20XX, May 11, Saturday; Park near the Konner House
Sigh.. I'm currently outside right now since I had an argument with my aunt regarding me renting somewhere near the university. She was to noisy even when I stayed in my room so I went out saying I have to buy some tampons.
It was so irritating! What is wrong with a nineteen year old living away from her aunt and brother?! And it's not like it was too far.
I found a small apartment near the university with cheap rent and no need to share with roommates. It was small, obviously but it was enough for me to have a bed, kitchen and bathroom. The place was clean too. The owner was a graduate from our university and wanted to somehow help current students now that he has retired. He also said that it was refreshing to always see young people but he stays inside his room most of the time anyway.
For other expenses, I can cook for myself to save and I spend most of my time at the university anyway so the place was just for sleeping, bathing and eating. I also promised I will go back to the Konner house every weekend.
I mean, I'm the only one I know who still have curfew at my age. Not that I will take advantage of that once I started living alone but I still have to call my aunt if there were projects we have to finish until late in the night or if I was asked out by classmates to hang out.
I also thought of having a part-time job but that will be a worse argument with my aunt. She believes that we should focus on our studies first and she didn't want other people saying she can't afford sending Eli and me to school. Why take us in when that was the case?
My other problem was my relationship with Rick. I haven't introduced him to my family yet. Actually, I never told them I have a boyfriend. Well, I know it will be a hindrance to my aunt allowing me to live alone. I will introduce him when I there's a better time. Rick never introduced me to his patents yet anyway.
Then, my aunt's other issue was something about what happened to one of the neighbors. The daughter was studying in one of the large universities in the city. Since it was too far, she had to live in the school dorm. What my aunt heard was that the girl had a boyfriend, got pregnant but the boy ran away from the responsibility.
She was now living back in their house, taking care of the kid and we have no idea if she will return to school. I haven't met her to be honest so I really have no idea who aunt was talking about. But I also heard from her that the couple talked of aborting the baby. Fortunately, or unfortunately for the couple, the family found out about it.
Another issue opened up was about my uncle. He's still in jail but his sentence will be done in a few years. Aunt kept insisting that uncle won't be able to touch us once he got out so I don't have to worry about living here. Not that I care much about that.
I think the police should be able to handle him. I mean, they really should since it's their job. Uncle was afraid of aunt too so he wouldn't try anything with us unless he's gone crazy.
It's getting late and I still have to go to the convenience store to have proof of my reason to go out this night. What was I supposed to buy again?
