A New Year 1792

[Hannah]

That "boy" however, is me. I hear people run behind me and quickly dive into a crowd of people.
I am pretty skinny and my hair is hidden underneath a hat, so I guess it is not so weird that people mistake me for a boy.

I know Bombay very well, living on the streets all my life. My parents are wheelmakers and I help them out at times. Though, I do not go to school. Mainly because the only schools around here are for people who can pay for it or are upperclass. My mum tought me to read (a little) and write (a.. little).

Well anyways. At the moment I am running through the place, searching for some alley to dissapear in.

I stare behind in horror and then glance at the girl talking to me.. "Yes.. goodness.." I hold my head a little "Bloody natives."

[Jacky]

I witnessed the scene, and truth to be told, I can't avoid chuckling. Let's face it, most of these girls enjoy an education higher than avarage, but they're still as dumb as an ass. Or worse, in cases of Madisol-like types.

While running, I open the bag and look what is inside of it. There is not much, but I will be able to buy some food with it, so it will be enough and it was truely worth to steal it.

[Daz]

I sigh, now my books are gone and my money is gone and that means Ill have to deal with it myself. Theres no way I can tell my father.
I look aside to the girl again, red hair.. thin. Quite pretty. Ive seen her around but never really spoken to her before..
"What's your name?"

[Jacky]

I put my bag over my other shoulder, and I decide to take another path to the market. I head of in the direction where that boy disappeared. Curious on whether that one girl's servant found him or not. Besides, I'm not in a hurry to get anywhere so why not?

[Jacksblackpearl]

I make a little bow, holding my dress, bending though my knees as proper ladies should do 'Giselle Greenland' I say and I watch my servant come back emptyhanded..
"I'm sorry miss, the boy was too handy and got away..'
I nod and look at the girl whom's bag wad stolen 'What is your name ? Are you going to tell an officer what happened?"

[Hannah]

Finally I find an alley close to the market and step into the shadows of one of the houses, hoping none will see me here.
I find some money in the bag and put it into my pocket after counting it.

[Jacky]

On my way towards the market I see that servant passing by so I figure the boy didn't get caught. Good for him. I know those thoughts are not what I should be thinking but.. I don't know. I know some Indian kids, since I spend so much time on the streets rather than in school or at home. Some of them are really poor so I figure it's not so bad if they rob someone. Sometimes.
My parents would get a heartattack to know these thoughts of mine though. So I keep shush about it.

[Hannah]

I walk out of the shadows, once I plundered the bag, dropping it behind one of the market stands. I walk through the market, greeting some people when I know them.
I should buy some fruit, now I have the money. As I walk, I look for nice food, selecting it carefully.
