Today is the day. We’re finally going on our trip to Brazil. I am beyond excited. All my friends came to see me off. I’m not sure why Christina’s parents are here but I didn’t question it too much. I give everyone a hug and just as we’re about to get in the cab Mrs. Aguilar asks me to wait.
“Yes?” I ask.
“We wanted Chris to open her gift now, while you’re here,” she says.
“Um ok. But we have to leave soon,” I say.
She hands Chris an envelope and Chris groans, “Ugh mom not another savings bond. You get me one every year.”
“Open it you ungrateful child,” she says.
Chris opens the envelop
