I walked down the stairs back into the living room just worried what the kids might do or act towards me. While I was thinking ms.k pulled me out of my thoughts and asked me if I wanted to go in the kitchen with her and I said sure cause I wanted to know what the hell is she cooking that got the whole place smelling like that.
''So ms.k, how many kids do you have?''
''I have 11 kids in this whole house, and let me tell you honey they are a handful.'' she said.
''Oh ok so what you cooking over there cause you got the whole house smelling like you in the south'' I said.
She laughed and said ox tails and rice and beans. I remember when my mom use to cook that. She looked much better than now, bake then she had long curly hair that was reddish-brown and she had the most softies skin in the world and she had that smile that would warm your heart. Now she just looks like she got his by a car or something. Like her hair is just nappy and them teeth is yellow as all hell looking like a yellow marker and her skin is red and pale with black circles around some parts of her body. She just looks old and she's only 35 years old. That's sad.
I jumped of the sound of the doorbell and heard ms.k laughing. Then I heard kids some sounded like boys and girls and then this tiny voice that was cute. I heard ms.k telling the kids that there was another kid here to stay and all that stuff. After she said that there was so many questions that were coming at her all at once. I also heard Jane laughing too. 'is it a girl or a boy' one said the other said 'where she from?' another said 'she cute?' and everyone just looked at this boy. I popped my head back around the corner so they wouldn't see me.
''Boy.....'' ms.k warned then people started giggling and stuff.
''Everyone there is a girl here and her name is si'mya and she's going to be staying with us until she gets home to stay in.''
''So she's just like us then, no mama or daddy just hurt and pain'' this one girl had said. She had black hair but that's all I can see of her cause she was hiding her face. Everyone looked at her and she rolled her eyes and ms.k shook her head. Maybe that's someone I need to stay away from.
'' Guys I want you to meet Si'Mya."
I came out with my head high cause my dad always told me to keep you head high where ever you go. As I walked in people looked at me with wide eyes, I smiled and gave a small wave. This little girl came up to me and put her arms up as if she wanted to be held. When I picked her up they all looked shocked. I didn't understand why but hey that's life?
''So si'mya do you want to tell them about yourself, its ok if you don't wan to''
''Nah no thanks I'm good." I said to ms.k
She said ok and told everyone that it's time to eat. We all ate and people asked questions about me and stuff and then it was time to go to bed. Everyone got ready and before I could go to sleep, ms.k gave me a bus pass, a phone, lunch money, my school paper work (all the kids got to the same school at the house) and that was it. I sat there and thought about how this is a way to make it out of here without no drama and find my own way in life.
sorry guys i'm like really out of it but i'll update soon but make sure you commit and vote ok............. thanks loves
