Too Far

Friends, Papes, Boys, Medda, Dangers, and at the back of my head, mother and father. Wait, I thought I've been walking for a while and have no clue where I'm at. I looked to the left water, right water, bridge, Brooklyn, I'm on the Brooklyn Bridge! I knew the dangers in Brooklyn, I thought Spot. Spot was big when I first moved here. Something about a strike. I'm not so sure. I know all the newsies from everywhere came to the Irving Hall last year, the bulls came it was a big riot. I did catch a glimpse of the boys though. When I looked up I felt as if I had eyes on me, looking, watching my every move. I just wanted to escape, so I kept walking. I finally realized I was walking on a deck when I looked up I saw ropes and boxes. Looked like something a child would play on. I reached the end of the dock and sat at the edge. I looked at the water, thinking, not on anything particular just thinking. I heard a quick creak and a snap. I suddenly turned around, nothing. Hallucinating I thought. I'm going crazy.

*CCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAKKK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK*

I turned around and stood "I'm not afraid to soak ya, get your squirmy asses out her' " When I turned around and looked back Spot and his crew all lined up.

"'Eya Spot!" He didn't know me but he was about to

"You are.." Spot looked confused

"Sophie Gold" With a smile on my face

"Why do you think you cans snoop around me territory for? Spot questioned

"What a goil can't be curious? I bet you were a curious youngster." I walked over and leaned on some boxes fiddling with my nails.

"Wh… Wait who'se are youse?" Spot was confused. I got him.

"Like I said I said... I'm Sophie Gold, some people call me Soph don't really matter with me. I'm Medda's niece." I smiled and now every slingshot was pointed toward me fully loaded.

"Shoot her." Spot commanded every slingshot ready to shoot.

I stopped 'em. "Why'se you gonna shoot little ol' me?" Spot didn't know what to do and I knew that. "Mmm. Medda won't like youse. No more shows for you guys. Thanks for makin' it simple to what you want." I answered "..and to think she loved her Brooklyn newsies the most." I lied.

Boos and screams were heard from the crowd. "Oh well." I said and started walking away

"Wait…" Spot said, I smiled. "Why'se youse doin' this to me boys?"

"Me? I'm not doin' a thing!"

"Ok, Sophie, Soph where you from" Spot tried me

"'Eh all over really. Right now I'm at the Irving Hall. Youse?" Looking at all the boys circling Spot

"You know Santa Fe." He said sarcastically, he started circling me

I chuckled a little. "Smart Spotty boy, I like that. He can't have no dumb nuts now can we?"

"Nah, we can't." Spot's crew started doing their own thing now. Just me and Spot. I got up and looked around.

"So what's Brooklyn like?" I had interest in him. I hope he took the bait

"Lots, let me show ya."

Gotcha.
