"10:30, cool, band practice starts in about an hour." Making the decision to wash the towel, I did some chores before I left for the school. Breakfast is good, a couple eggs and some toast. Listening to the messages on the answering machine, I know why my parents haven't arrived home from work.
" Honey, this is Mom, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that your father and I have a new project with the company, we'll be traveling to India in a couple hours. The bad news is that we'll be gone for about nine months."
I hear this and I am a little disappointed, but they've been gone before and had to invite a family member to live with me, but this time I'll be alone, I guess that means I have to hold down the fort. The message continues," We will deposit money in your bank account every week and pay the bills from India, so all you need to do is buy groceries and keep the place clean. We trust you Dante, your a big boy. Don't worry, it is not forever honey, I love you."
