CHAPTER 1
Eva
I have dreams to become so rich, I want to be like congress Ann .. as I pass through beautiful houses along side with April my best friend .
You should think of going to school Eva ! Said April as she touches the walls of each building,
chuckles
.
I need to go now aunt Maria will be looking for me I said to April smiling at the building we both staring at .
Wat a day to remember, I had to rush down to my aunt who always wants me working Like an elephant and eating like an ant what a waste of my time dreaming how to become rich .
Eva……
Maria calls
how many times will I tell you to hurry when it’s time for work
she drags my ear
I was just 16 and I had a lot of dreams but I guess it’s only a dream what does a poor orphan like me knows anyways
thinking out-loud
, aunt Maria,,, I’m here already you don’t have to drag those poor ears of mine
I said boldly, like the stubborn Mexican that I am
. You should learn how to respect your elders Eva i can drag both ears if I want to don’t talk Back!
She said holding my both ears
” ouch that’ hurts “I quickly removed her hands off my ear
she walked towards her drawl to give me some money to get some water to sell on the street that’s what we do when we have no parents .. Were is my money……..
she said with a loud tone
where is my money you little thief
she turned to me stretching her right palm
I was so confused because I hadn’t gotten home on time, maybe Doris took it aunt
I said helplessly
shut ur mouth you thief you stole my money, you will pay for this ..
she pointed at me
No aunt I didn’t steal no money ! My aunt knows I was telling the truth but like the says goes “truth is bitter”. You are going to pay through ur nose … no food no water you will starve…..
she chuckles
omg I always starve
placed my hands on my head while I shake it
the worst never gets to end as everything bad my name is mentioned but wen it’s for good it’s Doris .
Doris is my cousin and she aways wants to look pretty but she ugly
chuckle
I have to go to April I think she would help me with some food, she always helps me i pray she doesn’t get tired one day .
