"Uptown is a part of the Harlem borough." Jack started. "They hark headlines for upper Manhattan. Everyone knows Fred Dalton, the leader of Harlem; decent guy. There's rumors that he's secretly Uptown's leader too; under the name Mason."

"Wouldn't the other newsies find out?" Davey asked. "If he was 'Mason', he'd be revealing his own secret."

"That's the kicker," Jack chuckled. "No one's ever seen Mason."

New Kid, New Century • A Newsies Fanfic by mkestis
26 parts Complete
It's been over a year since the strike has settled and the newsies haven't had any problems with Pulitzer since. But that's not to say that they didn't all have problems outside of work. Jack and Katherine were unhappy together. They didn't feel the love towards each other that they used to feel. Yet they were too scared to say something to one another. Crutchie wanted for his long-time crush to love him back, although he knew that would never happen. Still, one could dream. Davey and Les's father had been severely injured by an incident at work. He wasn't so lucky this time around and passed away due to blood loss. This drove their mother into a state of insanity, forcing Davey and Les to pack up their things and leave. They now live on the streets with their fellow newsies, struggling to support themselves just like every other newsie. Their lives were still pretty crappy and hopeless, but hey, they were still alive and that was what mattered. Then, a new kid shows up at the gates of The World and sends their lives into chaos once more.

When his Newsies brothers destroy something very valuable to him, he decides to leave the Lodging House m and never return. Will the Newsies ever realize Jack's sacrifice or will they lose their brother forever? Hi, everyone! I have recently re-read the first story I have written on this platform, "The Disgraced Newsie", and decided that it deserved to be updated as my writing abilities has gotten better over the time I have been on this platform. The original story will still be available, but I felt that the first story that gotten me into Wattpad in the first place deserved a rewrite. Enjoy the story!

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
