The buzzer on her alarm clock rang at 6:00 and she got up and got ready. She blow dried her hair and straightened it, then curled it. She grabbed her cell phone, makeup, and everything else and put it in her messenger bag and ran out the door. She got to the book store right at 8 and met Kyle inside. Kyle told her what she was to do, which was to stock these books that they just found in an old abandoned wherehouse in Brooklyn. Kyle also gave her a few coins, which would equal 50 dollars in the beginning of the century, but were worthless now. She said thank you and got to work. She was looking through the books while she was stocking them and came to one that read Diary. She opened it up and read the first page.
Deer Diary (sounds corny huh?)
Well Justine gave this ta me for me bird day. So i'se decided i'se should write in dis. Well there was really good headlines ta day. I went ta Manhatn ta vist' Jack and da fellas. They've had it pretty hard since Janet left. Theyse don't know why she did. She just kinda vanished, Blink is missin her specially, and I thinks that was the only person he truly loved. Well hopefully she's will come back. uh well the rest of the time in Manhatn was fine, I'se got to see Dandy, boy do I love 'er, but ise cant tell 'er dat it would ruin my image...well they boys are coming now.
Spot the infamous leader
Janet read a few more entries and went and asked Kyle something.
"Hey Kyle, I found this diary, about this guy named Spot and the leader of something? Do you know what this is all about?"
"Hmm...let me take a look." Kyle said while taking the book. "Oh I see, I believe he was a newsie." Kyle said, and Janet just stared at him blankly. "A newsie was a boy who sold newspapers for a living in the late 1800's and 1900's, they had very little money and most boys stayed at a lodging house."
Janet looked at him with fascination, she was very interested in learning more about this time period and what they did for fun.
"Can I buy this diary?" Janet asked.
"No, just take it, im sure no one will miss it." Janet said thanks and went back to work.
The next time she walked back out she noticed someone behind the counter checking people out. She walked up to him and noticed who it was.
"You! Ha-ha I mean hi do you work here?" Janet said nervously to Charlie.
"Yeah for about 3 years now, I see you're the girl Kyle just hired." Charlie said. Janet nodded and told him that she has to go ask Kyle a question and then get back to work.
