Chapter 5
"Ugh!" I have nothing ta wear to da party!" Angel complained to Mush later that afternoon. "All I have is guy clothes, and that one dirty skirt you found me in."
"Relax, I have an idea," Mush told her, "Follow me." He led her down the street and to the back of on old theater. "Ladies first," he said as he opened the door.
"In that case, go ahead," she said with a smirk. He playfully punched her in the arm, and they walked in together.
They heard footsteps and someone called, "Who is back there, get out... Oh Mush! How've you been? I haven't seen you in forever."
"Hey Medda. Dis here is Angelface, Angel dis is Medda Larkson," Mush said with a sheepish grin.
"It's nice to meet you," Medda said to a blushing Angel
"We have a bit of an emergency here. See dere's dis party tanight, but Angel aint got nuttin ta wear..."
"Say no more. Follow me," she beckoned to Angel, who followed her nervously into a room.
"I'll see ya at Tibby's tanight!" Mush called after her.
Later that evening, the boys were sitting around a table at the back of Tibby's. The tiny restaurant was jam packed with newsies from Manhattan, Brooklyn, and even a few from Queens. Race, Jack, Mush, Kid Blink, and Spot Conlon were in a heated game of poker. Race was winning, go figure.
"So where's dis goil I been hearin so much about Jacky-boi?" Spot asked as he studied his cards.
"I dunno, Mush was wit her last."
"I dropped her off at Medda's about two hours ago. Ya know how long it takes goils ta get ready." Mush laid down his cards.
"I win again boys," Race said as he began to scoop up his pile of winnings, but stopped when they all noticed the room had gone silent. They turned around to see what everyone was looking at.
There was Angel, standing in the door way. She was wearing at white, silk, low-cut dress that glittered slightly when the light hit it. Her hair was curled, and pulled into a graceful bun onto her head. A diamond necklace was draped across her neck, and she had dangling earrings to match. Her lips had a natural but shimmering color, and her eyes were dusted with silver eye shadow. She was blushing slightly, and had a modest smile. She truly did look like an Angel.
A/N: Shout outs
TheAngryPrincess13- Thanks so much for reviewing. It makes me feel so specail that my sister isn't the only one reading this.
swimade333- I can't believe you were nice to me, wow. I may have to give you a present, yeah right. I know the beginings kind of fast, but it slows down as the story goes on. And I did end up taking the first chapter out and putting the prologue in instead, which was a wise decsion I think.
