"I wish I had a goil," I mumbled out loud. We were at da lodgin' house 'bout ta leave for Medda's since she's lettin' us have a little get tagether wit da odda newsies. All da boys had deir goils wit 'em an' I feel left out. I always feel left out. But no goil would ever want a gimp.

I walked behind da boys an' deir goils. Whenever da goils are 'round, I'm always da thoid wheel. Dey kept on walkin' fasta an' fasta an' soon, I was furtha behind dem. Suddenly, somethin' bumped inta me sendin' me ta da ground from me lack of balance. I look up ta see a goil 'round me age wit long black curls.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going," she said helpin' me stand.

"It- It's fine," I stutter from 'er charming smile an' Italian accent.

"I'm Essie," she held out 'er hand fa me ta shake.

"Crutchy," I shake 'er hand.

"Well, Crutchy, I must get going. It was nice meeting you. I'll see you around," she smiles.

"The pleasure is all mine. An' hopefully," I say before she walks away. Her cheeks are lightly tinted pink and I watched 'er as she walks away turnin' 'round once more before turnin' a corner. I look away an' continue me walk ta Medda's. She was gorgeous. I hope I see 'er again.

A-N- I'm sorry it's super short :( I hope you still like it though :)
