Ok. It's been like a lifetime and then some since I have posted anything. I have no time to write anymore:( Well anyway this is just something that I just threw together. All I can promise is that of course it will be a romance, but I will try my hardest to make it unique! Tell me what you think and if I should continue!

Disclaimer: as always, i don't own the Newsies (tear) any other characters that i write are a figment of my imagination, but if you really like them that much feel free to use them in any of your stories

Stuck in the Middle
Another Cold Day in NY

"Hope."

I woke to an incessant poking in my side. "Urgh! Go away!"

"Hope." I rolled over, turning my back to whoever dared to be disturbing my slumber. "Hope! Get up!"

I slowly sat up. "OK, enough with the yelling. I'm awake."

Specs, Dutchy and a small group of young newsies were staring down at me. When they saw that I was indeed conscious, the crowd disbanded, leaving only Specs sitting on a neighboring bunk. "Rise and shine!" he kidded "You sellin with us today or heading back to Midtown?"

I groaned and dropped back onto my pillow. "Neither. It's too cold out to do anything," I whined, pulling the blankets over my head.

"Its December in New York hope, what do you expect?" He pulled off the blankets. The shirt and trousers that I had worn to bed did little to block out the cold without the warmth of my blanket.

Giving up, I climbed out of the bed and headed for the washroom. I got ready quickly, knowing full well that the boys would leave without me if I wasn't ready soon. My caramel brown hair that I wished to leave down to keep my ears warm had to be pulled back into a tight braid and tucked under my newsie hat. In a world where women were better suited for housework or in the factories, a female newsie wasn't looked upon in the brightest light.

As I ran out the bunkroom door to catch the boys, I grabbed an old winter coat that Jack had outgrown and given me. The brash cold of the New York winter stung my face as I opened the door.

It was going to be a very long day.



More to come if you want it, all you have to do is say the word! hopefully i will get the chance to post again soon (althouh i have to write it first maybe huh)
