As a loud yell was heard resounding through the tiny room, groans and protests arose from the small creaky bunks, many newsies grumply got up, some even fell off of there almost broken beds. But, on a bottom bunk of a very dirt clad mattress a small figure tossed and turned undisturbed by the harsh yell, that awoke many of the newsies from the most secretive dreams that still haunted their minds.

A large thump made the disguised girl jump up-wide awake. Hitting her head on the bunk above, still clad in her hat, she clutched her head as a dull ache spread itself through her head. Not realizing where she was at first, her eyes swept the unkept room, landing on various objects. Then it hit her, she was a girl in a room full of boys, her cheeks turned bright red. 'Stop it Lissy, your disguised as a boy, just keep up the charade and'. Before being able to finish her brooding thought, she was lifted up high into the air. She was soon dumped onto the ground by an over exuberant Skittery who's eyes practically glimmered. "What yous doing lolly gagging, we's got papes to sell"! He said imitating Jack Kelly, as he made elaborated hand gestures. "Now go get changed, and yous better be out in ten seconds or else"! He said wiggling his eyebrows, picking up the protesting girl up and dumping her and her belongings in the somehow vacant bathroom.

Shouts of, "Hey I was using that", and , "hey that's no fair I was up next"! Arose from outside of the small door. Dusty couldn't help but snicker and look for a place to put her wrinkled clothes. Her lip curled with disgust as she realized just how dirt coated everything was. She decided to just hold her clothing from then on, leaving only her undergarments on and discarding her other clothes to the dirt clad ground-she grimaced at this action. She then took off her worn hat, letting her long luscious hair to tumble down her bare back. She gave a content sigh as she raked her hands through her long, tangled hair, she missed letting her hair down, something that was almost a habit at home.

Suddenly, the girl froze, and she realized just how stupid her decision was. "You were warned"! She heard a very familiar voice call out with mischief and playfulness coated in it. Before even having time to react, the door was flung open and a burst of light entered the bathroom, abruptly the door closed. "I figured I'd close the door to give you some privacy, I mean it being your first day and all...". Trailed off Skittery when turning around and seeing the figure that stood in front of  him. A light blush coated his cheeks and soon started to spread, both figures stood, unmoving, almost not breathing. Skittery's hand was still hovering above the door knob, suddenly he came to realization. "Oh umm, I'll be going now, uh". He sputtered as he ran outside into the brightly lit room closing the door smugly shut behind him. Lissy's face was now a bright shade of red, she lay down on the  cold floor, not giving a care to its current state. 'Oh god, a boy has just seen me practically naked, not just any boy Skittery'. Reminded her wandering mind coming to its own conclusions. She pulled in her bare legs to her chest and felt her heart racing feeling as if it was gonna burst out of her chest at any moment.

"Are you almost done in there, some of us gotta go you know"? Mumbled an angry voice while banging on the door. Dusty scrambled up from her spot on the floor and quickly began to frantically get dressed. She soon emerged from the bathroom fully clothed with her hat securely on her head. "Took you long enough". Murmured Racetrack receiving a glare from Dusty. Making her way down the rickety steps Dusty tried to hide her embarrassment by sliding her hat further down her face. Making it safely down the old, creaky steps, Dusty felt her face become hot again when thinking about the days events. She again lowered her cap to cover her face, hoping her cheeks would return to their normal color soon. "Dusty where are you going"? She heard a husky voice come from behind her. She whirled around to find Racetrack sitting on the banister smirking at her, his hazel eyes sparkling with a mischievous gleam. "Umm to sell papes"? She asked looking at him strangely as he sat smugly on the loose banister. "Without eating, what are you crazy"? He snorted put his hand on her back leading her toward what the newsies referred to as the dining room.

The 'dining room' had a long scratched up table from previous incidents that had occurred, and various chairs that the  Manhattan newsies had somehow acquired over the years. None of them had been purchased, simply either found, or stolen. Whenever a chair was found a boy would run home with excitement in his eyes for there was a huge reward for chair finders. They got to have the extra slice of bread for breakfast, that the newsies usually salvaged and saved. A spare scrap of food was always needed, so whenever an opportunity arised it was seized.There were even accounts of newsies dragging chairs out of bars or restaurants, with the owners hot on their tails.

Dusty walked quickly ahead of Racetrack trying to avoid the electricity that she had felt, when his muscular hand pressed against her lower back. Racetrack looked at the boy in front of him strangely , sure Dusty was very peculiar. But, Race couldn't help but feel something stir at the bottom of his stomach making him feel queasy and strange at the same time. 'It's just that I's hungry'. Rationalized Racetrack with himself. But, somehow he knew this feeling was different...
