This is the third chapter...

Connies father has slept all morning until 12, her mother had left early. She said she had one new house to do some last Christmas "cleaning" in so that the family could have their Christmas in a clean house.

Connie had ben instructed on a piece of paper how to prepare the Christmas food and she had also set the table and made everything so nice.

Her mom finally comes home, all steamy and said she was going to the shower.

Twenty minutes later she came into the kitchen and checked on everything. She said not much just hm hm hm and OK. 'Lets eat.'

They all sat down by the table and Connies Father said the prayer.

'Thank you god for the food you bring us this Christmas, Thank you for letting us have this Christmas lunch together, Amen.'

Connie never closed her eyes while they prayed, she was always looking at the others to see if they got any contact with God, as a flash or something, but had so far in 17 years never seen anything special so she thought she might just start to close her eyes as well. Then she wanted to ask her parents about the presents... She felt scared that she was going to get more things to do at home if she started to ask to much, because then she would not be able to work anymore neither, do her homework and finally she would end up without, money, without the Spring Break trip nor the High School Diploma.

'So Connie, how has your morning been?' Her mom finally aksed her.

'Well, finally Santa Claus has been nice to me and he brought me a travel bag, a French Dictionary and a nice book I have already started to read.'

'Nothing else? Hu, Well I have something for you. I have gotten one more cleaning contract so now I will be able to help you out with the trip, if you deserve it... You will have to understand that if you fail any school grade you will be so not going on that trip. And We have talked about if you possibly have any friend you could make come with you? All alone in Europe? You have none to rely on there.'

'Well I could ask around, maybe my French Teacher want to go as well? That way I would have someone that speak well French. I might be able to find someone in France that I can come to. I have heard of Exchange programs?'

'OK, do some checking around, because I certainly don't want you to travel all alone.'

'OK mom I will see what I can find.'

After the lunch Connie wrote a letter to Peter:

"Dear Peter, I am almost done with the lobbying with my parents and I am looking forward seeing you. How are you? I miss you every time you aren't here on the Facebook or Skype. I like so much to hear your voice.

You know my parents want me to have someone to travel with together, do you happen to know a way to make Exchange or something? Couldn't you find a way?

Love ya

/CON"

Connie used her alias CON wen she wanted to show that she loved Peter.

Then she went into her bathroom and was going to blond her hair, she was soo excited, she was vibrating. She needed this change.

During the whole Christmas holyday she had been promised extra work ad she worked and worked as much as she could. She went every opened day to the K-mart and she worked in their cash register. It made her back hurt and she felt that hard work like that was not her thing. She thought her future was trouble free driving or riding a cab in the City of Monte Carlo, and maybe have a glass of Champagne in the Casino.

When finally school started again she thought of asking her teacher if she was intrested in going to Monaco with her.

When Connie went into the class room Where Ms. Echebeste used to have class, she saw instead a young man sitting by the desk. He were not bad looking, green sparkling eyes and a nice blond curl, a very sporty looking man.

The class started and he presented him self as Mr. Jones. he was french as well as Ms Echebeste but she had had a car accident during the Christmas holydays so she was in hospital with a broken leg. Connie thought that she had lost a good possibility to get one of her best travel companies. So it was to look for someone else. Maybe Rebecca?

She wrote Rebecca a note: "Hello how has Christmas been?"

She got a note back: "Nothing new, parents fighting, my big brother is trying to make it with me and I am soo sick and tired of it all. And you?"

Connie again: "Well I am also sick of this life, but I have an idea about how to do! Do you wanna hear?"

Rebecca looked surprised and nodded, so Connie wrote fast now.

"You know, I though of getting myself a rich and good looking man in Europe and get married and live nice, as we were fancying about as small playing princesses. And I have found one, but he lives in Monaco, so I will have to go on a long trip during spring break. My parents want me to go with a friend, so I want to ask you to come with me."

Rebecca looked sad and wrote: "I don't know lately my parents have less money. They are hireing cleaner for the house, but it is messier than ever and they seem to have less money and actually I am afraid to ask. How much could a trip like that cost?'

"Well it would be about 2000 Dollars, flight and living, but I have the boyfriend that will let me into his house, so you could live in the hostel, that way you will need only 1000 Dollars."

"You are nuts, where would i search for that kind of money? And it is soon! In a few months only."

"Well let me know if you can find a way..."

Rebecca read and looked sad.

Riiiing, the class were over and the teacher said something uncomprehensive in French.Here I will publish chapter by chapter but If you want the complete book, in KINDLE or Pocket write "Martin Liss" in http://Amazon.com
