(COMPLETED) Da prettiest Erster (Racetrack x Reader)

Chapter 5

"I'm headed out, I'll be back in a hour or two." Y/N said as she made her way to the door.
"Where are you heading?" Y/N's dad asked.
"Just to hang out with some friends." Y/N replied before leaving.
Y/N walked over to the centre. "Hey Y/N!" Albert called.
Y/N waved to Albert. "What are you guys doing today? She asked.
"Playing card games, but I'll let you in on a little secret." Albert said.
Y/N walked closer to Albert. "Race has been pulling pranks on us all week so we's decided ta get some paybac with some paybac. Ya mind helping us out?" Albert asked.
"Sure." Y/N shrugged.
"Alright you guys come over here ya don't need ta hide anymore." Albert called.
Than three others newsies popped up. Romeo, Finch and Henry to be exact. "Hello 'm'lady." Romeo smiled.
"Hello to you to." Y/N smiled back.
"Okay quit flirting you two and let's get tawking." Albert piped up.
Y/N and Romeo laughed a little. Albert singled everyone to huddle. "So here's da plan. There's a loose floor board on da second floor, if ya remove it, we can fit a bucket through it. Plan is we fill it with the water we's use ta wash our socks 'n clothes and dump it on his head. Romeo and I can do dat. Finch I's need ya ta gives us da single. Like when your ready shoot pebbles at da ceiling so we know ta dump da water." Albert explained.
"Where do I come in?" Y/N asked.
"You havta distract Race. Keep him in da same spot. Can ya do that?" Albert asked.
Y/N nodded her head. "Well, let's get to it."
The five headed inside. Albert and Romeo headed upstairs. "Is he is the right spot?" Y/N whispered to Finch.
Finch nodded his head. Y/N walked over to Race. "Hey."
Race looked up to see Y/N. "Ah, hey Y/N what ya doing here?" Racetrack asked.
"Just thought it'd be nice to stop in. How are you?" Y/N asked.
"I'm fine." Race responded.
Race then started to get out of his chair. "Whoah where are you going?" Y/N asked.
"Jus getting the deck of cards." Race responded confused by Y/N's reaction.
"I'll just get them for you, sit down." Y/N said.
"No it's fine I'll get them myself."
Crap what am I supposed to do Y/N thought.
That's when a dumb and weird idea popped into her head. Y/N grabbed hold of Race's cheeks with her hands, making him look at her in the eye. "Y- Y/N. W-what are ya doing?" Race asked blushing madly.
I'm not to sure I even know.
"Has anyone ever told you how g-gorgeous you are?" Y/N asked.
What are you saying?!
Y/N could feel Finch resisting the urge to laugh. "W-what?" Race asked voice cracking, still blushing.
"Yeah your really pretty."
Y/N couldn't believe she was saying any of this. Not that she didn't think they weren't true, just that she was saying it under no context and for a silly prank. "Look out below!" Finch yelled.
It was then the water came down and Y/N had forgotten to move out of the way. The two got soaked. Race looked at Y/N. "Sorry." She whispered with a gentle face.
"Oh my gosh! You both got wet?!" Albert yelled looking at the two.
Y/N awkwardly smiled. "Ya can remove your hands from his cheeks ya know." Romeo pointed out with a smirk.
Y/N looked and noticed her hands were still in the same place, she slowly removed them. "Oh right."
"Ya guys are very funny." Race groaned.
"You mind if I talk to you?" Y/N asked Race.
"Ah, sure." Race said. The two walked outside, oddly enough it was raining, but the two were already soaked so they didn't care. "I'm sorry." Y/N said.
"Sorry for what?" Race asked.
"Playing with your feelings. Saying those things I shouldn't have. My job in the prank was keeping you in the same spot and I didn't know how to keep you there so I, well I did that."
Y/N explained.
"Ya know I'm more hurt dat you didn't mean any of those things." Race said.
It was now his turn to make Y/N blush.
"What?"
"Well did ya mean those things?" Race asked with a smirk.
"Well, I um. I-I. You see I-" Y/N was blushing furiously at this point.
Race laughed. "It's fine, ya don't need ta answer. I'm jus messing with ya."
"Oh." Y/N huffed.
"Mind if I walk ya home?" Race asked.
"Sure, why not." Y/N smiled.
"Hey Al! Hand me ya shirt!" Race yelled.
"What for?"
"Ta use as a umbrella."
"Sure, whatever."
Racetrack hung the collared long sleeve shirt about both of their heads. As Y/N walked along side Race she really started to think about what she'd said earlier. Is Race handsome? She thought.
Y/N looked at Race. She noticed his deep blue eyes and dimples. How when he smiled, everything seemed to get brighter. He also noticed his dirty blonde hair. You know that wasn't a wrong accusation.
"Youse okay?" Race asked.
Y/N hadn't realized she was staring. She quickly looked away. "Yeah I'm fine." She mumbled.
"Well here's ya house." Race said.
"Yeah." Y/N mumbled to herself.
"Well this evening has been interesting ta say da least." Race added.
Y/N chuckled. "See ya around." Race smiled before leaving.
Y/N watched Race walk away. Her heart skipped a beat.
Y/N stepped inside her house and was met with her dog. Y/N's father was asleep at this point so Y/N just went to her room and got changed into dry clothes. When Y/N laid down to go to sleep her mind was cluttered with images of Race.
Yes it was true, without Y/N wanting to say it she was absolutely smitten.
Oh Racetrack Higgins what have you done to me?
