There she was!Layin' in MY bunk as if she were the Queen of New York!A surprised look spread across my face.
"What are you doing in me bunk?!" The words tumbled from my mouth.
"I WAS taking a nap in MY bunk." She answered.She seemed to recognize me without having to see me."Wait.Wait,just a minute,dollface,"
"Don't call me that!" She snapped,still not looking at me.
"Alright.Then look here.If that's your bunk,where'm I s'posed to sleep?Eh?"
Without looking up she pointed to the bottom bunk in the corner.It was ragged and teared up pretty badly.Even worse then the others.
I looked at her. "Are you outta your mind?That's the worst bunk in dis joint!You can't just stroll in and steal me bunk!"
"I didn't steal it." She said,sitting up and staring at me. "It was given to me."
Fighting the urge to soak someone is harder than it looks.I stared at her for a moment longer,groaned then stomped off to my new bunk.
I grumbled,patting my pockets.I just wanted to sit back with a cigar.A couple minutes later the rest of
the boys filed in the room.Most them look surprised at the sight of Natalie, but sly smiles grew on their faces.
Mush and Jack looked absoloutley delighted.I puffed at my cigar,looking over at them as if they didn't know what they were getting themselves into.
I frowned and chewed on my cigar irritably,Natalie back to napping.The boys frowned as well,deciding not to bug her for some reason and lost interest.
"I see da goil'z in your bunk." Mush said,coming over and sitting on the edge of my bunk with a grin.
"She stoles it.." I muttered and crammed my hands in my pockets.
Mush frowned,noting I was in a bad mood. "You in da poker game tonight?"
"Nah.." I said,puffing at my cigar then wiping the ash on the edge of the bunk.
Mush left me alone after that and an hour or so later,after the poker game,I was soon asleep.

The next morning I felt like I had slept on a rock.I cracked my back as I sat up and practicaly crawled outta bed.
I was nearly knocked off my feet by the friendly morning nudge from Kid Blink.Kid Blink smiled and looked at Jack.
"Eh,she's already gone.." Jack said unenthusiasticaly.I rolled my eyes at the mention of the girl.
Not only had me and her started off on the wrong foot,but we were hobbling like someone trying not to fall in the swimming pool.
I didn't bother to join the guys at the sink that morning and just walked out tiredly,running a hand thru my hair.
The moment I took a step outside of the boarding house I nearly stumbled right back in.And boy,I didn't like the way she was glaring at me..
