Chapter 2: da Bronx
After about 10 minutes of walking they both found a kid selling newspapers, and asked him what city they were in.
"Oh you'se are in da Bronx, in New Yawk." We thanked the kid and kept walking until we found somewhere to stay. I wasn't paying attention to where i was going and bummped into someone and knocked myself and the other person over. I got up and helped the other person up and said i was sorry, and he introduced himself.
"Hi I'se Knight, and whose might you'se be?" refering to me and Austin.
"Well I'm Andrea, and this here is Austin. We aren't from around here, and we are trying to find somewhere to stay."
"Yeah i knew you'se two aint from around here. I'se can tell by youse accents. I might be able to help you find a place to stay though." The boy known as Knight said to us. "but I'se have to check wid me leader foist."
We said okay, and thanks, and followed him deeper into the bronx. We stopped in front of a building about 20 minutes later, and Knight motioned for us to stay outside. After about 5 minutes of waiting a tall buff figure came outside along with Knight.
"Hi I'se Turbo, da leadah of da Bronx newsies. Knight informed me dat youse two need a place ta stay. Is dat true?"
"Yeah, what is this place anyway?" Austin asked.
"Dis heah?" Turbo said, "Is da Bronx newsboys lodging house. Mese, Knights, and about forty uddahs live heah. Ken runs da place dough. Its 2 pennies a night, and da foist night is always free."
"Alright, you said newsboys though? And I'm a girl." Andrea informed Turbo.
"Yeah ise know and ise wouldn't have invited youse two if wese didn't have a place for goils. We have four goils heah. Atari, Balance, Paris, and Dazzlah. They'se been heah for about 4 yeahs now. They'se real sweet goils, im sure yous'ell like em." Turbo said to Andrea.
She said thank you and Andrea and Austin followed him into the Lodging House. There were only a few people in the house when they came in, but the people that were there stared at them blankly. They walked up into the girls bunkroom and Knight ushered Andrea in.
"Hey Knight, whose this?" A newsie that looked to be 18 and who had Black hair and brown eyes said to him.
"This heah is our newest newsie, along with her friend, Austin." Knight introduced her to the other girl.
"Does Dazzlah know about dis'? The girl asked.
"not yet, she hasn't been back yet." Knight said.
"well okay I'se Atari. Its nice ta meetcha. Da uddah goils should be coming in soon, Ise wasn't feelin to well taday so I didn't sell. Ya want me ta teach ya how ta sell tomorrow?" She asked her.
"Yeah, sure that would be great." Andrea said to her.
