locked out of the door

it's was about the Thursday 2 weeks ago after school...
Jordan took me and Gustavo(my 17-year-old Brazilian roomate) to church
he said it's just about an hour
so when Gustavo tried to grab his wallet
Jordan said he didn't need that
before we were getting out of the house,Wanda and Jasmine were still at home.

after an hour later
we went back from the church
Jordan said he wanna go somewhere else
so he dropped us in front of the house and JUST LEFT
then we went to the door and pushed the doorbell
....................
no one answered.....
tried again.........
....................
still no answer.....
(shit.....)
WE WERE LOCKED OUT OF THE DOOR IN AMERICA !!!

we didn't have cell phone at that time
and i didn't bring the phone numbers with me !!!
so i asked, "Gustavo, do u ahve the phone numbers with you?"
"no, it's in my wallet. i tried to get my wallet,
but Jordan said I don't need it"
"......."

it's was about 7:00 PM
the sky was still pretty bright
so we dicided to take a walk
suddenly, we seemed have heard voices from cheerleaders
"Jericho, listen !!!"
"what ?"
"Is it cheerleading?"
"sounds like that, but there's no school around."
"let's go and see that"(he was very excited...)
"OK....we can't do anything else anyway....."
then we followed the sound....
the sounds were getting louder...
we were getting excited...
"it's behind the house!!! Let's check it out !!!"
.......
showed up a bunch of little girls....
about 7 to 10 years old
(what the heck.......)

"let's take a walk towards the sunset. it's pretty nice."i said
"OK...let's go"
the sunset in that evening was really beautiful
too bad i didn't have my camera with me
i forgot how long the walk took
after we were back to the house
it's already dark

then we sat in front of the door, chatting
"it's not so bad actually"Gustavo said
"it's not so cold. it's not snowing or raining."
how optimistic...
but it's true
(after several days later...it's getting cold and sometimes raining...)
"i think u r right"i said
then we were talking about something else...

about 8:30 pm...i guess
"maybe we should ask help from the neighbors..."i said
"I don't think that's a good idea...we just wait"he said
"OK...."
after a while
"come on, let's give it a try."
i got up and walked to the neighbor at right hand side
and rang the doorbell
a few seconds later
a figure showed up behind the door
looking like a old lady
but she hesitated there and just wouldn't open the door
(she must have been frightened by strangers knocking on the door)
minutes later, an old man opened the door
i told him our intention
but they don't know about the Robinsons
"we only met them once"
"it sounds terrible that we don't know our neighbors, but that's what it is"
but he still helped us th check the yellow pages and made the phone call
the result was just as we had thought...
nobody was home.....
"thank u sir"i said
"and tell the lady i'm sorry that i scared her"

we went back and sat down at our front door again
"maybe we should try another neighbor"i said
"NO....THEY WON'T KNOW THE ROBINSONS EITHER"GUSTAVO SAID.....
"alright.....you are probably right"i kind of agreed
so we kept waiting...
then we saw some one coming out of the left hand side house...
i decided to take a shot
so i got up and went to an old lady
and i told her what happened
"OH, I KNOW THE ROBINSONS...I THINK I HAVE THEIR PHONE NUMBERS"
".........."
(why didn't ask them for help at the very begining.......)
so they lent me the phone to call Tyron(homestay father)
in the call, he taught me how to get in from the garge
but i didn't quite understand
so i asked Nancy and Smiley(the elder couple)
to help me listen to him
and they would help me to get in the house

when we went towards our house, excitedly....
THERE WERE PEOPLEALREADY IN THE HOUSE.....
"......." (what the heck again.......)


it was the second week since i was in America
what an expierence..... or i should say...adventure.....
