"My God! Will they ever stop?" Summer cried angrily. She was with Lizzie, walking ahead of their parents.

"What's wrong?" Lizzie asked. She wasn't very concerned as Summer was always angry about one thing or another.

"George asked me out. Again. They can't just get over the fact that I'm not interested! The only good thing about going to Miss Barrington's School For Young Ladies is that there are no boys." Summer replied angrily.

"Boys love Summer, but Summer is very hard on boys." Lizzie said. "Any special reason that you won't go out with any of them? Some of those guys are pretty cute."

"No not really." Summer replied, looking away.

"Come on. You've been rejecting guys for two weeks. Since we met Mush and the others. I know you — Race!" Lizzie cried.

"Princess! Sunshine! How ya doin?" Racetrack asked them, striding to the two girls.

"Well, I'm fine. But don't know about Summer here. For some reason she won't go out with any of the boys at school." Lizzie said grinning.

"Maybe she's waitin for someone special to ask." Race said, grinning.

"Yeah. That's it. I'm just waiting. Oh, crap. Our parents are coming. Quick, sell me a pape." Summer said quickly.

"Sure. That'll be one cent, miss. Thank ya and have a good day." Race winked at the two girls after putting the quarter in his pocket. He strolled away, yelling some more headlines.

"Anything interesting in the paper today?" Lizzie's father asked.

"Um. Well it looks like Teddy Roosevelt is thinking about running for president during the next election." Summer said, scanning the headline. "Would you like to read it?" she asked, handing the paper over to Mr. Dejelo. The two girls hurried on ahead.

"Okay. So you are waiting for someone to ask you out, right? Who is it? Is it —" Lizzie began, but Summer put her hand over Lizzie's mouth.

"Shh. I don't want anyone to know. In fact, even I'm not sure. I'll tell you when I am." She explained.

"Hey, Princess, Sunshine. Brooklyn's havin a party. Next Saturday, starting at 10. Are ya coming?" Race called at the two girls.

"Sure! We won't miss it." Lizzie answered for both of them.

"Great! See ya then."

"Thanks for deciding for me." Summer said sarcastically.

"Come on. You know you want to go. Do you have plans with Pulitzer or something?" Lizzie teased. She knew she hit a nerve.

"No! But why does it have to be in Brooklyn?" Summer cried.

"Because. Are you afraid of seeing your love?" she mocked.

"He's not my love. Okay. Just stop that." Summer said, looking away.

The next Saturday, Lizzie was in Summer's bedroom, getting dressed. As the party would last all night, they had solved the problem easily. Summer had told her parents that she would be sleeping over Lizzie's and Lizzie said that she'd be at Summer's. Since the two girls were almost never apart, neither of their parents bothered to make sure.

"Can you help me? I can't get it buttoned right." Summer complained. She was wearing one of her plaid skirts from school and a pink blouse. Her stockings came up to her knees. Lizzie was wearing a sleeveless, blue summer dress.

"Hold on. Okay. There you go. Come on, it's 9:30 already. It'll take a while to get to Brooklyn." Lizzie said, sneaking out of the fire escape. It was 10:05 when the two girls made it to Brooklyn. As they stepped in, Lizzie and Summer where showered with greetings.

"Princess!" Race shouted, picking Summer up and twirling her. She laughed and hugged Racetrack.

"How are you? I haven't seen you in almost a week." She said as he put her down.

"Fine. But I tink someone missed ya." Race said mischievously. He grinned and put an unlit cigar in his mouth.

"What are you talking about? Who missed me?" she asked, looking around the room. It was jam-packed. Her eyes landed on Spot Conlon. Race followed her gaze.

"Yep. Brooklyn sure missed his Princess." He commented.

"No he didn't. Look, he even got himself a goil." She said.

"Whateva ya say." He said, leaving.

Soon, Spot made his way over to her. A blonde girl followed him.

"Heya, Princess. How ya been? Oh yea… Dis is Angel. Me goil." He said, coming up to her.

"I'm Angel." The girl said, holding out her hand. Summer shook it, taking in the girl. She was taller than her (who wasn't?). She was a blonde with huge breasts. Yep. Sounds like Spot's girl. She thought. Suddenly, Summer grinned.

"Well, I'll be around, sweetie. I'll miss ya." She flirted, hugging Spot. He looked so lost and confused that Summer almost laughed. As she left, Summer looked at Angel. The girl looked livid. Summer giggled and went up to Lizzie and Mush.

"Looked like you were getting cozy wit Brooklyn." Mush commented.

"It did? Good. See that blonde bimbo? That's Angel… Spot's girlfriend. She's as confused as ant and in NYC." Summer replied.

"Good job. She was getting annoying. Now go find yourself a guy…" Lizzie said.

"Fine. I'll leave you two alone. Bye." Summer laughed to see her friend and Mush blushing.

"Hey Jack. What's new?" she went up to the tall boy.

"Princess! I didn't see ya there. What? Oh, good. You?" he asked.

"I'm fine. Well, see ya around." Summer noticed murmurs all around the room. She could only guess what they were about.

She went back to Lizzie. "Um, Liz. I'm going outside for a little while. Be back soon." She said, going out the back door.

Summer found her way to the docks that were near the Brooklyn Lodging House. She stood at the edge, looking at the sky.

"Well, Miss Priss is goin down!" a triumphant voice cried. Summer felt hands push her down. She fell straight into the harbor.

"AHH! Help!!" she cried. Even though she could swim, Summer was weighed down by her shoes.

The voice laughed again. "No one's gonna hear you. Summer's going by —" the voice started but was quickly interrupted. Summer heard a thump. Then, Summer had lost her strength and started slowly going down. She dimly felt something jump in after her.
