Inebriated Rambling

The dusty road down the teachers' carpark, two people approached each other and began rambling about bags. They were Michelle and Evelyn. Evelyn looking rather crimson under the black skies and Michelle, just haggard. Sabrina claimed that she and Evelyn had carried three bags each down the stairs. But Michelle suggested that Evelyn was inebriated from a heavy booze.

Suddenly, the sky seemed so much darker, appearing malicious and sinister. The colour of Evelyn's face didn't fade. She was walking from side to side in an odd way. Stupidly, Michelle decided to join in, ignoring the fact there were other people staring in the churchground. They both started talking madly about bizzare topics which absolutely had nothing to do with them. Criticizing, ranting and simply belligerent. The booze was not wearing off fast enough.

Michelle's eyes started to droop heavily, reflexively causing her to sleepwalk. Evelyn had to go as she saw her car arrived. Michelle left alone, still not very much aware of her surroundings runs into Alicia. Together, they walk towards a Mitsubishi Pajero near the benches.

The black Pajero stands massively tall next to a row of pitiful Kancils. The deafening rumble of the 4WD was even hard to ignore within one mile's distance. Michelle's mother looking rather pleased for Michelle being early as she had promised earlier that day. Michelle grinned mischievously as she thought about her little sister standing in front of Tupperware, an ideal contemplatation. Throughout the drive, Alicia and Michelle discusses their civic project involving charity work. Lesson learned through the conversation, a meeting with only two people makes a faster, better decision.
