Chapter 3:
"Nice to meet you. My name's Rebecca." I said just as a heard yelling and cursing coming from downstairs.
"What is that?" I asked sitting up and staring at the closed door.
"I don't know." Tumbler said looking at the door too.
"You stay here Tumbler, I'll go see what it is." Race said, putting down his cards he was playing with and standing up, heading for the door.
"I'll come too. I want to see what is going on." I said standing up.
"Alright, but you be careful and stick with me."
"Okay." I said smiling and heading out the door leaving Tumbler to get more rest.
I reached the end of the stairs first. I looked around and saw a circle of boys standing around a girl and a boy. They seemed to be yelling at each other. The group of boys were all yelling at them to stop. They all looked alike. They were dirty and they wore hats, shirts, suspenders, and pants. The boy in the middle was different somehow. He was shorter then the rest of them and he had a cane in his hand. I think he looked kind of childish and cocky. I gasped as I looked at the girl, she was dressed like the rest of them. She had on pants not a skirt, a shirt not a blouse, and suspenders. Her brown hair was in a braid down her back and a blue hat on her head.
"Oh," said Race, "it is Addy and Spot fighting again."
"Addy and Spot?" I said confused.
"Yeah. Addy is the only girl newsie here, she is just one of the guys to us. Spot is the leader of the Brooklyn newises, you don't want to mess with him."
"Why? He looks like ten years old." I said laughing.
"Trust me. You don't want to mess with him."
"Well, this girl is and I think she is winning." I said.
"Yeah, but she is different. He likes her." he said looking at me.
"Oh." I said looking at him.
"Well," he said breaking eye contact, "I better go and help break it up."
"Yeah, I'll watch from here." I said looking over at the growing crowd.
Soon the fight was broken up and Addy stood there while Spot walked out the door angrily.
"I can't believe him!" said Addy right when the door closed and walked up the stairs right past me. Once she reached the top she turned around suddenly, "Who are you?" she said confused.
"Rebecca, sorry I didn't say something."
"You're the girl everyones been talking about." she said grinning. "Come up with me."
"Where are we going?" I said as she grabbed my arm.
"To the roof." Addy said grinning.
Soon we were on the roof, laying down looking at the stars. "It's beautiful up here." I said.
"Yeah, it is. I come up here when I want to be alone. So why are you here Rebecca?"
"Well I guess I saved Tumbler the other night."
"No. I mean, why are you here? You don't sound like from around here." She said turning over on her side so she could look at me.
"Well, I came here from England to be free. In England I couldn't do anything. I had to dress up everyday and have excellent manners. I was sick of it all. Then I decided to leave but I had no where to go, so I came to America. The only ship I could find was coming here to New York so I thought that sounded just fine. I just came off the ship and saw Tumbler, and now I am here." I explained looking at her when I was done.
"So, you have no where to go?" she asked.
"Nope, I guess I'll just keep walking until I find somewhere." I said turning back to the stars. "So why were you and that boy fighting?"
"Well he asked me out for the 100th time and it is getting really annoying." we both laughed and talked the whole night.
