On Saturday, my dad decided to take us out since we were going back to school on Sunday, my friend dressed as if she was going for a party, then i looked at my dad i noticed he was also staring at her. When we got to the shopping mall, my friend was just smiling .
“Maria you are free to pick whatever you like” my dad said as he smiled at her, i know my dad is nice but what’s all this?
“Ok thank you sir” maria said as she smiled back at him and she picked the basket.
“Dad, what about me? I asked when i waited and he didn’t say anything.
” favour don’t tell me you are jealous, this is not your first time of coming here ,you are free to take anything you want” he said as he picked the basket and handed it over to me.
Then i went to maria, if you see the things maria were packing, the things she needed and the things she didn’t need, she packed, golden morn, milk , indomie and several things, even quaker oats that she doesn’t like , she took it , i am not sure this is my friend , why is she acting strangely, someone that pays for my meal in school.
