"Shhhhh!" Gamble said as Shadow cleared a path for them to get through.
All four girls were in a semi-deserted alley behind Irving Hall. They were following a path through barrels and old newspapers to a large wooden door. Once they got inside the door, they'd be in one of the top boxes that was rarely ever used.
Shadow looked back and placed her finger against her lips once more as she slowly pulled the door open. They stepped inside to find a dark area, the only light being that that shown through the door. Gamble went forward and ran her hand along the thick fabric that had to be a curtain. As she did, the fabric rippled gently. Finally, her hand stopped.
She pulled back the curtain to reveal the Irving Hall stage where Medda was singing. The hall was practically completely filled with people. The music was louder than Danielle and Amanda were used to hearing from the movie, and they had no idea what the song was.
Gamble and Shadow sat right down, looking as though they'd done this before. Danielle and Amanda hesitated a few seconds before sitting down. Once they did, though, they immediately began to get into the show.
Kid and Renee sat down in a booth, a waiter coming to give them menus. Kid looked anxiously at the food, his face smiling. "I've been waitin' ta try dis steak for a while," he said, not exactly looking at her.
Renee nodded before looking around. Laying the menu aside, Kid looked at her. "Ya alright?" he asked, looking at her intently.
She looked back at him, her eyes shining a little more than what's usual. She sighed and nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine," she said, raising her hands to rub her temples.
"Ya sure?" he asked again.
She nodded, taking her hands away from her head and laying them on the table. "See? I'm fine."
Kid nodded and accepted his food. They became silent for a while as he began to eat. Renee sat there, her eyes on her hands as she played with a plastic straw.
A waiter came out carrying a handful of plates and glasses. A man, apparently in a hurry to pay, rushed by, knicking the waiter in the shoulder. The dishes all clashed to the ground creating a loud crash.
Renee winced and her hands almost went to her head. Kid looked up at her just as he finished eating. He saw her wince and he moved to sit next to her. "What's wrong?" he asked, his voice slightly demanding her to answer him truthfully this time.
She looked over at him, her blue eyes staring into his. She sighed and ran her hand through her hair. Sighing once more, she resumed playing with the straw, watching it as she did. "I just have a headache from the Harlem newsies. I-I'll be fine."
Kid grabbed the straw and threw it down. "C'mon, ya aint staying here wit a headache. Dat's like jumpin' inta deep wata when ya don't know how ta swim."
Setting money on the table, Kid wrapped his arm around her shoulders and steered her out of the restaurant. He pushed her softly through the streets towards the girls' lodging house. After a short while Renee turned around and stopped walking.
"Kid, I am not going back to the lodging house. I'm not sick, and I'm not going to miss out on the fun. So you can just stop now," she said, crossing her arms.
Kid looked at her for a minute. "All right," he said as he began to take a few steps towards the other direction.
Renee nodded. "Good, 'cause I was not going to take another step towards the lodging house."
Kid smiled and turned around. The mischief in his eyes made Renee look at him oddly. "Kid? What're you doin'?"
Taking steps closer, his smile widened. "Kid," Renee's voice warned. He began to run at her and she uncrossed her arms and ran away.
