Hey people, I know its been a few days since the last chapter, but the
reason is I have no ideas for the this one: So I'm going to just write and
see what comes out… hope it turns out good!!!!!!! Also for now Alley is
going to be referred to as Maple, just so you don't get confused!
On with the story…
Maple sold a lot of papes that day. It was around lunchtime that she met up with Spot and LoudMouth at Sven's, the restaurant that looked like Tibby's. She still had a lot of money from her win at the races. Maple sat down in a booth across from LoudMouth, Spot was off somewhere else doing something. As they ordered Base came and sat next to Maple.
"So, Alley how'd ya do taday?" he asked.
" Alley?" Maple asked questioningly. "I'se Maple!"
Base looked at her puzzled and then she whispered in his ear. "Refer to me as Maple now, I'se don' wanna be recognized" she said
Base seemed to understand and left it at that.
"How you'se doin' LoudMouth?" He asked her.
"Good, Sellin' well taday! They'se seem ta be buyin'" she replied. As they ate Spot came over and sat down next to LoudMouth. Maple thought she saw Spot's eyes flicker from normal to hatred and then back again, when he looked at Base, but she wasn't absolutely sure.
"Maple ya wanna sell wit' me the rest of the day?" Base asked.
"Yeah, shoah!" Maple replied
"I'se don' know if that's a good idea" Spot said.
"What?" Alley said. "Not a good idea?"
"I don't see the problem Spot" LoudMouth quietly said
Only Base was the one who was silent.
"No, Maple, It's not a good idea" Spot commanded. "Your sellin' wit me taday"
Maple was surprised, she hadn't seen this side of Spot and shut up instantly. So there actually was a reason Spot was leader. The rest of lunch they ate in silence. Base got up in the middle of it and walked off. Maple was mad, what was wrong with Spot, why did he have to ruin all her fun. When she finished she picked up her stuff and headed out the door of Sven's. She was heading straight towards the DO when someone caught her from behind. She barely had any time to turn around before she was shoved against the wall of the building next to them. It was Spot.
"What're ya thinking'?" He screamed. " I told ya your sellin' wit me taday, so don't go walkin' off!"
Maple just stared back at him. She hadn't been ready for this confrontation. After a minute Maple felt him ease up a little on the firmness he had pushed her up to the wall. He let go and walked off alone. LoudMouth was right behind him. Maple did all she could and followed LoudMouth. Maple didn't say anything else to LoudMouth or Spot the rest of the day. She was really fuming. By the time they got back to the Lodging House there were a few boys there. Maple decided to take a shower now, like she had yesterday. She walked into the washroom to change. What she found in there was Grisly and his two friends.
"Maple!! Ya came ta join us!" Grisly said.
Maple rolled her eyes. "Heah, come heah!" she said. Grisly looked back at his two friends and walked to her.
"Wanna shower wit' me?" she asked.
"Why else would I'se be in heah?" he replied.
Maple stared at him and quicker than ever pushed him right out the open door , he tripped and fell into the middle of the bunk room. "Sorry, I don't do that soirta thing" She then looked at his two friends and they both went out without any trouble. Maple took a shower and hoped that the boys wouldn't barge in on her. As the hot water dwindled down, she found a hot one this time, she heard someone else come in the shower room. She waited until they were in their shower before getting out of hers. Maple got dressed and did her hair, she then put on her Newsie cap and was headed out the door when the other person called her name.
"Alley!" LoudMouth called.
"Yeah, whadda ya want?" Maple asked, She still wasn't on best terms with her.
"I liked what ya did ta get Grisly outta the shower room, I saw ya, he wasn't suspecting" she said as she laughed.
Maple laughed with her and waited so she could get dressed. They then went into Spot's room and sat down to talk.
Hey!! Good one huh? I didn't even plan this one out, I usually do. Well not as exciting but hey, no cliffhanger makes EVERYONE happy!
