Chapter 6
As weeks went by (yes, weeks!), Loops cycled her life around Swifty, following him around and selling papers with him, or just gazing at him from a distance. The Manhattan newsies blamed everything on Swifty, which was the ultimate depression for everyone. The rest of the Brooklyn gang stayed in Brooklyn, trying to cheer Skip up. They too started to believe that Loops was in love with Swifty. All in all, the only happy person in New York was Loops.
"Oh Osc… Swifty! Da streets are alive wit da sound'a us in love! Don't you agree? We're so great for each other! You're happy, I'm happy, everyone is happy!"
Swifty rolled his eyes, for probably the millionth time that day, and stated, "Of course."
Loops linked arms with Swifty as they sold papers together.
Oscar had been keeping away from Loops, fearing that perhaps she might do something if she saw him. Unfortunately, for him at least, he was spotted. "Oscar!" Swifty exclaimed when he saw the boy heading back to his house.
Oscar looked from left to right, trying to decide whether to hide or… hide. "Uh… ay, uh, Swifty… what's, uh… new?"
Swifty's eyes got big. "You'se wouldn't mind keepin' an eye on Loops fa a bit would ya?" Before Oscar could retort, Swifty had linked the two together and dashed down the street, yelling back, "Tanks a lot pal!"
Oscar was confused. "Pal?" he whispered. He shook his head, realizing that he was linked with the girl…
"Osc… Swi… Osca… uhh… Swif…" Loops shook her head and stumbled along, trying to decide what to do.
"Swifty." Oscar patted the girl's hand. "SWIFTY! Not me!" He tried pulling away, but Loops held tight to him. "Uh…"
"I know!" Loops exclaimed, "You're Swifty!"
"Uh… or not." Oscar was getting antsy, realizing that there were people walking past who might hear or see them. He tugged away from Loops, causing her to lose her balance.
As he dashed away, he didn't see someone catch Loops in the nick of time, someone who had been listening to the two talk… Jack. "I knew sumpin' was up."
More to come!!!!!
