Chapter 19
"And that's how I scared my neighbor's cat"says Angel's friend Andy as he bends over clutching his stomach wheezing with laughter like he just told a spectacular joke.
I personally don't understand why he feels the need to tell us this story for the third time today.How does one stay so happy after laboring like a cow with no pay at all?
Angel on the other hand is quietly spacing out like he usually does with beads of sweat on his forehead.I've always wondered how these two are even friends.
"You guys are no fun"says Andy"This story is hilarious"
I roll my eyes and get up from the dirt floor as the bus approaches us and we get on board.
As I approach the house I feel a little amount of joy now that I can finally wash the consequences of hard labor off my body.My whole body aches and I have a headache.
As I pass the dining room I notice that there's no lights on or food on the stove.
Sigh mama probably fell asleep, I'll just have to make my own food.
