Jack
You met him when you were kicked out. Your parents couldn't afford to raise you anymore. You wandered the streets looking for something to eat or a place to stay. Jack had just finished selling his papers and was heading back to the lodge when he saw you wandering around

"Hey, what's a pretty girl like you doing wandering the street all alone"
"It's a long story but I got kicked out"
"You can live with me"
"Really?! That would be amazing"
"Yep! I live in a lodge house with a bunch of newsies"
"Thank you so much!"
"No problem! I'm Jack Kelly by the way"
"I'm y/n"

The next morning you started your job as a newsie

Davey
You met him because of Les. You would go to the park and read to the children there, Les would often go to the park to hear you read after he sold his papers and davey was still selling. One day Les decided to sell near the park with Davey so it would be faster to walk there. After Les sold all his papers davey still had a bunch left so he went to the park and listened to you read little women to the kids. Davey had only one paper left so he decided to sell it on the way back to his house. When he saw you he just stopped in his tracks. You were the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. After you finished reading it was around lunch so most of the kids started going home. Les took your hand and ran to davey

"DAVEY THIS IS Y/N! SHE READS ME STORIES"

You smiled at davey and extended your hand so he could shake it

"Hello! You must be his brother, he always interrupts my stories to talk about you! You're such a good role model and brother from what I've heard"

Davey was tomato red at this point, Les had been talking about him to a pretty girl. He shook your hand

"Hi! I'm so sorry about Les interrupting you, he's very...loud at times"

You laughed and handed him a quarter

"Hm?"
"I wanna buy the newspaper! You do sell them, right?"
"Oh yeah! Here"

He awkwardly got it out of his bag and took Les's hand

"We've got to get home for lunch, it was really nice meeting you! Bye"
"Bye!"

Crutchie
You were jacks best friend and also a newsie. When crutchie first became a newsie Jack was showing him around the lodge, you were in the bedroom area sewing a skirt that you had accidentally stepped on and ripped. You heard the door open and heard the familiar voice of Jack.

"And this is the bedrooms, right over there is y/n"

You turned around and smiled at the new boy

"Hi!"

You waved
Crutchie was bright pink. He had never seen anyone as beautiful as you

"Uh hi, I'm crutchie"

He said awkwardly. Jack smirked and turned to you

"Hey y/n, would it be ok if crutchie slept on the bottom bunk of your bunk bed"
"Sure, whatever makes him comfortable"

Racetrack
You enjoyed reading newspaper and always bought some from Albert, one day albert decided to make race sell with him. You came at the usual time and walked up to albert

"Good morning albert! Who's that"

You pointed to race

"Morning y/n! That's racetrack, or race for short! He's selling with me today"

Race was just admiring your Beauty as you talked, he found you quite beautiful and knew he was gonna make you fall for him

"Care for a newspaper sweetheart?"

He said as he took one out of his bag

"I'd love a newspaper! Thank you"

You gave him a dime and took the paper

"So, Any interesting headlines today?"

You asked, you always asked that before you read a newspaper in case there's any story you wanted to read first

"Actually yeah! Important headline: my heart has been stolen by someone named y/n"

Race laughed

"Really race? That's so cheesy"

Albert cringed
You laughed and turned to race

"Well then how about you steal my heart as well tomorrow at the park"

You replied

"I'd love to!"

He smiled

A/n: so I'm not good at flirting and I've never really made characters flirt in fanfics so please forgive me if that was pretty cringey! And if you have a character request please tell me
