A Newsies story.

What would happen if someone else was there all along? The whole time someone was there. What if she wanted her story told? What if I tell you she never intended to fall in love? What if I told you that girl was me? Well here is my story.

My name is Ashley Sapira James also known as Angel. I'm 15yrs old and a Manhattan newsie. I'm 5'2 with shoulder length brownish red hair and am skinny. Your probably thinking there was no girl newsie there right? Well your wrong there I was the only girl have always been and will always be. You see before I was a newie I was in the refuge. You all probably know Mush well he's my big brother. And well I never told him about me being in the refuge so he intently has no clue. And Jack well lets say we both broke out of the refuge and have been best friends every since. I know everything there is to know about him and I mean everything we both know the truth about each other.

I know about his parents his dreams his secretes and even his real name Francis Sullivan is his real name only I know that though.

Monday mornins are always the worst at the lodgen house. It's always the same thing and noone ever wants to wake up at 6am. I then hear Kloppman coming up the stairs and I smile I'm always the first one up in the mornin I wake up an hour earlier then everyone else. Kloppman looks at me as if asking for help and I just smile again at him. And get up and start helping him get up the boys.

"BOOTS" he yells which causes Boots head to shoot up and out of his pillow. Then I laugh as I see Klopp hit Skittery to wake him up. Then Jack as always is the hardest to wake. So you want to know what I do I whistle.

"ANGEL" the whole place screams at me and I of course just give them a cheeky grin. My whistle happens to be very very loud which use to my advantage. Then I get pelted with pillows naturally. I look over to see jack still in his bed asleep.

"Jack come on wake up," I say shaking him but it does not good.

"Jack I'se sorry but you'se got to get out of bed somehow." I mutter. Then I put my finger and tumb into my mouth and whistle even louder. Jack then automatically jumps up and out of bed. Everyone is looking at us like normal.

"Angel my butt. You should be called little devil." I hear Mush say.

"MUSH" I say warningly but jokingly at the same time. Even though hes older taller and stronger he knows that I could beat him to a pulp. But almost everyone is taller then me so that doesn't say much. There all taller then me by a foot or 5in at least.

"No seriously Angel I'se think I'se might start calling you'se devil." Jack says patting my head. That's so normal.

"Haha very funny guys" I say punching Jack in the arm lightly.
