My name is Alyssa Menken. But I've gone by Camryn ever since I ran away and became a newsie. But when someth...
"Coming" I quickly go downstairs and Spot is indeed standing right in the doorway.
"Handsome young man he is" My mom whispers in my ear when I approach the door.
"Leave" She walks away enough so she can't hear us but can still see me.
"What are you doin ere" I turn to Spot and change to a nicer tone than the one I used with my mom.
"Hey Princess" He leans on the doorway and I can't help but thinking about how hot he looks. I embrace him in a big hug.
"Haven't heard that one in a while" He looks me up and down.
"Well now yous look like one wit yer fancy dress and all"
I feel myself blushing a little bit. Then I realize I haven't seen him in a bit. And that he's here, at my house, seeing me as a girl, after a few weeks since I left Brooklyn. I start to panic.
"How are you here? And why and how did you find me and~"
"Calm down. I know yous were in Manhattan disguised as a guy."
"Why didn't ya say anything?"
"I didn't wanna expose ya if the other boys didn't know"
"How long"
"Since yous tried ta break Crutchy out"
"But how's did yous~"
"We'll talk later. I'm ere wit Race and Nick" Thats a trio I never thought I'd see.
Then 2 familiar heads pop out from the doorway.
"Hey guys!" I pull all 3 of them into a hug.
"So you ready ta get outta ere Brooklyn" Race says.
I look over at my mom who is giving me a curious look.
"Me mom is watchin me I can't guys"
"What about the window in ya room" Nick remembered about my window.
"Locked" Then something pops into my head.
"But it can be opened from the outside. If yous can get it open I can get out"
"Guys" Race looks at them both.
"Let's do this" I swear that sounds like something from a movie.
"Well we's better get goin!" Spot says loudly so my mom can hear him.
"See ya guys, uh, sometime!" Then I close the door and start going up the stairs but then my mom stops me.
"Who were they?"
"Friends" I go up a few more steps but get stopped again.
"They looked like newsies"
"They are" Shit I shouldn't have said that.
"They, uh, just came ta say goodbye"
"Oh I see. One of them reminded me of your cousin Nick" I stop in my tracks and slowly turn around to face her.
"Uhm it wasn't" I quickly turn away and run up the stairs before she can say anything else.
I open the door to my room and go over to the window. I was not expecting to see what I did. Race is on Spots shoulders trying to unlock the window. They finally get it and Race almost falls into the thorn bush like I did when I ran away.
I open it up and Nick gives me the ok to jump down.
I put my legs over the windowsill but then remember something. I quickly grab my newsie hat and put it on.
I jump down expecting to land on hard ground but I'm caught by someone instead. I look to see who it is and it's of course Spot.
Race makes a gagging sound and I look over at him. Nick punches him in the shoulder. I roll my eyes and get out of Spots grasp. These 3 are something else.
"Let's go" ~~~~ I pull Race aside to ask him a question I've been thinking about since we left my house.
"Why's did ya bring Spot"
"Ta help us get you"
"Oh come on that's not a real reason. Yous had Nick for where ta find me and it's not like he's contributin anythin"
"Well maybe, just maybe, I's think yous would be cute together" I burst out into laughter.
"Who knew yous had a soft spot for love" I keep laughing and Nick and Spot look at me like I'm crazy. I ignore them.
"I's don't. I can just see how much ya like em and I want yous to be happy"
"Aww thanks Race" I give him a kiss on the cheek and we join Nick and Spot again.
