when the show I was watching was over , Dad and Mr Paul had not let come back from their work, I switch off the television and went back to the kitchen to make a phone call.
mom was done cleaning up, but my big sist favor, sat on the table filing out yet another application for yet another college. she'd be graduating from high school in may, and she dream of going up to college and leaving us behind although Dad kept warning her to not got her hope up high . with family finance the way they were, she might have to spend a couple of years at Glenfield community college.
my family runs star Hobbies shop, a shop on main street. we do a pretty good business. it paid the bills over the years but we are nowhere close to be rich
when I pick up the phone Amanda began frantically erasing something she'd written on one of the application and then she glared at me ,as if it was somehow my fault.
''Do you have to do that in here ? she said . "this is very important, I really want to go to college.
Believe me I really want her to go to college too preferably a distance one . the university of northern Siberia sounded good to me, I m just making a phone call" I told her .I don't think that's going to keep you out of Yale
''Look, I'm trying to concentrate, " she said. can't you take the phone somewhere else's ?
I had been trying to call felix, one of my two best friends, since school had let out that day, but his line was always busy he must be on the internet,
