Single Chapter: I have fun when I'm rich!
-No, I don't, I already told you that I have to finish studying and I'll need it later - I said firmly.
-You're not using it now, what's the cost of lending it to me to listen to some music? - she retorts upset with a voice almost crying.
My dear sister, how can you be so unreasonable? As much as my love for you is greater than anything in this world, I can't forgive the dumbest things you say.
-You're 9 years old, why do you need to listen to music at that age? At your age I didn't have that stewardship, I already told you that I saved for...
-For 5 years every penny you earned was like, wow, cool. You didn't have the opportunity to have a cell phone, but I do! Why don't you let me listen for 5 minutes? It's just a song - it completes what I was going to say.
-If I hand you my cell phone, in addition to using up the battery, you'll get used to it, and you won't understand the effort of hard work and the value of things you don't have - I firmly concluded, if one day I manage to become rich with my studies , I certainly wouldn't worry about giving my sister everything she wants, but now that we don't have much, I want her to understand the value of things, so she doesn't go over her head when she has money.
-Do you want me to wake up at 5 am to look for cans on the street like you used to? - she speaks with an indignant tone, with her voice getting louder, as she speaks it is evident the tremor in her voice already pulling to a cry.
-Stop screaming Monica, the orphanage staff will fight you - I interrupted before she started kicking.
-I don't care, since I have a brother as boring and annoying as you, I hate you Eduardo!
And she screamed with tears in her eyes, she ran out of our room, I don't understand the need to waste energy on this, our room is shared and there aren't many places for her to stay where there aren't a lot of people.
Totally clueless, but it doesn't matter at the moment, looking at my phone I noticed that I wasted about 3 minutes teaching my sister the correct way to think. I know she will understand when she grows up and maybe even put in her bibliography how phenomenal I was as her brother. Of course, when we get rich she'll be famous easily, and I'm sure she'll write a lot of books about our hard lives.
6:37 pm
It's time for me to get ready to leave, college is far away and I don't have time to lose for my success.
I take my backpack and put my cell phone in my pocket, already anticipating that something could get in my way, I prepared everything as quickly as possible and left the room.
Walking down the hall in a hurry I notice two small children, Diogo and Mikael playing with their hands as if they have weapons.
-Pow pow pow, stop you cop, I'm armed and I'm going to shoot you! - said Diogo with his hand with a "gun" pointed at the ceiling.
-Oh yes? Pow pow, I'm the policeman, and you 'min' obey, stop there you evil thief! - Mikael answers shouting, Mikael has his back to Diogo, how does he think he's going to arrest him like that?
-Oh no, an armed policeman, so take that pow pow pow.
-But I hear your shots and dodge them, now you're out of bullets, evil thief!
????????????
What?
More than the dumbest kid, what does he study at school? How does he not know that the speed of the bullet is greater than the speed of sound? If you get shot, you don't hear the bullet, much less can you dodge it.
I really have to study so my sister doesn't become people like that, God forbid.
I walked away from these children and went straight to the exit, poor of them, with these games and lack of study they will never understand the benefits I gain, I see that I was the only one in this entire orphanage managed to get into college at 16, the only one who can leave without anyone's supervision because I'm extremely reliable, I understand that nobody compares to me.
I can already see my future when I become a renowned doctor in the city, the title of the magazines will be "from the streets picking up cans to the highest paid surgeon in the country", I will be a celebrity and a huge reference for overcoming difficulties for the whole world, my bibliography will have countless translations for different countries.
-Look if it's not 'Duardo', the prodigy boy - a lady with a very sweet voice jokes with me, I don't even need to look to know who he is.
-Look if Claudete isn't the most charismatic cook in town - I turned my face and waved, I kept walking towards the exit, I can't be late.
-Are you going to college yet?
- Yes, I'll try to arrive before midnight today - I distanced myself further, she is talkative, if I stay close I'll waste my time.
Walking towards the exit she said something else but I couldn't hear her.
11:17 pm
How great it is to be able to catch the bus on time, I hate it when any of the three buses are late going to or from college, the subway is never late, why don't they create more subways? The buses just get in the way, they are very slow.
Regardless, it is now 11:17 pm, I will arrive at the orphanage around 11:50 pm, I managed to catch the first bus 5 minutes early, the driver is fast and I took the second bus running to him and went 9 minutes ahead, the subway is always fast , and if there's no traffic now I'll get home very early.
That's great, I'd love to restudy what the professor said, he doesn't know how to teach at all, every time he says something I get confused, and if I ask him he gets stressed, how can someone as disabled as she teaches at the most renowned college in the world country? Our policy is extremely flawed, people in power hire anyone.
11:58 pm
More than drug traffic delayed my plans by 10 minutes... AAAAAAAA! How I hate this street, why an avenue of this size if there are no buses passing by, having to walk the rest of the way is too much!
You know what, I don't care, I'm going to try to cut corners, Google must know a faster way for me, and... look, I knew it! I save 3 minutes if I go through these alleys and alleys, it doesn't make up for the 10 minutes I lost, but it helps with something at least.
Turn left, go straight for 100m, right, turn right, okay. It's close.
-Go muleke, pass the cell phone!
A thick and desperate voice emerges from the shadows, a boy of 11 years old at most points a gun at me with trembling hands, but what a lack of respect, in the future I will have to save people who have been shot and much more, I don't have time to waste with you boy.
-Get out of the way boy, I don't have time to waste with a child's games...
*POW*
The sound...
The sound of a bullet, and... I heard... Can't it be? Not a toy? I looked down and felt my chest a little sore.
R... Red... My blood is very red, why???
-My God, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shoot! I just wanted your cell phone...
-No boy, you weren't supposed to shoot! - I heard someone else's voice in the background, but very far away, I can hear a whistle inside my ear... More than a funny joke.
-I told you not to deliver it loaded to him... - another voice in the background shouted running, I saw some older boys, they look pretty scared, but there's nothing to worry about, they didn't want to shoot me, They'll definitely take me to the hospital and I'll be fine, that won't spoil my success, it'll be great to put that part in the bibliography...
How it hurts...
The boy who shot me was holding the trigger with a trembling hand, he must have accidentally fired it, he's still holding the trigger, more than a dumb child, do I have to tell him to let go of the trigger? It's just what I needed...
Let me teach this dumb kid.
-B... Boy-
