Sorry for not posting this sooner. Lately I've been writing short stories that been distracting me from posting the rest of this story. Sorry again.
The rest of chapter two.
“Maria, are you feeling okay? You never fell asleep or went to bed till it was ten.” My mom said as she sat on the other chair while I sat across the room from her. I looked out the window and saw that it was night. What the ********? How long have I been asleep? My mom works at some business and then comes home at seven for a thirty minute break and then goes to her other job.
“I’m fine mom. So what’s to eat?” I was hungry. I guess after sleeping you get hungry. My mom looked down then started to fiddle with her hands. Oh god, she didn’t get anything to eat again. My mom is so stupid sometimes. I looked down and then up. “Whatever, I guess I’ll walk to some restaurant and eat there.” I got up and walked to my room to get my wallet that had a twenty. My mom lets me walk to places at night. She doesn’t have very good controlling skill.
“I’m sorry, Maria.” My mom said as I passed her to get to the front door. Whatever. I turned and looked at her. She was walking to the kitchen, probably getting her pills. Pitiful. I turned and walked out the door. I closed the door and started to walk to a local tofu place. They have some good tofu soups. It also is close to my house, I just have to walk down the block, cross the street and walk a little bit down the street and I’m there.
When I got there, it was kind of busy. There was a lot of Koreans in there too. Each and every one of them looked ******** ugly. I sat down in the corner. The waiter came up to me and put down the menu and asked me, “What would you like to drink?” I looked up at him and remembered him somewhere. I looked at him for a bit and tried to remember but I couldn’t. Oh well.
“I’ll have a sweet ice tea, oh and I’ll order now. I’ll have one of the tofu soups, you can pick for me and if I like it then I’ll tip you good.” I like to do this in some restaurants I go to. It let me try other food that I wouldn’t normally try and if I don’t like it then I get to yell at the waiter. “You got that.”
The waiter wrote it down and nodded. “Yeah.” He walked away and I turned my head and looked out the window. A family was leaving the restaurant, the mom and dad was holding their daughter’s hands and swinging her carefully. They seem happy. But all happy things have to end. I watched as they went into their car and droved away. My dad left my mom and me when I was three. I guess he couldn’t handle me or mom. I don’t blame him. I was sad at first but then I got used to it.
As I was looking out the window, I heard the waiter say, “Here’s your drink.” I turned around and looked at my cup of sweet tea. “Here’s your straw and silverware.” He handed it to me and I put it on the table. “So are you waiting for someone here?” What the hell? Don’t ******** talk to me. I unwrapped my straw and put in my drink and drank some of it. Here we go again.
“Hell no, I’m here by myself, now leave me the ******** alone.” I said it while looking at him. He had this what the hell look. Whatever. I then looked out the window again and sipped some of my tea. He walked away. I could hear him. I looked around and saw that some of the people in there were staring at me. I guess they must have heard. Bitches. So I turned around and said, “Is there a problem?” They looked away real fast and continued doing what they were doing. Pretending they didn’t hear me. [******** idiots.
I turned back around and looked out the window. I was looking at the cars that were driving past this place. It would be interesting if a car crash happened right in front of this place. I then heard someone come over. I turned around and saw my waiter was coming over with a steaming bowl. He put it gently on my table. There were a lot of vegetables in my soup too; there were corn, green beans, tomatoes and of course tofu. Wow this looks good. I was about to start eating it but then all of a sudden my waiter guy asked right in front of my table, “You don’t remember me, do you?” What?
The end of chapter two... so what did you guys think?
