Chapter 3 The money

'Uhhhhh...shi..He is so handsome'

August shrieked in excitement after viewing the picture on my phone

'Yeah he is..but why are you exaggerating it so much..not like he is the only handsome lecturer you have seen'

Eric scoffed as he looked over at my phone again

'Oh come on you ugly African panda..you think you are handsome, all my life I haven't seen any one as ugly as you'

'What..Auggie how could you..do you know how many ladies are dying to be with me'

He faced her with seriousness all over him as he pointed at himself

'Well it's what you are saying, how can we believe..Eric you are ugly just accept it'

Eric stood in amusement and looked at me with surprise as I lowered my head not knowing what to say

It hurts to see two romantic lovers turn into enemies after three years, worse still they were both my best friends and there was nothing about me they didn't know

'All right ..excuse me, my sis is on the line'

I said as I smiled looking over at the two beside me..I could still feel the love between them though they might not want to show it

'Hello sis'

I smiled after clearing my throat

'Little bunny..how you doing'

My sis voice sounded cute but firm as usual

'Good..urrrh...we spoke this morning '

I scratched my hair and looked at my friends who nodded for me to go on

'Yes, our family lawyer called me just now as he reminded me of the pension our dad was entitled to back then'

I nodded as the ugly memories flashed in my brains

'So...what am I to do'

'Well..you know I'm not in the states now, would you go over and receive that money and look for something to do..you told me you wanted to start a business after you are through with school , that's an opportunity..dad wanted you to do that before he died'

I shook my head, that was five hundred thousand dollars, what could I use it for

'Sis..I think I'm too young to handle such things, it would be best for you to manage it and of course you are my sis..whatever is yours is mine..right'

Anne sighed on the other side

'Alicia you are twenty one and you are in your final year, you know I'm a renowned lawyer here in California,I don't need that..stop acting like a child'

I moved away from my friends and held my phone seriously

'Sis, I...actually...'

I didn't know what to say'

Anne's face brightened up immediately

'Little bunny, I have an idea..I agree, it's our dad's money..we should both share it right'

I nodded happily

'Is there anywhere you could stay outside apart from your dorm'

I shook my head as I looked around

'No'

'Well I would come down there in some months and won't it be nice to have a little house I can stay in with you till I leave again'

My eyes widened and I jumped up

'I didn't think of this before..we could get a house..sis you are so...'

Anne nodded

'Leave the compliments and get straight to business, I would forward the lawyer's number to you..talk it through with him and as soon as you get a suitable house..just let me know'

I saluted

'Yes sis'
