"Baby born with no headses!" a dark haired newsies with a uniquely styled
hat shouted.
"Heya, Specs!" Kid Blink said as he approached the newsie.
Specs was caught quite off guard by this. Kid Blink was part of the "popular" crowd and Specs, well; Specs did not have any friends. Before the strike he and Dutchy had been the best of friends, especially since they almost went to Hull High School together, but once the strike started, Dutchy had become better friends with Pie Eater, leaving Specs friendless. Now, with Blink talking to him, Specs thought he finally had a chance at popularity. "Heya, Kid Blink!" Specs said grinning like a fiend.
"Uh, has you seen Blind Dymond 'round 'ere?" Blink asked, scanning the crowd of busy morning people.
Startled, Specs started looking through the crowd in a maddened manner but finally concluded, "Sorry, Kid Blink, I'se haven't seen 'er."
"Oh, well I's----Oh! Der she is!" and with that Blink went running off.
"Bye, Kid Blink" Specs hollered after him.
Kid Blink had caught up with a girl, wrapped his arms around her waist and swung her around. She hit him, non-playfully, on the shoulder, "Kid! Why did ya do dat! I'se almost had a pape sold an' ya ruined it!"
"Hey, I'm sorry goil!" He kissed her but she pushed him away, still chafed. She walked away shouting headlines. "Aww, what's da matter, goil?" He new there was trouble now so he regrettably strolled up to her. "I'm really sorry, baby. Lemme make it up tah ya. Why dontcha come tah Irving Hall wit me, Damon Eugene Butler, and David tahnight."
"Blink! Yer always spendin' more time wit Damon and David den wit me!"
"Dat's Damon Eugene Butler." Blink mumbled correctively.
"Uhhhhhhh! I can't stand it! Leave me alone!" and she stormed off down the street. He let her go because he knew he needed to go play with Damon Eugene Butler and David.
