Since we weren't your run of the mill orphans we decided we had to make an entrance. An entrance that would be remembered. Mix came up with the bright idea to dress up as monsters and run through the lodging house in the middle of the night. Since we all were just as crazy as Mix was, we were happy to consent to her suggestion. We searched alleys and trash cans for the "perfect" costume. When we were finally through with our search, we all were clad in a box, food in our hair, and dirt all over our bodies.
"If I do say so myself, we are pretty scarey looking." I said sarcasticaly
"No scarier then usual" Illusion replied
"Who you calling ugly?" Bitter asked challengingly
"No one," She said "Other then you." She added under her breath
"I heard that." Bitter cried leaping and tackling Illusion. Lucky for her Gypsy was right by her side and pulled Bitter off of her.
"Hey, hey calm down, no fighting you two." I said pointing to the two girls.
"Yes mom" Bitter retorted sarcastically
We made our way to the Lodging house, some how we knew where we were going, Storm always had the best sense of directions. When we got there, few lights were still lit.
Perfect I thought, no one is awake, we hardly will be recognized by anyone. Everyone was having the same thoughts. Storm gave a little chuckle and we climbed our way up the fire escape and into the bathroom. We hid in the stalls until we heard the last person climb into bed.
"On the count of three.." Mix said
"One."
"Two."
"Three." On three we ran out of the stalls and through the bunk room, screaming and hollering, we would have appeared insane had you not known us before hand; which fortunate the Newsboys had not. I was caught in the stomach with a swift blow from some type of cane. I grabbed the cane and pulled the person who was attached to it toward me. He looked like he had just fallen asleep. I punched him quickly in the stomach and he released his cane as he bent over to regain his air supply. I took the cane, and peered around the room; I realized that all my friends were in the same predicament as I was.
