"Dear, there are no more top bunks available, so I guess you'll have to use this one," said a blond girl. "My name is Cinnamon, and by the way... are those yours?"
"Yeah, those are my suitcases" Chocolates commented shyly "Is there a closet I can use?"
Sparks laughed, "Our closets are almost empty, so I guess that you can use them all" she took one of the suitcases "You have pretty stuff ovah heah, Chocolates"
"You guys can use it, there's a lot of stuff I haven't worn in years. When you're in a girl's school you spend your time in uniforms," Chocolates added.
"Chocolates?"
"Tell me, Cinnamon"
"Are ya gonna tells us about ya?"
"It's a long story"
"You can tell us" Cinnamon told her "We go to the boys bunkroom to chat every night and you can tell us all for once about yoah life"
"That sounds good" Sparks commented and grabbed Chocolates hand "Let's go to the boys' bunkroom! Those guys are the funniest, you have no idea. We get together every night to play poker with my Racey. "
"Ok, let's go!"
The girls went to the boys bunkroom, where they were already waiting for them. They could hear them laughing from the other side of the hallway.
"We were waiting for ya, goilys!" Dutchy shouted, "Well Chocolates, please tell us all now"
"Ok" she started nervously. "I came to New York when I was 9..."
Spot interrupted "And you're from..."
"Boston. Anyway, my parents made me come to a Boarding School over here. The Mrs. Grant's School for Girls in New York was a very nice place. I never saw my parents, so I spent all my summers with Elizabeth in Texas or New Mexico..."
"New Mexico? In Sta.Fe, New Mexico?" a voice asked.
"Sure. Then my parents died, that was 2 years ago, but I continued studying because my whole schooling had been paid since the beginning. But school ended a few months ago so I finally had to leave"
"Well and she just left today" Dutchy added.
"So when Dutchy found me, I had just realized that somebody stole my money. I had saved $150 and it was all gone! So I'm penniless and working as a newsgirl now".
"Boys?" A new voice could be heard downstairs.
"That's Jackie!" A girl named Turtle said happily "I'm gonna see him" she ran quickly downstairs. "Jackie-boy, it's late! How are you?"
"Turtle! Nice to see ya, goily?" said Jack giving her a big hug "Anything new"
"A newsgoil"
"Really?" Jack asked curiously. "And what's her name?"
"Chocolates" nodded Turtle "She's the sweetest goil on da woild"
"And where is she?"
"Upstairs, Jack."
Jack was curious about the girl. She always was. Well, since he broke up with Sarah last September. He ran upstairs and walked to the girls' bunkroom. It was empty. He remembered that they all go to the boys' bunkroom to have a little chat at the end of the day. He ran again to the boys bunkroom and her people laughing from outside. This time he heard a new laugh: Chocolates.
"Hi Guys" Jack called.
"Kelly! You finally arrived" Skittery said giving him a hug. "We have a new goil ovah heah and she needs to meet our leader"
"Yeah, turtle told me. So, where's Chocolates?"
"She's settling down in her bunk," Race said confidently. "She's nice. I think you should go to see her"
"Fine"
Jack left again the boys room and went to the girls. When he opened the door, he saw a girl sitting on her bunk, reading. She looked so peaceful and beautiful. Jack walked close to her and called her softly.
"Chocolates?"
"Yeah?" answered the girl without raising her eyes, but keeping them in the book.
"Nice to meets ya, I'se Jack Kelly" Jack said while he sat in the floor beside to her bunk.
"Nice to meet ya, Jack" said looking at him; finally, "I've... heard a lot... about ya... today"
Their attraction was immediate. Jack was enthralled with the girl, especially with her blue eyes, for him they were the biggest and bluest eyes that he had ever seen.
"Well goily, that must be because I'se the leader" said the Cowboy flirtatiously. "So, how long are you gonna stay?"
"Don't know. I like this"
"Anyway, I came to say hello and to take ya to the boys' bunkroom, we're having a meeting ovah theah. Come on"
"Sorry, I'm just tired. I've had a long day Jack"
"I guess you'll have to rest a little then".
"Yeah"
"Well, good night Chocolates"
"Good night, Jack"
Jack closed the door slowly as he left the bunkroom. He had forgotten the last time he saw a girl that pretty and the same happened with Chocolates, she had never seen a guy that handsome and polite that was still single. Just a few minutes later, the girls decided to go to sleep and the boys did the same. Everybody slept, except for Jack.
"Blink!" Jack whispered.
"Jack, let me sleep" the boy answered angrily.
"No, I have to talk."
"About what?"
"Chocolates"
"What about her?"
"She's gorgeous"
"What's gorgeous about her?"
"Everything. Have you noticed her eyes? They're blue and deep. Her skin is white and soft, like porcelain. Her hair" Jack sighs, "It's like chocolate, the colour, the smell. It's perfect and long"
"I can't believe this Jack, so is it over with Sarah?"
"Yeah, I think so. Sarah's getting married with William in June. I like Chocolates She's sweet and innocent"
"Whatever, Jack" complained Blink "Let me have some sleep, ok? Tell her ta sell papes with ya tomorrow. Get ta knows her a little better."
"Ok, that's a good idea"
"Now, good night Jack"
"Night, Blink"
I'm done this chapter. But this is just beginning! Keep reviewing please.
