Explaining why I came home without a cow and without any money to my dad was a difficult task to accomplish. He wasn't completely against the idea since we got something, which is miles better than nothing. But what he doesn't know is that I could have brought the cow home to have all to ourselves. Yes, I had lied. I've already come to terms with the fact that I may well be the only person in this entire district that realizes that their family members aren't the only ones around that deserve to live. Everyone deserves to live. There are already enough ways for us to die before our time, I only wish that people would get the concept that helping each other could extend lives by years. I couldn't make that argument with my father, not anytime soon anyway.
I woke this morning, almost forgetting the task at hand. I had a few hours before I was to meet the boy from yesterday. In the back of my mind, I wonder if he'll show up. I do my best to push that thought out of my mind. I'm supposed to be giving him the benefit of the doubt here. But I can't help but think, what if he doesn't show up? I don't know where this boy lives. Where he frequents. Or even his name. If he doesn't show up, I practically just gave away a cow for free, after spending every last dime to my family's name. I keep fighting to push that negativity out of my head. He'll come back, I know he will.
When the time comes, I head into town. The area where the auction was is quiet and barren now. Traces of trash on the ground, all the dying grass and plants that were one there are all smashed now from being trampled upon. I find the tree where the boy and I agreed to meet. I run my hand across the places he had hit repeatedly with his fists. I see his pain all over again. I'm convinced I made the right decision, now more than ever. I plop down and rest my head against the tree. I close my eyes and feel the sweat beads form on my nose. There's nothing left to do now but wait. If only it weren't so damn hot.
