Book Cover & Preview Text
My bed was so comfortable. I did not want to get up. It was Sunday; I thought people weren’t supposed to do anything today but rest. “That’s what I’m going to do,” I thought to myself, as I pulled my pillow over my head to seal out the light that had invaded my room. My mother must have read my mind at that exact moment, because she came storming into my room demanding I get out of the bed and get ready for church. She is a little woman. She even keeps her haircut short, fashionably displayed with big earrings. My mother’s family is all spread out. I don’t know many of my family members from her side of the family. They all live in different states and calling on the phone from time to time does not seem to be their strong point. My mother is longing for another child but my father thinks they should wait one more year. My mother has a very large family but no family ties. She insists she will form a family bond within her own family she creates.
I pulled the covers over my pillow-coated head, all the while wondering if punishment would be half as bad as going to church. Suddenly I sprang from the bed like a jack in the box when I heard the cry of the steps from my father slowly dragging up the stairs towards my room. I quickly yelled out “I’m up Dad!” attempting to ward off the beast master. He held the regional heavy weight championship for 5 years straight. My father is a very determined man. He insists to have the respect and obedience of his household at all times. I stood in front of the mirror as I did every day, staring at my chest in search of a sign of manhood. I had not grown any chest hairs or facial hairs yet. That is when it hit me, “THE THING.” We had some business to take care of today and I needed to get moving. I sprinted for the shower, washing as if I had a two-minute time limit.
Quickly I was dressed and dashed for the phone. “Hello! A whinny voice answered on the other end. “Sup? Kenny ‘round?” I asked. “Maybe”, the squeaky box said back to me. “Put him on the phone Kendra.” I responded with my irritated voice. “Okay…KENNETH!!!” she yelled, “Peanut wants you on the phone.” Kenneth was my best friend. He stood about 5foot 8inches tall and was thin. He wore his hair in an afro that he has refused to cut for over 6 months now. He has thin squinty eyes and dimples like a baby.
