Daze's POV

Chapter 2

Selling with him

I got my fifty papers and saw Spring walking with Jack and Davey. I flashed her a thumbs up then went to follow Blink. I needed to do something to get his attention. I saw he was walking with Mush but I knew the two of them wouldn't sell together. You never sell with your best friend. Spring and I once had a lemonade stand and we almost rang each other's necks.

I speeded walked ahead of the two of them and tripped. My papers went everywhere. I heard someone running towards me. My plan was going perfectly. I looked up and saw Kid Blink standing there. Mush wasn't there anymore. He must have gone over to Bottle Alley.

"Ey Miss. Are you alright?" He asked me as he bent down to pick up my papers. I couldn't find enough words to answer his question. I locked eyes with his. I smiled at him and took my papers from his hands.

"I'm fine and I'm Daze." I said as he offered me his hand. I quickly stood up and brushed the dirt away from my clothes. There weren't too many electric washing machines in 1899 and these clothes needed to last.

"I'm Kid Blink. So you were with that goil earlier the one that Cowboy ran into." Blink said.

"Yup. That was me. So Blink, could you tell me where a good place to sell? It's my first day and a girl has to eat." I smiled a little wider as I talked to my dream man. I had this dream once that he was a pirate like Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Caribbean and he saved me from the dreaded pirate Morgan who was this sea hag who looked a lot this bitch at my school.

"Well, if youse would like youse could sell with me. I'll show you the ropes." Blink offered me.

"I don't know if I have what it takes to work with such a veteran newsie." I said jokingly.

"Well, a beautiful girl like you will have no problem." Kid Blink smiled. If you could see what was going on in my head at this exact moment. I was dying and crying tears of joy just because Kid Blink called me beautiful.

"Thanks." I said blushing. Oh no I'm becoming more and more like Spring. Blushing what is this tom foolery. Daze doesn't blush. Get it out of your head you don't blush!

"Well Daze, the first thing you need to know is Headlines don't sell papes. Newsies sell papes." He said with a smile. I knew that but I didn't say anything.

"Maybe you could show me." I smiled and battered my eyelashes a little. Oh, god I was so turning into Spring. It was scary.

"O' course." He walked a little away and began to echo the headlines. "Baby born with thee heads." A cry I had heard so often when I had Newsies on repeat on my Ipod. Oh how I long to show Blink, his music career after Newsies. A man approached Blink and brought his paper. He turned back to me and I gave a small clap. "Nows youse try."

"Okay, it may not go so well the first time." I said smiling. Taking my papers and moving to the other side of the street. "Inferno at Ellis Island, thousands flee for their lives." I yell out. The next few moments were crazy as men brought papes off of me left and right.

Blink's mouth just dropped as I walked away with only 60 papes left. "I know I am a total natural." I smiled at him.

"Youse done this before, right?" He said his jaw still on the ground.

"Nope. Just went with my gut feeling." It wasn't exactly a lie but it was enough of the truth for it to squeak by.

"You are amazing." He grinned as the two of us moved forward through out the streets of New York. "So why does Spring call you Daze?" He asked me.

"I really don't pay much attention to things." I said half witted. It was true. I had fallen asleep in more classes or doodled or written fan fictions about Kid Blink so many times I had lost count. My teachers really didn't like me that much.

"Youse seem pretty forced to me." He said wiping the sweat from his brow.

"That's only cause you're here to guide me." I said doing the same thing. God, it was hot and these boots were killing my feet.

"Well, Daze, youse are a very good student." He said before we continued to sell together.

A few hours past, as the day dwindled away, I had sold my last paper and he only had a few left. I knew he wasn't the most famous newsie in this movie but Kid Blink had a pretty big following. I, of course, was the president of said fan club which was pretty popular on Tumblr. Oh, if my followers could see me now.

"Thanks sir." He said as the man handed him the penny and went on his way. "So Daze, youse beat me today. So I wants to reward you." He said removing his hat.

"Aww, I don't need a reward." I said with a sly smile. I was hoping, praying that the reward was kiss or a marriage proposal.

"Yes, youse do. Lets go." He said grabbing my hand and pulling me towards Tibby's. "I'll buy ya dinner." He grinned as he held the door open for me.

"Why thank you." Well dinner wasn't kiss but it was the start of something beautiful. I hoped. I just hoped Spring was having the time of her life with Jack.

So here is Chapter two of Where are we? I know it is short but like I said before the fun is just beginning. Don't forget to review. - Sarah
