It was a simple day in the neighborhood. Well as in the dump anyways. Eddy, Ed and I were resting a pile of junk. Eddy was focus on what scheme we should do to get more money. I was obviously not paying attention.
"Okay I got it we can sell any of our old clothes and make them seem like they are from the new designer." said Eddy
"And the new designer would be?" I questioned
"Oh yeah we have got to think of the name of the designer."
I began to get up and walk away.
"Hey where you going?" yelled Eddy
"Anywhere but here."
"Well fine forget you. Me and Ed can do this on our own. Right, Ed?"
"I see a duck Eddy."
I rolled my eyes.
I could believe they were going over what we should do to get money. All Eddy do is buy jawbreakers that could barely fit his own mouth.
Thinking about the foolishness of Eddy I failed to notice that I walked right near the Kankers trailer.
I could not let those girls see me. They would, most defiantly, chase me down and try to kiss me. I had to stay quiet. I slowly crept away from the trailers. Luckily I got away.
"Phew" I said
I than heard the trailer door open and slam.
"Fine. I can do better on my own." I saw Marie, the girl who had a crush on me, say
She walked away from the trailers to the opposite side I was on. I could tell she was disturbed by something. I don't know why, but something is calling to me to see what's wrong. I think I'm going completely insane. I went after her.I saw her crying on a pile of junk.
"Marie." I called out
"What do you want?"
"Someone's in a bad mood to see her crush. What's wrong Marie?"
I sat next to her.
"The girls say that I was nothing but a failure."
"Why would they say that?"
"I don't know they can be very mean at times. I just can't deal with them right now."
I never saw this side to Marie. She wasn't trying to chase me down or anything like that.
When her sisters are not around she's actually pretty easy to talk to.
"If you need anything, you know where to find me. You know where I live."
"Thanks double d. I just really can't think about the girls."
"How about you go home and get some rest?"
"I can't. I told the girls I can do better on my own .Now I got nowhere to live."
"I can't believe that I am saying this, Marie come live with me"
"What?"
"Come live with me until you can bounce back on your feet."
"You really mean it?"
"Yes. As long as you keep your distance. You will be in a separate room and in a separate bed. Or atleast on the couch."
She jumped up and hugged me.
"Thank you."
"No problem."
The boys are going to hate me for this. If I kept a Kanker sister around my house people will think that I am dumb and Ed is smart. I just got to keep it on the low.
