost got caught by my parents and surely if they caught me they might as well disinherit me.
'come on...please'she pleaded.
'well....what if my mum and dad caught me?i asked.
'well for one thing the 'Stuff' will happen here in our college and that's like two hours away from your house and promise no ONE will ever know'.
i hesitated a bit less now....well i promise myself not do it again but i really need the money.
'ok then...i finally gave in.
'Alex,promise me that you'll come ok?i'll pick you up by satruday morning?ok, and you can't back out with this, you promise already.'
'ok ellie,bloody fine...ok?'
'good,there's no breaking our promises or else....'
'i know Ellie'i growled.
'bye then my pretty little girl'she giggled and the phone went dead.
CRAP...i pray all the saints in the heaven that nothing won't go wrong this satruday.....please...........and i can't help but growl as those Italian leather shoes stared at me...STUPID SHOPIING ADDICTION!!!!!GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
