Life is a bit of hell - Cache' Evans (rainbow fish read aloud TXT) 📗

a starter and everything you did really well. It was funny though when you got stuck at the hill. I roll my eyes at him, “Yea whatever, you know what you are pretty mean for somebody who looks so nice.” He cocks his head to the side. “Is that right, do you mean I’m sexy?” I start laughing so hard that I couldn’t stop. “Know your trying to get conceited on me. Yes you’re sexy if that helps with your humongous head.” He stood up and front of me now. “I don’t have a huge head I thought it was pretty normal. Is it really that big gosh I need help fast if that’s right? I mean how I’m going to show my beautiful body to anybody with a huge head like George Lopez.” We both start laughing really hard. “You know you’re pretty sexy yourself. I mean how can you be single, if I’m guessing right.” “Yea you’re guessing right, I’m single and it’s a reason for that I’m pretty picky choosing dudes. I have certain standard that needs to be met. People call me boogie but you can call me anything you want.” I gave him a weak smile. “Well why are you single. I mean I’m just taking a wild guess right here.” He takes a loud sigh and gathers rocks in his hand. “Yea I am I had a bad break up with my girlfriend and every since then I can’t find myself to date anybody else. I guess I’m just I’m still stuck or my heart is still with her. I just want to find that right someone. Not just dating anybody like most guys does. Also its good that you have high standards at least you’re not settling for less. Maybe you’ll find the exact person one day. Maybe that person will be.” He gives me this flirtatious smile. “Thanks, finally somebody agrees with me. I’m not trying to be nosey but why did you and your ex breakup?” “She cheated on me with one of my friends I lost a friend and the girl I love. I guess I suppose to its no way she could be forgiven for him.” “Well maybe you’re wrong about the forgiveness part. I mean did she tell you herself or did you have to find out for yourself?” “She told me herself. I should be glad that at least she told me that.” “Well yea you should be because it would’ve been worse if somebody else told you. Gosh its already getting dark I guess I should get going for my aunt start worrying were I’m at. I’ll see you around maybe we can meet up here again later this week. Bye.” I didn’t give him time to say bye before I start running down the hill to the house.
Aunt Margaret was sitting in the living room by the lamp reading in her antique chair. I walk into the living room and sit on the couch. “Hey Aunt Margaret, I’m sorry for coming in this late.” “Oh honey, don’t worry about it I was just sitting here reading my bible. You know what those Jehovah Witnesses came to my door and I have a copy of their bible. I was reading a little bit of it.” “Oh that’s cool, mama always tells me to tell them we have our own religion and don’t want to be bothered” “Well girl you can’t be sending people off with the message of God. Especially them they’re extremely nice and you never know what they may teach may catch your eye. You should take some time and at least give them a chance. I’m not saying you have to become one of those people. I’m not even one, not planning to either but they’re nice people and so respectful and downright truthful about what they believe in.” “Yea I guess your right they never have been rude. They just seem strange I mean we’re not very religious but mama told me that you use to go to church a lot. What happened with that?” “I’ll tell you about that another time. What have you been up to? I know you don’t know you don’t that much about this town.” “I was hanging with this dude name Dylan. It’s so ironic we met each other on the plane and he was coming to the same place. We were dirt bike riding and just talking and hanging by this pond. Not far from here.” “Oh he comes here every summer to spend time with his father. He wants to move with him but that mother of his won’t let him. He’s nice boy I’m glad you have someone to hang with while you’re here.” She looked like she wanted to ask me something but she just got up and went upstairs. I went to my room and lay in bed looking at how clear the sky was this night. The stars just shined so pretty and before I notice I was dreaming of being backed home. Replaying that night of the party back in my dreams where I couldn’t escape them. I woke up and a sweat so I walked down stairs to get me some water.
The next morning Aunt Margaret was already up cooking breakfast. You could smell the sweet aroma of the eggs and sausage flowing up the stairs. So I took off my scarf and brushed it out and walked down the stairs. I sat at the table with Aunt Margaret back toward my face. “How did you sleep Jay, I know that bed sleeps real well.” “I slept really well and you’re right that bed it does sleep
Well. I slept like a little baby.” We both start laughing. “Well that’s good that you slept well. Do you want some sausage and biscuit for breakfast?” “Yes maim, and thank you I could’ve of got up and cooked myself.” “Child I’ll always be up way before you a less I’m absolutely exhausted or sick. As long as I’m up before you I’ll cook breakfast but what you can do for me is after we eat you can wash these dishes. Then take your shower because we’re going to help my friend out at her farm. “Yes’em what will we be doing on this farm of hers.” “We’ll be milking cows, feeding chickens, and brushing the horses.” I start beaming with excitement. “Oh my gods are you for real I love horses. I’m going to enjoy this. Also this may sound silly but I always wanted to milk a cow.” Aunt Margaret starts laughing so hard that tears are coming down her face. “Wow girl you really can crack somebody up.” We eat and talk about little things. Then I think about my mom. I guess I’ll call her later when we get back in the house. I wash dishes while Aunt Margaret is getting ready. Then I go take a quick shower and get ready. I put some of my beige shorts on with a purple aeropostle shirt with it and my white flip flops.
We get to the farm she has a daughter that’s sixteen. She shows how to milk a cow. It felt so weird but it was very interesting. We chased the chicken I thought it was hilarious because I fell like twenty times. Ali and I then went to horses so we could brush them. “You seem like you like it here.” “Yes I do it’s not as busy as Miami, it’s more peaceful and its pretty fun here. I don’t hang with as many people home.” “Oh well I wish I could I go to Miami. She flashed me a quick smile. Anyways yea I guess it is pretty peaceful here in this small town everybody knows everybody and if you do one thing wrong you’ll be the talk of the town. I don’t hang with many people either. I guess I’m too busy helping my mom with my two twin sisters every since my dad just left one day. Haven’t heard or seen from his since. She stopped and looked at me. I don’t know why but you seem easy to talk to.” I smiled at her, “Well I love making new friends.” Then we were getting wet with the water hose. The time went by so fast Aunt Margaret was coming out to tell me that we’ll be leaving in a little bit. “How about tomorrow we doing something together, I mean if you’re not busy with anything, Ali said.” “No that would be awesome maybe we could go see a movie and then have like a little slumber party.” “Yea that sounds great, I’m an early bird so I’ll call you when I think you’re up and get stuff straightened out with my mom. I’m sure she won’t mind at all. I’ll call you around tenish if that’s ok with you?” “Yea that sounds good I’ll be up. I’ll talk to my aunt. Well I’ll see you tomorrow.” Aunt Margaret was beeping her horn like a maniac so I ran to the car. “I’m sorry Ali and I was planning something for tomorrow.” Aunt Margaret looked delighted at that. “You seem to make friends easily here. What are ya‘ll planning to do tomorrow. Her mom been wanting her to hang out with people her age every since her dad ran off and left them. That no good sucker if I ever see him I’m going to shoot him and blow him off the face of the earth. I can’t believe somebody just can pick up and leave their family like that.” “Yea that sounds terrible but we’re planning to go to the movies and I was wondering can she spend the night with us tomorrow?” “Yes she surely can as long as it’s ok with her mother but I’m sure it is.” We rode to Wal- Mart to get a rotisserie chicken and some rolls to eat for dinner. “I’ll order pizza for ya’ll tomorrow and ya’ll can go to the store and load up on junk food.” “This is my first time really having like a little slumber party. So this should be fun.” She shook her head, “I can’t believe your mom never let you have slumber parties. She had them all the time when she was growing up they’ll do each other nails and hair and giggle until they fall asleep and talked about boys. Which your mom never lacked in that field of finding it was always the type of men she choose to led me to yell and try to lead her in the right direction. She always had her own mind though she is so stubborn just like our father and a know it all. She’s always been very ambitious though and that’s one thing I’m glad she had she never had to depend on anybody financially. You’re not totally like her but this summer maybe you’ll discover some things out that you never knew about yourself. You look so much like her but it seems like you have a different aspect on life.” I smile at my aunt not just because she doesn’t compare how we act even though we do look alike she doesn’t say you act just like your mother like everybody else tells me. I also smile because some of this my mother would never discuss with me it’s like she spends time keeping her childhood and anything else from me that she doesn’t think will fit in our life. Everything she has told me hasn’t been much and I always wonder why she tries to be so secretive about her childhood. I want to ask Aunt Margaret about but I figure it’s not the best time so I’ll wait later. Like she said later on in this summer I’ll discover more about me that I never even knew about myself or I knew it
