Chapter 4

Lily's heart started to pound. She now realized that the

Kid Blink all the newsies were talking about about was

her crush ; her Kid Blink!

Lily started to get tremendously nervous. Would he

remember her? She hoped so. Whenever she wasn't

think about the show, she was thinking about him. She

kept telling herself to let him go, but she couldn't. She

wouldn't.

" Everyone! Everyone! We have a new act for you

tonight! " the announcer began, " A singer! a wonderful

if I do say so myself! Let's give a warm welcome to

Miss Lily Sullivan! "



The crowd applauded nicely considering they had no

idea what to expect However, neither did the newsies,

but all of them stood up and their hearts out, all except

Blink. He didn't feel like it. He missed the girl of his

dreams.

He was looking down at his drink when he realized it.

" Lily's singin' ?! " Blink began to get nervous and

excited all at the same time! She was on his mind

since the moment she left him yesterday.

The music started, and LIly began to sing softly with

her eyes closed, and slowly opened them and looked

straight to Blink. Through the song their gaze never left.

Not until the last note was sung, and she had to

acknowledge the other audience members did she

take her eyes from him.



As Lily finished the last line the crowd went wild!

Everyone was yelling and whistling- she was receiving

a standing ovation!

She curtsied a few more times then looked back for

Blink, but he was gone. Lily's heart sank slightly but

thought nothing of it further ; she was going to have fun.
