Chapter 10

Last chapter...

These thoughts were running through my mind as everything replayed over and over again. I walked into my room and sat down on the bed. I checked my phone.

One missed call from Father

It's time to face him... it's now or never.

**********************************************************

I called him back. "Hello, this is Justin Bonnefoy, how many I help you?" He asked in that sickly sweet fake voice.

"It's me father. I've made my decision." He scoffed. "The right one I suppose, I don't want you running around the country bringing lies and bad truths to our name."

"I'm going with Uncle." "You're such a disgrace. I expect you to be on your best behavior and don't annoy your uncle. I'm sure he has more than enough to deal with already and him taking care of you is even worse."

"Yes, father." "Find something useful to do and I expect you at some point to follow up on your education. Follow your brother's example, I mean he's already running part of the business and all you're doing is becoming a nuisance."

"Goodbye, father." "Goodbye,... disgrace." He hung up. I sighed. When I told Ben that's what they call me I wasn't kidding. I checked the time. It looked to be around 12. I'm not tired so I might as well animate.

Time skip ~~~~

I heard an alarm go off. I think I slept for... three hours? It'd enough to get me through the day. I took a shower. I changed into some khaki pants, a button up shirt, and a cardigan. I put my wraps on my arms. I fixed my hair into a half up half down style. I put on my glasses and grabbed my wallet, camera, my tag/pass thingy just in case, and phone.

I have enough time to grab my tea and hop into a subway. After a short wait we made it to my stop.

Alright, so I have to meet Ben at the Nederlander theatre. Well he said inside. I checked the time, 10:40. I'm early so I'll just go in. Just as I tried to I got stopped by a guard.

Hmmm, I'll abuse my Newsies powers and take out my tag. I showed it to him and he let me in. I'm not apart of this theater... they should tighten up security.

So here's what I know about Ben.... nothing. Except he's an actor because he asked me to come into a theatre. I sighed and pulled out my phone and was about to text him when someone poked my shoulder.

"Who are you?" I turned around to see a guy with brown hair. He had blue eyes and one had a sample of green. "I'm Evalina, I'm supposed to meet Ben here." "Hi, I'm Mike. Not to be rude, but how did you get in?"

I laughed at his confusion. "I used my pass." "Newsies? Just don't think I've seen you around here..." Mike said.

"That's because this isn't where just work." "But it says newsies on your tag..." "I work with the touring cast." "Oh." "Yeah, I'm Jeff Calhoun's niece too." "Are you the one he always talked about?

"Probably since I'm his only niece." "I should probably take you to Ben's dressing room." "Thanks." We began walking up many stairs occasionally running into people but mainly just techies.

While looking around I finally realized this was Newsies. I mean Broadway newsies. I won the album but just can't put a face to the name I suppose. And if I'm right then Ben is Ben Fankhauser.
