The big event soon commenced with opening the floor. The Master of Ceremonies introduced the important personalities and led them to the high seats. One of them was Nick's dad. He was introduced as Nick's dad, and that's how I got to know him. He kept looking at me with a deathful glare, and so I looked away. His look was like, "Try contending with my son and see the repercussions, who do you think you are?" He looked rich, stinkingly rich in fact.
Afterwards, everyone stood up and recited the Anthem, and no it was neither the school anthem nor the National anthem but an anthem I did not know of. Even Uncle Robinson recited it like it was just normal
They called it "The Contention" . I only heard few English words, the rest of the words were not English. When I asked Uncle Robinson what language it was, he didn't answer me. It was then I knew that I was in for something big. I was the weird one in the midst of these strange people.
