If Only It Could Be Easier
Chapter Two
Names' Spot
Jack just woke up the very next day, the boys were rushing everywhere trying to find their clothes, toothbrushes, and try to get ready for the new day ahead. Whistling and singing once Jack is dressed he walks outside and breathes in fresh air of the crisp morning.
"Ahhhhhh!" threw his arms up into the air in the middle square in Manhattan.
"Cowboy, so how'se it goin?" said a boy we all know as Racetrack his right hand man and next to him were Kid Blink and Mush.
"It goes aliiiight!"
The boys went to the D.O. to pick up their papes and start off their day. Boys in line ordering the amount of papes that they had wanted he teased Weasel like usual and talked to his gang before setting out.
(A/N: In case you didn't know Spot Conlon and his gang came over the bridge everyday or vice versus to hang with Jack since the strike they had become best of friends. They both trusted one another very much. So everyday after they were done selling the papes in the morning Spot would come over to hang out. FOR LATER)
Arista woke up that morning in her new pajamas her aunt had bought for her in her big canopy bed. Today was when she would try to go out and see the city. After eating breakfast at the table silently with her aunt and uncle she went out to walk the route to her dance academy at her uncle's request to make sure she knew exactly where she was going. So she got dressed in a simple blue dress just plain nothing fancy and kissed her aunt and uncle goodbye promising to be back for lunch.
It was a warm day on the streets of Manhattan and Arista loved to walk and she found herself having to travel a great distance. She was memorized by her surroundings having being born and raised in the country she thought she'd never see herself living in the city. Walking on the sidewalk she turned a corner rather quickly and found herself being thrown back to the hard cement floor.
"Owww. watch weres youse." The boy stopped talking and looked straight at me he was really cute and I almost had a heart attack. "Sorry I was just turning the corner and didn't see you." I said looking up at the boy with his hand out reached towards me. He had dirty blonde hair and blue-green sparkling eyes. I took it and he helped me to my feet.
"Ma fault. Sorry ise thought youse were maybe one of the guys."
"Oh well thank you for helping me up." She ran off still hearing his voice in the distance.
"Names Spot hope to get yours sumtime!" he called after her. Kinda cute he thought. Nice legs of a runner or some kind of athletic got soft hands too.
Spot was walking towards town it had been after the papes rush in the morning in Brooklyn and he had already sold his hundred papes. Nearing the square he saw a familiar red bandana and cowboy hat.
"Ey' Jacky Boy!"
"Ey' Spot howse life treatin ya?"
"Pretty good."
"Lookin a little flushed there Spot.Meet Medda on your way here or sumtin?"
"Nah just some goil kinda cute."
"Ain't they all Spot. Ain't they all."
"How many papes today Jack?"
"Sold me hundred fer today. Howse about we go out on the town today?"
"Sounds good der Jacky boy no track ok I needs ta be savin ma money."
"Ok it's a deal."
The two boys went all around New York the entire day. From city to city meeting other newsies and leaders like themselves. Catching a bite to eat at each city. It was dark out so they went their separate ways.
"Jacky howse about we sell then meet in da square again tomorrow heard there is going to be some racing out in da riva?"
"Sounds great meet ya tomorrow den Spot."
Arista walked her route to her new dance school, Madame Elise in the middle square of Manhattan. She saw the sign that said "All New Dancers! We start at 12 noon tomorrow Don't Be Late!" She looked up at the big clock in the square and saw that it was 11:45 and she had to run back before she got her uncle mad. Arriving just in time at the front door her Uncle was outside smoking a cigarette.
"Aristalyn, go inside where your Aunt has fixed your meal."
"Yes Uncle Edward," she said in a whisper.
For the rest of the day she spent writing letters to her family with her new stationary. Then she found some books on her bookshelf one being Jane Eyre her favorite. So she got half way through it when it was time for dinner. Sitting at the table in silence while she ate her salad and pasta, While Margaret was making conversation. "What have you been doing in your room all day Arista?"
"Reading one of the books you put on the bookshelf, a favorite of mine, Jane Eyre."
"Books are good for expanding the mind more children need to read now a days." Said Edward with a smug look on his face.
"Yes they do Uncle Edward." And Arista ended the conversation knowing where Uncle Edward would take it.
Her and Margaret sat on the balcony overlooking the streets of Manhattan. Arista was looking at the children playing in the streets and thought of her sister. Then she saw a familiar face the boy who had bumped into her earlier that day walking in the direction of the Brooklyn bridge, must be from Brooklyn she thought. Arista and her aunt had some home made ice cream then she sent her off to bed.
