Chapter 27: Midnight way home Midnight

....so....then it was poker time....

Then 2 out of the four people lost all their money(imaginary money that is-i don't think we'll play with real money ever_at least not me- for I won't gamble away my properties unless it's a lottery).

We started chatting...about weird holidays noone knows how started and all...

Then I had a long and raspy call to answer...(which we will avoid discussing, cause it's a loooong story) and all games ended before I finished my call...and all three of my classmates packed up and hovered about the door while politely glancing my way, so i kinda ended my animated and emotional conversation with dad who had been angry with me (and I on him). We all took the lift the way down.

Then we were running after the bus, which we saw was about to leave, got on it....then got off at the city center. I looked at people the whole way (through their reflection on the bus- I dare not look at people directly-why in the world would I do that?) since at night there's not much too see outside except at places with pretty lights-which were not much in the way to campus.

After getting off, we started walking through streets I haven't seen before....

and.... so all my alters become alert and aware of the new scenery and started taking all the views greedily in that damp chilly autum night as all the three of us were walking under the city lights....

Music was occasionally heard here and there at restaurants but I had no ears for it as Heldon's opera of ' Hallelujah' was blasting in my head as we took every new turn and my classmates told me the names of the streets and of the stuff one should do when one goes for a hang out....and all my cells on the inside are smiling wickedly as I think of how my overprotective dad would hate to see me hanging out with friends because for him I would always be a four year old.

The we picked up beer from the mart and I picked up a non-alcoholic beer to join the crowd but maintain my wits about me(for the first and only time I got drank I woke up in the ER. ..lol ). Then it was more new streets, adorned with lights, and my head got in the clouds again. We passed by an amusement park, a place with lots of boats and carribian music, then an adorable neighbourhood- one that you would see in a musical of romance in the 1930's....then we called our friend, found the apartment and went in....
