"Miss? Miss! Wake up!"
Alyssa groaned and rolled over. She started to sit up but it hurt too badly, so she didn't. Her head ached like crazy, and when she put a hand up to it she winced. She had touched a tender spot, and when she brought her hand down she could see a bit of blood.
"Where am I?" she whispered.
"I'se ain't real sure, prob'ly somewhere in Pennsylvania." She looked up at the boy who had spoken. He had bright blue eyes and sandy-blonde hair, under a dark blue cabby hat. He wore brown pants, suspenders, a dark green shirt, and a brown vest.
"Oh, I remember you," Alyssa said, rocking slightly with the motion of the train, "What happened?"
"Da train stopped real fast and you'se fell an' hit your head."
"How long have I been out?"
"A couple o' hours, prob'ly."
"Oh." Alyssa sat there. She couldn't remember who she was or where she was from. She now remembered everything that had happened, that she had run away from something.. But what?
"Miss?" the boy asked.
"Yes?"
"What's your name? You'se was gonna tell me until."
Alyssa just then realized that she didn't know his name either.
"I don't remember."
His eyes widened, "Do you mean dat you'se got amnesia or sumthin?"
"I don't know." She shrugged, "What's your name?"
"It's Thomas, miss, but everyone calls me Half-Pint."
Alyssa smiled, "Oh, why is that? You don't seem that small."
"Well, for an 11 year old, I am," he shrugged and rolled his eyes, "Me olda' bruddah started callin' me dat, and it kinda stuck."
Alyssa tried to hold back her surprise. 11! He certainly was small for his age. She had thought that he was 9, maybe 10.
After sitting there for a few minutes, lost in their own thoughts, Half- Pint finally spoke up, "So. what are you'se gonna do now?"
Alyssa looked up at him and shrugged, "I don't know. I can't very well go back where I came from, as I don't remember where exactly that was. Nor do I intend to. I ran away in the first place, and there must've been a pretty good reason."
Half-Pint nodded. "Well. you'se could always come to New Yawk wid me, and live in da lodgin' house." He shrugged like it was just an idea.
Alyssa thought about it. "You know, that's not a bad idea. Would there be room at this so called Lodging House?"
He smiled and nodded, "You tink it's a good idea? There'd prob'ly be room, long as you'se don' mind sellin' papes."
"I could probably do that."
"Good! Now. as for a name for you'se."
"Hmm. earlier you said something about an angel? I distinctly remember someone from my childhood calling me that to."
Half-Pint grinned, "Den an Angel you are!"
The newly christened Angel grinned as well.
They spent the rest of the day talking, sleeping, Angel read some stuff out of her books, they planned pranks to play when they got to New York, and just had a good time getting to know each other better.
At about 5:00 in the afternoon, the loudspeaker said, "We are now approximately 2 miles from Manhattan, New York. Those of you planning to get off, please be ready, we need to make it to our next stop on time."
Angel and Half-Pint quickly got all of their few belongings together, and sat laughing at different things, until the train finally slowed to a stop.
The two friends quickly exited the compartment and made their way down the hall. When they stepped off the train, Half-Pint spread his arm out and said, "Angel, welcome to New York."
