I was feeling shy. Finally, I went inside with that formality of welcome gesture. There I saw the living hall was occupied by some pandits and our re...latives.Pandits asked me to quickly come and sit near them. I gave the luggage to my parents and sat 2 feet away from pandits and facing them. They asked my nephew also to come and sit beside me. I was feeling shy and tensed. I was blushing like a new bride when he sat beside me.Pandits asked him to hold my hand. He held my hand and I was getting. “This is for you, Jess. It’s you’re makeup and stuff.”“Can I go to the mall, mom?” Jessica plead. “What mall? We just got here and we’re busy unpacking,” replied her mother.“We passed one on the way in to the neighborhood. I can go by myself. I’ll be alright,” Jessica begged. “No, it’s too far for you to go by yourself. It’s our first night here and you’re going to a brand new school in the morning. I want you to be well prepared with plenty of rest,” her mother sternly replied. Jessica laid. Good for you." Thanks, Maggie," Amanda beamed."Ditto. You're all right in my book." I said. Her friends came over, and they were all remarking on how brave we were. Amanda looked at them, and said, "You know what? I don't feel brave. I feel free."That was a good way to put it.Maggie and her friends found a table, and we were alone again. They called our number, and I went up to get the food. Of course, Maggie noticed this, and had to let out a wolf-whistle.We ate, and the rest of the meal was. She remembered Teresa as being very attractive and wondered if she might seduce the woman before turning her over to Dahlgrin.At three-thirty, her friends deposited Sierra who was, by now, totally miserable. She made her way into the bathroom where the plugs were removed and she could finally relieve herself. She still could not understand why there was so much difference between the way her grandmother had treated her and the near torture she endured at the hands of her mother. All she knew.
