Kelly mustered up all the courage she could and asked a girl also with a cowboy hat on what you had to do to become a newsie. "Hi I'm Bobbie" Kelly said. Now horribly mad at herself, not for giving out a fake name, but for giving out a fake boy's name.
"I'm Sunshine," The girl replied. Not laughing or snickering at Kelly fake boy's name. "What do you need?" Sunshine asked. Not in a mean tone, it was more of a 'get things done'
tone.
"I was wondering what you had to do to become a newsie." Kelly/Bobbie asked,
"Buy papes and sell them I guess. It's really not a hard process." Sunshine said with a smirk.
"How many papes do I have to buy to make two dollars? And how much is that?"
Kelly/Bobbie asked slightly embarrassed.
"200 papes and one dollar, but I wouldn't do all that today. Especially because Jack only bought one hundred and you can't buy more than Jack, it's like an unspoken rule."
"A dollar?" Bobbie asked
Authors note: Kelly from this point on is now known
as Bobbie because it was getting to hard to type both:)
"Yeah," Sunshine said beginning to get a little fed up all the questions
"O.k. thanks" Bobbie said, as she walked back over near the statue. The job was perfect; selling newspapers anyone could do that. Now all she needed was a dollar. And if she did find a dollar wouldn't she keep looking until she found another one instead of investing it in newspapers? "Back to square one, how am I going to find two dollars?" She thought putting selling newspapers totally out of her mind "I should just go jump off a bridge or a building, it's more public. Yeah, more public then maybe that smug newsboy would see and then he would say 'Oh, Kelly I'm so sorry I'..." Her thought were totally distracted when she saw a penny shining under the bars where the water was supposed to go when it rains. She jumped down and squeezed her hand between the bars and grabbed the penny and held it in the air and looked up at it smiling while "I've Got a Golden Ticket" played in the background.
Authors note: From Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
I know, I know kinda stupid but I couldn't
resist. From now fewer authors note's I promise.
She was so happy about finding that penny that totally forgot about her dept to Jeromy the Jerk and was on her way to the race tracks to see if any younger boys would bet a penny when she ran straight into Sunshine.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Bobbie spit out before even looking at a person.
"Umm, yeah that's o.k." Sunshine replied picking up all of her papers and the change that dropped out of her pocket.
"Here let me help you with that." Bobbie said picking up some papers and giving them back to Sunshine.
"What do you think you are doing? You don't get a penny for helping me pick up the papes you made me drop!" Sunshine yelled, as Bobbie picked up the penny she had just found, and put in her pocket.
"No this is mine I just found it." Bobbie said calmly
"Yeah, you just found it, right here near the rest of my change! You probably ran into me on purpose on had this planed all along!"
"No, this is mine I found it in the gutter over there. I swear." Bobbie yelled in protest. Naturally this attracted a lot of people, and all of Sunshine's newsie friends came over.
"What's happening here Sunshine?" A boy with curly brown hair asked.
"This girl, Bobbie, is trying to steal a penny from me. And I need that to eat lunch today."
She said in a completely whiny voice.
"O.k. Sunny cool down. What do you think is happening here?" He asked directing the question to Bobbie. So she stood up and said,
"I accidentally bumped into her and dropped the penny I just found and I was picking it up when she went into this huge 'your stealing from me' spill. All I want is my penny and I will leave." Bobbie finished looking straight into this, curly haired, boys eyes challengingly.
"Sunshine do you know how much money you should have?" The boy asked her. She looked up, nodded, and pulled out all of her change and began counting. When she was finished she looked up a said,
"I'm missing one cent. I told you Mush she's trying to steal from me."
Bobbie couldn't take it anymore. "Screw this, you can have my penny. I just want to let you know that there are some many better ways to make money than stealing, and I know that. When you find you're penny I hope you can't sleep knowing that some girl is going to get the crap beaten out of her because she can't repay her two dollar dept to a guy who also happens to be a newsie I guess all newsies are jerks." Bobbie said, as she threw the penny as hard as she could into Sunshine's lap. She turned around and walked right out of the little crowd that had
formed and headed towards the dock, penniless.
I hope you liked it. Sunshines not always so mean. the next chapter she'll be nicer i promise. please R&R.
