Stone Asylum Chapter 1

Chapter 1: So it all started like this…

"Mom! Oscar won't let me play videogames!"
"Shut up, Angel. I told you to wait your turn!"
"Hey the both of you get down here! NOW!!"
"Ugh, now look what you did."
"Mom, tell Oscar to let me play! He's been hogging it all day!"
"No, neither of you are going to play those games for the rest of the day. You're grounded."
"What? Now look what you did, Angel!"
"No fair!! Oscar played all day and now you're grounding me for nothing? You're mean, that's not fair!! WAAA!"
"Oscar, you're grounded for not sharing the videogames and for making your brother whine and Angel you're grounded for whining like a baby. Besides, you must've finished your homework already. You didn't want to play videogames without your homework done, right?"
"Oh whoops."
"You're grounded today and tomorrow, Angel."
"WAAA, no fair!!"

I love my family, especially when they get grounded. Finally, I can play in peace. Thank you, mom.

"That's life, young grasshopper."
"Carlos, do you want some, too?"
"No, no, I'm just reminding Angel of his sorry and lamentable situation. Tough beans, bro."
"Shut up!"

Ha ha Angel, you're sometimes my favorite brother. Sometimes.

"Hey Oscar, did Arthur bring my game back?"
"No Carlos, he called and said he lent it to another friend."

What the…? That idiot. Lending things like it was his. Doesn't matter, I have the other console to play with. Unless…

"Well did Saul return the other console, at least?"
"No way man, you know that guy doesn't respond your messages unless you're a chick or if you invite to play games."

I'm going to murder those guys. I lend them stuff just so they can bring it back when they want to. I think NOT! Ooooh, I'm getting goose bumps, better get my meds. Such a druggy.

"Hey Carlos, I want you out of here, now. I don't want you losing your job because you are getting late. Oh and give me 50 pesos. It's for your dad's lunch."
"Well is he gonna eat out or what? Do I look like an ATM?"
"Hey watch that tone, I need bread, sausages, ham, tomatoes, avocadoes, and mayo."
"He might as well eat out."
"Ok, you said so."
"Wait no, I didn't mean that. But doesn't he have money?"
"He says you owe him 100 and that with the lunch money he'll drop it down to only 75, so you'd only owe him 25. How about that?"

Ugh, I totally forgot about the money I owe him. But I guess that'll do. Hold up a tick…
"Hey, the approximate total of all that is 35 pesos, 40 tops! Why so much, huh?"
"I want to buy some hair products for today's lessons at the beauty parlor. Do you want to pay full hundred or not?"

Darn it, mom. Get your own money.

"Fine, woman, you leave me no choice. Take it."
"Tone, boy."
"Later peeps."
"Buy me something!"
"Nope!"
That Angel, as if I'm going to buy you something. I need food, I'm going to work until late today. And still mom takes some more of my money, I barely have enough for myself. I guess I could buy a bag of chips and a soda again. Or I could buy a big bag of chips. Naah… then I'll get thirsty. I'll see what I can do. Dang it, now the goose bumps are getting worse and I forgot to take my medicine. Now I definitely need to buy lunch.
