CHAPTER FIFTEEN

ELIZABETH

It's been a little over three weeks and I haven't heard one peep from Mr. Lambert or the investment group. No one in the house has asked me about it either. Not my aunt, my uncle, or least of all Roman. They all seem to be quite content with the fact that I'm busy networking computers everyday for the betterment of the family business.

My mother hasn't asked me much either. All she's been doing lately is texting me with random tidbits about what's been going in Penn Washington. My seventh grade life science teacher Mr. Basil is dating someone that my mother knows from church, and she can't stop going on about it. My neighbor's daughter Cecilia has moved back home from college and is some sort of tax specialist with the township. Great for her Mom. Also my father recently received a pay increase from the township. The first one he's received in two years. My parents celebrated with dinner out at The Cheesecake Factory.

It's funny how she thinks sending me all these bits of trivia are going to encourage me to move back home when they are having the complete opposite effect. I want to stay as far away from all of that as I can possibly can. Which is why I'm a little anxious that I haven't heard anything from Mr. Lambert.

I've put my quest to move out of my aunt's house on hold for now. Not until I'm sure of what my plan is. Roman giving me seventeen thousand dollars has kind of put a whole new spin on things. I could technically go back to the original plan I had in place.

Hire a full time coder and live off of that money while I put my everything into School Bucks. Of course I know that money will go fast. No one can live off of seventeen thousand dollars for very long. I'd still need to find a job. Find an affordable place to live. Hire a coder from out of the country, because American freelancers cost way too much money.

Hmmm … now that I take a longer look at things, I'm not so sure that was ever really a solid plan. That's why I'm still hoping to hear good news from Mr. Lambert. More money can't hurt. It can only help my situation.

Sloan: Whatcha doing?

Me: Contemplating my life.

Sloan: No, really.

Me: About to go to work.

Sloan: Where to today?

Me: Your favorite place.

Sloan: Lotus!

Me: Yep.

Sloan: I heard it’s a lot better in there now. We should party there again.

Me: Uh, really?

Sloan: Why not? We've got the family hook up to get in and you need to have some fun.

Me: Why do you always insinuate that my life is sad and boring.

Sloan: Umm well…

Me: Ha ha. Very funny. I'll let u know about Lotus later jerk.

Sloan: LOL. Later:)

I don't want to go to the club with Sloan tonight because I know for a fact that Roman will be there. There's some big event going on there tonight, which is why he wants me to double check the computers there today.
