Snow fluttered down beautifully it rested gently on everything. New
York looked beautiful with the thin dusting of snow. Newly wed couples
laughed in and chased each other, commenting about the romance. Young boys
formed terrible snow balls throwing them at the girls, who were trying to
catch the snow flakes in their mouths. Newsies looked at the flakes with
resentment, hoping their papers wouldn't get ruined. Street rats sighed
wishing for a few more days of fall.
"EXTRA EXTRA! MARK TWAIN CALLS NEW YAWKER'S THIEFS!" A newsie yelled to happy passerby's. "Tank ya ma'm" He said tipping his fedora to the lady who laughed ignoring him while buying a paper.
"Hello." A brown haired girl said on her way to the pub where she worked.
"Hey! How ya doin' ta day?"
"Good an' you?" The boy smiled. He looked about 9 and the girl looked a little younger.
"Fine." The two always met, he had a spot on the corner where she worked after school in a pub. They had that small interaction every day. "I hate da snow." She said, looking up at the flakes falling.
"Me too." He said taking of his hat and whacking the snow off it "makes a mess outa everytin'"
"Wanna come in when ya done ta woim up?" the girl asked watching him
"Shur!" The boy said smiling brightly.
"I'se Jeanie" She smiled at him hoping she wasn't destroying his business, and not knowing what time it was praying that she wasn't going to be late herself.
"Ivan. Seeya!" Ivan said smiling as she left. He stood there freezing with the snow landing on him clumping his blonde hair and catching on his eye lashes. He couldn't sell the papers fast enough and the idea of staying in a pub was enough incentive. He decided that having a few papers would work to sell in the pub.
Jeanie was sitting on the back steps smoking hurridly, "Oh hey Ivan." She said blowing on her hands. "I'm on break." Her hair was damp with white flakes and they piled on her shoulders causing little white piles to form. "Danm its done." She said dropping the cigarette and stomping on it. "Come on in"
"Tanks so much." Ivan said walking in as she opened the door into the warm kitchen. "I'se jus need ta stay foir a while get warmed up."
Jeanie grabbed his hands and brought them up to her mouth breathing on them and rubbing them. "Betteh?"
"Yeah tanks." Ivan blushed for an unknown reason. "Day a mind if I jus' sit hea? Ya know woim up befoah da next ediatehn?"
"Nah, sit by da fiah. I'll give ya some a da scraps." Jamie said, grabbing a dirty dish and submerging it. "So where ya sleep?"
"Well, a friend said he was gunna try an' get me inta a lodgen house." Ivan said pushing his hands up against the fire reveling in the warmth.
"Lucky."
"Wha abou' you?"
"Where evah I can."
"Dat sucks."
"Da snow makeas it woise. Freezing all the time." Jamie said shivering. "I mean its cold enough but when da snows dere it stays cold."
"Ain't dere a place ya could stay? Like a goil's lodgen house?" Ivan said his body finally warming up. "I mean dere gotta be a place."
"Dun know where one is an' it ain't woith da time ta go find one." Jeanie scrubbed the plate trying to get something off it. "I'm a New Yawkah, I'll manage." She said with a strange tone for a 8 year old.
"Ya right, I'm soie you'll do foine" He looked at the scraps that were on a plate, just handed to Jeanie. "I mean ya gots a real job, in a woim place an' food."
"Take 'em if ya dat hungry." She said rolling her eyes. Ivan lunged at the plate and ate the scraps of food. "Wha? When was da last time ya ate?"
"Couple a days ago." Ivan said shrugging and eating more scraps.
"Whose he?" One of the waitress's asked, she couldn't be more then 15 but looked so old. Her dress was low cut and make up over made, giving her and aged look.
"A friend. Jus' eatn da scraps and woimen himself."
"He's gunna be cute." The waitress said kissing Ivan on the cheek and then pinching him on the same spot. "Don' change, Evah."
"Aww Rose." Jeanie said giggling. "Don' Embarrass the poi guiy!"
"Ohh he ya loveh?" Rose asked raising an eyebrow joking.
"Nah not foi a few yeahs!" She laughed, washing another plate in the scalding water.
"I should go get da next edition. I'll be back aftah!" Ivan said grabbing a piece of meat that was left and running out the back door.
Disclaimer: I don't own Ivan who is really Dutchy but I do own Rose and Jeanie.
Author's Notes. I'm working on making this a much longer and more detailed. Also I am having fun trying to elongate things and make it pretty! Yeah, I got inspiration because the first snow of the year was last night/morning. This one will be VERY sporadically updated, ie: when I have inspiration and I will be working on making regular updates on Petty, Forgive Me Father For I Have Sinned, and A Vice a Card.
Cards on:
Snow-
I HATE IT!!! ITS WHITE AND BRIGHT AND COLD AND FLUFFY!!!!!!!!!
