"Aah !!! Monday already?" Asked Nicole while rubbing her eye lids with her fingers, she

stood up and stretched and bent and wore her flip flops lazily.

She left her room and went to the door of Mitchell's room. "Bang, bang, bang are you

awake? Come on, before mum finds you still sleeping you know she would be upset.

Mitchell come on", she pushes the door, "Mitchell where are You?"She asked. "I'm right

here, all ready for school" Mitchell said.

"Why, when, how?" Asked Nicole, "just dress up I'll be waiting for you on the dining

table"

Mitchell said. "How did she do that ?" Nicole thought.

"Okay some pancakes for my two Darlings, I'll miss you both soo very much" said their

mum while placing the stack of pancakes on the dining table,"mum we are coming

back

in two months not two years" said Mitchell, "no I like the direction mum's going, I mean

in school there will be no more food at any time and most importantly no free time"

said Nicole, "just hurry up and eat your breakfast before dad comes back" their mum

said with a snap in her tone.

"Where is dad any ways?" Asked Nicole, "he said he went to settle some business"

replied their mum.

"Morning everyone!!!" said Anthony," I was almost wondering if you forgot your

promise" said Nicole with a smile creeping unto her face, "how can I forget a promise

including a bowl full of sweets" said Anthony, "well I hope you girls are all packed

because I think your dad has come back" said their mum while looking slightly worried,

"wait!!!, so you mean that dad went out this morning?" Asked Anthony",no!, no!, no!, I'm not

continuing the question and answer session on your dad, look he will soon step into the

house, you can ask him your self" their mum said with imaginary puffs out of all her

openings .

"Are my girls ready?"Asked their dad as he stepped into the house, "quickly Anthony

help load their boxes into the car" he added . "Eehm, dad where did you go" Anthony

asked, "be fast and load the girls boxes into the car their" dad replied, as if no question

was asked.

Nicole and Mitchell looked at each other for some time while Anthony suspiciously and

angrily chewed the tips of his fingers.

"Bye, love you girls" their mum said while waving and standing in front of the house,

"how I wish mum could follow us to school" said Nicole sadly "yup another wish that

will never come true" Mitchell said. Anthony was quiet through out the whole journey

the only sound he made was from his breathing, he stared out the window until he

gradually fell asleep and began to drool.

"Wake up were here" said Mitchell as she took in air, "Eehm! Anthony help them carry

their boxes into their dormitory while i make a quick call" their dad said.

"I still believe dad is hiding something from all of us" said Anthony while rolling the

boxes to their dormitory, " while I still stand on the decision of leaving him with his

privacy" Said Mitchell, I really, don't trust him, he may be our dad and all but still"

Said Anthony while turning back to look at his dad.

He had to find out what it was he was hiding.
