"Guys! Guys!" Race jumped up and down. "It's here! It's here!"

"Open it!" Crutchie grinned widely.

Dear Manhattan Newsies,

We've been way to out of touch. Things have been crazy and it sucks that we don't talk that much... I should tell you that I think of you each night.

"Aww." Race cooed.  (Oh my gods, tHE SONG STARTED PLAYING ON MY SPOTIFY RIGHT NOW) (BEHDHDB) (tHe tiMiNg)

——

"Why would you right that!" Books whacked the younger girl's head.

"I'm just tryna tell the truth." Anastasia shrugged.

I should tell ya that life without ya has been hard-

"Hard?" Books furrowed his eyebrows.

has been bad-

"Bad?!"

has been ROUGH.

Books rolled his eyes. [kIn- *gets knocked out*]

I'm writing you the most amazing headlines-

——

"Aw!" Jack laughed.

——

"No!" Books glared.

I know that you'll be obsessed with all my hawkin' expertise!

——

"Absolutely!" Albert grinned.

——

"Why am I even trying?" Books sighed.

——

Stais I'm proud of you, just keep pushing through! Yer turning around, wait and see!

Jack scribbled, every Manhattan newsie looking over his shoulder.

——

"Just wait and see!" Anastasia nodded, elbowing Books.

Sincerely me...

Anastasia's tongue hung out, scribbling neatly.

Dear R. Higgins,

Huh, it's been a while Jerk. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I'm okay and I'm in Queens. (Yes Queens you read that right) They're actually not all that scary. I hate to say (write?) it but in a way we're very similar. Who'da thunk that Manhattan and Queens have stuff in common.

Anyway, just checking in.
Sincerely,
A. Redwood.

"Queens huh?" Race mumbled to himself. "Suits you Stasia."

"You got love letters Race?" Albert cackled, elbowing Race. [*war flashbacks*] [im rereading this and i have no idea what the flashbacks were from] (me too-)

Race flushed bright red, turning away.

"Definitely love letters." Jo Jo laughed.

"Aw, let Racey-Boy read his letters by himself." Mush rolled his eyes.

"Maybe he'll finally get himself a goil." Blink grinned.

"Can't you peoples just leave me alone?" Race groaned.

"Nevah." Finch crossed his arms.

Dear Jack,

By now Race should've received my other letter. So... how are you guys doing? I'm in Queens now. Before you scream at me- they're actually really nice, gave me the top bunk. I never had the top bunk cause Race took it.

I'm getting side-tracked! But anyway,
Tell everyone I love them!
Love,
A. Redwood

"No fair!" Romeo huffed. "Why can't I get a letter from Anna!"

"Anna?" Crutchie questioned.

"Anastasia," Romeo said in a 'duh' matter.

"Ha! I got a letter and you guys didn't." Race stuck his tongue out.

"That's because youse her best friend." Finch huffed. [race: we're such good friends!] [me, an intellectual: you're in love with her] (you did that with Temper and Fox) (sToP sPoilInG mY bOok!)

"I got one t-" Jack began but Race cut him off.

"Shhh, let me have my moment Jackie."
