Pretty Little Rich Goil (A Newsies Fanfic)

Chapter One: Racetracks's POV

"See ya later, Race!" Mush called. I waved to him and hopped on a trolley to Sheepshead.

I leaned against a wall and scanned the headlines, searching for something I could use. "Burgular Caught Late Last Night". Nah, too boring. "Unfriendly Dog Bites Postal Worker". Getting better. "Number One Racehorse Too Tired to Race." Poifect!

It took twenty minutes to reach the races. I hopped off and made my way over to a bench. Being short, I had to stand on it for people to notice me. It wasn't an entirely bad thing. It made me look younger, and younger sells more. "EXTRA! EXTRA!" I shouted. "LEAD HORSE BREAKS LEG!" People came rushing over to me, begging for a pape. One guy even threw me a quarter just so he could get a pape faster. It was going to be a great day. After the first wave of customers died down, (the races were starting) I made my way to the actual audience. But first, I stopped to make a bet on a horse.

Once my bet was in, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and there was a tall, Italian-looking goil standing behind me. She was obviously rich. "Excuse me," she said with an Italian accent, "May I please have one of those papers?"

"Sure thing." I said. I handed her a pape. "That's one cent."

She gave me two quarters. "Keep the change."

Fifty cents for one pape? "Sorry, doll, but I can't take this much money." I tried to give it back, but she wouldn't take it.

"I insist!" she said, "At least buy yourself lunch with it."

"Well, thanks, I guess."

She nodded. "I'm Marvel, by the way."

"Racetrack."

She smiled and joined her family. I know what youse is thinking, and no, I am not in love with her. But I know someone who needs a goil. Badly.

Author's Note

So what do you think? I know usually in a scenario like this, Racetrack would be smitten with her, but I really just wanted to use him to introduce Marvel to another boy. And before I forget:
