Everybody liked Fridays. Oliver did too. He would finally take a break from school for the weekend and if he was lucky and no one was at home, he would enjoy the weekend quietly. Or maybe not. A frown formed on his face when he remembered it was truly Friday today. Both Simon and Amanda would be coming to force him to attend a party with them. How much he hated parties!
After getting ready for school, he walked stealthily to the living room. He was hoping to escape before the housekeeper would compel him to have breakfast, but he hadn't expected to see the man of the house at home.
They bumped into each other at the bottom of the stairs. Oliver had just gotten to the living room while Mr. Walker was heading upstairs.
Oliver stared at him awkwardly, not knowing what to say or do. Mr. Walker also returned his stare.
"Uhm... hello?" Oliver almost cringed at how weird he sounded.
