Kitty & Mack : A Love Story


Mack was athletic, he played baseball and ran track in the winter. Most people on 145Th street played basketball, but he was into baseball and track. Mack played left field for Ralph Bunche Academy, the couch of the track team kept him on the team in case he wanted to show up for a meet. He was a star, the couches loved him, but his attitude wasn't the best. Teachers gave him C's when they would've given him P's for pitiful. He was smart, but he acted as if he didn't care about his grades. 

He was a senior at Ralph Bunche Academy, it was the first week of senior year when he met Kitty. She was the granddaughter of Duke Wilson, he owned the barbershop on 145Th street across from the church. Everyone expected her to be smart, since her grandfather was Mr.Wilson, but she wasn't just smart, she was a genius. She was just into books as Mack was into baseball, she was a 16 year old senior. During the first week of school, their English teacher had them write a poem to someone they admire. Kitty wrote her poem to Mack, and he was deadly in love with her after she recited her poem in front of the class. 

Kitty and Mack went out for a while but she was curious if he loved her. He did, and started planning his life. While she was getting her law degree, he was playing major league baseball. Until the day before Christmas, two guys were running down the street. The ran across Powell Avenue, almost got hit by a cab, the cab swerved but stopped before hitting a guy on a delivery path. A black mustang drove by and started shooting, someone screamed DRIVE BY and everyone hit the ground. The guy on the delivery path was Mack, the guys in the mustang injured him. He was rushed to the hospital in time to take the 2 bullet out of his ankle. The 2 bullets took his whole foot out, Mack was so devastated. His whole life plan went down the drain, he couldn't play ball anymore. 

After he was admitted home he didn't want to talk to anyone, even Kitty. He told his mom to not let her in the house.Kitty didn't know what to do, so she stayed at her grandfathers barbershop until Mack came down. She didn't care about school, she only wanted to take care of Mack. She was only 16 she still has more time to go to college and get her law degree. Mr.Wilson loved her and couldn't kick her out so he left her stay. 

Mack never came down until one day, his friend, Peewee, called and told him that Kitty was not going to school, he told her she needed his help. So, he finally went downstairs and talked to her. He didn't know what to do anymore, and neither did Kitty, but that didn't stop her from loving him.

  2. Romance like this only happens in stories and movies not in real life. In real life, you really love each other at the beginning and that love begins to fade away. There is No love in real life
