"Aww does the little baby want his ball back?"the cubby one says

"I'm not the one who got beat up by my baby sister." I say

He scrunched his eyebrows

"well your gonna have to play us for it"The chubby one says again

"Fight, fight!" Everybody chants

"What the matter you deaf? You wanna play or not?" The chubby one says

"We'll play you two on two" Rocky says coming through the crowd

"For how much?" The tall boy says

"For how much?, we're not supposed to gamble." Rocky says, the boys start laughing

"What am I hearing we're not supposed to gamble, we'll I wouldn't want to do anything to make your mommy or daddy spank you" the chubby one says
