"You're finally awake. Snoddy said that he and Dutchy would sell your papes
for ya today," I said entering the bunkroom.
"Oh. Um, tanks. Listen, I know dat you and I haven't exactly gotten along."
He paused, trying to find the right words, "but I'm willing to put dat all behind
us, if you are?"
I thought about it for a moment and then stuck out my hand. "Hi, I'm Sara Davis,
and you are?"
He smiled, "I'se Jack Kelly leader of da Manhattan Newsies." We shook
hands.
"Well, it's nice to meet you Jack. I don't have a place to stay at, do you happen
to know of a nice place that's not too expensive?"
"Yeah I do, I could take you dere later today if ya wants."
"That'd be great. Since it's almost lunchtime do you feel like going to Tibby's
with me, or I could bring you back something since you probably feel pretty lousy,"
I rambled.
He stood up, "naw I'm feeling better and besides since I am da leader I need to make
sure me boys ain't getting into any trouble," he chuckled.
We entered Tibby's and sat down at a booth occupied with Race, Blink and Mush.
I saw Snoddy at another booth and waved. He motioned for me to join him. I excused myself from the booth and sat down across from him. "That looks good, I think I'll
have what you're eating."
"Is everything ok?" Snoddy looked like he had something troubling him.
He ignored my question; "you and Jack made up." It was more of a statement than a
question.
"Yeah, we kind of did," I smiled. "Why does that bother you?"
"No, it just seems kind of strange to me, that he couldn't stand you before and now
all of a sudden he's being all nice to ya."
I just gave him a look, "well it's not like were best friends are anything, but it least
he did apologize."
"Yeah, you're probably right, I'm sure it's nothing," he replied.
But still, something is just not adding up here. I'm gonna have a talk with Jack later
about all this.
Authors note: Sorry this chapter is so short, I promise the next one will be
much longer. And sorry to all of you Jack fans, but things are gonna get even
more uglier between him and Sara later on in the story. Don't hate me to
much :)
