Never Fear, Brooklyn is Here

Ch. 4

I didn't know what to do after Flight left. I've been alone with boys before, but never like this. We talked about every ting as we walked around Brooklyn. It was like talking to an old friend; expect that the old friend gave me butterflies in my stomach. I loved being around him, and at the same time, I hated it. I hated all the teasing I was going to get for just talking to him. I'm just friends with him. Right?

"So, Catwalk," Mush said, " What do ya like ta so for fun?"

I thought about it for a moment. " Well, whenever one of da boys makes fun of me, I soak em'. I also love poker. I never lose."

"Flight could beat ya."

"Him! Beat me! Yeah right. Mush, Spot can't beat me. What does dat tell ya?'

"Alls I know is dat if dare playin', Spot is probably broke."

I laughed and grabbed his hat before running down the street and into an alleyway that led to the lodging house. Mush, on the other hand got so lost. I was wondering him from the roof. He was wondering around like a lost dog. I guess I laughed a little too loud because he looked up at me and ran in my direction. I stayed there until he came. He took one look at me wearing his hat and laughed out loud.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"Dat hat does not look good on ya." He laughed. Then he lunged at me to claim what was rightfully his. His hat. I fell back and he landed on top of me. I playfully pushed him off.

"Can I please have me hat back?" He asked.

"Can I think about it?" I replied.

"Do ya have to?"

"Do ya think I have to?"

"Why are we talkin' in question?"

"I don't know." (a.n. That's me answer to everything!)

Then I jumped off the roof and into a truck full of papes. I looked back up at Mush to see his face in complete shock. I quickly jumped off the truck and into the street while I ran to Martha's to grab a sandwich because I hadn't eaten all day. It took Mush 15 to find me.

"Where were ya?" I asked.

"I should be askin' ya." He replied.

Mush ordered a ham and cheese sandwich. I, on the other hand, ordered a hotdog. We sat and ate until Flight came in to get Mush.

"Did ya have fun?" He asked me.

"Well if ya consider stealing Mush's hat and running away from him from fun." I replied.

"Yes, I would consider that fun. Come on Mush, if we don't get back soon, Jack ill' kill us. Bye Catwalk, it was nice meeting ya."

"Bye Flight, nice meeting ya too. Bye Mush. Don't be a stranger 'round here."

Them Mush and Flight left for Manhattan. I've always wanted to go to Manhattan. Maybe Mush would take me sometime. But, Spot will be so mad for going over there. But maybe he wouldn't. Jack didn't mind Flight and Mush coming over here.

"Catwalk, did Mush and Flight leave?" asked Spot.

"Yeah, why?" I replied.

"Wanted to make sure dat dey left ok. So how was it?"

"How was what?"

"How was it wit Mush?"

"I just stole his hat and we ran around da city for a while.'

"Dat was it?"

"Yeah."

"Alright then, how about goin' back to da house to play some poker?"

"Fine. Lets get goin'"

Spot and I ran back to the house. By the time we got there, the boys had already eaten and waiting for us for the game to begin.
