Überall stapelten sich Moebelstuecke, die Regale an den Wänden waren voll mit Büchern, Kerzenleuchter, Statuen und lauter Kleinkram.

Langsam bahnte ich mir den Weg durch das Wirrwarr exotischer Götzenfiguren, alten Schreibtischen und Schränken und erblickte hinter einem Tresen einen alten Mann der gerade ein. There were not many people in there, so I sat at the end of the bar and ordered a wine. The owner (Luc) was working. I met Luc a couple times from earlier in the week and on previous trips. He asked where Bill was, so I had to tell him at work we were going to leave earlier but I guess he had issues to deal with at work and was not sure when he would get away, so he told me to have fun and to have a few drinks. Luc laughed a little and we talked about whatever. There were two guys playing pool. It wouldn’t be Richard without the beacons of his personality, his array of smiles. Daryl had been with Richard through the better part of his life. While serving as his personal chauffeur and valet he had become Richard’s close confidant and friend, standing at his side when needed. As Richard took a step towards his favorite restaurant a young woman suddenly appeared in his path. Before Daryl could react she requested, ‘Sir, could I borrow a couple of dollars? I haven’t eaten in days.’ . ” Mrs. Rodriguez said from her desk. I hung my head in embarrassment before stealthily taking out my phone and looking to see who the message was from. Quinlee! Maybe she had done what I asked and gotten me some info on whether or not Nicole’s into me!Wait wait, I should slow down and explain who Quinlee and Nicole are. See, not only am I in Calculus, but I’m also a cellist in string orchestra. Orchestra is where I met most of my friends, including Fred, Halo, and Quinlee. Quinlee is another.
