I Don't Care


"I don't care." I looked at my brother with a serious face. He just shrugged and looked to my mother.
"Micky, leave your sister alone. If she likes these ridiculous Japanese cartoons, then leave her alone." I glared at my mother and she leaves the poster on my bed and walks away from my room.
"When are they going to stop bothering me?" I sat on my bed as I grabbed a piece of tape to tape my poster on the wall. I sighed and backed off a bit to see my poster.
"Bleach." I moved my head back and forth and liked how it was.

I am going to confess that I really like anime and reading mangas too. I actually don't care what people say or what they think, everybody has their own opinion, and what ever it is, I only care of what I think.
'Oh those things are going to drain your brain!' or 'What are they going to do for your life?' I just don't care. It's the same as all the girls going crazy for Justin Bieber. I don't like him, but I bet all those 100 million girls out there don't care at all.
Anime is something I love to see and it always make me laugh. It's what i do when I'm bored.
I am going to confess that I like anime...I'm a fan.

Been a Mouse



Men are like mice,
smart and sneaky.
Trying to get to the cheese,
just like George and Lennie.
That small
piece of land,
their only way out.
Where they
can be happy,
where Lennie
can pet
all those animals,
but it is hard
when you have
a cat right outside
where that piece
of cheese is.
Both
Curley and his wife.
Also smart,
and have the power
to find those mice
and eat them up.
Mice can be smarter,
or they can be
an easy bate.
Be careful,
George,
Lennie.

Trying to be Part of It


When you always move to a new school or place, you always want to be seen like a non-weird person. A person that thinks the same way and always will have the same opinion and acts the same way as the other people.
I remembered that day very well. It was my first day of class and everybody was always in their own group. There are these girls that look at me and then gossip at their group. I don't even know if they are saying nice stuff about me or they are judging my looks. I feel a bad aura when I just pass by them. That was what I felt that day.
I decided to not be the weird one in my class. I changed my hair, the way I would act and I how I was, but it just made it worse.
"Oh my god. She is so annoying. Is she following us or something?" I heard one of the girls say as they walked to their next class. After that day, every time I move to a new school, i would remember that day so that I don't make that same mistake again.

Its Not Only Me

"I hate her so much!" I ran up the stares and slammed the door of my room. My mom sighed and went up stares too.
"Hey Caty," She opened slowly the door," can you tell me what happened?" She walked and sat next to me on my bed. I sobbed as I tried to tell her the story,
"No...Noris ah...as...al...always doesn't teh...teh...tell th...the...t...tr...uth and I...I...wah...want...t...to...tru...trust...her...b...but sh...she...k...eep...s oh...on...l...ly...lying!" I started to cry until I didn't have any tears on my eyes.
"Caty, stop crying, you know Noris just wants to do the best for you. She never ment to hurt you." She hugged me and I calmed down a bit, but I was still mad at her.
"So what exactly happened?" I stood up and took a couple of long breathes knowing it was going to be a long story.
"So, I went down to skate board and I stayed there riding the skateboard for a couple of hours. I go back in and I realized she was reading and I go up o.k. I go up and I noticed for some reason, she completely moved all my stuff away. I couldn't find anything. So I go down and ask her if she 'organized' my room, and she was the only one in the house I tell you, but for some reason she didn't. I told her that yeah she must of because I didn't organize my room while stake boarding outside, I mean, I know I can do stuff at the same time, but that was so obvious. Why does she have to lie, does she think I'm going to eat her if she actually did? Then it became a huge fight of if I was wrong or if she was wrong. Mom I'm tired of her, this is not fair!" I sit down again and my mom laughs at the whole story.
"I know you want me to fire her, but you know she has a different life than us. Her life depends on this job.
Think about it, without this job, she won't be able to buy the medicine for her mother and father. The only thing she would eat would be rice and beans, and maybe not even that because she won't be able to afford the seeds. She is hanging by a thread. Her life is really different from ours, and you know that without her, we would actually be in disorder. So, please think of this and realize that she is just shy and scared.
Some people don't have a life filled with diamonds and beautiful dresses. Sometimes is the way around. What I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't fight because of this, O.K.?" She kissed my forehead and left my room.
After that day, I realized that I should be grateful to have what I have now.

A Gaze in Rapture

"Ready, Caty, Mickey?" My brother and I nodded, my mom turned on the the engine of the car and we started to head to El Dorado for a party at a friends house.
After 20 minutes driving, we dot to this huge white house with garlands on both sides and a huge space to fit five monster trucks.
"Wow! Henry's house is so big." I looked up and realized it was about 3 floors. The door opened and Henry-my brother's friend- came out and showed us in: The whole house was clean, organized, and it was very big.
"By the way, Victoria is down stairs." I walked slowly and greeted everybody. Although I tried to stay calm, I knew the boy I liked was here.
"Keep it cool, don't go crazy." I took long deep breathes and walked my way down, but because I was so nervous, I shrieked and jumped.
"OK, Keep it cool, keep it cool." When I was at the door, I saw him. Everything went in slow motion. How he was swinging the ping pong racket and how he was missing every opportunity he had to make a smash. I gazed at him with rapture and got lost in the real world.
"Hey, Caty. Yo girl wake up!" I shook my head and woke up. Victoria was patting on my cheeks.
"You should stop looking at him." She goes to the small footbolito table. I walk next to her and I laugh.
"We'll see." the whole party was lavish. I had a great time there, and when I got home, I felt so happy.

Lunch With Difficulty

It was a sunny day and my mother, my brother, my maid and I decided to go eat for lunch. Obviously, I wanted to go to eat my favorite food of all time, sushi, but my mom beseeches to go to this Italian restaurant next to Parque Omar. I wanted to eat sushi, but I decided to let it go and make my mom happy.
"Fine, but I hope its good Italian food." we all agreed and hopped inside the car. I still wanted to eat sushi, but knowing my mom was gratified, I was OK with that.
When we arrived to Parque Omar, my mom walks to this fancy door and on the top it said La Terrasa . I pictured the place like any other restaurant. Very decorative with pretty wall and floor tiles and the floor partially dirty. It was a different story when my mom opened the door.
"Oh. My. God." I stared at the restaurant hypnotized: The floors were sparkly clean, the tiles clashed a lot with the whole restaurant, the place looked Italian and the place smelled like my grandmothers delicious food, 100% Italian.
"See, I told you this place is very nice. Wait 'till you try the food." So we sat down in a table for four, next to the kitchen that had glass windows that showed how the people cooked. I grabbed and opened the menu. I pondered the menu for a very long time. There were so many good things that I couldn't decide.
When the waitress came over to ask us if we wanted to drink, this family of five started to complain.
"Sir, please sit down, we will serve you in a minute." The poor cook said worried.
"No! We have already waited about 45 minutes and we don't have our food!" The cook begged them to stay and so the man gave her another chance. In the end they got their lunch free and My family and I waited more than they did, but when the waitress served us our food, I realized it was worth the wait.

Credit Card Complication

In this confession, I will say that I tried to use my mom's credit card to become a member of Club Penguin.
It was a normal night, dark and rainy, I was in my computer playing Club Penguin. I wasn't a member of the game so I was really bored.
"Man, I can't get any cool clothes anymore. This sucks!" With the lights off I just payed attention to the big screen in front of me. I was technically alone in my house:My brother, my maid and I were the only people alive. when I was thinking about being a member, I came up with a devious plan.
"She won't notice right?" I opened the door slowly with my cellphone lightening the way and tiptoed my way to my mother's room. As I got in, I walked to the only place my mom would leave her credit card, in the big shelf. With the cellphone I was lightening the second shelf to the right. I opened the shelf slowly and steady. 'Creak!' I stopped pulling, thinking it was going to wake up my brother.
When I opened the shelf, the credit card was right there in front of me with its golden color. I took it, closed the shelf and ran to my room. VICTORY!!!!
"The number you just put does not exit, please try again?!" Again and again I tried, but it was useless.
"Man, what a waist of time." I turned off my computer and went to sleep.
