I said a quick good bye and walked over to Colleen's bed, and sat down
beside her, "Wanna talk?" I asked softly.
She looked up at me, distrust showing plainly on her face, she raised her eyebrows, "Not ta you'se," with that she rolled over, stood up and walked out of the room. I shrugged and walked over to Jack's bed, I sat down, "Spot said I had to stay here until he said it was safe."
Jack looked over at me and smiled, "Yea," he said nodding, "You'se is ta stick wid me till he comes back to take you'se back ta Brooklyn." I pouted, "But what if I don't want to stick with you? Hmmm? Mr. Egotistical thinks I'm attracted to him Jack?"
I said this as playfully as possible. He pretended to look hurt, "So you'se don't tink I'm da moist cha'min kid around?"
"Not even close dearie," I said truthfully.
"Den who'se do you'se like?" I laughed loudly, "you think im just going to tell you Jack? Your insane, im not that stupid!"
He looked surprised, "Really? Cause I'se woulda guessed something more along da linesa." he trailed off as I hit him on the arm, "you mean person!"
He clutched his chest in mock pain, "ME! A mean poison? Dat hoits.no really, dat hoits." "I really can make it hurt if you want me to," I said smiling and laughing at his complete idiocy. "Nah, a goily like you'se couldn't hoit a fly!"
Yea.he was probably right about that. "Where do I sleep in this place?" I asked, finally getting to the reason I had approached him before. "Oh, wells I thought you'se like ta sleep ovah der in da coinah top bunk, above Boidy." I cracked a smile, hugged Jack and walked over to my bunk, Bird was sitting on her bed reading.
"What are you reading?"
"A book."
"Der, what is the name?"
"Tom Sawyer."
"I've never heard of that book before."
"Well now you have, go ta sleep."
"It's nine thirty!" "All da more reason ta git sleepy fast Jade."
"Why?" Bird finally looked up from her book annoyed, "Jade, we get up at da crack a' dawn, and I doubt you'se is used ta it, its hard enough fer us waking up, so you'se might wanna try ta get started sleepin."
"Alright, I'll take your advice, but tomorrow, can I talk to you about something?"
"Sure you'se kin, jist let me read me book tonight, and I promise we'se can talk tomorrow."
With that I nodded and climbed onto the top, where I didn't take her advice. I laid down in my outfit, not removing anything but my shoes. I looked around the room, the couple kissing I noticed, was Mush and a shorthaired red head. I continued to sweep my gaze across the room until it fell on another couple kissing-on a bed.
I do not know what possessed me to do so, but I couldn't look away, I knew it was rude, but I watched secretly from my perch. The longer I watched, the more my gaze was drawn to them, something about the boy made me uneasy, and that's when I noticed ever so suddenly, that it was Spot. Picture was sitting beside Spot, running her hands through his dirty blonde hair.
Spot broke the kiss and whispered something in her ear, she laughed lightly and nodded quickly, grabbed his hand and led him up to the roof.
My stomach was unsettled, what was with me? Picture was his girlfriend.or at least, she acted as if she was. I stayed up for another thirty minutes at least, and things were pretty quiet by then, Spot and Picture however still had not come down. I glanced about to make sure everyone was at least half way asleep, and climbed out the window next to my bunk.
As silent as I could be without shoes, I climbed the fire escape steps until I reached five steps to the roof, I stopped climbing and sat down. I heard a soft voice, and then a somewhat annoyed one.
"Pictah, you'se looks great tonight"
"Spot, answer me question, why was you'se hold'n hands wit dat new goil?"
"She grabbed me hand, it aint me fault I'm so attractive now is it?" I could just see the smirk on his face, he would just love to believe I was the one who had grabbed his hand.that I was, but he offered it besides, shrugging to no one in particular, I continued my eaves dropping.
"No, it ain't ya fault you'se as.adorable as you'se are" there was silence after that, and after I had waited ten minutes, and the talking was still ceased, I decided I wasn't going to hear anything else useful, or remotely interesting, so I walked back down the stairs and climbed back through the window.
I stopped dead when I realized there was someone staring straight back at me, I stared straight back into his blue eyes, "Shouldn't you be asleep by now Spot?"
She looked up at me, distrust showing plainly on her face, she raised her eyebrows, "Not ta you'se," with that she rolled over, stood up and walked out of the room. I shrugged and walked over to Jack's bed, I sat down, "Spot said I had to stay here until he said it was safe."
