Jaci slowly opened her eyes and looked around. To her left she saw a boy(mush) just standing there without his shirt on, she screamed, sat up, hit her head on the top of the bunk, fainted, and fell back down.
"Umm… Jack the girl just fainted again," Mush said innocently.
"No duh she fainted, she saw you without you shirt on!" Jack laughed. "Ok boys time to start selling our papes." The newsies followed Jack whistling and dancing out the door and down the street.
"Oooo my head hurts," Jaci said as she opened her eyes and found the room completely empty. "Where am I?" Jaci got out of bed and walked around a bit she looked out the window and saw a big city. "Oh right, I'm in New York now. How the heck I am going to get out of here, it makes no sense." Jaci sighed and laid back down on the bed. A few minutes later she got up to see if there was anything to eat. She walked around but all she could find were a couple pieces of bread, she took them and went back to her bunk. When she was finished eating she could here voices out side of the door. Jack, David, Mush, and Skittery, came barreling through the door.
"Who's this," David asked since he had never seen Jaci before.
"Oh a this is…" Jack started to say before Jaci interrupted him.
"I'm Jaci Rozmae, I am sixteen years old, and live in Sherwood park. Somehow I ended up here in this town, but I think I will go now." Jaci stormed out of the room.
"Where you gonna go?" Jack stopped her.
"I don't know anywhere but this filthy place, with you filthy, rude, obnoxious, cocky, stu…"
"Hey, wait a minute just cuz we ain't foist class doesn't mean you have to call us all those names," Jack said angrily.
"I'm sorry. I am just so confused, I want to go home and see my family but now I never will," Jaci burst into tears and threw her arms around Jack.
"Um guys, a little help," Jack gently pats Jaci on the back. Jaci realizes that she is hugging, she stops crying, pulls away, and wipes her eyes with her sleeve.
"Sorry about that, I'm an emotional person." Jaci said still wiping her eyes.
"You can stay with my family if you want, Jaci, I have a sister, Sarah, who you can stay with," David spoke up.
"That's a great idea, Davey, If it's ok with your folks," Jack smiled at Jaci.
"Sure it is, they always are willing to help someone in need," David said.
"Thank you David," Jaci managed a weak smile.
"Let's bring her to your place now Davey,"
"Sure if you want to go now," Davey replied.
"I'd love to meet your family," Jaci said happily. The three of them walked towards David's apartment in silence.
