Chapter 5- So, where do I sleep?
It was about 8:00 and I was on the rooftop of the Duane street lodging house.
I had been playing poker with the newsies but I finnally snuck away.
I gazed out into the city. I couldn't believe all that had happened to me in this one day.
How could I have possibly traveled back in time through a diary?
That brought up an even more interesting question: How will I get back?
"Hey," said a voice from behind me. I jumped up then, seeing who it was, sighed. "Hi blink"
I sat back down. "Did ya have fun sellin wid me taday?" he asked, sitting beside me.
I grinned. Blink looked out into the city. "It's nice up heah. Sometimes, i's come up heahs too." he said.
I looked back out. "Yeah, seeing the city from a different point of veiw."
We sat in scilence for a few minutes.
"Blink...Thanks"
"Hey! it's gettin late, you's guys gonna toin in?" called Mush, from the top of the stairs.
"Yeah" blink said. "I need's da rest." Boy did he. tomorrow a newsie strike would take place.
We stood up and went back into the Bunkroom.
"So, where do I sleep?" I asked, looking around at the boy's bunks. "I dunno, we don have any spare bunks dis time a da yeah..." Blink said.
Mush grinned and came up behind us. "She c'n stay in my bunk t'night," he said, smiling. "Alright mush, but dat meens yous is on da floor." blink said.
Mush frowned and muttered something about never getting a chance with a girl.
I smiled, and climbed up onto the bunk. this was the coolest day of my life.
