Author's Note: Hey hey hey! Sorry I haven't updated in so long. I really don't have an excuse. I wasn't busy, sick, no one's dying. I just lost interest and I had writer's block! Well I know that there was one person reviewing this and sorry I forgot your name again. Well I hope you still are!
Oh yeah. I saw that everybody else does these things. Some stupid law or something. I mean seriously! If I owned Newsies I wouldn't do this I would #1 date Gabe and #2 write an actual book so I could make some dough but ANYWAYS
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Newsies. Though I own all other characters except for Ace and Pike. They belong to Racetrack's Goil I think.
Chapter 3- 50 papes please
~LEXI POV~
By the time I had walked out of the alley and to where everyone else was standing, I was last in line. Great. Wonderful. Why am I surprised? I always had horrible luck anyways. Soon, well not soon but whatever, it was my turn. "Fifty papers please," The fat ugly dull-looking man gave her her papers. "Hurry up your holding up the line!" he shouted. I moved and flashed him an innocent big smile just to tick him off. Meh. That guy is such a retard.
Selling the papers actually was a lot easier than I thought. All you had to do was shout a fake headline and flirt with the customers. I've got this down. And it was such a great day not to hot not to cold. "Pack of dogs take over a neighborhood!" I called out. Three men came up for a paper. Hmmm…. I wonder why all my customers have been men? The real headline was that there was a dog on the loose in the neighborhood. Three more papers to go. And nowhere near lunchtime. I'll have to get more papers tomorrow. "Mayor's daughter caught pick-pocketing a child!" The real headline was a child who gave her a box of chocolates. What a stupid headline. I really admire the person who wrote this though. It takes true talent to write seven paragraphs about a box of chocolates. I sold my last three newspapers easily with that headline. Hmm….. Now what do I do… Oh there's Ace!
Ace soon caught sight of me and called me over. When I came closer I saw that Tori and Books were also with her. "We'se on are way ta Lonny's. Dats were da newsies eat dere lunch. Ya wanna come too?" she asked. "Sure," I replied. "Just finished selling anyways." "Dat's good timing for a beginner," remarked Tori. "Thanks." And with that, we were off to Lonny's.
On the way we didn't talk much. Just the usual "how'd you like selling" and all that crap. Five minutes later, We were standing in front of Lonny's.
