The magic keeper

Chapter 6: Aunt Yolla

"Oh! Look at you guys! You've become men!"

Like always, aunt Yolla almost killed us with kisses.

"Selena! It's always good to see you! And Henry! My brother! I missed you all soo much! Welcome back to your country! To your

home!"

She also said lots of other stuff that I didn't listen to.

Me and David sat first, not waiting for the end of her speech.

"Ugh."

"I'm bored."

"You're always bored David."

"Because everything is boring today."

"Yeah."

My parents and my aunt came to sit and started to chat.

"So, are the boys visiting you?" My mom asked.

"Carey comes twice a month. But Tom can't visit often because of his job."

That was all I heard from the conversation. Instead, I was thinking about that game, 'Risk', I should've open it and check its insides

more. I'll just do it this evening.

********************

When we were standing in the doorway, my aunt's hopes were too high for her own good.

"You'll come tomorrow, right?"

I saw David's hands clunch into fists.

"I don't know" Mom said, "But I don't think so because David wants to go out with some friends, and he needs the car."

"Ohh! My little boy drives?"

"Not far from home, he doesn't have his license, he's only seventeen."

"Oh I see. And how old are you Roy?"

"Sixteen."

"They grow up so fast!"

"We gotta go", my dad said, "see you soon yolla"

"Are you sure you don't wanna stay for dinner?"

"No thanks", dad said, "we should go, bye."

"Bye."

As we were heading to the car, I think I heard David mumble something like 'yeah maybe tomorrow next year'. I hit him with my

elbow. He just glared at me.

To be honest, he has a point, she's pretty annoying sometimes.
