UNFORGETTABLES Chapter One
Lindi groaned and yawned as the light filtering in from the windo roused her. Grumbling, she rolled out of bed and began brushing her long, straight, light-brown hair. When her hair was brushed and pulled back into her customary ponytail, she looked around the room. She was always the first one up and the first one ready. She grinned as she saw Petals asleep on her bed, a picture of Racetrack Higgins on her pillow.she just couldn't resist! Slowly, quietly, she crept over to petals bunk. Just as she was about to (in her opinion) not-so-rudely awaken Petals, one eye sleepily opened, ruining the ambush. "Aaaw, man! Petals, why'd ya hafta wake up?" Lindi complained. Petals yawned, rubbing her eyes as she set the picture of Race on her nightstand. "Dat's normally a good ting to wake up I mean. Besides, I'se gotta go sell my papes," she sleepily explained. At this, the two just burst into uncontrollable giggles. "Okay! Okay!" Lindi breathed as she tried to suppress her laughter. "We'se gots ta get ya ready real quick so we're not late ta get Manders. Plus, we don't wants ta keep Spottie-boy waitin'." Spot Conlon, the Brooklyn newsies leader, always arrived at the girls' lodging house in Brooklyn, to walk them to the Manhattan lodging house to pick up the rest of the gang. Among them was Manders, Lindi and Petals's best friend. She was one of the only girl newsies, the only one in manhattan, so she just lived in her own room in the Boys's Lodging House. Since she was in Manhattan and Lindi and Petals were in Brooklyn, they all kept each other up with the latest happenings on their part of town. Petals grinned. "Nah! All you'se wants ta do is see Mush!" seeing lindi's face redden to a light red brought back Petals's laughter. Lindi stammered about for a comeback but all she got was, "Uh, No!.um, Manders is my friend! And YOU know how much spot likes ta wait!" "okay! okay! gimme ten minutes!" Petals gasped between giggles. As lindi walked to the door, she shot back, "Hey, at least I don't have his picture in a heart frame on my pillow that i kiss everynight!" With this comeback and a shoe flying at her head, she shot out of the room and down the stairs to inform Spot who had just arrived that they would be down soon.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~ten minutes later~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"PETALS! LET'S GO!" Lindi hollered. "it's been ten minutes already! C'Mon!!!!"
"Hold your horses, goil! I'm comin'!" Petals shot back as she laked up to lindi. When the two of them finally got to where spot was waiting, he was itching to get going. "Heya, Spot! How's it rollin'?" petals sweetly asked.
"Fair, fair.I'll be great once we gets a move on so we can gets ta Manhattan." Spot trailed off.
"ta see Manders," lindi offhandedly added giggling as she dodged a false punch in her direction. As they trudged down the filling streets of New York City, they talked about life, love and things of that nature. And as they walked, many thoughts were running through their heads, but one identical thought was running through each one's minds: This is the beginning of a beautiful day.
A.N. R&R! please! I'ma beggin ya! Thanks! ~*~*~*~lindi~*~*~*~
