Blondie thanked the man once more before grinning at Sand as they left the general store. He couldn't wait to open his telescope. It was supposed to be exactly like the one he had back at home.
"It'll be great to see the stars with this again." He patted the package. "I even ordered special lenses to make the stars seem even bigger."
He couldn't help but be excited. It had been so long since he had been able to see the stars through a telescope. Technically, he had the funds to get the telescope much sooner, but he didn't want the other newsies getting suspicious. Having that much money already would give him away.

Sand cocked her head slightly. Again? Did he say he'd seen through it before? She couldn't bring it up though. Something was just off now...he was hiding something and she knew that...but he was her friend...she wouldn't bring it up because they were friends.
I even ordered special lenses to make the stars seem even bigger.
"That's great!" Sand smiled trying to hide her thoughts from earlier. She needed to forget. "So you can see planets bigger too?"

"That's great! So you can see planets bigger too?"
Blondie nodded with a grin big growing on his lips. "Mmhmm! I read in the paper that these lenses will let me see the details on the moon!"
He was practically glowing with excitement that he hadn't noticed his slip up. He was just too excited to finally have a telescope again.

"I'm sure it'll be amazing." Sand smiled softly. "It'll be fun to see it all." She wanted to bring up what he said earlier but he seemed so happy and she couldn't break that glow of happiness.

"I'm sure it'll be amazing. It'll be fun to see it all."
Blondie's grin widened as he nodded. "It really will. I can't wait to show you all the different stars and planets." He pulled out a worn out pocket-sized book. "I got this a long time ago and it helps me find all the stars." He flipped through some of the pages and pointed to different constellations. "This one should be clearly seen tonight. It'll be great!"
He couldn't help but ramble. Stars were his thing. The one thing he could always enjoy whether he was the rich kid or just a plain old newsie.
