"You know what the best part about being poor is?" Mitch asked through labored breaths, aiming his question at no one.

"No, Mitch, what?" He said back to himself.

"All the exercise."

Mitch had been dragging his drum set for over an hour through the streets of the city and now through the quaint lanes of suburbia that was Jules' neighborhood. He had forgotten just how far she lives away from him. He probably should ha e taken up Trucker, his "foster" dad(Even though he hasn't actually adopted him) on his offer of a ride.

"But then I would miss out on all the fun of lugging a patch drum set over 25 miles." He huffed out.

Mitch had dressed himself in black jeans, his black work boots, and a black wife beater. He also had a brown leather jacket that was currently slung over the drum set.

The drum set itself was already perfectly set up on a big wooden platform. It had been haphazardly painted black and had little wheels on each point of the platform. It looked like he had built it himself......which he had.

He viewed through his aviators that he had finally reached his destination. It seemed "The Gang" were all guffawing at one another and all seemed rather excited.

It looked they hadn't noticed him yet. He game e a sly smile and dropped the wagon like handle he had been using to pull the platform. He made his way to the back of it and began pushing it with all of his force. He then jumped on top of it and began to play one of his drum solos as he slid along the sidewalk.

He played for maybe 10 seconds before the platform crashed into the group of trashcans sitting in front of her house. The drum set, his jacket and his army style duffelbag did not flinch.

He however went flying off the platform, barreled through the trashcans, then rolled along the ground. After rollingaybe 15 feet. He managed to get his feet under himself, pop up, and scream at the top of his lungs "ROCK AND ROLL!!!"

He had a couple scrapes along his arms and a bruise starting to form on his right bicep, but his smile was big and bright.
