Wake Up Call

"Get up! Get up!" I am awakened from my slumber by Mr. Kloppman yelling

"Boots!" From the corner of my eye, I see Boots telling Mr. Kloppman to go away, but after a few seconds, he gets up and heads to the bathroom.

I was scared that Mr. Kloppman would come to me next, but he went to Skittery instead, so I started to snuggle up in my blankets, trying to fall back asleep. 

"Skittery, Skittery, Skittery!" he started at Skittery. 

"I didn't do it!" Skitter yells, waking up from his slumber.

"What do ya mean you didn't do it? Get up, get up!" Mr. Kloppman said. he continued calling our names until we were all up and getting ready.

"Alright, carry the banner! Sell the papers! Sell the papers!" He said well, leaving the room.

I felt the sheets pull off, and the cold air hit my body. Goosebumps spread across my arm and legs. I shiver and open my eyes to see that the person who pulled the sheets off me is the only Crutchie. He is one of my 4 best friends, but he comes in 1st place.

"Alright, I'm up. I'm up!" I yelled at him

"Good cus we got a long day ahead of us," Crutchie states

"Ita always a long day when you're a newsie!" I yell at him as he walks away. 

"Stop your yelling. It's like 3 in the mornin" Jake yells before he pulls the sheets over his head, trying to hide from the sun and noise. 

"Come on, Jakie, it's not that early. And anyways, you got to get up. Who is going to sell the papes." I try to pull the sheets off him while talking, but he pulls them right back.

"If you wouldn't get up, I will be happy to get Mr. K back in here," I say, trying to get him up.

"I up!' Jake yells, jumping out of bed.

I nod in approval and walk to the bathrooms to get changed, but first, I go under my bed and pull a trunk out from under it. I grab my newsie outfit and head to the bathroom.

Before I can get into the stall to change, a boy calls out, "Hey, Darlin, mind if I join." I turn around to see who said that, but before I can l hear, people start to fight, and I quickly get on my outfit so I can see what's going on.

"Hey! That's my cigar!" I hear Racetrack say as I walk up to them almost ready for the day.

"You'll steal anotha!" Snipeshooter said back.

Kid Blink piped in, "Hey bummas, we's got work to do."

"Since when did you become me mudda?" Specs chimed in.

Crunchy stepped in between them, "Awh, stop your bawlin!"

We all screamed, "Who asked you?"

I start to walk to the sink, where I brush my hair and teeth. I then fix my suspenders. I put my cap on my head, not caring if people knew I was a girl newsie. 

I walk away and yell, "I will be waiting downstairs!" to give the boys space to change without a girl watching.

 I walk down the stair and sit on a sofa, tapping my foot to a rhythm in my head.

"Well, hey, Rooster. I see that you're awake. What about the others? Are they getting ready?" Mr. Kloppman asked.

"Their are, and their getting ready for the day." As I said, all the boys rushed down and started to pile out the door. I join, then run right next to Blink, and we start to laugh having fun.

(Hey guys, this is the first chapter of my book, and I am so happy to be writing this. I hope you enjoy this. When the newsies talk, I might not always write in the way they speak, and some time I will. It just depends on what they are saying. Thanks for reading and again I hope you enjoy this)
