I squint my eyes looking up at the sunrise sitting up from the shore line I made it to Manhattan away from everything now it was time to start my new life past all the trauma. I stand up and look around to see newsboys carrying the banner as they call it. I tuck my hair into my cap I slowly follow them to get my papers. 'I guess I mase we'll earn money how else am I going to get food' I think to myself.
As I see everybody getting there papes I get a few strange looks from some of the boys. Soon enough it was my turn. The man Mr. Wisel as he called himself earlier looks at me "how many?" He asks from the corner of my eye I see one of the boys behind the counter with a moustache looking at me questionable. "40 papes Mr. Wisel." I reply looking half shocked to hear a new newsie speak nice to him he yells out "40 papes for the new guy." As the papes get put down infront of me "thank you" I say and take my papes when a guy approaches me "hello the names Kelly jack Kelly" jack states "hi I'm..." I pause I can't let them know I'm a girl what should I be called ?! I think "...Henry colleens" he looks at me confused and tells me "you need a newsie name a lot of the guys hear are runaways or orphans a newsie name helps not identify you." I think "speedy" I say out loud he nods his head "ok speedy it is then" I nod and we separate our ways as I walk around Manhattan after selling my papes I see the two guys from behind the counter walking towards me...
