I stare up in wonder at the man with the curly hair, smoking one of those funny smelling cigarettes Emmett hides from daddy. I turn my nose up as he sings out his words to me.
"So...tell me...Alice...where is ya...goinnnnng?"
I giggle at the funny, crazy man as he leans against the wall, playing his guitar noisily.
"I am off to see my daddy, so he can read me my story." I say, smiling.
Mrs Swan at school says we shouldn't talk to strangers, but Alice does when she is in Wonderland,so I think this is ok. I don't really like Mrs Swan, she never smiles much! This Jasper man stops playing as he sucks on his smelly cigarette,blowing smoke rings that make me giggle like they do in the book, talking to me normally, just kinda slow.
"Ain't you a bit young to be out so late at night, Alice?"
I scowl!
Emmett always says I am too young, I hate him! "I am eight years old and three months!" I scold.
"Wow... Eight and THREE months, that's old." I giggle as he rolls his eyes. "But I still think it's kinda young to be out late little Alice."
"Nu uh! Daddy lets me walk to the store all by myself!" I tell him proudly.
He puts his hand on his chin, and his cigarette lights up more. He's thinking, I know. It's the look daddy gives me when I ask for a cookie before dinner.
"Maybe I should walk you home little Alice! The city is a scary place for a young girl like you!"
He moves towards me, placing his guitar on the floor and I start to step back. Is he gonna be mean like my brother?
