I’m still cursing Mr. C out in my head as I arrive back at camp. As soon as I get there, I receive a call from my boyfriend, Byron. Byron: *on the phone* I didn’t hear from you yesterday. How’s Sulani? I’m tempted to play it up as I did…
Prosperity: Gran! What are you doing here? Alice: I’m here checking out the aquarium. Why else would I be here? Prosperity: I’m just surprised to see you. Alice: You seem upset. Is everything okay? The last thing I need is for Gran-Alice to suspect that things are less than kosher…

Gran-Alice and pop-pop have already started their day when I get up and get ready to move out. I find Gran-Alice at her computer. Prosperity: Good morning, gran! Alice: Good morning, Peri. No chance I can talk you out of leaving today? Prosperity: It’s already a done deal. Alice: Well,…
I follow the lady at the café’s instructions while realizing that I never got her name. I make a mental note to find it out if I ever run into her again. I get off the ferry and make my way to an area that consists of tents and one…
I was so young the last time I visited grandma and pop-pop that I don’t remember anything except celebrating a birthday here. I do remember the colors though…so bright and pretty. Once we arrive, grandma Alice shows me the room where I’ll be staying. Alice: This used to be your…
Prosperity “Peri” Banks’s growing up was a lot different than her mother, Alida’s. Peri had a privileged life growing up well-off in a two-parent family in Oasis Springs’ suburbs. Everything is aligned to ensure that Peri has a promising future, but there’s a rebellious streak and a unique way of “seeing”…
