Fiction
Yall not going to believe this! Let me just say that I am an Asian-American girl and I emphasize American. I do not eat any Chinese food. So please miss me with that. I love soul food and Mexican dishes. I am completely Americanized with pride. My parents speak in their native tongue (Japanese) but even they are Americanized as well. My grandparents were immigrants. They do not speak a lot of English. We speak to them in our native tongue. I live in a very upscale neighborhood. My two best friends are black and Mexican. We all attend the same high school. All of our parents are either doctors, lawyers or they work for the government. Dillard's father is a veterinarian. His mom is a doctor at some hospital. He claims that he doesn't know what she does as far as her career. He has always said that since we were in elementary school. Dillard lives in our court. My girls Nika and Maria also live by me. Dillard likes me but I am so not attracted to him. I see him as my brotha. It's not because he is white. He is not my type. There are about 20 different families that reside in our court, and we all love animals. Tannika's mom is also a veterinarian. They have two dogs, one bird, a black cat, and a turtle. Dillard has a cat as well. I don't have any cats. I believe Maria doesn't either.
Dillard told us his cat needed a kidney transplant. Sadly, he was telling us for a few weeks about his family cat. We were all empathetic. We understand that our pets are like family. He had the nerve to ask Tannika if she would mind asking her parents if their cat could be a kidney donor for his cat. WTF...right! Nika was like no! Actually, she said Hell no! Dillard said his cat will die soon if he doesn't receive a kidney. To be honest I only thought human beings did the transplant organ donor thing. He told Tannika that his mom told him her cat would probably be a great donor for their cat because she has a black cat. Then he started to laugh obnoxiously. We didn't think it was funny. Maria thought race was a factor, and it was.
Like, Dillard is so weird. Dillard is our #1 homeboy, but he is not from this world, sometimes. We asked Dillard what was so funny. Then get this, all of a sudden, he remembered that his mom worked with a donor organization at the hospital. Dillard said his mom told him when a melanated person dies or people with more melanin, and they are registered donors on their driver's license, it's like brand new wealth for those who are waiting for a kidney or liver transplant. He said it's like the golden Willy Wonka ticket. Most of the people that are waiting for donors at the hospital where Dillard's mom works are not black, Asian or Mexican. They are European. That's what Dillard said. He also said his mom gets great organs from dead melanated people to help out those in need of organs at her hospital. We were like ok so what. Dillard pleaded with us to think twice about putting the words "organ donor" on our driver's license next year when we all take driver's ed. Dillard said there were things that he knows his mom is involved in, but she doesn't tell him. Maria didn't believe him then something happened.
Two days after Dillard shared that information about his mom with us, three of the families in our court that had cats were gone. They all went missing. Get this tho, Dillard came to school very happy. The rumor in our high school was that Dillard and his brother stole those cats trying to find a match for their cat. Yall, Dillard told us his cat was better. This is a very uncomfortable situation. We are all very uncomfortable now.
Do you think Dillard and his brother stole those cats in the neighborhood to save their own cat's organs?
