Chapter 2
As the figure comes into the light, he reveals his nicely cut, parted brown hair, with hazel eyes that are dominantly sky blue. Billy seemed to look more like Spot's brother should look like, although you could definitely tell he was not. "Is there somebody here by the name of Crutchie*? He's got a brother that he needs to reminisce with.
"Billy!"
"Hey, it's good ol' Billy!"
"Um. who is Billy?" Les and David asked. Although they were both in the strike, and David even helped lead it, they were still relatively new.
"Oh, we didn't say anything 'bout Billy?" Exclaimed Kid Blink, "He is the bro-"
Billy, so insistent about good first impressions, decided to cut in at this point, and tell the story right. "I am the brother of Crutchie. I am his protector, his guardian, and the guardian of his closest friends, like Jack, Blink, and Race."
At this point Billy pulled David aside. "I can tell you have an education too," whispered Billy "So I'm going to tell you something about me that you might need to know. I love my brother. I'm as happy as he is that he is alive, and if anybody wants to threaten my happy thought, well, lets just say they're going to have a 5'5'' child on their ass! But the only difference between Crutchie and me is that I'm not exactly happy with myself. I have my own problems, and because I have them I hate myself for being so selfish. I just want to be able to focus on my brother's problems, instead of mine. I really hate myself, but I stay alive, and I act happy, for my bro. I don't want him worrying about me, at all!"
"So, addressing everybody again, "is there some initiation I need to pass, or do I just buy some papes, get a lesson, and start selling?" That received a chuckle.
"Well ya might need a partna', sell more papes dat way," Jack said. " I suggest ya go wit' Crutchie, cause ya ain't gonna do me no good."
"You read my mind, Jacky-boy!" Billy jokes, as he goes over to give Jack a noogie and a punch.
"Ya ain't that much olda' den me, ya ain't allowed to do that!" Jack exclaimed, trying to gain his dignity.
