Chapter 3
When we finished our lunches, one by one, everyone headed out for the afternoon editions. This is going to be my first time actually selling MY papes. As we walked to the distribution office all the boys were joking around. Glancing around me, I saw the two people I wanted to escape from. Hoping they didn't see me already I cowered in fear behind Mush. Jack noticed this and whispered "Don't worry 'bout dem Delanceys. We won't let dem botha' ya. But stay away from dem if possible, they are always up tah no good." I smiled half-heartedly at his first comment.
"Tanks Jack." I replied.
"Hey dere dollface, why don't ya come wit me an' we can have a little fun.if ya know what I mean." An unwanted voice requested. Oscar Delancy. Wait a minute., did he just call me DOLLFACE??? EWW. Isn't there a law against family members "having fun?" like incest? Well at least he doesn't recognize me, good thing too or there would be hell to pay. I decided not to respond to that comment not wanting to blow my cover on the first day.
Thankfully, Blink came to my rescue by saying "She would have tah be pretty desperate to go wit an ass like you, Oscar." My crude 'brother' charged at Blink with anger apparent in his eyes, but Skittery and Jack held him back. Unexpectedly, Morris came from out of no where and smashed a split piece of broken wood on top of Blink's head. He stumbled from the pain and landed face first in the cobblestone road.
That's when all hell broke lose.
Punches were thrown, yelling and shouting arose in the sky, and like a cat I nimbly slid out of the scene. Honestly, I hope they didn't notice me leave. If they did, well let's just say that they would think something was up. As I slid my 5'3 body along side the building near by, I heard a loud yell of pain. Then silence struck in all about two seconds. I walked back to the beat down site and peered through the crowd of newsies circled around what seemed to be two bodies. It just so happened that the two bodies were those damn brothers of mine.
These two disgust me. I thought as I stared down at them in hatred and disgrace. They came home bragging every day that they have soaked a newsie or someone that is friends with them. Were they saying that to impress me because they are older than me or were they trying to intimidate me? Whatever it was it never worked.
We then scattered from Oscar and Morris and decided to go our own ways, not wanting to sell the afternoon editions. A few of the young ones went to Central Park. Jack, Skittery, Blink, and Bumlets went to go and visit their girls. Most went back to the lodging house to rest. And that left Mush and I . "Youse wanna go down to dah tracks an' visit Race?" Mush asked with visible boredom in his eyes.
"Shoah. Why not? It's not like we have anything better tah do, right?"
"Hah. I like ya goil. Ya know dat? You'se quite dah character." Like a brother, Mush ruffled my hair that was hanging down from the nice, cool fall weather. I gave him a quick smile and we started walking down to the tracks.
Mush and I were almost there when we heard a shout from over the crowds. It was Race. "Hey Mush. Hey Kiara. What are youse two doin' ovah here? I thought that youse would still be sellin'." He said while walking to up to us.
"Yeah, well, we had a run-in wit dah Delancey's and decided tah take dah afternoon off and by dah way it's Misfit, now. Skittery gave me dah name befoah the-uh-incident." I stated.
"Oh.Why do dose guys have tah be dah way dey are? I mean can't dey be civilized foah at least a day?" Race questioned.
"No because dat would take too much effort and dere brain won't be able to process what nice gesture dey did." Kiara shot back.
"Yeah. Dey do more acts of wrongness den Spot's got goils." Mush chimed in.
"Let's just be glad dat he wasn't here to hear dat, Mush or ya would have a great big shinah on your face, right now." Race added.
"Ooh that's anudder one ya wanna stay away from 'sides dah Delanceys is Spot. He can be a nice guy, but if ya get on his bad side he goes off like a firecracker on dah forth of July. Spot also seems tah have a different goil every week but dat's Spot foah ya."
"Oh, that's always nice tah know," I said words oozing with sarcasm. "and don't worry 'bout me I'll be fine."
*~~*~~*~~*
We talked for a few more hours and watched Race place bets. He won a few times, but only made about one dollar and seven cents. "I tink dat we should go. It's pokah night and dey are gonna start wit' out us if we'se don't start tah head on out of here." Mush suggested.
"Ah, come on, one more bet?" Race answered feeling luckier than he has all day.
"Yeah, I'se agree wit Mush. I'se need tah get home. Anyways it's getting' late." I put in.
"Wait, what? Home?" Much asked skeptically.
"Yeah, I'se live wit me uncle. If I'm not home in like thoity minutes, me uncle will be pissed." I responded in and unsure way.
"Oh, okay. Then wese bettah get goin' if we don't want a pissed off uncle and a trouble goil runnin' 'round Manhattan."
"Are ya sure dat ya can't stay for one round of pokah? It'll be fun." Race asked wanting to know how well I could play.
"Maybe next time, Race." We then headed our separate ways. Mush and Race going left to the Lodging house and I going right, to my apartment. On my way home I saw Blink with his arm around the waist of a girl.
"Hey Misfit, how's it rollin'?
"Good, good and yourself? Oh," I said looking at the girl next to him, " dah name's Misfit." I extended my hand for her to shake.
She gladly shook it. "I'm Candle. I'se wit dah Brooklyn newsies, but sometimes I'se come here tah see me Blink."
Candle was a tan girl of about 5'5. She had jet black hair and brown eyes. "It's nice tah meetcha but I'se bettah be goin'." I said quickly.
"Wait. Aren't youse gonna come an' play pokah wit us? Almost all of dah Brooklyn newsies are gonna be dere." Blink asked.
"Not tahnight. I'se gotta get home to me uncle." I said with a weak smile.
"If you'se insist. See ya tomorrow. "
"Bye Blink. Bye Candle." I walked off in the other direction finishing my journey home.
