Gryff: one word: dirtball
CHAPTER 5:
When we got to their house I quickly ran up and rang the doorbell.
"HA I got to push da button," I said while sticking my tongue out at Emma.
A very old wrinkly looking man suddenly opened the door
"Are you the ladies the boys met the other night?"
"Uhhh yeah we are."
"Come in then"
He then brought us through the front door into a very dusty and dingy looking house. We heard pounding on the stairs and a big group of absolutely GORGEOUS guys stood in front of us. Kid Blink stepped out from the back of the group.
"Hey Maddie" he said breathlessly
"Who are all of you?" I said in complete awe.
"Oh just a bunch of angry kids with no money" said a pompous smarty-pants looking guy with tight brown curly hair.
"Yeah thanks that's so informative" I said my voice dripping with sarcasm.
"YO back off ya little bitch" Spot came pounding through the guys "I have been meaning to talk to ya." With that, Spot pulled me away from my friends and upstairs and into the bathroom where he locked the door.
"OK well ya see what happened is I have a real big problem with you girly. Ya see at work the other night you touched my cane. Ya see no one can touch shit of mine and no one is gonna touch shit of mine. I would have fucked you up on the spot but I would like to NOT lose my fucking job. Touch shit of mine ever again and I will soak ya. Got that?"
"I don't think you actually will."
"How?"
"I can tell."
"Well being able to tell isn't enough for me Maddie. You hafta show me I can't take you. Which I can."
And with that friendly note he walked away.
A LITTLE LATER . . .
We were all sitting in the living room of their house when Kloppman (as we had learned his name) walked in. me and Spot stopped glaring at each other for a second to look at him.
"Boys I have some bad news, you guys can't go to Allderdice anymore, you will either have to go to Schenley or Peabody. It's your choice. Tell me which you pick later." And with that he turned and walked out of the room.
"That sucks major balls" I said loudly
"Well it could be pretty entertaining to see about 19 little white boys walk into Peabody together" Baum-Baum said thoughtfully while sitting with her head on this guy named Snoddy's shoulder. It was cute. HE was cute.
"What are you talking about? I bet Spot can take a big group of black boys from the ghetto . . . Spot can take anyone." I said sarcastically from my place with Blink on the love seat.
"OH FUCK!" Beth yelled suddenly
"What?!?" a whole bunch of us asked
"We have got to stop this snogging party (what snogging party she was dreaming of I don't know)"
"WHY?" all the boys asked disappointedly
"Yeah Beth why? I'm comfortable" Ariane said while cuddling with Boots
"Because Ari your mom is picking you up and Jake and me have plans to go upstreet!"
"Well that's you . . ."
"Yeah but if we went back to Maddie's house with only half of the amount that came what would that look like?"
"True that. Ok I guess we gotta bounce" we all slowly got up and walked out the door.
FRIDAY
"Jake I'm just not sure about this though. I mean I really like Kid Blink but I have almost hit PJ with a pin before and that's just when he's being a perv!" It was another Friday night around 7:30 and I had about 20 minutes before I had to leave. My dad had to go straight from work so I was walking. Vince was out with his latest girlfriend whose name I did not know.
"Madeline don't worry so much about it. Just go to work tonight."
"Wait you haven't ever had a serious relationship why am I asking you?"
"I don't know all I did was call to see if you were doing anything tomorrow and you started pouring your heart out. Honestly I don't know why I put up with you girls."
"I do"
"Oh yeah how?"
"Well our sense of humor. How many other girls that you know can manage to get raped by inanimate object" I said with a big smile on my face.
"Grr damn you Madeline."
"ARGH! There is another beep. Don't hang up sweety" I then switched lines.
"MADDIE!"
"ICK!" Ick would be Erik who is one of my favorite guy friends. Maybe cause I love slash guys. "What's up hun?" I could hear loud music in the background.
"I am out with my Cory"
"What else is new? How's Cory?"
"He's doing great. What's up with you?"
"What's the point of this conversation?"
"I don't know. Felt like talking."
"Talk to Cory. I have to go to work soon. Bye love you."
"Bye!" with that he hung up. I then went back to Jakey boy.
"Well hunny my friends are weird."
"WOW that is a new fact"
"Shutup I have to go get ready for bowling."
"OK love you and have fun. Don't worry about Blink."
"OK love you too. Bye!"
I ran upstairs, got ready, and then raced out the door. I ran all the way up to the bowling alley because Blink said he would get there early. When I got there Blink was waiting.
"Hey sexy." I greeted him.
"How ya doing gorgeous. I have a question. How are we supposed to get in it's locked."
"Bingo entrance is a very useful little tool. Let's go," I said starting to walk towards the entrance.
"Wait one sec missy!" he said grabbing my arm. "I want a little TLC first." And with that slick statement he pulled me into the BEST five minute snogging lesson I have ever had in my life. But afterwards I thought of Jakey boys advice. I was so glad he was one of my friends. He is such a sweety pie. I just have to remember not to think about it.
After that scene, we went inside. The setters this week were Blink, Ben, Me and one of Blink's friends that Jack walked up here. His name is Skittery. I'm pretty sure he was the one that was with Anna.
I had Ben teach Skittery because they were setting together as of the fact that Ben is a better setter than I am.
Time passed pretty nicely until Ben was in the fourth frame of his second game and I was on the sixth.
"Ya know we work in terrible conditions." Blink said thoughtfully
"Yeah it happens" I said while jumping down to set
"We should strike. They don't pay us enough money and we get by pins and balls. The bowling alley is run down and old. It is never clean. We have stale cigarette smoke everywhere. Why don't we bring our demands to Stroup and Hurley."
"Blink that is the most crackpot idea in the world!" I said loudly
"Well Maddie you do realize we talked about it especially when TJ was here."
"Yeah but I was just joking. Plus we can't strike we don't have a union."
"But if we go on strike then we are a union right?"
"Uh no not exactly"
"I will think about it"
THE NEXT DAY.
Well it was Saturday and I went over to the boys house to talk to Jack. He seemed to be their leader.
"Hey Jacky boy. I have gotsta talk to you about Blink" I said quickly
"Well he has told me the idea. Let me get the boys and we will show you something ok?" and with that he walked away.
When they came back Jack grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the house.
"Guys what is going on?" I asked in a frightened voice.
"We are going on strike."
"Shouldn't we think about that?"
"Let me show you something"
Mr. Stroup and Hurley they think we nothing are we nuthin?
NO!
Mr. Stroup and Hurley they think they got us do they got us?
NO!
Even though we ain't got hats or badges were a union just by saying so! AND THE WORLD WILL KNOW!
What's it gonna take to the stop the dumb balls? Can we do it?
YEAH!
What's it gonna take to stop the bowlers can we do it?
YEAH!
We'll do what we gotta do until we brake the will of mighty Mark and JIIIMM!
AND THE WORLD WILL KNOW! AND THE JOURNAL TOO! MR. STROUP AND HURLEY HAVE WE GOT NEWS FOR YOU! AND THE WORLD WELL HEAR HEAR WHAT WE GOT TA SAY. WEV'E BEEN HAWKIN HEADLINES FAR FROM MAKIN 'EM TODAY! AND OUR RANKS WILL GROW!
AND WE'LL KICK THEIR REAR!
AND THE WORLD WILL KNOW THAT WE'VE BEEN HERE!
When those stupid balls get throwin will we hear it?
NO!
When those stupid bowlers yellin will we hear it?
NO!
WHEN YOU'VE GOT A HUNDRED VOICES SINGING WHO CAN HEAR A LOUSY BALL START ROLL? And the world will know. That this ain't no game That we got a ton of rotten fruit and perfect aim So they gave their word But it ain't worth beans Now they're gonna see what stop the bowlers really means. And the day has come! And the time is now! And the fear is gone!
AND MY NAME IS MUD!
AND THE STRIKE IS ON!
AND I CAN'T STAND BLOOD!
AND-
"OK OK whatever I get the point. You wanna go on strike but how? We have gotta organize!"
"OK I will talk to you about it" Jack said.
"Good I have to go home" And with that I went home to think.
A/N: ok well how was that chapter? I know it took a while but bear with me. I wasn't home all weekend. R/R! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
