POV:Ha-ru
I'm right on time as always, I think as I finished making my brother's breakfast and packing his lunch then putting it in the fridge. I do this because he gets hungry while I'm at school. because he is homeschooled he doesn't get to eat school lunch and he can't make his own lunch himself, so often times his tutor just gives him whatever she finds in the fridge . I walked over to his room as I laid a small kiss on his forehead I wonder what he's dreaming about I sighed as I got up to leave for school when I noticed my father's car leaving the house why is he leaving this late? his schedule seems to be messed up lately. I shrugged it off because I simply couldn't find it in me to care .
The traffic today is just crazy I turn my music up as I think about my friends in school .Anne is doing good and loving as always,out of all my friends Anne is probablythe most reliable and stable one. Eleanor seems to be opening up day by day it's almost like we're getting closer to her as the day passes she laughs a lot more and let's her guard down each day I think we're all getting along really well even Tolu .For the past week he seems to be his normal Tolu self thank goodness I like it when his back to being himself it makes me feel at peace and like I have my bestfriend back .
"Hey,nice shoes" Eleanor said to me as I reached her locker side . I never really thought much about my shoes , especially not this one because it's red and I don't think red suits me very well. does she like red ? that's a high possibility because most of her clothes seem to have a little red in them.
"Thanks " I say looking down at my shoes
"Don't flatter yourself red is not your color " Tolu said without looking up from his phone . He's not wrong though that's why I usually wear baige colors
"Why is Anne usually late, we literally only have 15 minutes till classes start" Eleanor complained . Anne is infact usually late but I don't blame her though. with her 6th brother moving out,it's now her responsibility to get her other 7 younger siblings ready for school and daycare . She has 7 older siblings and 7 younger siblings.she is the most middle child middlechild i have ever met.
"Probably some family crap" Tolu replied is he cursing again? and as if on cue Anne came rushing in
"Oh my Goodness,did I make it?" Anne said panting and sweating
"Yup and only 10 minutes before class starts" I said as I gave her a high five
"You guys won't believe what I did all night" Tolu announced excitingly which was a huge contrast to his tone few minutes ago
"What did you do?" I asked trying to match the excitement on his face
"I started my own online fundraiser,but no one was donating so I donated half of my life savings " he answered happily. I want to be happy for him, but this just sounds like a stupid thing to do, and it's so unlike Tolu to do such things , I don't know if I should act happy or scold him a little so I just decided to keep a blank face
"What the heck ,why on earth would you do that" Anne scolded looking panicked . oh so we are scolding
"It wasn't getting any traction. I waited a whole hour and no one donated,so I decided to do it myself" Tolu explained
"But that doesn't make any sense,you don't even like doing charity work" I say confusingly
"I don't mean to poke my nose in your business, but isn't there a reason you were saving up in the first place? I mean,that why you have your job right ?" Eleanor asked looking almost as confused as I was
"Yeah I was saving up to buy my own apartment when I graduate but I decided to give half of my savings away last night , it sounds bad now but imagine the millions I'd make once I start my new job" Tolu said excitingly
"New job? what happened to your old one?" Anne asked sounding worried
"Oh yeah I called my boss around 3am to tell him that I quit" Tolu said shrugging . Everything about this conversation seems odd.he is usually money minded. is he having another one of his episodes? This is so unlike him. I turn to look at Eleanor and Anne , Eleanor looks like she is trying really hard to understand what's going on, and Anne is just staring at him with shock and concern
"Enough about me , do you guys want to go on a road trip for our 2 days holiday?" Tolu asked completely changing the topic
"We have a holiday?" Eleanor asked
"Yes ,it's a public holidays "I replied
"So who's up for the road trip "Tolu asked bringing the conversation back to him
"I don't know about that I'll have to ask my mom" Eleanor answered
"My older brother hasn't completely moved out yet , so maybe I could ask him to watch the younger ones for a few days" Anne contemplates
"I don't think I would be able to go , I have to take care of Mun" I answered
"Who's Mun?" Eleanor asked
"My little brother,he's just seven and shouldn't be left alone " I replied
"Oh come on Haru , you can just hire a care taker.Mun is a good and ultimately well behaved kid; he'll be fine .please please just come , you and Anne are all I need and have" Tolu begged ,it feels strange to hear him say please. I really don't want to leave my brother in the hands of some caretaker ,but I feel like I should really be with Tolu right now, just incase he tries something crazy like the last time he was having his episodes.
"OK, I'll come along "I replied sighing. I hope this trip goes well
