Chapter 5
Skittery's PoV
"Rubix? What are you doing?" Rubix pushed her hair out of her face and stared at me.
"What do you mean?"
"You're supposed to be helping me! And who are you anyways?" I focused my attention on the.
"My name's Shooter. I'm teaching Rubix how to play pool."
I rolled my eyes. "Believe me, the last thing Rubix needs is another distraction. Seeing as we're in the pool hall, if she learns how to pay it will only be a distraction."
Shooter ignored me and turned back to the pool table. "OK, you need to bounce the cue ball off the shoulder so it hits the nine ball into the side pocket. Just like this." She demonstrated.
"Oh, OK, like this?" Rubix reset the balls and tried what Shooter had just taught her.
"Um," I tried again, "do you even work in this department?"
"No," smiled Shooter cheerfully, "I work with Buckles in special effects! But I like pool much more than working."
"Well," I was getting very ticked off now, "I like...playing black jack better than working too but you don't see me doing that, do you?"
Shooter shrugged, "let's play." She pulled a deck of cards out of her deep pocket.
"We-we shouldn't—"
"Blah, blah, blah wuss boy, play! Sit here!" she pointed to a chair.
Shooter, Rubix and I settled around the table (me with the help of some gently coaxing) and Shooter dealt the cards out.
"What's this? You're playing black jack and no one told me? Never do that again, you hear?" Racetrack filled in the last side of the table and included himself immediately.
"You guys, we really should get back to work..."
"Hey, Skitts, does it look like anyone needs help?" asked Rubix.
To be honest, it didn't but I didn't answer.
"Good, besides, I've got BLACK JACK!"
"No fair," Race looked at her cards, "you've been cheating!"
Rubix stuck out her tongue at him. "You're mad 'cause you didn't win, being a card shark and all," she added sarcastically.
"Deal again," Race ordered Shooter, "I'll show you 'card shark'."
I just hope this isn't a sign of the rest of the summer. And even more that we don't get caught: I'd be out of a job faster than you can imagine.
A/n: there you have it! Chapter 5! Please read and review! I'd greatly appreciate it!!!
Shoutouts:
Cassies Grandma- my music teacher likes Newsies too! But I'd heard of it before he played it in class, that is when Achilles, Arrow and SparkS discovered it though. I'm like the Newsies entrepreneur...I like the sound of that!
Rubix the cube- I hope you like pool...
Sapphy- Race, eh? Hmm...that could work! The way my story is going, he could win you in a poker game...joking...or am I? Hmm...
Strawberri Shake- I pour water all over myself all the time. My socks get all wet.
Ireland O'Reily- I go on in school all the time too, I even updated there once. I tried to find your story but I couldn't! Ahh! Sorry!
Madison Square- but you wouldn't want his nose to grow, would you?
Trinity-matrix-13- slowly setting up or writers block? Either way, it's true!
BrooklynGrl- I love this chapter. It may not have anything to do with the fic's outcome, but I had to update!
AlmatariofArda-um...thanks?
