"Ay girly girl where'd you think you're goin'?" one of the Jets asked menacingly. Kathleen didn't stop walking. "I'm just headed to work, thank you." There were oohs from the Jets, "ooh a workin' girl!" She heard. A few stepped in front of her. She tried to keep her eyes darted towards the concrete but ultimately stared up at the boys in front of her. "Please, let me pass." She asked, more annoyed than desperate. "Hmm.. Action, you think we should let her go?" Action, the boy on his left, answered after a beat, "yeah I'd say so." The other boy looked at him confused, and honestly Kathleen was too. "That- no, okay, here's what's gonna hap-" "What are you boys doin'?" a higher voice asked. "Oh, uh, nothin' Riff we was just about to get outta here-" "yeah, okay Ice, hold on just a sec" Riff continued, "was my boys botherin' you, pretty girl?" Kathleen looked at the two boys behind Riff innocently. "No." ---------------------- hello! i hope you enjoy this fanfic, it's my first time writing one so please don't be shy to tell me if there's anything that doesn't make sense, or any typos. this book is not a slow burn at all, it's honestly the opposite. also, please don't be a silent reader! i love seeing comments and i will almost always reply to them. thanks, and have a good read!
