I visited my friend Tina over the summer holiday season.
We were on school summer break and my parents had finally agreed that I could visit my best friend in another state.
Although she attended school in our state, her parents lived in a different state while she stayed with her grandma in our state. Her life was complicated and her grandma had taken custody of her while her parents sorted out their issues.However, she was free to visit them during the holidays. She had invited me several times but my parents wouldn’t allow it. This holiday I was elated when they let me go because Tona’s grandma was coming with us and they could trust her. I was eager to be out of our state for the first time, and was ready to experience life from a different perspective. Tina’s parents lived in a cool neighborhood. You could tell they enjoyed lots of fresh air when the trees bloom. The huge trees with beautiful flowers were a sight to behold. Even at that, the area was too hot for comfort. Luckily for us, Tina’s parents’ house had a fantastic cooling system. Besides the central HVAC system that ran continuously to keep temperatures controlled, there were a few ceiling fans that blew the breeze in one’s direction. We came to appreciate this when on our third visit the AC suddenly stopped working. It turns out Tna’s mom had forgotten to schedule the routine HVAC maintenance before the summer season began officially. She tried to get a hold of the HVAC technician to help fix the cooling unit to no avail. Were it not for the fact that the HVAC business had a few customers cancel at the last minute, we would have had to use portable ACs for at least three days.
