"What are you?"

                        " What are you?" inspired story from someone I once knew..
    My brother had just joined the United States navy, and he was done with A school and I decided to ride the grey hound bus home with him back from the east Coast to the West Coast- back to San Diego..Why? you ask.. Why Not? I had the time and the money and i wanted to hear about his adventure's in Boot camp. So , off I went, by plane ride , and I met and greeted my brother, lets call him Sonny, not his real name, but thats ok.. Sonny and I have breakfast and gather his bags and stuff and get on the bus headed to SOCAL. It was kind of cool until we hit the southern states, what states it doesn't matter. We are on a bus full of white people, and they were all looking at me" All eyes on me.." was appropriate. Well these white people were staring at me throughout the whole trip. Finally , at one of the rest stops . This corn fed big ass white boy came up to me , and I was thinking, ok I'm gonna stick my pen into his knee and my brother was going to take him down while punching the living daylights out of him. Well that's whats going on in my mind as he approached.. He looked at me straight into my eyes and said " Boy , what the heck are you?" I looked at him defiantly and said " I',m Filipino- American raised in California. He was startled , I'm guessing how confident and bold I was and also My English was much better than his country ass accent. He paused for a moment then asked " Filipino, What the hell is that?" I said " that's an Island in the Pacific Ocean , where my family and relatives were born and raised. He still had this dumb ass puzzled look on his face, but he shrugged and boarded the bus and went to his seat. To be honest , I didn't want to go back on that bus , but we were in the middle of America , and no clue where to go,, So , reluctantly we boarded the bus , but the looks and whispers continued. My brother and I didn't sleep well , because I had this thought that they were going to lynch my ass or what?,,.. Would I do another cross country trip on a bus,, probably not, but just another freaking story the source seems to get himself into.. Well take care until the next episode ...Copyright@2010 THE SOURCE PRODUCTIONS.
