Yes I know Julie is very 'bitchy', is the word I've been getting, to Riley. It'll all be explained. Ya know what I'll see if I can get that part explained in this chapter…. Try.. my stories have minds of they're own and sometimes I don't always have control. Uhh hmm I think I'll give out the little Origami frogs we made in Japanese today. We had all passed out Katakana quiz so we got kinda a fun day.
This chapter is dedicated to my friend named Adam (no he's not my boy friend and no I don't like him) because he's moving away tomorrow and we're all really sad about it. Mary I don't want to hear a word.

Tysangel14: Yes the Manhattan newsies will show up. It wouldn't be a newsies fanfiction with out them. We already met Davie, not sure whether we'll see much more of him though…. Umm not sure when we'll meet them though, I know when in the story about it'll happen but not sure chapter wise. *gives cute little origami frog*
Merp: Yup, yup Miss Congeniality one of my favorite movies. It's ok you can laugh at Si. I laugh at him for getting beat up by Julie, although she aim a little below the belt, it was self defence so it's all good. *gives cute little origami frog*
Chapter 12
That night I again went back to the lodging house and went straight to bed. I hoped the other girls didn't think that John and I were being anti-social. I wasn't trying to be I was just really tired. Exhausted really and well feeling a little guilty from giving Si the beat down, euh more of intense pain for getting him in a spot no boy should have to go through unless of course he deserved it *cough*Oleg*cough*.
I was pretty much asleep with in seconds or as close to seconds when you feel guilty for something. I had one of the most bizarre dreams, well this isn't unusual for me like the time I dreamt I stole Jacky Chan's sparkly, green pants but we won't go into that. I dreamt that I was in the Japanese class room at my school but Sensei (Japanese for teacher, or master) wasn't there, Riley, John and Adam were. Riley and John were playing poker and John was wearing his peter pan costume for Halloween.
Adam stood off to the side watching them both quietly. I approached him feeling guilty about almost forgetting him. He didn't even acknowledge me as I opened my mouth to speak. He walked towards the mini game of poker which had expanded to with several more faces I didn't know but did because it was a dream. He behind Riley his face reminded me of the emotionless look Spot got in his eyes some times. Riley was laughing then stood up and let Adam take his place in the poker game.
The scene changed to just me and John at a swimming pool. An unknown face was diving of the board and my friend, Elizabeth, was walking towards with Dima next to her. They were laughing and in my dream seemed like they would make a cute couple. Elizabeth smiled at me and spoke in a language I didn't understand. She was speaking in German I realized. Elizabeth doesn't speak German, neither does Dima.
"Julie," she yelled in her loud Elizabeth voice.
"What?" I called back just as loud as if it were one of our games.
"Julie!" She called again but I swore it wasn't her voice.
Then my radio went off playing Twinkle by Track One. Elizabeth was signing a long; Elizabeth had never heard my Track One CD. Track One is never on the Radio either. The song changed.
"Wake up you sleepy head, get up get out of bed. See how the sun is shining. Stand up and move your toes. Tell them it's time to go; you've a lot to do today." I was positive I heard my older brother Edmond, and sister Dinny singing it.
I sat up fast hitting my head on the bunk above me. John sat on my sat legs trying to sing the wake up song. I laughed and pulled him into a hug.
"Finally up?" asked Stormy not to far away.
"Yes what time is it?"
"6:30ish," she replied estimating.
"Crap, why didn't Mom wake me up earlier?" I jumped out of bed, moving john first of course.
"Julie ya woik at a school don't'cha?" Stormy said with a calm voice. This didn't seem like a time for questions to me I was going to be late and then loose some money for the day. Loosing money was a bad thing.
"Yeah," I replied rushing to get ready.
"School's are closed on Saturday's aren't dey?"
"Yeah," I replied slowing down as her words dawned on me. "It's Saturday isn't it?"
"Yeah,"
"Oh," I felt a little stupid after that I felt really very stupid for not knowing what day of the week it was. I got ready and decided to sell the entire day. It would be a new experience. I'd only sold half a day before and this could be fun. Maybe fun wasn't the right word but adventurous definitely was.
"Guess what John," I said after we were all ready.
"What?" he asked noticing the excitement in my voice.
"You get to be with me all day today,"
"Really!?!" John asked.
"Yep,"
"Huray," John said bouncing. "Are we going to play like at home?"
"No, we have to sell newspapers," I replied his face dropped.
"Oh," he groaned. "But I want to play."
"I know you do, but we can't today."
"Please Julie, Please," he begged. It hurt to have to turn him down when he was begging like that.
"Maybe later we can find you a part. Would that be okay?"
"Yeah," He replied after a moment of thought and it was hesitant too.
After the reluctant agreement we headed out to the distribution center so I could buy our papers.
