families would i have and then i thought i've already had several families poor delmon didn't have one when will his time come maybe we don't need families just maybe. We got settled into our rooms delmon's room was two doors down from mine it was alot nicer orphanage then i had seen i got my things and started
unpacking them there was alot of mexican kids here me and delmon was the only french race here in all of california after we settled in me and delmon went into the kitchen to get food and bring it up to our rooms all kinds of snacks soda pop juice as much as delmon ate i had eaten more then he did which everyone found
it very odd we kept to ourselves delmon thought he was better then the other kids better then anyone for that matter delmon has a stuck up attitude where i have more of a soft spot it wasn't long before i began to think and act like delmon the next morning i had awake in the late afternoon everyone wondering why i had
got up so late delmon knew my reasons staying up so late because i could not sleep and my mind was racing those memories had attack me once again i got up washed and dressed for something to eat i couldn't find delmon anywhere i assumed he was already out and didn't wait for me i ate my dinner and went to the play
room to watch cartoons all the other kids were staring at me as if i was some kind of freak maybe i was maybe that's why no one had wanted me delmon has sneaked up behind me and scared abit "BOO!" he screamed i nearly jumped out of my seat "don't do that to me please" i said "i got you something" he said he
pulled out of his bag a car manual my eyes grew wide as i rushed to hug and thank him "i thought you would like it because i know how much you like cars it'll keep your mind off things who know's maybe one day you might become a mechanic raphael" he said as we both laughed thinking that'll happen after i become rich
and famous that night i had read my book for two weeks straight barely any sleep or food delmon had brought food to me now and then i loved cars so much that i did have plans to become a mechanic one day one day.. After the third week delmon had took the car manual from me that afternoon and yelled at me "is
that all you do? you haven't got out for weeks raphael i'm keeping this book for a little bit" he said i looked at myself and realized i haven't showered or anything i thought maybe i should freshen up abit me and delmon did our normal routine everyday for four weeks one day i have been requested to meet a family that was
interested in me i told delmon i'll be back in afew moments he looked away and down did not respond i walked in there was a black man and woman they looked as if they didn't have a penny to their names i didn't feel comfortable with the idea of being with black people however i went along with it
