jack and sadie went back to the junkyard because of their tired legs, but i continued to walk. as my head was down looking for money, i ran into someone,"god, i'm so sorry!" i looked up and noticed it was a girl. she had awfully short hair with a rounded face and brown eyes like mine. me being my hormonal self, butterflies arose in my stomach.
"it's totally fine, i'm sorry too, i wasn't looking either."
she started to walk away but i called out,"what's your name?"
she turned around and smiled,"millie."
i said with a calm tone,"i'm finn."
she responded,"i hope to bump into you again, finn."
an hour passed and i was still on the streets and that girl was still on my mind. i had only bumped into her once but it seemed like i've known her my whole life. millie. millie. millie. the word never left my mind and the smile on her face was painted on my brain. i wasn't up to searching for money any longer so i went back to the place we claimed ours. we call it the junkyard but truly it was just an abandoned lot of broken down cars. i noticed jack working on fixing a bike and sadie sat on the hood of of a truck watching him from above. i went to jack and called out,"isn't it too hot to work on a bike?"
he rolled his eyes,"it's never too hot to work on a bike, finn."
i laughed at him,"well if you dehydrate, you won't get any water until tomorrow. thank the heavens it'll rain tomorrow!"
jack realized,"you've gotta set out the jugs when it does."
i sighed,"you think i don't know anything? i'll be up early to put them out as soon as it starts."
after i finished my sentence and before jack could say anything else, joe came running in yelling,"i got the job, i got the job!"
i ran, crashing into him with a hug and asking,"did you get every shift?"
"yes, and the weekends too!"
it was noticeable that joe was proud of himself, and i was proud of him too. i hadn't seen joe so happy in such a while,"i'm happy for you, bro."
jack stood up and walked over,"we'll be okay after all, won't we, joe?"
he smiled a reassuring smile,"i think so."
