My Girl Page #2

What time did you plan on getting up?

Quick Dad, we'll never make it!

Hey! Do you only pay half the fare?

Is that why you get on half way?

It was a 10 km bus ride to

the local government school.

Most kids lived closer than that.

As a result,

I didn't have many friends.

Hey! Let's play Rubber Bands today.

I got heaps of 'em!

Who wants to play with me?

We'll meet at the usual place.

Yesterday I beat this Grade 6 kid!

Jack lived at the market.

I won all his rubber bands off him!

When I was in Grade 2,

Jack was in Grade 4.

When I was in Grade 3,

Jack was still in Grade 4.

Now we're in the same class.

He never stopped eating.

He was the biggest,

so he was the leader of the gang.

You're the best, Jack!

That's Prik. He was in my year,

and Jack's best friend.

Prik wanted to be a singer.

He knew the words to every song

Jack! I'd say you're ready to

play the high school kids.

This is Manote.

He was in Grade 3.

He was good at schoolwork,

good at sport...

but no good at expressing himself.

That's Dtee. He'd been

cute ever since he was a baby.

His dad owned the ice works.

He had to help him every day.

Get a move on!

And this little guy is Boy.

Hey fatso! Give it back!

His mother owned the market.

Good morning, ma'am.

Hello. What are you buying today?

Good morning, ma'am.

Hello. Good morning.

Boy always had some new toy to show us.

Let me play too!

Back off!

But it's mine! If you don't let me see it,

I won't let you play.

Why? What are you so worried about?

Give it back. You hit me.

You're not playing with it.

What's your problem?

Son of a b*tch!

You calling my mother a b*tch?

You think you're tough coz

you're so big.

Right! You're in for it!

- See you at lunchtime.

- OK.

It's 8 a.m.

(national anthem)

OK. Jump!

Let's play for real.

Ha! Take that! Ha!

This time I'm serious.

You're dead meat, Jack.

Nearly... Hooray! I won!

Can I play?

Sure.

You got any rubber bands?

Use mine. Pay me back next time.

He's not playing.

But Boy's got no-one to play with.

I got it!

Jeez! You're annoying!

You make us late for school.

I said you're not playing!

Let's play some other place.

Hey! Where are my rubber bands, Jack?

You're on the end!

What's that over there?

I don't see anything.

Jack! Take it! I don't want it now.

You don't want it? Then I'll eat it.

What are we going to play today?

Let's play Rubber Bands again.

No... let's play elastics.

Let's play Chinese swordfights!

Prik, you'll be the villain.

Dtee, you're the emperor.

I'm the best looking

so I'll be the hero.

Every time we play, you always win!

Can't we play mothers and fathers

instead? We haven't played for ages.
