Because I actually have some time right now, and because my friend told me her horror story today... She lost 123 pages. Well, okay... 104 pages. But even so. That's a lot of writing. So I'm going to start backing everything up on LJ. Especially since I don't have most of these chapters on my computer. I mean, I know it's fanfic, and I'll probably never look at it again in a year or two, but... I mean... This is where it started, you know?
So.

You Wouldn't Believe It...
I'm a girl. Living with a bunch of guys. Yeah. You want to make something of it?
I felt that way, too, back when I first met them. I mean, come on. One girl. Fifty boys. Sleeping in the same room and sometimes sharing bunks. I'm crazy, right?
But seriously, nothing happened. You wouldn't believe it, but these guys are so sweet. Yeah, sweet. Newsies. The same ones who go around cracking jokes and beating people up. Yeah. Who would've thought?
Anyhow, I trust them now. I mean, Jack beat Morris up 'cause the guy "looked at you"--well, me--"the wrong way". You can't get friendlier than that. Not that I'm in love with him or anything. Don't get me wrong! I love him and all, but... He's just too much of a brother, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying.
But some of these other guys, you know... They're just too cute. I mean, look at Racetrack! All right. Maybe I'm just saying that to annoy him. But seriously. He's funny and cute and Italian... Then there's Mush, who's just your ideal male specimen. Physically, anyway. Honestly, though, he's the sweetest guy ever. Blink gets a little rowdy sometimes, but he's still really nice. And who can forget the all-mighty Spot Conlon? That boy has got to be one of the most gorgeous guys I have ever laid eyes on in my life.
Fine. I'll admit it. I have mad crushes on basically all of them. I mean, which sane girl wouldn't? Or insane girl, for that matter? 'Cause I ain't all that sane, if you catch my drift...
But that's beside the point.
Anyhow, you wouldn't believe it. You just wouldn't believe it...
All these adorable, sweet boys, they're all in love with each other. Yup. Cross my heart and hope to die.
We don't talk about it much, but I think most of them know that I've got it figured out. I mean, they're not as secretive as they used to be. Around me, anyways.
Yeah. Imagine that. And all these big, tough guys, they get all shy and coy with each other, and it's all cute and adorable and everything, but you just want to throttle them 'cause they're so obviously obvious, and it just makes me sick, you know what I'm saying? Don't get me wrong. I don't have a problem with it or nothing... I mean, the whole boys liking boys thing. Okay, maybe it does bug me a little, but that's only because I'm a little jealous, you know? Yeah. I don't mind admitting stuff like that. It gets obvious after awhile anyway, you know?
But anyhow, that's where I got the idea from. You know, to set them up. Since they don't seem to be able to do it themselves, I'll do it for them.
That's what friends are for, right?
I mean, it's not like I got anything to lose?
...Right?
