The Well-Endowed Billionaires Club 4

Ever since I was a little girl I’d always wanted to travel and see the world. It was more than just one of the things on my bucket list. In a way, it kind of defined me and shaped my life.

Coming from a small town where everybody knew everybody and no new families had moved in or out in an unknown number of generations, I was always the odd one out. People looked at me funny, like there’s that Serina with her head in still in the clouds kind of thing.

The familiarity of it, the smallness of it, everything that seemed to give the other townsfolk comfort felt like a tiny cage to me, and I always wanted to get out. I wanted to walk around in all those far off places, to find out for myself what they smelled like, what they really sounded like, what they felt like, everything that the pictures and videos just couldn’t tell me.

I soon learned that travel doesn’t come for free, and the wages of a part-time checkout operator in the supermarket of a small town would never amount to realising my dreams by the time I was finished with school. I didn’t let that stop me.

Where there’s a will there’s a way, as the old saying went. So in conjunction with all my schoolwork, I also took distance learning courses for my final two years of high school so that when I graduated I would be able to step aboard an airplane as a qualified air hostess in the shortest possible time.

Sometimes plans actually work. When I waved to my parents out of the window as my bus left the station, taking me away to my new life, I could have put a pitchfork in his hand, a piece of straw in his mouth and a home-baked pie in her hands and they would have fit the old-fashioned stereo-types perfectly.

My little brother wasn’t there, he was too cut up by me leaving, but he at least understood me, he always had. He loved the town but he was also an up and coming football star, so he was going to be thrust out into the world for a while at least.

However, where I only had plans on visiting, he knew that when his football career ended he’d come back and happily live out his days. He’d probably end up drinking moonshine on his porch with a shotgun across his lap screaming at kids, who may or may not be there, to get off his lawn. But he’d be happy, and overall it would be a pretty good life.

Sometimes plans completely fall apart. I’d just returned from my very first overseas trip when I heard that my brother had been injured in a game and needed surgery on his leg or his athletic career was effectively over.

I raced home, about six months earlier than I had planned on doing so, to find the whole family looking pretty bleak. The surgery was way beyond what we could afford.
