Chapter 304

• At that moment, I felt like the luckiest man alive because the beautiful girl I had met recently had agreed to go out with me, or at least was thinking about it, even if just as friends. However, I didn't know that starting things off that way would make everything so different. This morning, I turned up the volume on my mini component system, I think even the neighbors were going to complain about the powerful sound coming from my stereo. But I didn't care about anything happening around me, all I felt was the great happiness of meeting up with this girl. So, for the first time, I chose some decent clothes because I didn't want to show up looking sloppy. I think my mom was right about that, I couldn't just go around like that because she dressed quite nicely. It would definitely be embarrassing if she saw me like that. It's true that I didn't care what people said or thought about me, but I decided to be a bit more formal and wear something decent. I searched through my closet for clothes I never wore, they felt old but were still in good condition. I finished my chores and was eager for the time to come.
• "Good morning, can I have a little kiss as usual?" She always came asking for favors or something because her house lacked certain things that we had in abundance. I didn't mind helping out a bit. "I need you to lend me your lawnmower. Mine is a bit damaged and the grass is quite tall, it's really hard for me to cut it with scissors. Can you lend it to me?"
• "Sure, no problem. Just let me go to the shed to find it." I went to the shed and luckily it was there. I thought it was not cool to say no to someone because you never know when you might need something from them. I believe that if I can help people within my means, I should do it. Even though my mom wasn't around, she had also taught me good values and to be helpful to the neighbors.
