The next morning started normal. The youngest boys were the ones who had the responsibility of waking up the older boys. Preacher who normally woke up Spot had a small conniption fit when he saw Cards sleeping next to Spot.
"AHHHHH!!!" Was the innocent brown haired boys remark as he successfully woke up both Cards Spot and the rest of the Lodging house.
"Wha?" Cards asked rubbing her head where she had unceremoniously slammed it against the bunk above Spot's. To Preacher's glee she was in a shirt.
"You him, not Married..." Preacher babbled incoherently.
"Shut up Preacher." Spot said getting out of bed and missing hitting his head on a bunk with a practiced ease.
"Don't hurt ya pretty little head on that thought." Cards said patting him condescendingly.
"So, she isn't as high and mighty in the morning." Fist glared at the girl. "Spot ya gunna stick wid her?"
"Dunno." Spot said honestly. Cards face did not betray her thoughts as she worried about her standing in Spot's eyes. "I think I need a little more time." He watched the guys go into the showers. "We gotta talk."
"Talk away." Cards said looking up at Spot as she moved out of the bed.
"Ya gotta sell in Manhattan for a while." He said plainly.
"I've been sellen here for my whole life!" Cards looked outraged.
"I'm gunna get ya a bettah spot." Spot said. "Ya a member of my gang now an' all a ya get good spots. Its one of da reason's so many kids wanna be in dis lodgen house."
Cards was now thanking her luck not only had the guy not left her in some alley last night but he was gunna get her a spot that was half decent. Not that her old spot behind the fisheries wasn't pleasant, hell anything was better then that. "But why da I have ta go ta Manhattan?"
"Because I'se got a friend dere who'll show ya da ropes."
"I know da ropes Spot."
"I wanna make sure ya do." Spot ended the matter. "An' there's a few goils der so dey might be able ta help ya on how ta live in a lodgen house. The distribution center is in Newsie Square ask foir Tigah."
"Fine." Cards said walking off to the showers.
By the time Cards was done in the shower most of the guys had left and those who were waiting for her to come out naked were sorely disappointed. She had put on her cloths from yesterday after drying her self off.
"Carr'n da bannah!" A bunch of boys yelled as they left congratulating them selves on what ever it is ten year olds congratulate them selves on. Spot had already left and Cards started the walk to the bridge, which was thankfully close to the lodging house. The walk to the Distribution Center was a little longer and Cards was wishing for breakfast something fierce as she reached a bunch of Nun's who were handing out food she took it gratefully, not caring that as she ate they preached at her.
Cards got to Newsie square as the gates opened she looked around for a girl and saw a short girl with red hair who was kissing a blonde boy with an eye patch. Cards tapped the girl on the shoulder. "Ya know where I could find a goil named Tigah?"
"Ya looken at me."
"Spot sent me here."
"Ohh he taken a fancy to ya?"
"Nah, wants me ta loin da ropes."
"How old are ya?"
"Near 16."
"Too old ta lern da ropes, just go back and wait foir him ta finish sellen."
"I've been selling since I was 6." Cards said interrupting her. "He wants me ta ask ya about liven wid all da guys and for anuddar reason I don't really know."
"Fine, lets get some Papes." Tiger said the blonde boy leading her to the window.

Cards On:
Freshmen-
Annoying, really I have nothing against the fact that they are younger then me but only that they are trying to act all old and so they swear every other second. It annoys the hell out of me. Here I am one of those sophisticated Sophomores and I watch Newsies and anything that has the newsies in it...
