VICTOR WANTS INTERNET
                                                       
           PART ONE: THE IDEA
I walk slowly to the couch were my cousin Jose is drinking orange juice in the most annoying way possible. I sit in the couch that produces a fart sound and instantly makes Jose laugh and drop to the floor. I sit ignoring Jose and remember about how my mom didn’t let me get internet after I begged like a dog for hours.
“Please mom can we have internet,” I constantly said. But she always responded with the same answer “no mijor”. I even offered to do the dishes, trimming the bushes, sweeping the house, mopping the house, helping my sister with her homework, cleaning windows and doing the laundry. But she always responded the same “no mijo”.
I heard Jose say something but I wasn’t paying attention I was to busy thinking to hear.
“ Hey fool….hello… wake up Vic,” Jose shouted.
“What Jose,” I responded to his shouting
“You got internet.”
“No,” I grunted at him, “my mom didn’t let me.”
Jose stood up and sat down back at the couch while saying, “you should ask your dad.”
“My dad wont do anything without my mom, he always agrees with her and thinks that what ever she says is right.” I stand up put my hands in my pockets and look up at the ceiling. “The only person I need to convince is my mom, Jose”
“Well you need to find a way to convince her,” he takes a noise slurp sip of his orange juice. “ Well did you try begging.”
“Yes”
“Doing chores?”
“Yes.”
“Well the only option I can think of  is getting good grades.”
We both look at each other for a few seconds before we burst laughing. “oh yeah me getting good grades that’s jalurious. ”I look at the ceiling again,” maybe what I need to do is to get internet by myself.” Jose looks at me with a smirk that says trouble. We both think in our heads and I say, “what my mom does not know wont hurt her.”
    PART TWO: THE DATE
A week later…
       Now this is going to be hard because first I have no idea how to get internet. I’m totally clueless on how internet works. But I want internet so bad that to get it I’ll need to use every once of brain that I have.
       I’m laying in my bed. Left of my bed there is my computer, a windows 98 computer. To the right of my bed there is my line phone that doesn’t work.
I share my room with both of my sisters so I don’t get a lot of privacy. I know it sucks. My half of the room is on the right of the door and my sisters half is on the right of the door and the walls of our room are painted white, plain white. My sisters are down stairs right now watching T.V. The bad part of sharing rooms is of course the privacy. My computer is the only computer in the house and it is located in my room which is my sisters room too. So when I get internet I need to be alone in my room otherwise my sisters will know and will snitch. Man this is harder than I thought.
       Lets see…what can I do… ?
I look at the calendar that is hanging from my wall.  I look at the month.
May. I look at the days of the month starting from today’s date. Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, four…FOURTEEN. The fourteen, its my sisters birthday on the fourteen. Of course my mom was talking about it all week. My mom is making her a party. Perfect.
        I can use this. Everybody will be downstairs for the party even my sisters. My parents will be busy attending guests. I would be alone. I can do what ever I want that day. Perfect.
I start jumping on my bed . screaming, laughing and being as joyful as I can be. I wave my arms like a manic trying to scare people. I’m so happy right now. Surprisingly my sister filings open the door and yells. “VICTOR MY MOM SAYS TO STOP JUMPING ON THE BED.”
       “WHATEVER MARIA ,” I yell back at my sister while still jumping on the bed.
       “You hella stupid Vic,” she says to me in an angry voice. I pick up my pillow and throw it at her. She shuts the door to avoid the pillow and leaves.
       I fall back into my bed, cross my legs and I start playing my game boy. Only five more days.
       PART THREE: THE PLAN
Four days later…
There’s only one day left for my sister’s birthday and I’m so exited because there will be cake. I love cake. Its so good. There would be also games like ping the tail on the donkey. I think my mom said also that she would host a little karaoke for my cousins that might be fun. Oh did I also mention that there will be internet at her birthday too.
These past few days I learned how to put internet in a computer. It was a lot simpler than I thought. All you really need is the phone cable and plug it into the computer. I can do that. I have a broken phone in my room so I can use it’s cable.
Then, after I plug in the cable, I just will need to create an internet account. I have that step covered too. I’ll just sign up to AOL’s six month free trail. Then when I create the account I will have internet. Simple. I got this information from Jose because he has internet too. He helps me sometimes with the sneaky stuff we do. Like when we both made a giant sling shot and shot unsepected cars with water balloons. Luckily Jose and I are god runners so we escaped the cops when they came. He comes real helpful. I’m glad he’s my cousin.
But.
Sometimes I feel bad because I’m doing something that my parents don’t want me to do. I mean my parents might have good reason why they wont let me have internet but really want internet. Also I feel that if I do this I can prove something but I don’t know what. Maybe in the future when I think back I know why I really wanted internet.
Whatever. I want it and I will get it and I’m almost there. I could even imagine how my plan will be like. I will wake up that morning, I’ll act natural so there will be no suspicions. I’ll wait until all my uncles, aunts, and cousins come before putting my plan into action. When everyone is talking and playing I’ll tell Jose to be lookout.(I hope doesn’t complain like always. He is so annoying sometimes but that’s family). Then I will connect the phone line into my computer. Then I will set up the AOL free trail account and presto I will have internet. At least that’s how I hope it will go.
