I planned out this last night and you should be proud because I never plan things out and this is going to be a really long story if I finish it. Yeah so just thought I should tell you. Bah I forgot to give my reviewers something last chapter and now I have to give you two things... and I still can't think of anything to give.

Shout Outs:

            Miracle: No prob. Thanks for reviewing.

            Sapphy: Umm sweet. Yes that's what I thought but Julie doesn't always agree with me. I hate it when my characters get minds oh their own. JKJK.

            AngelFish: Another person siding with Riley. *sigh*. Yes he was being nice.. But Julie feels that since she has a boyfriend and everything that Riley needs to keep his distance... That and Riley had a little bit of Spot with him when that happened so Julie wasn't sure she could completely trust him. Lol now I'm practically rambling. I'll stop and just thank you now. Thank you for reviewing.

            Tysangel114: Thanks so much. Wow reread. I reread my own stories but I didn't think anyone else does. Cool. I'll update as soon as I can but I blame the slow updates on my teachers. See I have a few well, umm 3 advanced classes(can't call them ap because the freshman don't really have ap classes just advanced ones) and the teachers in those classes like to give me homework, so much that I hardly have time to go to my gymnastics and cheer and stuff. So if you want I can get you emails of the teachers so you can spam them to give us less homework so I can update more.. Just joking. Sorry I'm a little hyper thus the little rambles. Thanks again.

Chapter 11

            Now I could tell you all about the boring part of my day at the school or I could skip to the not so boring part.... Never mind you don't have a choice I'm going to the adventuress part.

            I walked down towards the DC in hopes of having a really good selling day. Riley's warning was fresh in my mind as I walked through the streets constantly glancing over my shoulder. I had strayed from the usual crowd that I walked through in search of a quicker path.

            My foot caught on a loose cobble stone and fell face first onto the street. To avoid being trampled I rolled into alley near me before trying to get up. I Got up slowly not in much hurray.
           
            "'Ello," Said a boy standing near me.

            "Hey," I replied cautiously.

            "What'cha doin' in an alley in Brooklyn by yaself?" He asked advancing on me. All warning signs were up now. I backed up sure that there was an exit behind me if I needed to run.

            "Whoa dere goily," came a voice behind me as I bumped into something. My heart stopped as I realized between the two of them they had the exits covered.

            "We ain't going to hoit ya," said the first boy.

            Not having much self-defense classes or anything I was terrified. Then I got an idea. Still right up against the one behind me I decided to S-I-N-G. Solar plexus, Instep, Nose, Groin! They all worked all perfectly except I missed his nose and got his eyes instead but that worked just as well.

            I smiled as the one in front of had a look of horror on his face. Who said you couldn't learn things from movies. Really look at what "Miss Congeniality" had taught me.

            I heard a gasp from the poor guy I'd practically crippled behind me and a burst of laughter from above me. I looked up and there was Riley looking down on us practically on the floor laughing.

            "Julie dey wasn't gonna hoit ya," He said gasping for air.

            "'Cuse me?" I asked completely confused.

            "Dey was just gonna suggest dat ya stay in de streets,"

            I was horror stricken when I looked down at the poor guy I'd whooped.

            "Scheist," I cursed kneeling down to see if he was ok. "You kay?"

            I got a low grunt out of him in reply. My heart sank and I suddenly felt absolutely horrible. I had acted in my own self defense at the time but now it seemed like the wrong thing to do. This poor boy, though he was older than me, had just gotten a serious beat down from a girl, talk about a serious blow to ones ego.

            "Julie wow," Riley laughed coming down from the roof top. "Where'd ya loin dat?"

            I merely smiled in reply. I wasn't about to explain to him a concept that he wouldn't even begin to understand. "Come on goil, who taught ya dat?" I continued to smile and gave no indication as to that I was going to tell him.

            Riley taking a hint that I wasn't going to answer turned his attention to the boy on the ground. He shook his head as the boy sat up clutching his eyes that I'd got pretty square on.

            "Dude, I'm sorry meant to hit your nose not your eye," I apologized trying to make up for what I had done.

            "Uh," was all I got in reply.

            "Si is havin' quite de bad day," Riley said offering Si a hand up. Si was only about 3 inches taller than me and had shaggy black hair hiding light brown eyes with an orange tinge to then.

            "De goil took down Si," finally mumble the first boy.

            "Yeah no kindin' Dima," Riley responded still slightly chuckling.

            "Dima?" I asked turning to him.

            "Yeah do I'se know ya or sum'im?"

            "No, Dima is short for Dmitri right?"

            "Vy govo'rite po russki?"(the Russian here is only a pronunciation because they use a different alphabet) Dima asked me. I stared at him only having understanding of one word of it 'russki' which meant Russian, so from that I guessed that he asked if I spoke Russian.

            "Niet, know a little 'bout the culture and hist-" I cut myself off realizing the history I knew hadn't happened yet. The revolution didn't happen till 1916.. eh(not yet, eh) somewhere around there "-and... eh.. a little about the opera." Oh I really hoped that the Opera's I knew had been written already.

            "Yeh, don't know much about Opeah and uddah rich people stuff," Dima replied back to me getting his distance a little.

            "Neh," I muttered not sure how to reply to that.

            "Julie heah," Riley said placing his hand on my shoulder. "Know's lots 'bout stuff."

            "Alright Julie, what do ya know. Know any uddah language maybe," Dima said challenging me.

            "Hai(Japanese for yes), Nihongo(the japanese word for japanese)," I replied back. Sure I didn't know that much Japanese but they didn't know that. I wasn't happy with just that though "et je parle Francais."

            Dima nodded and shrugged seemly satisfied.

            "Well I got papahs I got ta sell," I said adding a little bit of a New York accent to spice up my leaving.

            "Wait Julie," Riley said catching up with me.

            "What?"

            "I need ta twak ta ya,"

            "Not now,"

            "Why not?"
           
            "I said so,"

            "Dat's no reason," Riley grabbed my arm.

            "I don't care," I snapped jerking it out of his loose grip.

            "Fine den," Riley turned and walking in the other direction with in seconds.

            I sighed frustrated with Riley. I just wasn't sure what to do about him.
