Sullivan's POV
"Come on let's go get up " Our lodge keeper says
"SULLIVAN" He shouts at me don't get me wrong though he's a great guy
" Wha...I didn't do it" I shout jumping up
"What ya mean ya didn't do it get up!" He shouts
I slip out of bed and put on my blue button up shirt , black pants and suspenders and boots .
"Where's my hat at" Mush screams
"I'd like to know where mines at to" I say
Race :That my cigar ?
Snipeshooter :You'll steal anodar
Blink :Hey bums quit it we got work ta do"
Kid :Since when did you become a Mada
Crutchy :aw quit ya bawling
Newsies :WHO ASKED YOU
"Ya now I think Sullivan should be the Mada" Blink said
I chuckle "Just cause I'm a goil ain't mean I'ma gonna be your Mada"
We walk into the wash room and I pull my dirty blond hair into a braid.
"So Jack how's ya sleep" Mush asks
"On my back mush" Jacks sleepily replies
"Here that boys I asked how jack slept last night and he said ' on my back mush'! " We all laugh
Jack walks up to me and throws and arm over my shoulder.
"Hey you two when I walk does it look like I'm fakin' it " Crutchy asks
"Who says you faking it" I ask
By now all the boys are either shaving or getting ready in other ways
"No one it's just that there are a lot fake crips in New York , I gotta find I new selling spot" he replies
Mush : Try bottle alley or the harbor
Race : Try Central Park it's guaranteed
Jack : try any banker , bum or barber
Skittery : they's almost alls knows how da read
Blink walks outta the bathroom and I laugh at him
Blink : I smell money
Crutchy : you smell foal
Blink is about to come at him but Mush steps in. And I chuckle at how stupid they are
Mush : met this goil last night
Crutchy is trying to shave but Johnny's elbow is in the way
Crutchy : move your elbow
Race has soap in his eyes and looks around for a towel. Skittery is about to pass it to him when I take the towel out of his hand.
Race : pass the towel !
Me : For a Buck I might
Jack snatches the towel and throws it to Race . We all run downstairs chanting while poor kloppman try's to count us. We continue our little rant until we arrive at Newsie Square . I secure my cap so no one except the newsies now I'm a girl.Just as I do so the Delancey brudders show up .
" Dear me ! What is that unpleasant aroma !" Race says , we all chuckle that is except the Delancey brudders .
"I fear the sewers might've back up over night " Boots says fake gagging
"No it's to rotten to be the sewers" Crutchy says
"It must be the Delancey brudders" I laugh as well as the rest of the boys
Oscar , one of the brudders, grabs snipeshooter by the back of the neck and throws him to the ground.
Morris says" Back of the line , street rat"
"It's not good to do that. Not healthy " I say to Oscar as Jack helps snipe up
"Oh yeah and who's gonna stop me sweetheart" He says getting in my face
I fake blush and play along with my little act " well you know what " I say sweetly
"What ?" he says obviously buying it
I give him a death look " I hate being a sweetheart " I remark and punch him in the jaw. He's about to fight back but the boys stand in front of me.
"Lousy shrimp"
"You shouldn't call people people lousy shrimps Oscar . That is unless your referring to the family resemblance in your brudda here" Jack says to him pulling his attention away from me
"5-1 that cowboy skunks 'em , who's betting " Race says gabbling like usual
"That's right . It's an insult . So's this"
Jack knocks Morris's hat off and runs away with Morris right behind him but I kick him in the shine. And I run right after Jack . Partners in crime is what they call us . I run into a boy about sixteen , knocking me down
"What do you think you're doing" he asks Jack
"Runnin' " I answer for Jack
I circle around the boys and hide behind Race
"Wha da " he turns around to look at me and grind like a dork.
"Shhh" I put my finger on my mouth and wink .
I turn my attention to where jack is now fighting the Bradda's and him obviously winning and the brothers running away scared.
