We got to the distribution center, and the newsies started buying their papes. KidBlink was showing me around, and introducing me to everyone. There were so many of them, it was hard to remember all of their names!
I was standing in line with KidBlink to get our papes. He was so cute! And really nice and sweet to me, too. I already had a major crush on him. But enough of my mindless babbling.
When our turn came, Blink gave the 50 cents to the dude that was selling the newspapers to the newsies (I later found out that his name was Mr. Wiesel, but the newsies just called him Weasel). Blink asked for 100 papes, and when he got them he gave me about half to carry and sell.
We sat down on the edge of the platform and looked through a pape to see what the stories were like today. When Spot with Jack, and both Races came over we started discussing what was to be done today.
"Well," Blink said, "Us three," he meant himself, their Race, and Jack, "should each take one of da goils," he smiled at me, and I gave him a grin in return, "and show 'em around, how ta sell and wuteva."
Jack nodded. "K, me an' Spot heah will do our t'ing, Race, you take your double to the races and wherever you'se go durin' da day, and Blink and Blink."
We smiled. "Cool," I said.
"But foist," Jack turned to me, "da Newsie initiation."
Me and Spot made eye contact. What could that be?
The other newsies started chuckling, and some looked skeptical.
"Initiation? What kind of initiation?" I asked nervously.
"Nothin' ta worry about, my dear. We just wanna make sure you'se goils know wut you're gettin' yourselves into. Now, raise your right hand."
We did, not knowing what to expect.
"Repeat after me:" Jack said, "I'se."
We repeated, laughing, "I'se"
"Jack Kelly."
"Jack Kelly."
He shook his head, "No, no no!"
We, again, repeated. "No, no no!"
He glared at us. "Say your name."
"Oooooh." we said, grinning at making him mad.
"Ok, let's start over." He rolled his eyes, and raised his hand again. "I'se" he began again, then waiting for us to repeat, "Jack Kelly," he narrowed his eyes, daring us to say his name.
We didn't. He smiled, "Solemnly swear to be loyal to fellow newsies." We again repeated, and he said very quickly,
"And to run if being chased by da Bulls or someone else who wants ta soak ya, fight fair when you're in the mood, never go to bed on time, make up random headlines, and listen to whatever else your wonderful, charming, handsome, leader tells you to do."
We, as well as other newsies, started cracking up.
"Do you promise?!" he demanded.
"Ya, Jack, wuteva'" Spot said, rolling her eyes.
"Now we shake on it." He turned to me first, grinned, and made to put out his hand. I did too, and at the last moment, he spit on his hand.
I looked at it, disgusted, but I didn't want everyone to think I was a girly wuss, so I followed suit.
We shook, and I quickly let go, trying to discreetly wipe my hand on my already filthy pants.
Spot and (our) Race looked at me in amazement, not believing that I had actually followed that nasty ritual.
Jack, KidBlink, and the others nodded, smiling. I had passed the test, so it seemed. Jack then turned to Spot and (our) Race. They grimaced, and spit in their hand and shook with him. We were fully initiated newsies.
