Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I don't own the Newsies! I do own Meggera though and C.M Higgins owns Brandie and Knots owns Knots/Lauren!!
"Heya Knots!" Racetrack called out as he ran into sheepshead's. A short young girl with shoulder length blonde hair spun around. Her dazzling blue eyes sparkled.
"Hiya Race, running a little late today are we?" she said picking up another paper to sell, a smirk crossing her face.
"How'd ya know?" Race said sarcastically.
"Well ain't ya gonna explain what happened?!?"
"Had a run in with Morris. Dat bum was tryin to steal from one of dos hoity toity goils. But I put a stop to dat." Race said puffing out his chest.
Knots laughed. "And did miss high and mighty tank ya or just walk away as if none of it eva happened."
" Actually she let me walk her home. We's even joked around a little. But den when we'se were right in front of her house, she got all weird and ran in side." Race said with a confused expression on his face.
Knots laughed again. "So I'm takin it dat yous tinks she's pretty den?"
"NO! why do you always tink dat when I save someone or help them out dat they are good looking?!?" Race said getting kind of defensive.
"I'm sorry Race I didn't mean dat you tink everyone's good looking, it's just usually you ain't late to sell papes unless des pretty." Knots said, trying to keep a straight face.
Race pocketed the money he had just received from an elderly man, and a quite younger looking lady. A small smile was creeping across his face. "Well she wasn't dat bad looking."
Knots let the smile spread across her face as well. Looking up from getting a paper from the pile he had on the ground, Race saw the smile on her face.
"But she's a high class bode and I'se is...well...a newsie. Even if she's beautiful I ain't ever gonna see her agin." He said grabbing his papers and walking quickly down the small road.
The smile completely fell off her face. Knots picked up her papers and ran after him. "Come on race, wait." She grabbed his arm and made him stop. "Whats wrong? It's just the same hoity toity type who doesn't care. Yous is used to it Higgins."
"Dis ones different. When we was talking, it was like she would have rather been a newsie den what she is. But at her house she got all rude. She's hidin something." Race said. This time he was worked up. He pulled away from her grip and started off agin.
" Higgins, would ya just stop and listen to me. I'm willin to listen. I'se is sorry, I didn't mean to jump to conclusions." Knots said from where she was standing.
Race stopped and turned around. He headed back over to Knots. "Nah, I'm sorry. I shouldn't get al worked up about some goil I don't even know, especially a rich on at dat. It's just she seems different from all does rich class broads. It was like I'se had already known her."
"What do ya mean, ya feel like you'se already know's her? Didn't ya just met the broad?" Knots asked, somewhat confused.
"Well yea, but you'se see she just reminds me of someone I know but I can't seem to figure out who it is." Racetrack said shrugging his shoulders. "It was like we had met before along time ago, only we'se was younger."
Knots patted him on the back. "Don't worry Race. If it's love you'll find her agin."
Race had a surprised look on his face and stood up quickly. "What make's you tink it's love, Lauren? I'se just tink de broads pretty dats all."
Knots or Lauren as she use to be call along time ago, started to laugh. " Sorry race. I didn't mean to make it sound like you'se had feelins or anyting."
Race sat back down and gave a small smirk. "Speakin of love Knotsy. How about you and Jacki-boi??" He said nudging her with his elbow.
Knots blushed, but quickly hide her smile. "Cowboy and me? Nah, he's too much of a flirt and a lady's mad for a goil to get attached to. Besides he wouldn't eva go for me." Knots said looking at the ground glomingly.
"Well woid in de boys room is dat Jack fancy's you." Race said slyly.
Knots sat bolt up right, a small smile crept across her face, she tried to hide it. "And what makes you think dat I care what Jack Kelly tinks of me?!" she said folding her arms across her chest.
"I don't think dat you'se cares. I was just saying, dats all." Race said smiling.
He knew just as well as anyone that Knots had a huge thing for Jack Kelly , Leader of the Manhattan Newsies.
"Well I don't!" she said in a huff.
" Alrighty den. I'll just go back to the Lodgin house and tell poor Jacki-boi me self. It'll break his heart." Race said looping Knots into a guilt trip and tricking her into tell him that she liked Jack.
"NO!! I do like him. I like him a lot!!" Knots said loudly grabbing onto Race as he stood up from the bench.
Racetrack smiled. Pleased with himself. "Aha I'se knew you liked him."
