Sorry I've been sick and I still am but I will only probably update a chapter every 1-3 weeks because school is starting up again. So please just stick with me and sorry if this is a bad and/or short chaper.

"Extra, Extra! Newsies stop the world!", Someone shouted as I walked into a diner. There were a sea of newises swarming around a pape. My mouth dropped into an O as I just at the pape shocked. We got on the front page!

"Don't rip it!", I heard Jack shout while all the newsies dove for the pape. I rolled my eyes and sat in a chair in front of Denton. I took out a cigar and lit it.

"Thanks", I said to Denton as I took a puff.

"Oh I didn't do anything. You got yourself on the front page", Denton said pointing at the pape as everyone else started grabbing for it.

"I said don't rip it!", Jack repeated. I glanced over at Spot.

"Where's my Picture?!", Spot shouted over and over again as he started pushing the others out of the way.

"Would you stop thinking about yourself?!", Jack shouted annoyed.

"So you get your pictures in the pape and what does that get you.", said a boy named Skittery. He was one of Derek's (my brother) best friends, when he was alive.

"Hey you've been in a bad mood all day.", Jack said to Skittery. I looked up at Spot Conlon as he looked up into my eyes. I turned away and blushed... No I can't be falling for Spot Conlon's. I just need to get some air.

I stood up and walk out of the diner and onto the street. It was hot and humid. I took another puff of my cigar and threw it on the ground. I decided I needed to cool off so I walked into an alleyway and took off my cap. I wiped the sweat from my brow and stood in the shade for a couple of minutes.

"Carter?", I heard a voice in the distance yell. It was Skittery. I started to panic as I tried to tuck my hair back into my cap. It was no use. I tried to find a spot to hide when someone grabbed my arm.

"Skittery?", I asked before turning around.

"Hey beautiful whats your name."
