"I can't believe this."

"Complete bullshit."

"Not fair at all."

The girls all voiced thier opinions about thier trip to Brooklyn. The girls were newsies from the Bronx. Their leader, Dodger, didn't think the Bronx was a safe place for them to stay after the last fight between Five Points and his boys, but for Dodger to the girls to Brooklyn for Spot Conlons protection? Fortunatally for me, Jack, Manhattan leaders, thought Manhattan was safe enough. They hated taking orders from Dodger, let alone Spot. I know he's really good looking though. And I heard hes great in bed. Might not be so bad after all. I've known most of the newsies for years, and have been friends with them. But meeting Spot Conlon? Whole nother adventure.

I'm better known as Luxe, on account of the Luxe hall in Manhattan where me and some other girl newsies stay. With me and going in temporary exile are Gleam, Lips, and Ivy. Gleam, tall with dark curly hair with matching dark eyes, Lips the blonde haired blue eyed cliche we all know and love, and Ivy with her brown tangled hair and hazel eyes. My own looks are dark brown hair and green eyes. Not to sound to conceited, but we're the most beautiful girls you will ever meet in New York. It's a fact. We're known by all the newsies and low life boys of New York. It's kinda nice. Lips is from Manhattan with me. We were taking the other girls to Brooklyn.

We made it to the Brooklyn pier, where all the Brooklynites are after selling. They were naked except for the boxers they all wore swimming. Brooklyn wasn't so bad so far. They whistled at us as we made our way to Spot. My girls put on thier charms and winked, smiled and waved at the boys.

Spot was sitting in all his glory on a crate. Damn, the rumours were true. The small, but muscled body. The gorgeous face and dirty blonde hair. And most of all those penetrating grey eyes. I melted on the spot. Mabye thats how he got his name. I'll have to ask him.

He smirked at us.

"Well ladies, so glad to have youse in Brooklyn. Long time and no see. Me and the boys were very pleased to find out youse be staying heah."

"I'm sure you were." Lips said to him. He winked at her.

He eyed me up and down. The look of lust in his eyes didn't go unnoticed by me. It quickly faded as he talked to me.

"So why havn't ya been ta see me Luxe? To much for ya? Heard you was from Brooklyn." This earned a laugh from his boys. I wasn't about to let him get away with that. I"m the bitch of New York. Noone fucks with me. Least of all this jerk.

"Yes. And to get somethings straight, i'm not used to taking orders from anyone, let alone by you."

Instead of looking angry, like I hoped he would, he smiled.

"Sweetheart, flattery won't get you anywhere."

Ivy rolled her eyes. "Living heah ain't gonna be easy."

Gleam piped in. "You know what is easy though? You!!"

All the girls, including me bursted out laughing. Ivy started play hitting Gleam. The boys just shook thier head. I could hear Spot mutter to himself, "What did I get meself into?"

I laughed at the expression on his face. "A whole lot of shit, Conlon."

" Theys gonna like Brooklyn."

"I'm sure they will. See you around."

With that Lips and I made our way back to Manhattan.
