After getting our paps we headed towards Central Park to sell 'Does he know im a goil? Oh jezz I can't even imagen what is going through his head... never mind that I gotta get my head on sellin'

I was almost finsih sellin' my mornin' paps so I head towards Race.

"well I just sold my last pap, you alomst done there alex?" Racce said as I walking up ta him a guy bought my last pap.

"ya lets go ta Tibby's. I'm starven" as we turned towards the road to get there I tripped again.

In between breaths Race was laughin' at me, he called out "Klutz, I don't know what ta do bout you.! Thats it." as he snapped his fingers together. "Klutz can be your newsies name!"

My face went red as he hosted me up, 'of course he think of dat'

"Come on lets get ta Tibby's" I just started walking off, as Race tried to keep up with me.

(Race POV)

'there is something bout that boy that is gonna drive me crazy, but I cant be wastin' my time on a stupid kid, I gotta sell da paps'

"EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL BOUT IT, 1OO KIDS KILLLED IN A FACORY ACCIDENT!" And there went the last couple of paps.

As I was heading toawrds where Alex was, I couldn't help but think bout how he still needded a newsies name. 'hmm, Al, shrimp, tripper? , ah don't worry bout nothin, here he comes.'

"Well just sold my last pap. you almost done there Alex?" As a few men walked up ta him .

He told me he was done and wanted ta head to Tibby's for some lunch. Then he fell onced again over his own two feet. I coudln't stop laughing when it accured ta me. 'Klutz'. "Thats it, da newsies name for ya!"

His face went red, as I helped him up. He turned on his heel and headed towards Tibby's without any type of thanks. 'Maybe your name should be Pain in da Ass'

For a sec I thought Alex looked like a goil? Ahh forget it, I'm probaly just seein' things.'

(Alex's POV)

"Ah Race, Alex come overa here!" Jack called overa from a table towards da back. He was sitting with two other newsies.

'Its Cruthie and some other guy I haven't see before. hmm'. As me and Race walk over there, Race made its his job to tell the entire place my new Nickname. 'Great'

"Hey guys guest who dis is? Alex, and his newsies name is now klutz! Counting on how he falls overa his own two feet every other second."

Cruthie spoke up next, "Klutz? haha well looks like I got some competition on da streets then don't I?" And I couldn't help but blush, "Haha ya, ya better watch out now" I said as a gave him a playful punch. So I sat down with them and order my food. I was busy tellin' Jack bout my morning when the other guy who spoked up.

"You look awfull famliar kid, what you say da name was?" "Its Klutz now" Ravce piped up. The othera boy shot Race a glare that cut like knifes "I didnt ask you smart-mouth, I was talking to da kid." And he gestured ta me.
