Prepare To Meet Lyssa
Waking up today before midday I had something to eat and then called Imad to see if he would help me out with delivering Lyssa’s books. Still drowsy and out of bed, I told him he should have some more sleep and I might call him back later.
Thinking that it would be a waste of time to see if Imad was going to come at a later time, I used my computer until 2pm. Then I had a shower.
Lyssa called me before I left. She was asking if I would come to the City today. Without hesitation I told her I would.
I left for Campbelltown at 2pm. Walking past Imad’s house I gave him a call. He was still asleep, so I didn’t care.
Looking To Scam A Concession Ticket
Reaching Campbelltown Train Station an hour early, I visited the ticket machines and noted they didn’t allow concession. There was no way I was paying full fare and didn’t want to approach the ticket people because I wouldn’t get anywhere.
Catching the next available train to Leumeah, I jumped off as soon as the doors opened. Stopping right at the ticket machine, I noted it was also ‘no concession’ and quickly jumped onto the train as the doors closed right behind me.
Stopping at Minto station I jumped off in hope to have a ‘concession’ ticket machine. As the train disappeared in the distance I looked at the ticket machine and noted it was ‘no concession’. Angry, I sat around and was contemplating approaching the ticket man to ask for a student ticket.
Waiting for ten minutes, I noticed that the ticket machine on the other side of the tracks looked like it allowed concession. Running up the stairs and running over, I noticed my train coming and decided in a split second to run back.
As the train pulled up I tried my luck to get a ticket from the ticket man. After receiving my ticket he told me I have to show my student card. Angry that my train had left I took back my money and walked to the other side of the tracks where the machine allowed concessions. While I was purchasing my ticket the train workers jumped onto the loud speaker and told me not to buy my ticket, but I didn’t care.
Deliver DX Envelopes With Lyssa
Walking up the stairs I hid behind them so they couldn’t see me. When the Campbelltown train came I ran down the stairs and jumped on. Stopping at Leumeah I caught the next East Hills train to the City and was laughing.
In Sydney I stopped at St. James and waited for Lyssa. Coming out in five minutes, I gave her a kiss. Then we went to drop off her DX envelopes. While we were traveling to deliver the DX envelopes, Lyssa showed me that she had bought Titanic. Sitting there in awe, I told her that I’d bought it for her. After we had a laugh and delivered the DX, we returned her copy and refunded her money.
Retail Shopping With Rita
We had to meet up with Rita at the front of the QVB. Picking up Rita we visited some shops like Hound Dog where Lyssa bought some pants and some shoes next door. Rita didn’t go to work today. She was shopping all day with four bags of clothes in her hands.
Chatting On The Train Home
After our shopping spree, we had lunch on Pit Street, and then came home on the next train. We all sat together. Lyssa and I kept mucking around on the train.
There was also a young girl in the next seat that was constantly looking at me or Lyssa. Once she was looking at my hat and then next she was looking at Lyssa’s boobs (she was only 12 or 13 years old).
A man sat next to Rita a couple of stops later, as I moved towards Lyssa giving her more room. Rita was reading Cosmopolitan. Every now and again we would all get into a discussion about issues in the magazine. Apart from all that, everyone was chewing gum that Lyssa bought.
Lyssa also remarked that Velda had seen Jewell again last night. Velda noted that she changed her mind about seeing Jewell as unattractive and wearing too much makeup and now thinks she is pretty. Lyssa told me that Jewell has now streaked her hair, which made her look better.
Rita jumped off at Minto to visit Velda. Both of them were visiting Chevy’s tonight, and Rita was only getting two hours of sleep for tomorrow.
An Argument Over Imad
Lyssa and I jumped off at Leumeah. We waited for the bus for a couple of minutes and then started walking. On the way home we had seen the bus driving past. Lyssa was kicking herself for not waiting.
Walking Lyssa back home, we were talking about what we were doing tomorrow night. Lyssa mentioned going to the movies. Then quite abruptly she told me that Imad still had her movie ticket. From there it just started to be an argument and I thought that Lyssa kept the argument going by constantly talking about the problem.
I got angry after I told her I would try to get it back. Lyssa wanted me to call Imad right then and ask for the ticket. I don’t think the ticket was that important but it just keeps haunting me that Lyssa has a fascination with Imad. That’s why she worked the argument into conversation, because she wanted to talk about Imad to me, even if it was an argument.
Walking Off On Lyssa
Because Lyssa wouldn’t pipe down and was getting angry at me, I left for Leumeah train station. Running to catch a train, I just missed it by a couple of seconds. Catching the next train I looked out the window and had seen my bus just leaving. Jumping as fast as I could out of the train I ran as fast as I could to catch the bus at the next stop. The bus stopped at traffic lights. I was almost there but the lights turned red and I missed my bus.
There I was walking home until I reached the roundabout on Jacaranda Avenue. Johnnie had seen me in the dark and went out of his way to give me a lift home. While in the car I told him how my interview went and how stupid the interviewers and the test were. Giving him thanks, I stepped out.
A few minutes later Lyssa called me. The first thing she said was sorry. After a little discussion we were alright.
Sharing Valentine’s Day Presents Early
On the phone tonight I played Lyssa some of the songs on Titanic. She just sat there fascinated and sad. Lyssa also knows that I’ve bought her some lingerie, but I’m not giving her anything until next Friday a day before Valentine’s Day.
On Valentine’s Day Lyssa wants to rent us a hotel room so we can go off. Lyssa is willing to spend around $80. So tomorrow I will call around and try to get Lyssa’s movie ticket back.
At 6pm I’m meeting Lyssa at Campbelltown. Then we are coming to my house to watch a movie and have some good fun.
