Kids were playing and teenagers were playing baseball in the streets, this was just another day and no one complained. till you saw 3, 9 year old boys on the stoop of an apartment building, and you knew them: They were slick, mario and calogero, you knew how to get slick and mario riled up "you see those 3 boys ova' there?" you whispered to the girls as you sat next to them "mhm, what about em'?" isabela said and nancy nodded, wanting to hear you say something more "well, give me 5 quarters and ill tell you some" you proudly said as they groaned and grabbed quarters from their shared mini pocket purse then gave them to you and you smiled, telling them secrets about slick since he was a trouble-maker at best "who ya think shes talkin' about this time?" mario said to both boys and the 3 boys looked at you from afar "we can tell her to tell us who she keeps talking about" slick said, raising an eyebrow but calogero cut in before mario was gonna talk "mind our business, thats what we should do" he said, shaking his head. he never stuck his nose into another persons conversation like them, you continued talking to the girls, and you watched as the 2 boys got up and start walking your way while calogero was trying to tell them it was a bad idea, you knew this was gonna happen, and you knew it was gonna be funny "oh here they come" you said to the girls, who were giggling, slick was the first to reach the 3 of you, and he looked at the girls and you "whats so secret you gotta be charging for it, doll?" he said, raising an eyebrow, the girls giggled, which they always did "None of your business" you said bluntly back to him, a little smirk on your face and slick rolled his eyes "come ooonn, spill the beans" he said, putting his arm around your shoulder and pulling you closer "Nope. i charge boys 10 dollars max if they wanna know something" you said, crossing your arms over your chest, trying not to break and laugh, slick rolled his eyes and scoffed "thats expensive" he said, letting go of you and shoving his hands into his pockets, slightly annoyed. he was getting annoyed "how much did they pay?" slick said, nodding to nancy and isabela, you didnt wanna reply but answered anyways "5 quarters" you bluntly said and his eyes widened a bit "5 quarters! 5?!" he said, slightly shocked and you nodded "why do i gotta pay 10 bucks!" he argued and you gave him a look "the twins need the stuff i say, you just think its gossip" you giggled and rolled your eyes "thats unfair!" he said, huffing and you raised an eyebrow with a shrug
