Tha next day I wowk up and went to find tom
Anotha kid told me he went outside to tha principal office to see if he can get some free places at the school for some kids (tha lodging house was right next to tha high school)
I never went in to tha school building itself before co's I didn't really knew any one there and didn't really felt like it
And I hate school any ways
I went in it was really warm in there because of tha school's heater
I started walkin in tha halls' to c if I can find tha principals' office It was really quiet and tha halls where really empty has I was walkin by I hoid a bell starts to ring out loud than lots of kids came running out of class lots of them didn't really notice me and some of them where just starring at me probably because I was warring rugged clothes
Passing through them I could hear some kids talkin on the murderer and one of em said it was a snow man
I asked a kid what is tha way to tha principals office and he answered and I started walkin towards he's office
On my way I noticed that 3 guys wearing leather jackets, and some black jeans or leather pans and they where lookin at me and one of them was pointing at me and they all closed there lockers and started walkin towards me.
1 of them was there leader - so it seemed and he whispered some thing to the other 2 guys .
I hoped I could just go pass right by them I was wrong...
Soon has I passed em I felt 2 of them guys garbing me
They started pullin me through tha hall
I could here some otha kids laughing and pointing
They dragged me through tha corridor until they reached a turn which was some how more distanced from the other kids it was empty but I could still c some kids goin across tha hall
They let me go and tha biggest one said
"hey stupid what are you doin here? How come I never saw u here before?"
I said" that none of Ur damn business "
He said "ho really?" I said "yeah now leave me alone or else ..."
He laughed and said "or else what?"
"or else ill soak ya!"
He laughed some more and then totally by surprised he punched me in tha jaw, I fell down on my knees with one head holding my jaw and another on the floor
Then tha otha 2 guys started kickin me in tha ribs
than they stopped and one of em said "is he alive?"
pain fully I tried to get up
and punched the leader right in tha balls has hard has I could he fell down and screamed like alil goil
And then tha other one said "I guess so"- laughing
There leader said "common hold that sob up for me will ya?"
they both grabbed me in my arms and I couldn't get loose
tha leader started hitting me and punching me
Suddenly I hoid this most cutest sweetest, feminine voice I ever hoid, shouting
"Hey what are you doin!!!, let him go !!! "
The leader seemed embarrassed and confused but still answered "why should I?"
and continued punching me , I closed my eyes and just listened
the goil shouted "come on josh!!! Leave him alone!!!!"
he stopped hitting me for a sec and said "Ur lucky kid, common lets go"
they throwed me down on tha floor and I hoid em walk away
the girl sat down on her knees next to me and asked
"are you ok?"
I answered "couldn't b better"
She said - "good thing I came in time to stop them, it could have been allot worse"
I said (while me eyes are still closed ) "what did they want from me any way???"
She said " I don't know what happened to him usually he's really nice but when ever he is next to he's friends he acts like a real jerk "
I opened my eyes and I saw her
She was tha same goil I saw just tha otha day but this time I could really see her , she was amazing !
She was "snow white" and she had a brown dark short hair- not really short but till tha shoulders
She had great eye's and amazing lips she was very beautiful
And when she stepped back and I saw her whole body she was even much more beautiful
She helped me up and smiled at me (tha most cutest smile u can ever think off) and said "hey arrant u tha kid I saw just tha otha day?"
I said "yeah"
She said "good I was afraid u'd freeze to death, why where ya out there in a weather like this any way?"
I told her "just wondering , IM kinda new here" Than I hoid the school bell ring again she smiled at me "are you sure your ok?, I have a history test and I really don't want to b late"
I said "yeah IM ok thanks for comin and stopin these guys " she told me "don't mention it " and started walkin away towards tha main hall.
I staid there leaning against tha wall feeling tha pain and just beein dizzy and amazed from tha beautiful goil
I spitted some blood and wiped it with my hand I smiled to my self and started walkin out side
It was snowing again I took some snow and cleaned my hands and face from the blood and started walkin towards tha lodging house.



~*~

The next day I woke up and immediately ran to tom to pick up some news paper's to make my self some more small money
I tulk a bunch and started walkin towards my usual spot
It was much brighter and warmer today than last day it wasn't raining and the sun was out and there where much more people out on the streets I felt good and lucky today
While waiting for some one to want to get a newspaper I started goin through it.
There wasn't any thing interesting on it, cept I read that there was no lead yet on tha mysterious murderer
I putted tha paper back in tha pile
It tulk me an hour to cell tha remaining news papers and I got some nice tips too - maybe because people saw how I was dressed and thought I might need it.... They thought right
I was now only few more papers away from my ride back to Brooklyn
It was after noon and tha sun was starting to go down and it was "pinkish red" out side I stopped at one of the benches on the way and decided to sit and watch the sun set
Suddenly I felt 2 hands blocking my view and I hoid a girl voice sayin
"Guess who"
I said "I donno who?"
She said "Stacy" she laughed
I smiled and said "hi"
She said "beautiful, ain't it?"

I said "yeah, amazing"
Than there was a small silence for about five mins
Than Stacy said "what's ur name any way?"
I said "spot" - she laughed
"Just spot?"
I said "yeah just spot"
"What's ur real name?"
I smiled "no way IM goin to tell ya I never tell any one!"
Stacy said "0k but u will have to some day"
I said "we'l c "
I didn't knew at that time what exactly I feel about Stacy
But I definitely knew she is one of the most amazing goils I ever seen in my intyre life, I didn't want to make a bad impression by shutin up so I continued:
"How come u where out side in tha cold tha otha day?"
Stacy said " I was at my friend's house - Stacy"
I said: "ain't you Stacy?"
She smiled and said "yeah dummy but she's Stacy too"
I said" ho ok"
Stacy said "and how come you where out side?"
I felt embarrassed but I didn't wanted to lie to her I started liking her more and more, I said" I was hopin to cell some news paper's. ise well emmm... pepa boy "
She laughed "are you nutz?!? At a weather like this?"
I started laughing too "I guess Ur right! pretty stupid"
We both laughed some more
Than I said "it just... I really have to get some money"
She interrupted me and said "hooooooo sorry its just IM already 10 mins late I didn't notice the time my parents must b waiting for me..."
I said "ok than ill catch ya laters?"
Stacy said "say emmm spot do you mind uaaa walkin me home?, ya know with all the killin and stuff that's goin on around my parents must b really worrird"
I smiled and said "yeah sure no problem"
I noticed it was already after sun set and was kinda dark
And it was much colder than before
Has we started walkin I noticed she was alil cold so I offered her my jacket I said" its not much but that all I got"
She said thnx and smiled
I was cold too but I didn't mind, not has long has I knew Stacy is feeling warm and comfortable
While walkin she started "So u where sayin ?"
"I was sayin?"
"yeah, u said u really gotsa get some money "
"ho yeah what about it?"
"why do u need tha money I mean, u can just get adopted or some thing "
I laughed and said" yeah right! And I don't need it any way ise already gots me a family, that's why I need tha money actually ...
I wanna get back to Brooklyn "
Stacy asked "and Ur family is there?"
"yeah sort of"
"what do u mean?"
"I mean that they aren't real family but they are my friends they're like family"
"what is it u do there? "
"sort of the same thing I do here ", I smiled "cept that here IM not in charge of every thing while there I am" , I smiled again
she laughed "sooo u run a gang ?"
I laughed too "I know I know it sounds like it but actually its ain't like that we like offer shelter for kids with problems and we get money by selling news papers . the problem is that well.. there are some otha groups over there too "
Stacy said "sooo Ur just abunch of peeps having fun ha?"
I said "yeah some thing like that"
There was silence for about half tha block
I didn't really wanted to say some thing because I was kinda embarrassed for the first time in my life about who I am and how I live since that girl seemed so special to me it was a weird feeling for me , definitely the first
She started askin me if I like movies and which one is my best and stuff like that
We kept makin some laughs and we chatted on casual stuff until we reached her house
It was a big tow storage house which seamed really nice
She picked her pockets and tulk out a50 dollars bill and said here... go to Brooklyn, newsie boy and she smiled
I pushed her hand away and told her "nope sorry no way, I never take the easy way , and any ways I got enough money any how
Thnx any way stace"
She smiled again and said "soo I guess this is goodbye than "
"yeah I cant wait till ill get on my way I really miss home"
I hope I could c ya laters" - she said
"Me too cya goil"
We both smiled and she started runin down to her house I could hear her parents welcoming her and that they where worrird and than I started walkin
It was all dark and I was feelin great
Not only co's I got to meet this great goil it was allso because I finally had enough money to go back home- to Brooklyn
I started walkin and looked at my old fashioned gold watch I got on my way at Canada, it was the only thing left from me grandpa
After about anotha 10 minuets, I felt some thing really hard hitting me right on my back just next to my right shoulder
I fell on the ground and than I saw it a one meter long wooden baseball bat...
I wasn't surprised at all when I saw that the guy holdin it had a black jacket and leather pans , I didn't c he's face but I didn't need to, I knew only one man wearing some thing like that, josh
This time he was alone but I couldn't do nutin co's I was on the ground
Than he started kickin me and punchin me some more
I tried to get up and I got hit on the head with he's baseball bat and I hoid only "nighty night" than every thing became a blur and I closed my eyes
When I wowk up I had the biggest head ache ever, I didn't know how much time I was passed out, I hardly got up,
at foist it was hard to breath but I got it ok,
after wards I spitted some blood and wiped my lips with my sleeve and spitted some more blood
I started limping towards the lodging house and it really hurt it was very hard after 5 minutes I noticed that some thing is wrong
I putted my hands in side my pockets and swallowed hard
My money all 300 bucks food and travel money I was gathering on my way and my grandpa's watch where missing
I was angry only on the fact I lost the watch I fell down on the side on a pile of soft snow it hurted on my leg but I didn't care
I lied back and relaxed and immediately started to think of a way how to get my watch back...
I lost my contions again and fell asleep
I wowk up I could see there was light out side and that the sun is definitely up I hoid from far some kids talkin and heading my way
I crawled behind abig pile of snow and next to a tree
And waited
While they passed I could hear them talk
It was definitely Stacy
She was so beautiful she was wearing this blue jeans which where big and baggy and a purple shirt
The otha goil was alitle taller and she had a blond-brown hair she was definitely less beauty full than Stacy and she was wearing military style white blue and dark blue pans and a black coat over a white shirt with a strawberry on it
They boath had sweet voices
