Kitty laughed. She was having fun!! She had found a rock that made marks on the side walk and was outisde of the aueens lodging house playing hop skotch!
She picked up a rock from off the path and tossed it down the hop skotch board. She then jumped from one foot to another as she jumped down the line. when she got to the rock she picked it up and went to the end of the board, then turned around and came back.
People gave her weird looks, but she didn't care. they were just dumb, and she was enjoying herself.

Lips was walking around Queens she didn't feel like staying in Harlem today, it was too nice out. She was kicking a pebble around since there was nothing else to do. She was also humming a random tune that she came up with. Lips usually wasn't this bored (not on a nice day like this) but everyone was busy selling and she was already done.
She was outside the Queens lodging house, she wasn't going to go in, and she just looked at it. On the outside it looked really clean and she wondered what the inside looked like but she would never go in there. She didn't like Queens that much but she could never figure out the reason. She thought it was because everything looked too clean every where she walked. She just wanted to throw garbage around and sing a random song, but no she didn't do that. Even though there was a trash can right there, filled to the top.
She saw a queens newsie; she looked her age but Lips was a little shorter. She was playing a game that reminded Lips of her childhood; she use to play it back in Virginia. She watched the girl and smiled; Lips hasn't played hop scotch for a long time. "Having fun?" asked Lips walking up to the girl.

Kitty didn't see lips there so was a bit startled when she suddenly spoke to her. "Oh hi!" kitty said with a bright smile.
"Yeah this is great fun, you ever played hop skotch before?" she asked as she started down the board once more. She picked up the rock before she threw it again. Kitty really was having a great time too. As odd as that would sound for a girl her age to be having fun just playing hop skotch.
"Do you wanna play? Just find a rock and join in the fun!" She hopped down the board again grinning. "1...2...3...5... 6...7...." she got all the way to ten before she turned around and picked up the rock on her way back.

"Yeah this is great fun, you ever played hop scotch before?"
"Yea," said Lips, "When I was in Virginia but not anymore." she added watching Kitty go back and forth with her game. Funny how old Kitty was and she's playing something that five year olds play. "Don't you think you're a bit too old for this?" she asked her.
"Do you wanna play? Just find a rock and join in the fun!"
She looked at the pebble she was kicking earlier, "No thanks Kitty," she said "But thanks for that offer," she said and then continued to watch Kitty, her perkiness makes Lips sick. She stuck her hands in her pocket and started to mess with the changed that was in there. "So how's life going for you, Kitty." said Lips trying to make conversation.

"Don't you think you're a bit too old for this?"
"Oh no!" she said as she continued up and down the board. "Never too old to have a little fun once in a while. B'sides... nothin' better to do," she said. she reached the end of the board and stopped before she turned around and threw the rock down the board again, and then skipped down after it.
"So how's life going for you, Kitty."
"I'm fine," she said as she got to the ten again and turned around. 'Nothing interesting happening really," she giggled a little. "No news to report," she smiled finding that sentance pretty smart for her. "How're you, Lips?" she asked back.
Kitty didn't understand people like lips who just couldn't be happy. kitty never seemed to have any problems with being happy with the sky as blue as it was and it being such a nice day how could anyone be upset or unhappy on a nice day especially like today?

"Never too old to have a little fun once in a while. B'sides... nothin' better to do,"
"Right," said Lips knowing that was probably true but she thought it wasn't, definitely not these days when she worked non-stop. She hasn't been able to go around New York like she used to when she first came here.
"How're you, Lips?"
"Fine," she said, "Can I asked you something?" she asked and not really waiting for a sure or no, "How is Queens handling the Mike D. Greaser problem?" asked Lips, she might as well help Mike out a little bit I mean she was on her side and she hasn't been helping them a bunch. She thought she might as well help now.

Kitty shrugged a little. "Idunno exactly," she said. "I mean, i hear the guy ain't nothing but a big jerk, just around looking for some followers. Sounds like someone just lookin' for trouble to me and i hear he's just startin' trouble to cause trouble like some big uprising or something.
Kitty picked up the rock again. "but as far as i'm concerned," she threw the rock down the board again, "he ain't worth my time, so I'm not gonna worry about it." Though this wasn't quite true. kitty did worry about it a little, only because she was worried for her friends. "How about you, Lips? How is Harlem handeling the Mike D. Greaser problem?"

"he ain't worth my time, so I'm not gonna worry about it."
Lips raised her eyebrows, "You're joking right?" she asked Kitty can't really be serious! Even Lips feared Mike a little, not that she would ever admit to it, but she did. Mike was pure evil and she had a feeling that he'll win this war, she could just feel it in her bones; but she could be wrong.
"How about you, Lips? How is Harlem handling the Mike D. Greaser problem?"
"How should I know?" she asked "Just because I'm a Harlem newsie doesn't mean live at the lodging house and listen to what's going on." she added; truth was that she was with Mike one-hundred percent. Yes she annoys him and he annoys her but they can make a good team when they feel like it. "I suggest all newsies be careful though, I don't think Mike's kidding this time." said Lips with a smirk.

((Hihi! I'm back now! So sorry, I was gone for a week, but I have reterned!))
"Okay," Kitty said with a shrug. She didn't really care if Mike was kidding or if he was serious. So long as he stayed outta her way. She could take him on... she thought. She'd never really met the guy face to face, maybe he was taller in person or something.
"So if you don't live at the lodging house," kitty said deciding that she'd take this route of the conversation, "where do you live? Do you have your own apartment or something?"

Lips never got what Kitty was all about. She was nice but she didn't seem to care about any of the important subjects, not that Mike was important to Lips he's a pain in her butt, but still she should fear him a little and care about all of what's happening.
"So if you don't live at the lodging house, where do you live? Do you have your own apartment or something?"
"Um no I don't have my own apartment," she said, "I live anywhere I want to. I could live in Virginia again if I wanted to and then come back here to live." she explained, she was free and that's how she loved it! No one telling her what to do and what to eat; yes she misses her parents but still she loves living in New York.

"So you lived somewhere else before New York?" Kitty asked. she picked up the rock and threw it down the board again. "I've never lived outside of the city. Is Virgina pretty?" she asked as she skipped down the hop skotch board.
"So, wait," Kitty said stopping at the end of the board, "if you live wherever you want where do you keep your stuff? Do you just have a bag with everything in it you own that you carry around with you everywhere?" She didn't get it.

"Yea, it's nice to live different places." said Lips fixing the hat on her head. "That's a pity that you didn't get to live anywhere else though." she said, "It's really refreshing to go to different places." she explained to Kitty.
"if you live wherever you want where do you keep your stuff? Do you just have a bag with everything in it you own that you carry around with you everywhere?"
"Yea," she said showing the bag on her shoulder, "It's quite easy." she said to Kitty, "since I don't have many things I can just carry one bag and make my life simple." she said.
