A/N: Here's one of the chapters I promised to put up.
Chapter 6
"Looking for dis?" That hated voice smirked.
"Give it ta me Spot." He held it just out of her reach. "Go away and leave me alone."
"What? No 'Happy ta see ya Spot'?" He laughed. "I feel loved."
The waitress came and Raven ordered. Spot sat down next to her and also ordered. She sighed "What do ya want?"
"I'se hoit. I have ta want something ta talk ta ya?"
"I've been in Brooklyn for over 5 years. Ya couldn't have talked ta me den?"
"I didn't know youse was in Brooklyn."
"No, you didn't want to know. Ya knew dere was a lone newsie in Brooklyn. Your boys told ya. Dey thought I was a boy, ya I'll give ya dat, but dey told ya."
"How are ya so sure of youseself?" He still sounded cocky.
"Let's start wit ya woids. 'Goils can't be newsies. Can ya imagine Katie selling me papes?' Ya boy and ya started laughing and den came one guy who told ya bout da newsie I soaked. I wanted to see ya's reaction so I followed that newsie so I could hear what ya said. 'Who did it' ya asked, and the boy told ya about me. Am I wrong?" He started to speak but she cut him off. "I'se not wrong, youse are. Goils can sell." She grabbed her slingshot out of his hand, took the food that the waitress brought and walked out before he could say a word.
Stalking down the street, she ate as she walked. After she finished she got more papes. Raven had planned on not selling any tonight but her "incident" at the racetrack had lost her some money.
She ran around selling for a couple more hours. Her leg was throbbing horribly. She could feel the bruise that she was sure was there. Stopping for a minute to take a break, she suddenly felt dizzy and nearly collapsed.
"Youse should stop selling and go back ta da lodging house." A voice came from a couple feet over.
"Why can't you leave me alone?"
"Ya act like I'se da bad poison here. Youse acting like youse better den me, acting like some bitch when it was me who kept youse from dat lovely view of da racetrack ---," He tried to keep going but she interrupted.
"You think it was on poipose? I'se clumsy but not dat bad. Some rich hoity-toity poison shoved me."
"Youse coulda said 'Thank ya Spot'. Instead you spit in my face."
"I didn't want your help."
"You seemed happy enough wit it."
"SEEMED. WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TA SAY? THANK YOU SPOT. Are you happy now?"
"Ya have a horrible temper ya know dat?"
With a growl, she stalked away again for the second time that day. She barely finshed selling before darkness settled, by the time she was done she was limping. Raven walked into the bunkroom and collapsed on her bunk.
A/N: Sorry this is kind of short it just felt like the best place to end it. The next chapter I'll try and make longer. She just seems to keep running into him huh? Thanks again to all my reviewers. To all the new readers: plz, plz, plz, review. I want to know what you think.
