33.3 EVERSON
"It seems you're quite serious about Trina; you've been with her for about a month now." George teased Archer, even playing his fingers on his arm, causing the latter to withdraw away from him. We came to Spencer's house to play video games, but we're currently eating a snack in their dining room.
"Right! You're so loyal to Trina, in contrast to what happened to me. My ex and I barely lasted five days." Spencer butts in, pouting his lips with ketchup because of how messy he is while chewing on his hamburger. He has the audacity to woo girls while still behaving like a child. Troy smacked him lightly on the back of the head for his stupid remark. We chuckled, but we quickly went silent because Archer's face was solemn and he didn't seem happy about it.
"Why? Is there a problem, Arch?" Spencer asked, reaching for a napkin to wipe the ketchup smear on his lip

I never imagined I'd be able to reach the age of fifteen with my father still living in our house. He's still working, but he doesn't have a regular job, and mom is still working as a maid at Leviticus' house because aunt Brianna didn't want to let her quit, maybe because of the fact thatshe had become her friend. Mom's pay was also increased, and we were given groceries every week. Because our family was so close to them, Mayor Arthur insisted that I continue to refer to him as 'uncle' rather than the formal one. After all of their help, I realized they were not as evil as others made them out to be.I frequently stayed at Archer’s house after he recovered, and I think that my dad became terrified and scared of Archer's father, which was also the beginning of him not hurting me anymore. One Saturday afternoon, as I was heading to swim practice at school, my dad accompanied me. That day I had a

The next few days were difficult since Mom was hit by a car, which the driver claimed had lost its brakes. Mom's injuries that she got from the accidentwereterrible, especially on her two legs that had become stuck on the car wheels. Mom had been in the hospital for a month, and each day felt like a powerful storm slamming into my life, straining my patience to the limit.Due to extensive damage, Mom had to have one of her legs amputated, while her other leg remained paralyzed as a result of the trauma she had experienced. Since then, she has had to rely on a wheelchair. It kills me so much as a teen to see her suffer while adjusting to her new depressing life. Sometimes I caught her silently crying while simply staring at her legs, and that just crushed my heart. She once apologized to me since she could no longer work and provide me a good life because she is now handicapped. I can't take hea

I'm walkinghome with a great burden of guilt on my shoulders. It is true that it is difficult to pick what weighs more than the two things that are important to you when you are in a scenario where you must choose between them. When I blinked, my tears fell, leading me to pause and just stare at the moon in the starry sky, wondering if at least one day my life would change, that just once I would have a better life than this.When I heard a few footsteps approaching, I carefully turned in front of me. I was surprised for a moment while catching my breath as a combination of emotions erupted inside of me after recalling Kaye's troubles that we had talked about earlier, and the anger in my chest became heavier when I saw Archer’s face.He came to a stopjust a few steps away from me; we were near our house, and a few houses still had their lights

"Please deliver this to Joyous Delights bakery, son. You know, miss Jade, right? Give it to her; she already paid for it." I quickly nodded to Mom and grabbed themedium box of strawberries she was gesturing at on the table."OK, mom, I'll be back immediately." Mom smiled at me as she continued toplace the fruits in the cartons on the table that she was preparing for me to deliver to the houses that had placed orders with us.Because the sun was so bright, I wore a cap. It's a beautiful day for some, and there are many children playing in our neighborhood. Outside the house, our neighbors were chatting, but when they noticed me, they stopped and gazed at me with judging eyes. They constantly do it when they see my mom and me, until I grow used to it.I moved away from their stares and began walking. I kno

But I never thought Mom was right about all she said, because I never expected to see Sierra again after that day."These are our new orders, son. Make sureyou'll be able to deliver them right away." Mom noted. It's currently our school vacation, so I'm already dressed in my uniform for my job at a convenience shop. So now, I'm filling my free days by getting all the jobs I could get.I have three medium boxes to deliver, which are piled on the floor. It's only a few minutes till my afternoon shift, and if I deliver them one at a time, I'll be late."What is it, son?" When Mom noticed me baffling over the boxes, I instantly shook my head at her to answer her confusion. I knelt and began reading the names of the customers, but I paused when I came across the name of Jade in one of the boxes; it had been a week

Three days have passed since my last talk with Sierra—such a ridiculous and brave thing for me to say that we actually had a conversation when it was just us mocking each other and me slowly going into a momentary stupor because of her.When I pass by their bakery, I often see her busy serving their customers; she never noticed me stealing a glance inside. I'm not sure what happened in my head, but I immediately got interested in that woman — not because I likeher, but rather because I felt a connection with her. I'm at a loss for words on how to explainwhat kind of 'connection' I was conveying. Maybe she just made such a strong first impression tome that she flipped me hard that I want to grab her attention now. I've never felt this way about any other girls, and it's the first time I've ever felt this way about a girl."Bro, stro

I never expected our meeting to be followed by another, and every time I deliver fruits to them, she now smiles and greets me. She also pays me visits on occasion when I work the night shift at a store. Sierra and I became close friends, and despite the fact that she frequently only delivered me sarcasm, I still enjoy her company.I recall asking her why she wanted me to be her friend because that didn't seem to be in Sierra McCarthy's mentality, but she just raised her shoulders and replied, 'why not, I'm bored.' Maybe it's Sierra's sarcasm and her ability to be unbothered by everything that I admire about her. And she is also quite unpredictable; one minute I believe I know her, but the next she blows my mind since she shows lots of new things to me every time."You know, you're like a cross between a good boy and a bad boy?" She said that out of nowhere. Whe
