History
"I'm sick and tired of you Spot Conlon!" Holly stated.

"Yeah? Is dat right? Well ya know what? Youse are not welcome in Brooklyn anymore!" Spot yelled wavin his walkin stick.

"Youse throwin me out of the city Sopt? You can't do that!"

"Ok, fine. But if any of my newsies see ya anywhere in Brooklyn, they gots me privlidge to soak ya."

"Dat's fine, cuz I'm outta here!"

"Where ya gonna go?"

"Away from you!" Holly said, and she walked out of da Brooklyn Lodging House.

She really didn't know where she was gonna go. She needed a job, but Manhattan hated her, dat's why she moved to Brooklyn in the first place. She hated the Bronx, but she did have some friends in Harlem. Yes, she would go to Harlem, hopefully they would take her in.

So she ran all the way to Harlem, knowing if Spot saw her, he'd help her out of town, with a couple of bruises. The truth was Spot hated her ever since the day she started.

Now she was in Harlem running, she didn't know where. It took what seemed like ages until she found the Harlen Lodging House. She took a deep breath, and walked in.

"Heya Mr. Randell?" Holly said ringing the bell.

"Yes? Who's calling?" He asked looking up from his work. "Oh, Hello Holly. I haven't seen ya in a while!"

"Like Wise." She started. "Um.. do ya happen to have an extra room round here?"

"Actually, one of our newsies just moved to Queens. So ya, we do."

"Can I stay here?" She asked. He thought for a while, and then nodded.

"Thanks so much."

So Holly made her way up to the bunkroom, just as all the Harlem Newsies were filing in.

"Heya Holly, whatcha doin here?" Fire asked. As he walked in. He was the leader of the Harlem newsies, and was as tough as they come. But inside he was really sweet, Holly dated him for a while, but it didn't work out.

"Uh...me and Spot got in a fight."

"Again?"

"Yeah. But dis time it's for good."

"So ya stayin here? How long?"

"Yeah. Probably til Spot cools down, or forever. Which ever comes first."

"I'm hopin forever comes first." Fire said with an evil smile.

"Fire, whe are you eva gonna realize, we're not together anymore?" She asked, as she started to laugh to herself. " Actually, youse can say da sparks are gone." She finished as Fire rolled his eyes.

" Heya Fire? I found dis kid in da Bronx. He needs a job an' I thought he could be a Newsie with us. He says his name is Matthew, but people call him Dime. Can he stay wit us please?" One of the Newsies named Midnight asked.

"Fine, but he's gotta woik hard." Fire added.
