Hey it's Fists. The newsies all belong to Disney. Any characters you don't recognize belong to me. I'm not making any sort of a profit off of this story so please don't sue me. Thanks!
The Delanceys' Sister
"Go away Oscar! Jus' leave me
alone!" I screamed at my twin brother.
My life was
miserable. I lived with my two brothers, Oscar and Morris, and my
Uncle. My brothers were constantly picking on me and beating me
up. The one thing that gave me hope was that I was 16 and in just
a year and a half I would be able to get out of this hellhole.
"C'mon on Michelle jus' tell me who it was," he barked
pinning me against the wall.
He was referring to the newsie who
had a thrown tomato at him when he was coming home. I had seen
him through the window and I knew who he was but I wasn't about
to tell Oscar the guys name. To tell you the truth I thought it
was pretty funny.
"Oscar I saw 'im but I don't know who 'e
wus," I lied through my teeth.
My brother stared at me hard
for a moment before he slapped me. I wasn't expecting it and I
screamed involuntarily. He laughed and punched me in my stomach.
He was about to punch me again but I was faster and hooked kicked
him, bringing him to the floor. Then I ran faster than I had ever
run before out of the apartment and down the street. I was so
caught up in making sure Oscar wasn't following me that I didn't
notice the newsboy until it was too late. I ran straight into
him and fell to the ground. As I looked up I realized that the
boy I had run into was the same one that had thrown the rotten
tomato at Oscar. He was very good looking to say the least, but
then all the newsies were good looking.
"Youse okay?"
he asked, seeming concerned.
I nodded and took the hand he
offered. He helped me stand up and I brushed myself off.
"I'se Kid Blink pleased ta meet ya," he said sticking
his hand out to shake.
I was disappointed when he didn't spit in
it. "Jus' cawl me Cel," I said grinning as I spit in my
hand and shook his.
He looked shocked that a girl would
spit-shake but I didn't care. I'd always wanted to try my hand at
bein' a newsie and now just might be my chance.
"What wus ya
runnin' from? if ya doan mind me askin'?" he asked.
"Me broddah" He looked confused
but didn't ask me about it. I was glad he didn't.
"So ya got
a place ta stay?" I looked down embarrassed and shook my
head.
He smiled and put his arm around my shoulder.
"Dat's
great youse cin be a newsie an' stay at da lodgin' house wit us.
Dat is, if ya want to 'a' coise."
I grinned, "Yea
t'anks. I'se always wanned ta be a newsie."
To Be Continued... If you want.
