Although Harmony felt like her insides were being torn out, she just raised her eyebrow. Harmony grabbed her sweater and walked over to Spot. Both Spot and the girl looked up, questioningly.
"Tryin' ta get a bettah view?" Spot asked cruelly.
Harmony, ignoring his comment, held out her hand to the new girl. "Hello, my name is Melody, I don't think we've met."
"Hey! My name is Ashely, but everyone jest calls me Feisty," she said shaking
Harmony's hand. "Wow, its so nice ta find someone who is halfway decent ta me here. Everyone else has been incredibly rude ta me and dey keep tellin' me I'm not as good as Harmony. It's getting fairly tiresome."
Harmony looked over at some of the newsies who had started laughing. "Ignore dem, ya seem like a very nice girl. So, how did ya get mixed up wid dis jerk?" she asked, indicating Spot.
Spot just rolled his eyes as Harmony and Feisty continued their talk. "Um…thanks I think. Well, actually I have liked him for a while but he only recently returned the feelings."
"Oh, dat's very interestin'. An'…why do ya like him? I mean obviously yer not wid him fer his looks, personality or kissin' skills…or lack there of…" Harmony commented.
Spot glared at Harmony and put his arm around Feisty. Feisty giggled. "Oh, your so funny! Spot is so perfect…and he definitely has kissing skills!"
Harmony scoffed and asked, "Outta innocent curiosity have ya evah kissed anyone else?"
Feisty looked at her oddly, "I don't jest go 'round kissin' everyone…an' how would you know if Spot has kissin' skills or not?"
"Oh, 'cause I do go 'round 'jest kissin' everyone'. Don't worry 'bout any hard feelins from me doh, hes nothin' special," Harmony commented looking Spot up and down pointedly. Spot looked back unimpressed.
Just then Blink came in saying, "Harmony what are you'se doin'? Our pokah game is ready an' Jack is lookin' for ya…" He then looked at Spot and saw the new girl sitting on his lap. "I'se think I'se jest gunna go downstairs now an' wait somemoah befoah I'se do somethin' ta get me killed…" he said and walked out of the room.
"Harmony? Yer Harmony? The Harmony that everyone has been talkin' 'bout?" Feisty asked incredulously.
"Yeah, I do have quite a reputation…"
"Yeah fer bein' a slut," Spot said finally finding his toungue.
"If I am such a slut how come you nevah got anywhere wid me?" Harmony asked smugly.
"If I'se wanted ta, I'se woulda," Spot retorted smirking. "Now if you'se don't mind I'se am sorta in da middle a somethin' an' would like ta finish. Why don't you hurry off ta yer many adorin' fans?"
"Gladly. It was nice meetin' ya Feisty, and Spot its been a pleasure as always." Harmony said smiling.
"Oh no, princess, da pleasure is all mine," Spot said smirking.
"Yeah, yer right, it is." With that Bitter walked out of the room.
Right after she left the room, Jack approached her. "Hey are you'se okay? I'se sorry 'bout dat…Spot aint known fer havin' good taste…" Jack comforted.
"As comforting as that is Jack….I'm fine. Look, can we talk later? I kind of just want to go play cards, forget about everything. You know what I mean?" Harmony told Jack.
"Sure, I jest wanted ta tell you'se I'se remembah you'se, Melody Steffanson. Why didn't you'se tell me who you'se were?" Jack asked looking a little hurt.
"So, Spot told yam huh? Not dat I was surprised but I figured it would take more den a day. Look, I wasn't going to stick around very long so I didn't want ya ta remember who I was an' as I remembah it we didn't exactly part on da best terms," Harmony informed him.
"All right, so what happens now?" Jack asked.
"Nothin' happens. I'm gunna go downstairs and win a couple hands of poker an' den I'm gunna go to sleep."
"How can nothin' change? Ain't ya even gunna tell me what happened? I'se thinks dat I'se desoives ta know…"
"Ya do desoive ta know, but I'm not ready ta talk ta ya 'bout it." Harmony said sharply and then walked downstairs. Jack just watched her walk downstairs. Then he left the Lodging House and went for a walk to figure things out.
Harmony continued to do just what she had told Jack. She went downstairs and played poker for a while, winning two hands. Although Blink had asked, she refused to tell them what had gone on upstairs or to talk about Spot at all. After the game ended she walked upstairs and jumped in her bed ignoring Spot and Feisty who were still kissing. That is so disgusting! How can dey jest kiss like dat infronta everyone? Why is Spot doin' dat anyways? Was he always dis mean or is der somethin' wrong wid him? Well, I don't care what Blink says I am not goin' ta have a conversation wid dat boy, civil or otherwise.
Harmony didn't have to worry about talking to Spot because he had gone back to Brooklyn before she woke up. She was somewhat sad to see him go, but was too angry and hurt to admit it.
