Отрывок из книги
My adoptive parents pretty much owned the small town of Baton Rouge, LA. Well, my adoptive father anyway, Cassandra is just married to Eric. I know that I am supposed to love and care for the people who took me out of foster care and gave me a home, but I can’t stand them. It’s not because he’s black and she’s white they aren’t my real parents. We just don’t agree at all about my future. They want me to go into the family business of Law. I know it’s probably selfish to just think about myself and maybe even a little ungrateful that I have parents who are willing to give me anything I want, but for some reason that’s not me. I like to work for what’s mine so that I don’t have to worry about anyone coming to take it within a blink of an eye.
“Well, this is a big surprise.” I stated as I rubbed my hand against my pants thigh hoping to get some of the sweat off. “I wasn’t expecting a party for me. I’m glad to see everyone and thank you for being here and……” I paused for a while debating whether to say that I loved them back. I swallowed in order to build the words together and replied with a small smile, “I love you mom and everyone here.” I could tell that made her happy to hear me call her mom. “Aww, Kaitlyn we love you too, we all do.” Cassandra’s mother smiled through her tears as she looked like she been cutting onions with big raindrops of tears rolling down her face.
.....
After all of the hugging, crying, talking, and laughing, with Cassandra and relatives, it was finally time to eat some grub. I can’t even tell you how much I missed a good home cooked meal. We had everything you could possibly name on the table. It was almost like Thanksgiving, but in the spring time. “Boy, Kait I don’t care what they say about your mama.” Stan said to me as he was feeding his face. “What’s that?” I said to Stan with a smirk on my face because he was making me be nice by calling her mom. “Your mom may be white, but she has a black person’s soul. Just taste the chicken and you’ll understand what I’m saying.” Everyone laughed in agreement with him stating that fact. I nodded my head as well. I may have not liked her as a person, but she really could cook.
I waved goodnight to my relatives with a forced smile as I was sitting on the porch swing. Cassandra was walking towards me as she was waving goodbye as well. “Did you enjoy yourself?” Cassandra asked and my reply was just a nod. “Did you enjoy spending time with family?” Again, I am not related to none of these people, why does she insist on acting like I really belong here? “Kaitlyn, I wished you would just answer me and not give me the silent treatment.” I looked at her with a nonchalant face and said, “I just want to enjoy my first day of freedom in peace.” Before I knew it I had replied with such an attitude. It wasn’t my intention to make her feel as if I wasn’t thankful. I saw how my words changed her mood so I quickly made a comeback. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to get angry, of course I enjoyed everyone.” I said apologetically to Cassandra. “It’s ok, I know you didn’t mean it. You’ve had a rough time. Ever since you……….” I could tell she had to catch herself before saying anything else. “It’s kind of chilly out here and I know you hate the cold so I’m gonna stay out here for a little while longer.” I said to her as I didn’t want her to get the wrong idea that we were best friends now. “Okay.” She said as she kissed me on my forehead before going back in to the house. Eww, did she really just put her lips on me? I immediately became disgusted.
