Chapter Two

"Oi, Matt! Good to see ya!" Mickey said. Mickey was a long time friend of Matthew's. Mickey was a foreign exchange student from Britain, until he decided to live in America.

"Hey...I...ran into...the 3rd...Avenues." Matthew drained to say past heaving breaths. Mickey was wearing black sweat pants and a green shirt.

"Oh crap! You'd better get inside. I'll fetch you some water." Mickey said leading Matthew into his house and on his couch. Mickey ran into the kitchen and came back with a glass pitcher of water and a glass full of water.

"So, what happened?" Mickey asked. Matthew gulped down his water in a flash, handed Mickey his glass, and poured another cup.

"Well, I was taking a stroll," Matthew began to explain. He told Mickey about how he was thinking about his party, not realizing he went down 3rd Avenue, met Gally and one of his goons. Matthew also explained what he did to Gally and his goon. Mickey was so ecstatic, he nearly drenched his dog with water.

"Wow! You're braver than I am, I would've payed him right then and there." Mickey said.

"I would've too if I- oh no, I dropped my pocket knife by Mine Street!" Matthew screamed.

Mickey got up and looked out the window. Matthew gulped down his last cup of water. "Well, you ain't goin' anywhere now. Gally just showed up with help." Mickey said.
