Chapter Three
A New Friend
“What are you still doing in that trash?” an unfamiliar female voice said. I felt a hand grab my arm as I was lifted out of the filthy garbage. “I’m asking myself the same question,” I said. The girl laughed, reached for my head, and said, “I heard what happened to you”. She took an empty juice box off my head and dropped it to the ground.
“You okay?” she asked as she inspected my body, looking for any damage that could have been done to me. I took my hand, put it under her chin, and raised her head as I nodded. “Those guys back there go by ‘Bulldogs’ resembling how vicious they are. I say it resembles how dumb they are”. I laughed a bit. “What? It’s true!” she said as she laughed with me. “I’m Marcie, Marcie Meriwhether. And you are?” Marci said as she held out her hand. “Kazuki Kitaro” I said as I shook her hand. She suddenly looked surprised and said, “That’s a mouthful! Okay if I just call you Kaz?”.
“I don’t see why not,” I said scratching my head since I never had a nickname before. “Well Kaz, how about we get to know each other?”. “I’d love to,” I said as I smiled, and in a split-second, she started sprinted around the corner, with a firm grip on my arm.
