Pixie: I'll try to update at least a chapter a day if I can and thanks for the review.
I was walking down 3rd Street when two grumbling men past me. "That boy lied about the headline." Said the first. "There was no large commotion." "What are kids coming to these days? No respect, the whole lot of them." Said the second. The first nodded in agreement. Walking a little further I see the boy the two men were speaking of. "Large commotion on Ellis Island with Irish Immigrants." Two men buy a paper from the boy. "Liar." I said coming up behind him. He turned around to face me. He had dirty blond hair, a blue eye, because a patch covered the left, and was only a few years older than myself. "Watcha ya mean by dat?" He asked a little surprised. "I mean, I heard two guys say that there was no large commotion." "'Eally?" "Yes." "Ya ain't gonna snitch, are ya?" "No, in fact I am going to buy ten papers please." "Ten papes?" I nodded. "If I be a liar, den why ten papes." "My father and neighbor need them for their offices." "Oh." He handed me my ten papers and I handed him the two nickels in my pocket. I looked at the stack of papers in his hand. "How are the headlines this morning?" "Honestly, no good." "So why so many papers?" "Not all of 'em are mine. Me friend Dutchy is sick so I be helpin' 'im out." "That is really nice of you." "Yeah?" I nodded. "By de way, de names Kid Blink, but me friends call me Blink." "Well Blink, my name is Jennifer, but I prefer Jenny." "Nice ta meetch ya." "You too. Would you like some help?" "Sure." He handed me a stack of papers. I listen to him yell headlines and a few people stop and but papers. I was taught not to lie, so I figured the truth could not hurt. I walked over to a man and women walking hand in hand. "Excuse me, I am helping out a friend of mine sell some extra papers because our friend is sick and we want him to buy medicine for him so I was wondering if you like to buy a paper?" "Sure kid." Said the man pulling change from his pocket. "Dear, by two papers. You can give the other to your father. The poor man is so old that he can not get out of bed." "I don't have two pennies." Said the man looking at the change in his pocket. "Dear give her a nickel and let her keep the change." Said the women. "I've got the." "No, don't worry about it kid." He said handing me the nickel. I took two papers from my stack and handed it to him. "Thank you sir, ma'am and I hope you have a good day." I said running off. I had sold ten papers when I realized all I had left in my hands were the ones I bought. I begin to look around for Kid Blink. When I found him he held ten papers in his hands. "Ya done already?" He asked me a little surprised. ""Yeah, here." I said handing him the money from my pocket. "You even got some tips from some people." Blink counted and nodded in agreement. He hand eighteen cents when should only of had ten. "'ere." He held out a nickel to me. "I couldn't, it's your money." Blink took my hand and placed the nickel in it. Then he closed my fingers around it tightly. "Ya earned et." I smiled and he smiled back. "I'll meet you hear again tomorrow?" I asked. "Ok." I watched him walk off to sell his last papers then turned and hurried home. I dropped off the five papers to Mr. Shuma before going to face my family once again. He gave me my three pennies and a thank you before heading in to get ready for his customers. I wonder into my home slowly and as quietly as possible. I am not in to mood to face either Mr. Or Mrs. Brown at the moment. I left the papers in the lobby and went up into my room. All day I found myself thinking of that newsboy, Kid Blink. I don't understand why my thoughts kept going to him. All I thought about was seeing him again and I fell asleep to that thought.
