A Delancey Sister || Newsies Fanfic (Remaking)

Chapter 1 - Who's the Girl?

Amelia POV

I woke up to Oscar sitting next to me on my bed. I blinked the tiredness out of my eyes, and see Oscar smile at me.
"Morning, Sleepyhead" he greets me with a laugh, "Remember what today is?"

I sit up extremely confused, trying to figure out what today is. Then, it hits me!
"The first day that I get to come to work with you!" I exclaim, while Oscar laughs at me.

"Yes, you do, so now get dressed in the outfit I put on your dresser, then meet Morris and I, outside" Oscar tells me at he gets up and exits the room.

I jump up and put on my white button-up shirt, black vest, black skirt, white leggings, and black shoes, then I head out to meet my brothers.

As I exit our house, I run up to Morris and hug him.

"Morning little sis, are you ready?" He asks, ruffling my hair. I laugh and swat his hands away.

"Yep!" I exclaim, as they both laugh at my excitement.

"Here's the plan for today," Oscar explains, "First we need to open the circulation gate for the Newsies, then we go work at the distribution windo-"

"Oscar, don't bore her out of her mind right now," Morris interrupts and I giggle, "she'll find out later." Oscar frowns.

"Let's go!" I exclaim, before leaping off of the stairs and joining my brothers walking over to the distribution center.

We start walking to the circulation gate and on the way I steal Morris' hat and run with it.

"Amelia! Give me back my hat!" Morris shouts, while running after me. Oscar and I laugh while I'm still running with Morris' hat.

After a few minutes of running, I see the circulation gate and lots of boys. When we finally get to the gate Morris has caught up to me and tackled me down. He starts tickling me and Oscar walks up behind him and watches us, laughing.

"You two are like little kids" He tells us, still laughing.

"Amelia, give me my hat back or I won't stop tickling you" Morris jokingly threatens, still tickling me.

"No! Oscar! Help!" I plead, while laughing.

"Nope, your fault. You stole his hat, now he gets to tickle you, sorry, not sorry" Oscar responds.

"Just take the hat" I give in, as I hand Morris his hat and he stops tickling me. He stands up and helps me up.

The Newsies just stare at us before they start throwing insults as my brothers. Then after a minute, one of the Newsies stop the others and asks,
"Yo, Oscar, who's da' cute goil?"

Ew. He looks so much older than me, like Oscar and Morris' age, 17. Meanwhile, I'm 14. I look at my brothers, they look disgusted.

"Is she single?" The one with the cigar asks.

Again, that's distrusting, I don't even know his age. After getting lost in thought for a minute, I feel Morris pull me back after Oscar unlocks the gate. Morris puts his arm around me, keeping me a little away from the Newsies, then Oscar speaks up.

"You can't date her, for a bunch of reasons" he tells them.

"Why not?" The one with the crutch asks. Man, these Newsies are curious, probably haven't met many girls.

"Are you dating her?" A different Newsie adds.

Oscar, Morris, and I all put our hands over our mouths, disgusted. The Newsies only get more confused.

"Me? Date them?" I start.

"Never" Oscar and Morris finish at the same time.

Multiple Newsies whisper to each other, a chorus of "what" and "who is she" can be heard.

"First off, you can't date her before we agree, and you have to promise to never break her heart or we'll break you" Oscar starts.

"And she has to agree to date you" Morris finishes.

"Let's start over, hello, I am Amelia, their sister."

Hope you guys are liking this book so far, if I get any names, ages, places wrong, please let me know.
