Chapter 6- Strike!
The next morning I woke up in my normal bed. But, wait, it wasn't my normal bed. It was mush's. And that wasn't my alarm clock, it was Kloppman. I really HAD gone back in time! I jumped off the bunk and looked around. This is what I had been waiting for…Hot Half Naked Newsies! Woohoo!
After a few minutes of staring at Mush's lovely little six-pack, I remembered what day it was. The Strike.
"Hey Marie! You ready? We gotta get sellin!" Blink said as he pulled on his vest. "Yeah, I'm ready." Blink grabbed my hand and we headed out the door.
It took us a while to get to the Distribution center, we had stopped to meet up with Blink's friend David. When we were all together, we finnally got to the center.
To their surprise, several newsies were gathered around the center, sulking and cursing. "Hey Crazy, what's goin' on?" Blink asked, walking over to the commotion. "Dey jacked up da price, kid! I can't believe it! Dis is gunna kill me…"Crazy said, flopping down on the steps and burying his head in his hands. Blink's eye and David's eyes widened in shock. "How much did they jack up?" David asked with a worried tone in his voice.
"A tenth of a cent per paper," I said, sitting next to crazy. I wanted to tell them it would all be okay because they'd go on strike, but someone spoke before me.
"They jacked da prices, are we gunna take it? Are we just gunna let them treat us like trash? No! We's gunna Fight! Strike!" cried a voice from across the street in a park where several newsies had gathered. "Strike!"
this chapter wasn't as good as the others but bear with me folks, I'm very sick and I can't think straight today. More should come soon J!
