They got up like they did everyday. At dawn; the sun blinding them through
the dusty old windows. They sang their song as they got up to deliver the
morning news, "...It's a fine life, carryin' the banner through it all..."
They sang in unison. Jack was the first one up, which rarely happened, and
he decided to start waking everyone up. However, one did not get up, but
stayed in bed contemplating what had happened the previous day.
"Blink, ya hafta get up ya know!", yelled Racetrack from the washroom.
"You'se okay, buddy?" Said Jack, as he came over and sat on the edge of Kid Blink's bed.
"I'm fine, just thinkin' thats all!" Kid Blink yelled in a soft manner. However, deep down he wasn't ok. In his head, he thought, "Everything was just fine and she just dumped me on the spot..."
Jack sighed and said, "Look. I'se ain't blind! She dumped you; It hurts, but she wasn't worth it!"
Kid Blink arose from his lying position, outraged, but knew Jack was right. "Jack, you better know what you'se saying! We'se might get back togedda and you'se gonna
be wishin' you didn't say that!" Blink was almost close to crying, but the anger in his eyes covered it up.
"Blink, listen to me alrite! It's ova! I know you loved her and she loved you, but she left! She's gone now!"
Kid Blink finally realized Jack was right. "You'se right Jack. I'm sorry. I'm just hoit you know?"
Jack reflected on the day he broke up with Sarah, "Yeah. I know Blink... Now get your butt outta' bed and get ready!"
So they got ready and left the Boarding House, singing and dancing, ready for a new day.
ABIGAIL'S POV (sorta)
"Father, I'm quite all right! I'm 16 years old! I can live by myself!" Abigail was already getting annoyed with her father as they approached the train station.
"If you can, try and write me as soon as you get there!" Her father said.
"Yes...I will father." Abigail pretended to be listening as she admired some wealthy boys boarding the train.
"And darling..." Her father said as she was boarding the train, "maybe you could meet some wealthy young man who will..."
"I'm not planning on marrying now!", Abigail interrupted her father, for she knew what he was already going to ask her.
"You need to meet a man, Alexis!" Her father called her by her middle name when he wanted her to agree. "I need a son-in-law before I..." Her father put on his
sympathetic look and started to cry.
"Father, please stop crying! You know I hate when you do that! You know you're not going to die anytime soon!"
Her father looked deep into her sympathetic brown eyes, so Abigail had to give in.
"Ok father. I will look for a man." Abigail said in a sarcastic tone; she wanted him to stop crying.
Her father looked up at her and smiled.
She boarded the train and waved good-bye to her father. She finally sat down and sighed. While staring out the window, she secretly hoped she would meet a guy. It had
been one year since she was with Josh, her old, serious boyfriend. She was ready for a new romance. She settled down and drifted off to sleep as she was slowly heading
down towards her new home: Manhattan.
