Chapter 3: Just stop looking

The newsies were all back at the lodging house getting ready for the evening at Medda's. Race, Blink, Mush and a few other newsies were playing poker before they decided to clean up. A few newsies were in the washroom and the rest were just scattered all across the bunkroom.

"Hey Blink, is FC going to be there tonight?" Mush asked trying to make his friend blush.

"I don't know, I haven't seen her since yesterday. Ask Jack he'll know if Green is going and there's your answer for FC." Blink tried answering as if he could care less but he couldn't help the smile that came to his face.

"Hey Jack, is Green coming tonight?" Mush asked.

"Ya so is FC. And by the way Mush, Entice is working tonight." Jack said knowing full well that mentioning her name would make him blush, which it did.

"Mush, are you blushing." Race said knowing he was and every newsie along with Jack started laughing, which made Mush blush even more and they laughed even harder.

"Hey anyone seen Spot?" Jack asked no one in particular.

"Last I saw him was when we got back and he went up to the roof." Boots told Jack.

"Thanks Boots."

Jack went over to the window and climb out onto the fire escape. Almost every newsie has been on the roof and they mostly go up to their to think because something was bothering them, just to be alone or for extracurricular activities. Jack was trying to think what Spot would have on his mind that he wouldn't tell him but he had a feeling it was the same thing from earlier today. Jack had reached the roof and saw Spot just standing there looking out over the roof tops of New York, watching the sun setting behind them.

"Hey Spot, what up?" Jack asked his friend a little worried about him.

"Nothing much Jack. Just thinking." Spot answered. The truth was he couldn't get the girl from earlier out of his mind. When he looked into her eyes there was a story behind them and he felt intrigued. But he was also thinking about his life. More in particularly his love life. It was silent for a couple of moments before Spot started talking again. "Jack have you ever felt that a piece of you was missing but you didn't know what?"

"Sure Spot" Jack answered not exactly getting at where his friend was trying to go with this.

"Because Jack I feel like that right now. Like there's something missing from my life but I can't figure it out." Spot didn't know how else to continue so he just started talking. "I've been feeling this way for awhile now Jacky-boy and it's mostly I feel like someone is missing from my life. I just don't feel like the same me when I go out with all these girls." he paused for moment "I'm sick of going out with a new girl every week Jack. I'm sick of them wanting to go out with me because of who I am and I'm sick going out with beauties and just wanting to date them because they want to date me or because they would give anything to me. I want a real girlfriend. I want someone to date me for me and I want to date them for who they are."

"Well then stop dating them Spot." They were now looking at each other. "Don't date anyone until you think that you found someone to date. Go and meet girls at places you never thought of going to. But most of all don't try to go looking for love, it will come to you when you least expect it. And most of the time that girl will be someone you never thought of seeing yourself with." Jack advised Spot. Jack would never have thought love would be bothering the great Spot Conlon, but he guessed it was finally time.

"Thanks Jack." Spot said trying to figure out what he should do with the advice his best friend had just given him.

"Anytime Spot. Now let's go get ready for Medda's" Jack said trying boost Spot's happiness and with that said they left to go get ready.

At Medda's

"Hey boys!" Entice welcomed the newsies. She had strawberry blonde hair, brown eyes, was 5'4" and was very flirty with the boys. Hence the nickname the newsies gave her.

"Hey Entice!" they all replied back.

"Green and FC should be here soon, but I have to go continue working." She said. Mush was looking at her and you could see a slight red in his cheeks and she gave a big smile to Mush, which caused him the blush even more and the newsies to laugh lightly.

Five minutes later

"And this is Medda's." the outgoing Marie said. She couldn't wait to find the boys and introduced her to them. "Come on let's go find the boys." grabbed Jenna's hand and starting running through the crowd to where she knew the boys would be. She stopped suddenly right in front of the boys and they turned towards her. Unfortunately Jenna didn't see Marie stop and just as fast as she stopped, Jenna had knocked into Marie. They had lost their balance and was on the verge of falling on the ground. Marie had caught her balance but Jenna wasn't as lucky, she had fallen flat on her face.

"O Jenna, are you alright?" Marie went over to help her up but a newsie had gotten to her before. Spot had bent down to the young girl that fallen right beside his chair.

She started getting up and when she heard a young man say something. "Are you alright miss?" and offered his hand to her to help her get up.

"Yes, thank you." she said taking his hand and with that had fully gotten up from the floor, started dusting herself off with the other. She looked at the young man that had helped her. Brushing her hair out off her face. She was staring at the same pair of eyes from earlier that morning. His eyes were like ocean blue, he had dirty blonde hair and was about 5'8". He was handsome, even gorgeous. Spot was staring back at her, getting a better look at her this time. She was shorter than the average girl. She had ocean blue eyes that could tell you anything you wanted to know about her and had dirty blonde hair with natural golden streaks. Her hair wasn't long only about shoulder length.

"You" they both said softly at the same time. They just stared at each other for awhile until they heard someone asked Spot a question.

"Hey, what happened Spot, she's not running away this time." Race commented and newsies started cracking up.

"Hey!" Spot yelled trying to defend himself still holding Jenna's hand and looking at all the laughing newsies.

"I'm really sorry about earlier. Really, I'm so sorry." She started apologizing.

"Don't worry. I wasn't looking where I was going." He said. By now the laughter had died down and Spot had looked at a confused Jenna, who looked at Betty and Marie for an answer. They didn't have one either. She looked back at Spot and he said smiling "Hi, I'm Spot Conlon." He looked at her, it seemed as if she was a bit hesitant about giving her name.

"Jenna, Jenna Touhey." she responded softly still holding the eye contact with Spot and his hand.

"Well now that you met Spot" they both snapped their heads to Marie, they didn't hear what she had said.

"Ya?" Spot asked and all the surrounding people had a light laughter. Jenna and Spot looked around confused and what they would be laughing about.

Marie ignored Spot and continued talking to Jenna. "How about meeting the rest of the boys."

Now Betty had started taking charge of introducing the newsies to Jenna and pulled her over towards Blink. "This is Blink" Betty blushes and so does Blink "and Mush, Race, Crutchy, Dutchy, Specs, Snoddy, Pie Eater, Itey, Snitch" each giving her a smile and nod while Jenna smiled shyly back "Boots, Snipeshooter, Les, Jake, Swifty, Bumlets, Davy and Jack, the Leader of the Manhattan newsies and well you already met Spot, he's the leader of the Brooklyn newsies." At this Jenna looked at Betty with a what? face.

"What?" Betty asked not knowing why she looked confused.

"Newsies?"

"You never heard of newsies, where have you been?" she asked jokingly

"In Ione."

"Huh?" Betty now asked confused.

"You asked where I've been, I've been in Ione." Jenna responded.

"O, Ok." understanding that Jenna didn't quite get her joke.

"Um newsies are newsboys who sell newspapers" Spot had spoken up.

"O" was all Jenna said slightly embarrassed, looking down at her shoes holding her hands in front of her.

"Hey, Betty we haven't introduced her to the most important of all." Marie chimed in. "Jenna stay right here, we'll be right back." and with that Marie and Betty went off to find Clara to tell her when she had a chance to come by the table.

"Umm, hi" Jenna said to the newsies with a small wave because she was still embarrassed and was starting to get a little nervous. She just stood there in an awkward moment of silence when Spot offered her a chair and she sat down while he brought his chair next to her. For the first time Spot didn't know what to say to her so Jack spoke instead.

"How do you know Green and FC?" Jack asked

"Who" Jenna asked confused on who he was talking about.

"O sorry, Marie and Betty." Jack corrected himself.

"I'm moving in with them." She answered. Another moment of silence.

"Where are you from again?" he asked. He remembered but didn't really know how to break the silence at their table.

"Ione" she answered smiling.

"Where's that?" this time Spot had spoken.

"It's in California."

"Did you have a ranch out there?" Jack asked quickly getting a little excited because he always dreamed of going out west.

"Ya, my family owned a ranch." she answered remembering the good time she had there. In the old days during the spring, once her and three brothers got done with their chores they would go to the closest river and swim. Her brothers were her best friends including her older brother Brian. She would go to him with any trouble. She could talk to him and he would take the time to listen to her and would give her advice when he thought she needed it. She was remembering one recent event in general. Jenna had gone to her brother because she thought that no guys liked her. She had yet to have a boyfriend, a date or even her first kiss. Her bother had told her "In all due time. Just stop looking for it and it will come when you least expect it." Betty's voice had snapped Jenna back into reality. "What did you say?"

"O nothing." Jenna answered fully aware that she had said what brother told her out loud. "Nothing at all." her face falling from the smile because Brain was no longer there for her to go get advice from.

"Hey are you ok?" Betty asked seeing that her mood had gone down quite a bit.

"Ya" trying to force a smile and Spot could see the sadness in her eyes. "Who is that?" Jenna asked noticing a girl behind Betty talking to Mush and was trying to figure out a way of getting off the present topic.

"O almost forgot the first reason I came over here." Betty said and turned around to grab Clara and pulled her next to her. "Jenna this is Clara. Clara, Jenna is our new roommate!" She said excitedly.

"Hi, I really like to stay and talk but I really got to run. It's getting crowded in here by the minute" Clara said seeing more people come in through the doors and turning around to get to work.

The three girls stayed there talking to the newsies, well mostly the two girls and watched Medda sing for a couple of hours. Spot had mysteriously returned to his normal self and Jenna had remained quiet most of the time, just watching how they all interacted with each other. So far she could tell that Blink and Betty liked each other and could tell that Marie and Jack could have a slight crush on each other. And that they all had weird names but she was afraid to ask about them about it. The only time she ever talked was to excise herself from the table or when one of the boys asked her a questions. The boys had left around midnight because they had to get up early to sell papes and the girls had waited for Clara to get off work. They all walked back to their apartment and were almost there.

Betty saw Jenna a bit down and decided to talk to her. "Hey, are you alright?"

"Ya, I'm fine, why?" Jenna asked a bit worried that her new friend was going to try and pry into her life.

"Well you seemed a bit down earlier and just right now." she asked her a little worried for her.

"Well it's just that when Jack started asking me if I lived at a ranch out west and that got me thinking about my family" she paused "I just miss them that's all." she said with a slight smile.

"O, I'm sorry, what happened to them?" she asked hoping her friend might talk to her a little.

"I'd rather not talk about it right now." Jenna said.

"I understand but I'm always here to talk." Betty told her as they walked through the door of their apartment.

"Thanks but right now I would like to just get some rest before work tomorrow. Goodnight" and with that Jenna went into their room and got ready for bed.
