Author's Note:
That is it; I am done with all finals and all state test. I will start to update almost every day again, like I was with the first four chapters. Well here is the net section of the story and I hope you like it. Also if you see any * cough * throughout the story, it is Jenny.
Arriving downstairs Mrs. Brown told me to work at the desk. Dylan went to tell her that I needed to be checked out, but she began to talk to one of the customers. "Excuse me." Said a chubby lady.
"How may I help you?" * cough * She eyed me suspiciously.
"It is about time, my name is * cough * Janice Woods and my daughter Katherine Woods has * cough * an appointment." * cough *
"Ok * cough, cough * ma'am, somebody will be with you * cough, cough * in a few minutes." I smiled at her.
"Good." Said the women pressing her lips tightly together. When she turned around I rolled my eyes. I've always hated snobby ladies like her, who think they are better than everybody else because they are richer. However, I've always dealt with them, considering my father is a very famous doctor in New York and many rich people come to see him. *cough, cough, cough *
The rest of the afternoon went by in a blur. Around noon my head began to spin and feel as if it weighed fifty pounds. I was sweating sometimes and freezing the next. My cough got raspy and my throat was sore. I had a hard time talking and kept dropping things. By two o'clock we were so backed up, complaints could be heard from almost every higher- class person. The few lower class people that were there stood silently waiting for their turn to come. "Come on girl." Said a woman.
"Yes, what is taking so long?" Added another.
"I'm * cough, cough, cough * so * cough, cough * sorry." I said from the floor cleaning up the stack of papers I had dropped on the floor. * cough, cough *
Mrs. Brown came out from one of the rooms. "Jennifer, what is going on here?"
"I * cough, cough * dropped *cough, cough, cough * these papers and * cough * I was * cough, cough * I was." I began to cough nonstop as Mrs. Brown looked me up and down.
"THOMAS, THOMAS." She yelled. I was pale as a ghost and sweat covered my face. Dr. Brown came out of the room as quick as possible, followed by Dylan.
"What is it?" He took one look at her and then me. "Dear God, help me get her upstairs and quickly. Dylan straighten things out here." I could feel my body being picked up, but that was the last thing I remember.
The next day was beautiful. Blink and Dutchy walked to the spot where he was to meet me. "Ya 'eally excited ta see dis girl?" Dutchy asked with a small smirk. Like all the Newsies at the boarding house, he had heard so much about me. All would agree that Blink was definitely head over heals in love with me.
"Jist wait Dutchy, yer gonna lover 'er. She is perfect." Blink said with a far off look in his eyes.
"If she anydin' like ya said she is den I know I'm gonna love 'er. All da boys will and believe me dey all 'eally excited to me 'er considerin' she's all ya can talk about dese days." Blink gave Dutchy a friendly punch in the arm.
"Can I 'elp I'm in love wid dis girl?" Dutchy shook his head no as he yelled out a headline and sold two papers.
When they finally reaches the spot where they were going to meet a few of Blinks and my, now regular customers, showed up. Some asked about me and Blink said I was running late this morning. Little did he know I would not show up that day or the next or the following day. After a week Blink was truly getting worried. Something must have happened to 'er, but what. Blink thought to himself.
Not only did he worry about me a lot, but some of the guys gave him a hard time by making jokes about how I wasn't real. "So Blink, how is dat imaginary girl frien'" Asked Snipshooter.
"Snipe, I am not kiddin' lay off or I'll soak ya." Blink said, his voice rising slightly.
"Come on Blink, ya know were jist playin' wit ya." Said Racetrack.
"Lay off 'em guys." Said Jack. Last couple of days Jack has been as depressed as Blink.
"What's wit ya two dese last few days?" Asked Bumlets.
"Yeah, we know Blink is worried about dis girl, but what about you Jack?" Asked Mush.
"It's nuttin'." Said Jack.
"Jack, we know it's somedin', I mean ya jist don't get like dis over nuttin'." Said Specs.
"I said it was nuttin'." Yelled Jack. Jack stormed out the window and on to the fire escape. He hated yelling at his friends, but he was just not in the mood to be around them with all their game and laughter.
On the roof he noticed another figure. "Blink."
"Hiya Jack." He said.
"When did ya sneak out?"
"Sometime when Bumlets was talkin'. I needed ta dink on me own for a while. You?"
"I yelled and needed to be on my own too." Both sat in silence for a long time. Blink looked up at the moon. "What she like?"
"What?" Asked Blink coming back into reality.
"What she like, dis girl you's in love wit?"
"Oh, she's beautiful and kind." Blink said with a dreamy look in his eyes. "'er 'air is a dark brown and 'er eyes are a dark blue, but sparkle like de moonligh'."
"Ya 'eally love 'er?"
"Yeah, dere's somedin about 'er, I don't understan', it jist like she's got some spell cast on me."
"Dat is one of dere many gifts and mystery's." Said Jack smiling. He had been with a few women, but he still has not found that one girl. "If dis girl is everydin' ya say she is, don't let 'er go." He gave Blink a pat on the back, before heading back down the fire escape.
Blink looked at the moon for a while. It's light, lighting up half his face. He stood up knowing what he had to do.
