Chapter 2
It took Skye a couple of weeks to get everything in order for her to leave the factory and to move to the Lodging House. She got all of her things together and said goodbye to her friends and left. She was nervous about going that he wouldn't remember her or that maybe she might end up with a broken heart, but she was willing to take that risk. Skye walked for a couple of blocks and came to the Newsie Lodging House. She walked up the steps and knocked on the door.
Kidblink had been somewhat out of sorts since he bumped into that girl in the marketplace. Now every time he walked around there he kept his eye open to see if he could find her. Kidblink was relaxing and talking with his bestfriend, Mush and his other friend Bumlets. He was listening to a story from Mush, when he heard a knock on the door. He got up to go get it, and got the shock of his life.
Skye was shocked beyond all belief. There was the boy that she had thought about for the past two weeks. She couldn't believe it. "H-h-i-i Skye, what's ya doin' here?" "I'se heard dat there's was room here for another newsie, so I'se came." "You'se a newsie?" "Yeah, I'se a newsie now." "Uh, come in." Skye walked in behind Kidblink. She was so excited. She heard that there was room, but she also heard that there were no girls here. Not that they weren't welcome, but not many girls were newsies. Skye walked into the lobby behind Kidblink to see a bunch of other boys. Kidblink started to introduce them. "Um, this is Mush." He said, pointing to a boy with dark hair, and tanned skin. "And this is Bumlets," he said pointing to a boy with black hair. "This is Specs." He said referring to a boy wearing a black top hat. Skye didn't hear the rest; she was too busy listening to Kidblink's voice.
Kidblink finished introducing Skye to the boys; he took her upstairs to the bunkroom to show her the bed that she would use. It was right next to his. He was going to like this. He already liked her, even though he didn't know her that well. "So, uh you'se can get unpacked, and I'se will see ya later." He said as he started to walk out the door. "Uh, Kidblink, uh I'se obviously never been a newsie before, so I'se was wonderin', will ya be helpin' me out tomorrow?" Kidblink had never been happier. He would love to help her. He already knew that he was going to like her a lot, and that spending time with her would be lots of fun.
Skye couldn't believe that she had just said that. She didn't know what was the matter with her. Every time she was around this guy, she would end up saying something really bold that she wouldn't have said otherwise. Kidblink left the room. She knew that she was going to love living here, even if she was the only girl. She knew that she would never run out of friends, or that she would be lonely. If she knew the male species like she thought that she did, then she should be just fine.
