Brooklyn

"So Tink we've talked about me what about you," Jay asked smiling at the brown-eyed girl next to him.

"There's not a whole lot to say… I'se been at St. Mary's orphanage since I was seven then I ran away and found Spot and now I'se walking out on the docks with a nice, cute, sweet boy named Jay." She looked at him and he looked back at her. Their eyes met not wavering from one another. His soft blue eyes on her honey colored ones.

A shiver shot down her spine when she felt his fingers slowly slide down her bare arm causing tiny goose bumps to form. With their eyes still locked onto one another he slowly bent down his eyes wandering from hers down to her lips, looking at them almost as if he could taste them already.

"Hey you two, wheah ya been, I'se been lookin' all ovah for yous." Spot lied and jumped from out of the shadows. Truth was he was just sitting on his crate smoking and thinking about the whole Sly situation it just didn't make sense to him, then Tink and Jay stroll up. Jay was getting to close to Tink, not that he thought Jay was a bad guy but just didnt want Tink getting hurt. She was like a little sister to him, even though it had only been a day since he had known he it was just something about the girl , something that reminded him of … him.

Jay immediately pulled away from Tink and tried to look inconspicuous. Tink rolled her eyes and turned toward Spot with a not so happy look on her face.

"Hello Spot, great timing." Tink stated sarcastically. Every time I get close to Jay something happens an' I think I'se just gonna take matters inta me own hands soon. She looked at Jay hoping Spot would leave.

"Jay I'se gotta talk wit ya 'bout something." Again they both looked at her.

"Fine, again I'll just walk away all by my self and go into the warehouse all by my self talk to myself all by my self." She rambled as she left them behind still talking to herself about being all by herself. Jay smiled and melted into a dreamy gaze. She's amazing he thought watching her hips sway from side to side all the way through the door and out of site.

"Hey Romeo! Concentrate I gots important buissness for ya ta take care of Jay. Listin, when I got ta Hawk Sly was already dere, I don't know why but hes startin trouble wit Brooklyn. I want to know whos he got on his side, how many, where they live, where they eat, where they sleep, everything, Ya got it!"

"Yea I got it." Jay nodded and ran off into the night leaving Spot alone on the docks with his thoughts. He slowly brought the cigarette up to his lips and puffed blowing out the smoke. Deys gonna pay fer messin' wit Brooklyn. With that thought he tossed the cigarette down on the docks and flattened it with the toe of his warn out shoe.

Manhattan

After the girls had, had their share of talking, giggling, and making fun of almost every newsie they could think of they finally turned off the lights and went right to sleep. Everyone had , everyone except Gemini.

Gemini sat in her bed thinking of Jack, then thinking of Sara, then of Mush. The cycle kept rolling around in her mind. Jack would say he loved her but spent his time with Sara, and Sara was his girl friend, and when Gem got shot down or depressed thinking about that, there was Mush picking up the pieces and putting them back together for her.

She let out a sigh and hit her pillow with her fist. She had to make a decision be Jack's skank and shut up about Sara, or to give Jack an ultimatum and say either it was going to be Sara or her.

            She felt a headache coming on and the deep subconscious craving for a cigarette. Gem crept out of bed making as little sound as possible and walked over to the window climbing out and down the fire escape. Once her feet were on the ground she pulled out her cigarette, The last one, she thought bitterly as she lit the end and inhaled feeling a great relaxation settle in. Once the cigarette was gone she tossed the end on the ground and crushed it with the toe of her shoe and slid down the brick wall running her fingers through her curls as she did.

             She finally made up her mind and promised herself to confront Jack tomorrow right now she needed sleep. Gemini glanced up at the fire escape and the open window. She didn't feel like climbing back up to her bed, so she didn't. That night she slept peacefully outside of the lodging house the same way she did the first nigh she had run away from Crooks. Her last conscious thought was of Crooks and his yellow golden eyes glowing dimly with the same accusing look he gave her when he was disappointed with something she had done, that look had meant punishment. The image faded and she fell asleep listing to the drip drop of a near by gutter drain.

            "Pixie! Wake up time ta sell!" Snipeshooter awoke the sleeping girl as gently as possible, shaking her shoulders as he talked in a hushed tone.

            "Go away!" She yelled and shoved the pillow in his face. Pixie, he found out was not a morning person. Jack had asked for a volunteer to wake up the girls, Kloopmen left early that morning leaving Jack in charge of waking people up, and Jack himself not being a morning person delightfully delegated this task to him.

            "Yea we'se trying to Sleep!" Dice added and through a pillow at him. Hawk liked getting up the morning. She laughed at Snipeshooter as he continued to try to awaken the girls. She rubbed her eyes and looked around the room. Pixie was now shoving Snipeshooter away now and Dice was yelling at him to get out of the room, and Gem… Hawk looked around at all the bunks…where is Gem!

            She looked over at the open window and realized Gem must have taken off after they had all gone to sleep. Hopefully she didn't get to far, Hawk decided that if no one saw Gem by lunchtime that she would have to tell someone. In the meantime her thoughts were mostly occupied by Spot and Sly, and not that she would ever admit it to anyone but she was scared shit less of Sly, the mere thought of him made a shiver crawl down her spine.

            Hawk made her way to the washroom forcing the thoughts of both boys out of her head and concentrated on the cold water dripping over her head.

            Gemini woke when she realized something was proding her. She looked up at the un lucky individual who decided to wake her up.

            "Excuse me what da heck is your problem cant ya see I'se sleepin here!" She yelled her vision still a little blurry.

            "Dis is da second time I'se had ta wake yous up Gemini, are yous thinking 'bout making a pormanent residence out hear or somthin'?" She recognized the unforgettable features of the one the only Spot Conlon.

            "I thought you lived in Brooklyn? Ya know one might mistake you for a Manhattener seein as to how yous is always here."

            "I'se only here ta wake yous up sweetheart." He said in a surupy voice. She swatted at him but he was too fast and evaded her reach.

            "So whears Jack?" he asked knowing that by this time the guys were usually fileing out and heading down to the distribution office.

            "Don't know and quite frankly I don't care right now." She got off the ground dusted off her pants, and ran her fingers through her hair at an attempt to fix her self up. Spot smiled inwardly. It was a well-known fact that Gemini was the object of most of the single newsies affection, in Manhattan and Brooklyn and prolly everywhere else. She was a sweet good-looking girl who flirted with basically everyone, and everyone got along with her. Spot looked at her and smirked, she did live up to the rumors though, but of course it was a also a well known fact that Jack had threatened everyone within an inch of their lives not to touch her. At least everyone one knew he did this but her and Sara. Spot could see future problems arising in this kind of situation.

            "Well I'se going ta go see what deys up to, ya coming?" he asked.

            "Naw if anyone askes, and not dat dey will, tell dem I'se down getting me papes all ready." She gave him one last flirtatious smile as she flipped her reddish gold curls over her should and sauntered away.

            Gem was sitting on the walk way flipping through that mornings paper, when everyone stared coming through the gates, most of them were running, being as late as they all were.

            "Hey Gem," Mush greeted with a smile as he got in line. Jack was right behind him.

            "Where were you dis morning?" Jack asked.

            "I slept outside," Gem retorted not looking up at him, afraid that if she did she might loose the nerve to confront him.

            "Why?" Mush and Jack asked simultaneously.

            "It aint either of yours businesses." They stood slient for while till Gem finally broke the slience "Hey Jack can I sell with you today?" Mush looked down at the curly haired girl feeling hurt, and wanted to punch Jack.

            "Sure thing Gem, let me get my papes den we'll go." Jacks ego shot up, it had been a while since Gem had wanted to sell with him, and in most cases he had to ask her, this was good, he thought foolishly.

            Mush realized that maybe Gem going with Jack was a good thing, she would realize he was a jerk and come to him, and of course he'd be there with open arms. He smiled to himself, and in the meantime he could go visit Jenny, who was more commonly known as Truth to the other newsies. Truth lived in Midtown and was one of Mush's good friends. He thought some more and realized he hadn't seen her in almost a week and a half. He had missed talking with her and seeing her bright smile. This made him content as he started out the gates and called a headline.
