Kenny started his work. First things first, he met Kenny’s father in front of his gate, waiting for
him. He arrived at around 07:53, and Jorge was already there.
He’s very punctual. Is what Kenny thought, narrowing his eyes, slightly amazed by the gesture.
They shook hands, a small greet; Jorge asked Kenny how he was, how he was, and if he was
ready to help.
“Sir, yes, sir!”
Replied Kenny, joyfully, trying to hide the fact that he was only half woke, since he was not used
to waking up this early before, but it didn’t bother him.
Jorge asked Kenny to follow him inside the gate, and Kenny did as told and followed the host all
the way to his garage, which was on the right side from the gate, on a more narrow side, which
was only around six meters away from the exterior gate.. The gate had a white self moving wall,
that was moving only if you inserted a key inside a device, right outside it.
The first thing that Kenny noticed in the garage, matching with the coldness coming from the
concrete floor, and the metal walls, was something relatively big, covered in a gray sheet
entirely.
Jorge quickly took the sheet from his side, taking it entirely off, exposing a bright orange car,
and not any car, a really expensive one, which looked like a car that you would go to those kinds
of show-offs.
“Dang, Mr Jorge! Where’d you do this?”
Asked Kenny in awe, like a jolt of lightning would struck his body, looking inside the windows,
getting more and more amazed after seeing the interior of the car too, the leather cover on the
seats, colored in a pale-orange color.
“I got this from Stephan’s father as a gift, it’s worth… if I remember correctly, something like the
ownership of a any popular brand from nowadays”
Kenny’s mouth fell down, and his eyes widened in amazement
*Mr.Jorge is a multi-millionaire!*
Thought Kenny to himself
He chuckled after seeing the funny, shocked face that Kenny made
“Anyway, we’re not here for this”
Kenny stopped looking at the car, trying to hide his continuing awe for the beauty of the car, and
targeted Jorge with his eyes, who was searching through some boxes and behind them, but
finding only small car parts and metal tools.
“Done, I’ve found them!”
Groaned Jorge, joyfully, with half of his body being inside the castle of different shaped and size
boxes.
Coming out from inside them, Jorge had in his hand two skateboards, one large as a gaming
keyboard, and the other one was large, just like an entire arm.
He passed the smaller one to Kenny.
On a closer look, both of them had dust and cobwebs on them, so he blew once on it and it all
disappeared just like magic.
“What are these mr.Jorge?”
“These. (shows skateboard hanging it near his body) will be our automobile”
Smirked Jorge, heading outside the garage, towards the key stuck in the device.
His eyes narrowed, not fully understanding the sentence (he wasn’t dumb, but just confused).
“But I don’t know how to ride this…”
“Skateboard. Don’t worry, I teached everyone me and Kina now”
Replied Jorge, having his hand on the key, slowly turning it, letting the garage’s wall to move
downwards, creating a small whurring sound and metallic cling.
“You coming?”
Asked Jorge, lowering his right eyebrow, then giving out a small smirk.
“Oh, yeah, sorry, sorry”
Now both outside the gate, a sequence of images, or a small montage (however you want to
call it), with Kenny trying to learn how to stay on his skateboard and eventually using it,
followed:
He fell countless times, but luckily Jorge was staying behind him in case this would have
happened. Eventually Kenny succeeded to stay still on the skateboard, and even ride it. After
that he learned the position in which he was supposed to stay when riding a skateboard; how to
stop when he was at high speed, and how to take turns smoothly.
This entire montage of images took around one hour and forty minutes, something like that, but
after that, he could ride the skateboard just like Jorge, his teacher did.
“Look at you, all professional on the skateboard, even better than me”
Joked Jorge, pointing at Kenny’s skateboard, while he was swerving with his, going left and
right, in front of him, and eventually stopping right to Kenny.
They eventually arrive at the plantation, which wasn’t that far, only around twelve to forteen
minutes away.
On arrival, unboarding off their skateboards, the first thing that they did was to follow inside the
main gate. Inside the main gate, Kenny forgot that he still had the skateboard in his hand and
quickly handed it back to Jorge, but he politely said to keep it, because now it’s his. After saying
that, Jorge reached for a fistbump, while looking in another direction. This gesture was well
accepted by Kenny with a slight smirk on his expression.
That was a very nice gift from Kina’s father that Kenny will surely protect and keep it well and
safe.
Inside the metal gate, which was more of a fence, surrounding the entire plantation of around
one point five hectares, there was a small cabin too, where the guardian was sleeping through
the night and resting himself.
“Wow, this place is so long I can’t even see where it ends, mr.Jorge!”
Exclaimed Kenny joyfully, reaching his hand all the way to his forehead, to block the light
coming from the sun.
Jorge gave out a few quick chuckles then told him the “battle plan”
“Now the battle plan, Kenny. You can come here any day you want, for around twenty minutes,
will that be okay with you?”
“I could do more than twenty minutes, mr.Jorge, I-I’m glad to be here”
Replied Kenny with an active voice
Continuing, Stephan went inside the small wooden cabin that had two large windows, a door
and a small lamp which was stuck over the door and came out with a brown cap on which it was
written “You got this!” and placed it on top of Kenny’s head
“You’ll need that. We don’t get a headache from this hot sun, right?”
Said Jorge, smiling.
Kenny thanked Jorge and started following him, inside the plantation, where it looked like an
infinite number of trees were sprinkled with bright oranges on their bright green leaves.
There was a large cart made out of wood, with four wheels that were also made out of wood,
which Jorge used for demonstration through the plantation.
He hopped on top of the trees and came down with his shirt filled with oranges, which he gently
placed in the large cart.
“After collecting all the oranges from the trees, you place them into the cart, push the cart, and
then after reaching the end, just come back and start at another row. Or, whenever you get
bored, just come back with the cart, back at the entrance, with however many oranges you
would have”
In the last words, Jorge gave out a slight smirk and a firm slap on Kenny’s meaty shoulder.
They also visited the inside of a small building which looked like a half-circle, colored in many
bright colors, and many drawings, with two windows that could be opened from inside, and one
large door Inside, the ground was made out of concrete too, and it looked larger than from the outside.
There were also large wooden crates with their firm’s emblem on them more empty than filled.
And also some mechanical devices which were used to make orange juice.
“Concrete helps to keep the oranges fresh in the summer”
Smiled Jorge, showing the entirety of the place.
“What about the drawings?”
Asked Kenny, curious, pointing towards the door with an unbothered gesture of his thumb
In that moment, Jorge’s reaction could be seen to sunk in, as if melancholy would hit him and
destroy his entire vibe.
“Those were Kina’s, from many years ago. She used to sit here with me from morning all the
way to sunset. She really liked to draw on things (chuckles and looks at the ground, zoning out)”
He also gave out a quick sight and remained on his thoughts for a few seconds, before
continuing what he wanted to say.
“We’ll… this was all, you can start now or just rest for a little bit, however you want!”
Continued Jorge, with a large smirk on his face, putting his left hand on Kenny’s shoulder as a
friendly gesture.
Kenny looked at Jorge as he was leaving the plantation and went directly to work
*This is the least I can do, mr.Jorge, after what I did at the highway*
Now came another montage of Kenny doing his help like a hardworking man. Doing what he
was told. Climbing in the trees without a ladder because it was easier for him; collecting all the
oranges from the trees that looked like billions, but it didn’t bother Kenny because he knew he
was doing a good and honorable thing.
After two hours, Kenny sat down for a quick break underneath a tree, holding a perfect shadow
over him; a cold-ish shadow. Resting, he opened one of the bottles of water left there by Jorge
and opened a snack bar, left by Jorge for him, and sat down with his back stuck to the tree’s
start.
After drinking five gulps of water and eating half of a snack bar, Kenny lowered his look, sticking
the back of his head to the tree also. Narrowing his eyes, he sees a figure moving in the tree. It
was one of the largest trees from the plantation, so it was harder for him to see what that was.
In the exact moment that he found an angle through the branches and oranges, he was only
startled only by the high speed fall of a girl that fell right on him, squishing him on the ground
“Aaagh…”
Groaned Kenny slowly, dizzy from the pin to the ground
Standing right on top of him, it was Kina, dizzy just like Kenny. Seconds later, when both of them
regained their consciousness, they stared into each other’s eyes, unintentionally charming each
other only from a look.
Kenny’s head rushed with thoughts about Kina. He could barely breathe from her beauty, and
also from fearing what she would say after what happened on the highway.
She smelled entirely of oranges. A skinny body, but not too skinny, only perfect for him.
Pale-blue eyes, short and entirely white hair. Short clothing, a little too undressed for his
opinion.
White sneakers, a fishing hat, a colored shirt with stripe blueprint, and pants that wouldn’t get
just over her ankles, gray jeans with different stickers in wool material attached to them.
She was a little bit smaller than him in height and her eyes thin, yet filled with energy.
A few more seconds later, he realized a small black bandana stuck to her neck just like duct
tape, which also looked like it was covering some type of long scar.
Around her body, there were situated more bandages, colored in pink; just like on her ankles,
wrists, and shoulders.
“Be my boyfriend, right now!”
Whispering Kina with a joyful tone in her voice, as she was breathing heavily, almost touching
noses with Kenny, staying in the same position as they fell.
