Chapter Fifty-Five – The Party.
The party was filled to the brim. Some people wore funny outfits that made me wonder if it was a Halloween party. I hated Halloweens. I held Gladys' hand close so we won’t miss her.
Mom decided to carry baby John in her arms to avoid him being knocked over in his trolley.
“Um, my cousins, I have to pick them up. I’d be back” Rueben said to me before leaving. I nodded before he sped off.
He could take his time, I hoped mom would be finished here before more of my classmates came.
I quickly saw Cara and the Isabella.
She was at the celebrant’s chair, Cara was seated besides her. Like an advisor. They must be really close.
Mom waved at someone and ran to meet the person. One of her colleagues spotted. I don’t get why she wasn’t freaked out.
I stood with baby John in my arms and Gladys at my right hand, staring at the huge cake on Isabella's table. It had a huge book on it, looking like a law book.
