*last time*
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...
***********
Watching the boys around her gulping down their meals at the speed of light Dusty nibbled on a piece of bread. Glancing at Racetrack who had just swallowed a piece of bread whole, the lone girl sneered in disgust and got up from the table. The flurry of activity stopped, in mid-bite the boys watched her curiously as she left her uneaten meal, and escaped the dimly lit room. Jack in particular studied her, her face, her movements, trying to figure out if what Crutchy said was plausible. Skittery was altogether in his own world, the image from earlier kept springing up in his mind. His face was turning redder by the minute , shaking his head he tried to get the unwanted thoughts from inside his mind.

Suddenly, Mush sprang up from the table and made a hasty excuse. "Uh, ise not hungry". And tripping he fled from the room that was filled to the brim with confusion. Most of the boys, shrugging, went back to shoving food into their mouth, and then there was Crutchy. He looked bewildered at the girl's strange behavior, why had she not eaten? A feeling of irritation and worry crossed his mind as he began to think up reasons for why she was not eating. Was she sick, nauseous, or was it something else? When realizing how delusional and irrational he sounded Crutchy immediately pleaded for his mind to shut up, and just to go about his business.

Kid Blink could not stop wondering about this captivating newsie,  he didn't understand why he was so interested by this new character. But, something about this newsie intrigued him, ever since that one night in the bathroom when he had discovered her secret. He wanted to tell her, he did, but, something was stopping him. What exactly, that was the question. Pulling out the worn out flyer from that night, he gazed at the brightly colored letter that advertised the Wild West. Why was she so interested in the west? And why did he care?

Turning a corner Dusty marched toward the distribution center, thoughts clouding her mind. So, now even Skittery knew she was a girl. 'Good job keeping your secret Lissy'. Her mind argued as she almost bumped into a moving figure, steadying her the figure took a quick glance at her face and stepped back. "Move Fabien". She sputtered, trying to get around the boy in rash desperation. But, the boy stood as still as a statue gazing down at the girl in sheer wonderment. "Let's talk". He said in a low, whispery tone. "Let's not". She snapped, annoyed at this cocky, arrogant boy. "We can talk while we walk". He pleaded, desperation coming into his voice, his green eyes becoming watery. The undercover girl sighed, wishing she could run her fingers through her hair and grumbled. "Fine". The girl walked fast paced with the boy trailing behind her, trying to talk until she finally snapped. "Why,god why would you do that"? "You and Jamie were best friend, how could you". She let her voice drop to a whisper as she pushed past him, making him run after her. "What was I supposed to do"? He hissed looking around, as if scared of getting caught. "Not everything is what it seems". He whispered in a low frantic tone, eyes darting around the bustling street. "What"? She hissed back, confusion evident on her face. "We'll talk later". He hissed back and disappeared into the huge crowd. The girl watched his figure, not understanding what he meant.

Out of nowhere, she saw black curly hair shooting toward her and soon saw that oh so famous crooked smile that got all the girls, it was Mush Meyers. "Mush, what are you doing here"? "Umm going to get me some papes. Plus how could I leave you alone, who knows what trouble you'd run into"! He exclaimed, a smirk settling itself onto his smug face. "Mush Meyers, I can manage myself very well, I'll have you know". The girl said crossing her arms and giving him a knowing look. "Oh really, well I'll have you know that the distribution center is that way". He said pointing in the opposite direction, the girls face became scarlet. "So, shall we go mademoiselle"? Questioned Mush while mock bowing. "Oh my prince"! She squeaked, fluttering her eyelashes mocking the girls from the other night. Mush chortled as they began to make their way across the crowded street.

The line at the distribution center was long and winding,  bright eyed newsies were chattering, the sound echoed off of the tall building that surrounded them. A fat, pudgy man sat at the small desk, some called him Mr.Wiesel, some Weasel, that some was the one and only Jack Kelly. Today, he taunted him with his cowboy hat slung across his head and a grin spread from ear to ear, Weasel's face was bright red as this prancing boy mocked him. When hearing his name Cowboy turned around to see a little boy of about 9 or 10 run up to him smiling. "Davey said I can sell fifteen papes today, that's five more than last week"! He exclaimed grinning as Jack tilted his head back and laughed at the little boy.

Dusty stared at the little boy, amused by his enthusiasm and spirit, turning around and squinting at the glaring sunlight she saw another ominous figure approaching the group from the crowd. He had curly, blonde hair and bright blue, sparkling eyes, this was David Jacobs. Before, Dusty knew what was happening, she was shoved up right in front of the two new strangers. "Dusty this is David and Les, David and Les this is Dusty"! Exclaimed Jack, avoiding making eye contact with the undercover girl. Spitting on his right hand David held it out for her , she looked green at this proposal and looked to help from Mush who had to hold in his laughter. "Watchya waiting for"? Asked Les beaming at the girl. Sighing, she spit on her hand and shook it with both Les and David who grinned at her as if they already approved of her. All Dusty could think was, Let the selling begin!
