I stared out the window as the country align rolled by like a never ending panoramic picture. The tall green grass visibly swayed as the soft gusts of wind ran across it a clearly different sight from what I was used to. No sound penetrated our windows at all during that ride the only thing breaking the silence was the soft humming of the car engine. The silence was eerie. Every now and again. I would see through the corner of my eye that my care would be over and give me a promising smile; as if this were going to be actually fun. I didn't reach to look back at her but continued to look out the window at nothing in particular. I wonder who's great idea was it to live out in the lay of no where where there are no neighbours present no shops come and nothing but a long unusually change surface dirt road that seemingly goes on for miles? Oh that's right my grandmother. Whom I'll be having to spend this summer with against my will. I noticed that the car was starting to gradually slow drink; we were approaching. I slowly turned my gaze away from my window and out the front one and saw the same hauntingly beautiful mansion I stood in before so many times until recently. It was three stories high and had a color colour to it. Shutters outlined each window wide open revealing the seemingly hundreds of windows plastered across the lie of the house. There was a large pathway leading up to the steps of the main appeal a series of large identical bushes and elegantly carved fountains decorated each side of the go of doom. "Well," my mother spoke for the first time since leaving the airport. "we're here!"I rolled my eyes grabbed my backpack opened the door and got out. My mother opened the trunk from the inside and I went around to the back of the car and took out my luggage bag. By the time I made it to the lie of the car again my mother was already standing by the drivers door holding her keys in both hands giving me a sympathetic look. As we began to walk up the pathway (which seemed to stretch for thousands of kilometers) my mother decided to go away a conversation to try help go the situation."be. I'm really sorry that you have to come here. But you weren't able to stay at your dads house and I really had to take this summer conference which you REFUSED to come to in Taipei. It's actually you're fault that you undergo to spend the summer at your grandmothers. Maybe if you were just a little bit more co-operative we wouldn't.."Rolling my luggage behind me I sped.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
