Chapter Three
Bash- "Ow" bash- "Ow"
Blink turned around and sat on his bunk again, bashing his head on the wall wasn't helping, it was just making his headache worse...but what on earth was up with him? She was so...so...so Sarah! He felt so sick thinking about it but he just could not ignore the feeling inside him, argh, the feeling inside him? He was scaring himself! Why had this happened, something had gone wrong in his mind...and what if Jack found out? He'd soak him for sure, and despite what he tried to tell the others, that really scared him, the fact was that he could not throw a punch, his punches were well known for being the girliest punches anywhere! Jack would laugh in his face! No, he had to find someone intelligent...he needed an intelligent Newsie (cue laughing from all directions) well...there must be one somewhere, had had to go and search for one.
He walked out of the lodging house door, still thinking of newsies who could have a brain stored somewhere, of course it was rumoured that Davey had one, he'd try him first. Spot Conlon also seemed to have one, but he was scary-and he had those eyes! He'd have to be a last option. Whilst lost in his own thoughts he walked straight into Dutchy,
"Hey Blink, how's it goin'? Blink, Blink, why're you lookin' at me like dat?"
Blink was staring at Dutchy critically,
"Nope, too blond" said Blink, "hey, what am I sayin'? I'm blond! Actually, that's a good point"
"Too blond for what Blink? Hey, what's up wit bein' blond? Remembah, blond babes togetah!"
"Nevah mind Dutch" said Blink, and he walked off, leaving Dutchy standing with his head on one side, looking confused.
He returned to his thoughts, the problem was that he didn't just need to find someone that was intelligent, it had to be someone he could trust as well. This was getting worse by the minute, he decided to go and see Davey. Ten minutes later he was standing outside the Jacobs apartment knocking on the door, he was sure he could hear voices from inside. He pressed his ear to the door; he could hear male voices.
"Just ignore it Davey", came a familiar voice
"I can't, it might be important"
"But aren't I important?"
"Of course you are but what if it's someone who wants to consult my super brain about their problems?"
"Oh Davey I love it when you talk powerful like that"
"Look Denton, just slip out the window, I have to answer that, I'll be there in a minute" he shouted.
Blink heard more shuffling, then a window close, he felt sick, Denton? They had always had their suspicions but this was unbelievable. The door opened,
"Blink? What brings you here?" Davey looked slightly uncomfortable
"You gotta help me Davey, I need you" burst out Blink
"Oh" he winked! "Well in that case come in and let the walking mouth sort you out"
Blink was too upset and confused to take in this comment and he just followed Davey inside
"Take a seat and tell me all about it" said Davey
"Well it's...it's hard to explain, I have feelings for someone that I shouldn't, if you know what I mean"
"Look Blink, that's enough talking, I have these feelings too, I have for a long time, how I've longed to hold you!"
"WHAT?" Shrieked Blink, he fell backwards off his chair in an attempt to avoid Davey's lunge towards him.
"It's okay, I feel the same way"
"I love Sarah" was all Davey heard of Blink's reply to this as the door slammed behind him.
