Chapter 21
Evalina's P.O.V.
I hopped under the bed making sure to grab my tablet and pen as well. I haven't posted anything and I had to cancel the Q and A. I drew a quick comic then posted it to my Instagram and Twitter saying I had rescheduled the Q and A for tomorrow 6:00 p.m Central time
I continued to animate and draw when I heard the door open. "Hey, E. You in here? Three crazy boys are coming to look for you." Stephanie whispered. I poked my head from under the bed. "I'm here. How long will it take for them to get here?"
"Fifteen minutes." Stephanie said checking the time. "Perfect, I'm gonna need to borrow your makeup." I said. I ran into the bathroom with a plain white dress that came down to right above my knees. I pulled it on and put my hair into a half up half down style. I took out my contacts and put on my glasses that had a cat eye look. I put on some lipstick and covered up my freckles. I then proceeded to put on an red trench coat. To complete the look I added my fingerless gloves and put on white vans.
I ran out grabbed my messenger bag, stuffed some clothes in it, my iPad, my paints, phone, and some money. "I'll be back by the morning. If they ask, I'm with Dan that'll give me some time. Please stall. Bye, Steph." I said waving. "I'll stall the best I can. Nice prank by the way." She said smiling. "Where are you going though? I don't want Jeff to worry." She said.
3rd Person P.O.V.
Truth was was that Stephanie wanted to make sure she was gonna be safe. "Don't worry about it." Evalina said. She took and umbrella and used it as a cane. "See ya when I do." Evalina said running out. She looked down the hallway. She saw the elevator doors open and knew it was the boys.
She ran in the opposite direction. She did a full circle and saw them at her door with Stephanie. She went into the elevator and it closed just as they entered her room.
Meanwhile the boys were at the door talking to Stephanie. "Steph have you see Eva around?" Josh asked. "Depends... I saw her at the theater." Stephanie said. "Is she in there?" Ben asked. "Nope." Stephanie said smiling. "Now if you don't mind it's getting late." Stephanie said starting to close the door.
"Not so fast, we wanna check if she's in there." Sky said. "Okay, Skybelle. But you're not gonna find her." The boys searched not finding anything. "You didn't hear it from me but before she left from here she said something about going to Dan and Jacob's." Stephanie said.
"Thanks, Steph." They said. DeMarius had given up and told the other three to avenge him. They began walking to Dan's. Stephanie closed the door and began speed texting Dan, speed texting was something she had become quite good at in the past few weeks.
Steph: Help, Josh, Sky, and Ben
are all coming to your and Jacob's
room to look for Eva, will you
stall and lie for her
Dan: Sure, but why am I stalling and
where is Eva actually?
Steph: She said she won't be back
until morning and you have to stall
because Eva scared all of the boys
that were in the dressing room and
now Sky, Josh, and Ben want to get
her back
Dan: Okay, I'll stall for our little sis *^*)
Steph: Thanks, Danny and goodluck
Stephanie laughed at Dan's text. She put on Beauty and the Beast and kept her phone out.
"We are so getting her back." Josh said as they were walking to Dan's. "You bet we are." Sky said. "I wonder why she went to Dan and Jacob's." Ben said out loud. "OoOooh, is someone jealous?" Josh asked poking at Ben's side. This caused a blush to creep onto Ben's face. "N-no. Of course not, I'm just curious."
"Oh, Benjie. You're such a terrible liar." Josh said poking at his side's. "Hey!"Ben whined. They made their way to Jacob and Dan's. The knocked on the door. Jacob answered. "Heyyyy, Jacob, our friend, our buddy. Has Evalina, by any chance, happened to stumble upon your door." Dan smirked and walked over. "Don't come a knockin' on my door." Dan almost managing to shut the door on their face.
"Ha, ha! Very funny, Dan." Sky said sarcastically. Dan opened his door again with Jacob by his side. "What have you come to our humble abode for?" Dan asked. "We were wondering if you've seen Evalina? Or if she's in there now?" Ben asked. "Why?" Jacob asked. "Because we need to get revenge." Josh said.
"Well, revenge is never the answer boys. Never fight fire with fire." Dan said. Making sure they couldn't see all the way to make it look suspicious. "Is she hiding in there?" Sky asked. "No." Jacob said. "We'll believe it when we see it." Josh said trying to look in. "Ha. Ha. You're not coming in without a password." Dan said.
"What's the password?" Ben asked. "I can tell you that we've said it three times already." "Oof" Ben said. "The answer to your question is..... we." "No." Jacob said. "We give up." Josh said. "Good job." Dan let them in."Welcome." Dan and Jacob said.
They searched the room. "See, she's not here. Be patient young newsies and wait until the next morning. Because she won't be back until then." "What do you mean?" Ben asked. "Welp, look at the time, we should be getting to bed, right, Dan?" "Yeah, I'm super tired, Jacob." Dan said ushering the three boys out. "Well, we'll see you tomorrow. " Jacob said.
The three of them began walking to their hotel rooms when their phones dinged. It was an instagram notification.
@E_onBroadway: Q&A tomorrow at 1800 central time

Evalina sat in a taxi. She looked around her, her earbuds in her ears. her bag was stuffed to the brim with paints. She posted her first clue. It was perfect, her outfit was a clue. She made sure everything she needed was there. Evalina sat in the car patiently. She had about a three hour drive to the New York City.
She was just glad she had people stalling for her. She checked with Playbill and they found a building that the owner didn't mind if she painted. Evalina would have to paint fast, since she was short on time she made sure to use paints that would dry fast but were still good quality. It was expected to rain tomorrow so she had to work quickly, luckily she had done bigger projects in less time, it would take hours with no breaks but she knew she could do it. She would have to.
Evalina started doing a rough draft. She decided to pass the time doing such. She made sure to get the correct location.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Ben, Josh, and Sky looked at their phones. "She followed me?" Josh asked surprised. "Same here." Sky said. "Yeah, I was gonna ask you guys abut it earlier but never got the chance." Ben replied recalling the day he got the notification. "Do we know E on Broadway?" Josh asked sounding super excited. "Well, even if we did we don't know everything about them obviously because we don't know who they are. " Ben reasoned.
They all walked back to their hotel rooms. "We'll find her tomorrow." Josh said. "Is she answering her phone?" Sky asked. Ben and Josh sent a numerous amount of texts but she didn't respond. Sky tried calling her multiple times but she didn't pick up.
They all sighed and Sky parted ways heading to his and DeMarius' room.

It was around 1 in the morning when I finally made it to my destination. I hopped of and began running up the steps shoving past people. I kept running until I made it to where I needed to. I grabbed a piece of charcoal and began drawing it out.
Five hours later she was done. Evalina leaned against the brick wall watching the clouds beginning to come together. She ran to the nearest store she bought a white umbrella and a hot chocolate. She walked back towards the painting and looked at it. She did the same pose as the woman. She put her black bag on her shoulder. She signed the work. She made sure it was dry and began walking the streets of New York city she made sure to circle around to the are where the painting was.
She heard people pull out their phones. She stood directly in front of the painting in the exact pose. Then she stood a few feet away from it. Someone came up to her. "Do you have any clues for us?" A little girl asked. Evalina smiled and nodded she handed her a card that had another rhyme.
The next stop?
A rest stop?
Somewhere not nearby
A place of race
A place with Race
The trade of a card
Isn't that hard
A week you may wait
But a reward might await
Here's a new clue
The Newsies are true
Ask them a question
An answer may ensue
(A/n: Sorry if this seems stupid, I'm not a very good writer like I said ;;)
Multiple people came up and asked for hints which she gladly provided. She didn't say anything to them, all she did was give them the card. Before she left, Evalina made sure that the Playbill photographer got her picture.
Evalina made her way to her apartment. She entered then changed into the spare clothes she had brought. An oversized t-shirt, some jeans, her white vans, and her regular glasses. Evalina made sure to sip off the lipstick and to put her hair into a high ponytail. Once she decided what to wear she took a quick shower then changed.
Evalina sighed. She locked her apartment then made her way down to where the painting was. She hid a couple of cards around so more people would have the clues. She took the picture of the painting then one of what the card said. Once satisfied she checked the time. It was 10! Oops.
Evalina went to a nearby Starbucks. She got a chai tea. Evalina then made her way down to the subway. She'd arrive back at the Proctors by the time the boys were done with lunch. Evalina turned her phone on to check if she had any messages when her phone died. She sighed and brushed her dark brown hair out of her face.
She hopped into another taxi and watched her surroundings. She had a lot of time to pass. She realized that she would probably have some people trying to text her and that people would be expected to come up with an explanation.
To be continued
Hello, hello, hello lovely Fansies/Spectators. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'm sorry I haven't really incorporated the YouTube part of the story but I'm going to make sure that I incorporate it more, I was more concerned with making a basis in which the cast had made a close relationship with her but now that that has been established it can be more incorporated. Please bear with me for the next 4-5 weeks until I get out of school. I might not update because of all the finals I have coming up in the next 2-3 weeks but I'll try my best *^*)The next chapter is gonna be the same but in the Toursies point of view. Also I was thinking of getting a YouTube or Instagram for drawing comics or doing animation videos kind of like Evalina except about me. Let me know what you think about the chapter and that idea in the comments. Thank you and wishing you all the love,
Specs ;)
