Are You Hearing Voices?

P. 73

After Jason said the closing tasleem, he got up from his praying position and went and sat down next to Christy on the white couch in the middle of the living room.

Christy was in deep thought, her hand was still rested underneath her chin as she blankly gazed at the television. Jason turned his head to look at her, she didn't even notice that he was looking until after a few minutes. She slowly spun her head around and realized that he was staring right at her.

"What?" She said.

Jason hesitated for a moment. "I'm just... Amazed by your extraordinary beauty."

Christy blinked and slowly shook her head from side to side. Then she moved the plate of food that was on the table over to him.

Jason quickly grabbed the fork off the table and began to eat.

"I love you." He said as he dug his fork in the plate and put a morsel of rice in his mouth.

"Whatever." Said Christy, she turned her head back to the TV.

Jason continued to eat, he was stuffing his face. He ate like a dog.

"You hungry?" Christy asked.

Jason ignored her question. "Bae can I ask you a question?" He said instead.

"Yes Jason..." Christy said under her breath.

"Can you please do my homework for me please?" He asked.

Christy quickly turned her head to face him.

"No boy!" She said.

"WHYY? Jason cried out and asked.

"Cuz you won't learn nothing if I do it for you. You gotta do it yourself." Christy said.

"But... Idk how." Jason said.

"What you mean you don't know how? Just do it Jason!"

"Bae but... I'm sooo lost! I need help."

"Yes... You do." She said as she shuffled her legs on the couch and faced Jason.

"What's your homework boy?" Asked Christy.

"I gotta write this stupid paper for Mr. Moretta about 'A life changing moment' in my life'. Then I gotta talk about why it was life changing." Jason said, then he took another spoonful bite.

"Okay well... Did you start?" She asked.

"No. I don't know how to."

Christy sighed. "Jason, it's not that hard. Just think about an event that occurred in your life that was life changing." She said.

"I...I...Idk!" Jason took another bite and said.

"Can you do it for me?" He asked as he was chewing.

"How do you expect me to do it for you Jason? Idk the damn details of your life!"

"Just make up something." He said.

"Omg..." Christy said.

Then she got up from the couch and went up the stairs to her room. A few seconds later she came back down with her white HP Laptop. She opened it up and went to the Microsoft Word Processor program. Then she lifted up the laptop and sat it on Jason's lap.

Jason started at it with perplexity as it was on top of his lap.

"What the hell am I supposed to do with this?" He asked.

"Boy... start writing!" Christy said.

"Bae I told you... Idk how." Jason said.

"You gotta think about it Jason, what was big that happened in your life?" She said.
