(Y/N) POV

I blindly grabbed the first thing that came in contact with my hand. It was cold and smooth. When I retrieved the object it turned out to be a smooth, black pebble.

"Ayyy! Bumlets, dat's your luck rock!" Race prodded his friend. I looked down and blushed. Bumlets had been my crush for years now. He was handsome, and he always cared for the younger newsies. He was sweet and kind. He was like an angel sent from heaven. My best friend, Skittery, pushed me over to the closet.

"Go get 'im, Tiger," Skitts whispered to me. Bumlets and I were packed like sardines in the closet. I could feel his breath on my neck. 

"Hey..." I said awkwardly.

"Hey," he replied. We sat in silence for a few minutes before I asked,

"Has it been 7 minutes yet?" 

"No," he replied, "Do you not enjoy my company?"

"Yes...no...maybe? I mean, I do enjoy your company," I stumbled over my words. He laughed. "Can, I tell you something?" I inquired.

"Sure!" he grinned at me.

"I...reallylikeyoubutyouprobablydon'tlikemesowhydoIevenbother? AndnowyouprobablythinkI'mcrazyforramblingon!" I was beyond exasperated at myself.

"Hey, don't yell at yourself," he gently said, "I really like you, too." Bumlets pulled me into a quick kiss. It was light, but perfect. A few seconds later, the door opened. Skittery smirked at me.

"Use protection, kiddos," he teased. I turned red and threw my hat at him. He laughed and walked off. Nothing could bring my spirits down!
