I don't own Newsies or anything to do with it. But Jess is mine and she's awesomeeeeee! Yes!

Lyrics from Seventy Times 7 by Brand New. I love Brand New! Best band .. well maybe not the best .. but a really, really good band. I suggest you listen to them.

It's a really short chapter. Sorry. Read and review, pleaseeeeeee?


'Ugh, what time is it?' I asked myself as I woke. The light hurt too much to open my eyes. Looking at my pocket watch, I noticed it was two in the afternoon. I shot up and looked at my room. Two? I laid back down remembering it was my day off.

'You gotta get up some time.' I groaned. 'No, I don't.'

Ignore the sun, the cover's over my head. I wrote a message on my pillow that says "Jessy, stay asleep in bed."

I would lie in bed that day. I wouldn't get up. I refused.


"Jess, it's four. I think you should get up. Maybe eat something?" Christine's voice came through the door.

"Fine! I'll be down soon!" I shouted back at her and got up out of bed. I pulled on my old clothes, and old white shirt and plain gray skirt. I gave my hair a quick brush and walked down to the kitchen.

"Heya everyone." I said and sat down at the table.

"Finally up." Natalie said as I sat down.

"Yeah, I was telling myself that I would stay in bed all day." I laughed and took some bread. "I don't even know why I came down. I'm not even hungry." I threw the bread down after a bite and stared at everyone.

"You're song was really good last night." Ashley said and smiled at me.

"Thanks." I said and looked down.

"I wouldn't know. I was a little busy." Natalie said and laughed as Ashley and Christine hit her. "But Spot did say that you reminded him of someone. He said he heard the song before." She said eating. I gaped but stopped as they looked at me.

"Who's Spot?" I asked faking interest. She went on to say that he was so cute and so sweet and her guy. I drowned her out.

"Ya know what guys? This light down here is giving me a headache. I'm gonna go back up into my room, ok?" I lied standing and walking towards the door.

"Bye Rose, I hope you feel better." Ashley said as I left.

I hated Natalie, I really did.

Reaching my room, I shut the door and walked over to my bed. My bag was lying on the floor next to it so I picked it up. I needed to write. I had to, so I took my paper and pencil out and began to write.
