•On A Cloudy Day• ||sequel to My Goil||

Prologue

"Race?"

"I'm in love with you."

She opens her mouth to say something but is cut off.

"I just want you to know that I will never stop loving you and I will wait as long as I have to for you." He finished.

He frantically tries to read her facial expression, to give any clue of how she feels.

She looks into his deep brown eyes. Tears slowly stream down his cheeks.

She takes her hands and places them on his face.

She pulls him in and places her lips onto his.

He melts into the kiss, pulling her in closer.

She smiles, their lips moving in sync with each other's.

The newsies all cheer from behind.

They break away from the kiss.

"I love you y/n l/n."

"I love you too Racetrack Higgins."

"Y/N! TIME IS UP." She hears Gladys yell. Y/n rolls her eyes.

She pecks Race's lips one more time before jogging over to the dock.

She takes one more look at the boys before stepping onto the large boat.

Here goes nothing.

- 2 weeks later -

Today is the day y/n meets Gladys's family friends.

Apparently the other orphan is already there.

They knock on the door waiting for someone to answer.

A lady opens the door. She is tall and has grey hair that is up in a bun. She is wearing a dark blue dress.

"Gladys, lovely to see you." She says with no emotion.

Gladys nods. "You as well Beatrice." She responds. She walks in, dragging the girl behind her.

"This is your room, you will share with the other orphan girl." She says throwing her onto the cold ground in the room.

"I will come fetch you when supper is ready." She deadpans, closing the door behind her.

Y/n looks around the room.

It's a small room with one window, a dresser, a vanity, a small closet and a... bunk bed.

"So youse can choose any bunk ya want. We'll switch around if wese has ta." Cructhie says, smiling sweetly.

Some boys groan at the mention of the possibility of moving.

She smiles widely and runs into the room.

"I call top bunk!" She says excitedly as she climbs up a random bed.

Blink grumbles as he walks over and takes his pillow off the bed she claimed and hands her a new one.

"Thanks Blink." She blushes.
