Y/n is the Queen of New York, or at least that's what everyone calls her. But who wouldn't. She has everything. Great looks, great singing voice, luck with selling papes, and an amazing boyfriend who also happens to be the leader of the Manhattan Newsies, Jack Kelly. But her life isn't all that perfect. She has flaws like the fact that no one knows her true identity. No one knows her past, no one knows why she was in the refuge all those years ago, and certainly no one knows who her father is and she intends to keep it that way. But when a female reporter by the name of Katherine Plummer, shows up following the story of the newsie strike, y/n's secret is on the verge of being shared to everyone, and to make matters worse, it seems Jack isn't the greatest boyfriend ever when he constantly seems to be pinning over Katherine and ditching y/n. Can y/n keep her secret and her boyfriend or will she have to choose one or the other? If it says 'Liza' anywhere please tell me so I can change it or you can just mentally change it to 'y/n' because it's a reader insert now!!! /\/\/\/\/\Highest Ratings/\/\/\/\/\ *as of 04/12/21 - #8 in #newsiesfanfiction - #6 in #newsiesthemusical - #2 in #andrewkeenanbolger - #22 in #jeremyjordan - #63 in #newsies
