Beauty and the Beast
* Just an authors note I love Blink and don't find his eye at all gross or beastly but for the purposes of the story in 1898 any disability was looked down upon.
My eye slowly opened as I awoke to the sounds of grumbling and shuffling, looks like another great day. The mornings in the Newsboys lodging house weren't exactly my favorite, mornings in general weren't my favorite. Don't get me wrong I love the boys like family but, there's always a "but" for people like me. I know the greatest boys in the world, and here comes the "but" I'm dirt poor with an eye patch. The black patch may be increase my sales but, it limits as well, you normal people have no idea. Jack walks down the street and girls fall over they would run the Brooklyn Bridge naked to get a date with him. He's got a great girl too real smart with manners, looks and a nice family. You'd be grouchy in the morning too if you were poor, had no girl and were so hot you stuck to your sheets every sticky, blazing summer morning. I snapped out of my inner morning monologue as I bumped into Mush. He opened his mouth in a very mush like manner to start a conversation, boy could he talk.
"Heya Blink I met dis great goil last night, a real looker she bought me last pape and gave me a quatah!" he took of his cap as he described the girl who bought his pape.
" Ya know what Mushy, I think you'se is going softer than you'se already is on me" I teased him and smacked him with my hat. He gave me a shove and BAM! I whammed into a girl, not just a girl but a beautiful girl…I didn't just say beautiful did I? There were no words to describe her, she fell on her bottom with a plop, dropping her book on the side walk. Her long auburn hair tied back in a low pony-tail with a blue ribbon, it curled lightly at the ends and caught the suns rays giving it crimson highlights. Her eyes were a cat like green, they were slightly squinted in annoyance and her red lips in a pout. A very kissable pout. I was mesmerized she stood quickly, picked up her book and gave a such a glare I could almost feel the daggers. With her face still in a adorable yet dangerous pout she smacked me in the head with her book and opened up those rose colored lips.
" If you weren't so cute I would've hit you with more than a book," then a grin broke on to her face," I hope to see you around Kid Blink." And with that she spun on her heel and walked away her hair swaying in the breeze. I turned to Mush my mouth agape , his face mirrored mine. What in New York just happened.
"Ya know what Mush I tink I met me self a goil too." I murmured still in shock as I turned to look at her retreating form. She was gone and it left me wondering, did that really just happen.
Hey! Should I continue tell me if I should. Review and some tips please did I get blink right this is my first fic be nice (giving puppy dog eyes) don't insult me to bad
