I sat at my computer and lit a cig I am in my room and I was bored as all hell and I couldn't help but braid my dark brown hair and flopped my side swept bangs from my face. I am a pretty normal teenage girl pimples of course, hair that I absolutely hate that is wavy but I straighten it every day. I have a dancer physique from 10 years of dancing ballet, jazz,hiphop, lyrical, modern and of course irish step during the summer. I do sing and I don't have the most amazing voice ever either it was okay but not like the songs of angels. I love my eyes though they are a green with an outer ring of a dark color I cant quite figure out. I am Amber and I am a normal 16 year old girl. I love newsies always have, always will I bet your wondering where I get my smokes from…I get them from my best older brother he got me into them so its only fair he keeps the habit up. I have a normal size b chest for my age and I do have a nice body I guess if you like pale skin and curves.
Anyway I put my Newsies dvd in and watched it smirking and singing with the boys in the movie and then my computer froze…I hate it when it does that gosh! I hit the screen and grabbed both sides shaking it like crazy I was getting pissed I wanted to watch my movie! I felt a spark a I cringed back and I couldn't my hands were glued to the computer.
"WHAT THE HELL!" I yelled glaring at the screen I felt a breeze and a whirlpool of sorts came out of the screen making me go wide eyed in shock. I got sucked in and I flew in a circle and fell to the ground in an alley way. "fuck" I muttered I looked at my pajam pants with snowflakes and my 'kiss me im irish shirt' and saw carriages I sighed and fell back. "I feel like I am in a fanfiction…" I muttered annoyed I grabbed some boys clothes and slipped those on easily. I looked at my old clothes and used the pocketknife cutting them up and threw them out I put on a cap and lit a smoke with a match. I looked around smoke in my mouth dangling from it and I waltzed out with my suspenders hanging b my hips deciding to go with it. I sighed and took my cap off and put it into my back pocket and ran my finger over the top part of my hair. I sighed again and took a drag and walked around thinking of what I should do I saw people stare but could care less I was more worried about getting home I have a dance performance soon and I need to get back.
"hey….goily…" I heard a voice say I ignored them and kept walking I didn't evne notice the carriage coming close to me I felt someone grab my arm I accidently inhaled too much and gasped coughing and choking as I was whirled around the cig flew from my hands and I fell ontop of someone. "*hack*ugh" I muttered hitting someone I flipped my hair back and looked down seeing blue eyes. I went wide eyed in shock at the anger in them we were in that position for a couple moments as I coughed and my eyes felt watery and I wiped them and looked down at him. "you can get off of me you know" he said annoyed I jumped up and he stood up with a cane sitting beside him and he picked it up and slid it into his belt loop. He adjusted his cap and I stuck mine on my head and turned away from him looking annoyed.
"thank you for that" I said eyeing him from the corner of my eye and he nodded a bit.
"ise spot conlon" he said I nodded and ignored his outstretched hand.
"Amber " I muttered annoyed adjusting my off white shirt and over shirt that is plaid and green.
"nice ta meet youse…now…ise got ta go…papes ta sell" he said walking off but he stopped and turned around and reached toward me I looked at him annoyed and he took a chunk of dirt off my shirt and flicked it away.
"thanks" I grunted walking off and headed around again I was pretty much doing that and trying to figure out what to do with my life and I soon found myself on the docks and I sat down as the moon rose higher and higher I took out a smoke and lit it shaking the match out and I licked my thumb and pointer finger and made sure it was fully out before smoking.
"youse know…its not good feh a goil likes youseself to be sittin heah alone" I heard a voice say I didn't look at the person knowing who it was already.
"go away…" I muttered annoyed arms resting on my knees I heard him sit beside me.
"you know dollface youse is an odd goil" he stated I snorted and flicked ash down.
"I know" I said looking at him "I just…I just want to dance…" I whispered he looked at me confused at the change of topics.
"wait…what?" he asked confused I snorted in a very unlady like manner and I smirked a bit.
"I dance…it always helps me to think…but since theres no music theres no sense in doing it otherwise" I said slowly "dancing is in my blood…ugh sorry I am rambling about stuff you don't care about you don't even know me…" I said lighting another smoke and looked out at the water.
"your weird" he said shaking his head
"shouldn't you be sleeping so you can sell tomorrow?" I asked confused he shrugged
"eh…youse more interestin'" he said smirking I shoved him and stood up smoke in my mouth and I dusted myself off.
"yeah well I have to find an alley to sleep in and find a job so see ya" I said turning and walking off hands in my pockets.
"wait.." he said I stopped and pivoted on my toes and looked at him taking a drag.
"what?" I asked annoyed "I have to go" I said annoyed at him more then ever he wasn't like in the movies…or was he only like that in front of his newsies?
"stay heah…come on I will pay the 3 cents for the first night your papes tomorrow" he said standing arms crossed he looked ethereal in the moonlight would I ever dmit that crappy shit?...no fucking way. I didn't answer right away and he looked at me annoyed "look Ise don't dodis all da time so don't get used to it" he said annoyed.
"fine" I said and he nodded his head towards the lodging house and I followed him inside putting out my smoke just outside the door and followed him inside. I stood there arms corssed over my cheest and I felt someone tap my butt I whirled around and saw a big guy spot did nothing which kind of pissed me off. The guy ran his hands over my chest and I sighed and kicked up with my leg and I was glad I was still in shape and kicked him under the chin knocking him over.
"guys dis heah is ambeh…shes goin ta be a newsie like us" spot started ignoring the whole thing I snorted and turned around. "I dink she desoives respect and ise gues she is kind of tough…treat her right..and show heh da ropes.." spot said I snorted again and spot lit a smoke and I did the same and ignored everyone. "ambeh dis heah is lark, and cat…two udder goil newsies as ya can see I don't take in any whimps" spot said I nodded and lark was very pretty brown hair green eyes tannish skin and a nice stocky build, cat was lithe and of asian descent with her hair like larks to her chest. Both have caps and plaid pants, suspenders and a shirt I nodded at them and they nodded back.
"come wid us" lark said I nodded and followed her upstairs smoking and watching the guys watch us closely. After we were out of eyes reach I heard voices rise in confusion. I couldn't help but sigh a bit and stood in the bunk room the girls looked at me and then my clothes then my cig. "dat yer only paeh of clothes?"
"yeah it is…I left so suddenly and only brought this and my smokes" I said looking them in the eyes they didn't ask any more questions and nodded handing me a pair of clothes one from each of them. "thank you" I said smiling at them they sighed and shook their heads.
"youse ned ta loose da hoity toity woids.." lark said and cat nodded and they sat me down teaching me the lingo of this age and I caught on quick.
