Disclaimer: I don't own newsies, sadly.

A/N- this first drabble is by Skitts. I, SPECS, personally think it is hilarious! So I decided that Skitts was going to have these couple things in the story:

Specs and Skittery

The line, "Would somebody please kill that fly?"

Of History Notes and Oprah

Specs is the biggest nerd I have ever laid eyes on. He reads math books for fun, and get this, he actually understands them!

Right now he's got his nose stuck in some book called, "Flatland" and it's all about these little shapes that move around and talk to each other and stuff. He's been trying to explain to me that it's all about hierarchy and acceptance, but really, how many squares do you know that have feelings?

"It's not talking literally, Skitts. The shapes are figurative representations of us."

"Hey! I ain't no square!" I hold up a fist to show him that I'm not messing around. I am armed.

"I never said you were a square, stop being so sensitive."

It's a good thing I can control my temper, otherwise, he'd be on the ground crying like a little baby, he's capable of it, I know.

He goes back to his book, thank goodness. I don't have to listen to his stupid metaphors anymore and I go over to sit on the couch. Its four o'clock which means Oprah is on. Not that I watch it or anything...okay, I do, but only because she has such cool hair.

"Turn that off please, Skittery."

Specs hasn't even looked up from his book. I smirk and then turn it up louder.

"Please!" he yells.

"What? I can't hear you! The TV's too loud!"

Picking on Specs is fun. It would be more fun if our other roommate, Snitch was here, but he works until six. So it's just Specs, me, and Oprah.

I ignore Specs' begging and focus on the important stuff, right Oprah's hair.

"That's it!" Suddenly, Specs is sitting on me trying to pry the remote out of my hand.

"Aw come on, Specs. Cant ya go read at Dutchy's or something?"

"There are too many distractions at Dutchy's place, not that there aren't any here." He rips the remote free of my grasp and then puts it in his pocket, which makes me laugh because the remote is so big, and his pocket is so...well, not.

There's a knock on the door at five and I open it 'cause Specs is so interested in his stupid book.

"Dutchy!" I say when the door opens and finally Specs shows signs of life by looking up.

"Hey Skittery," he says shoving a notebook at me. "You forgot to go to history again," he said.

"Dang, I knew I was forgetting something." I move aside and let Dutchy in. Dutchy makes a bee line for Specs and the two start up in a "deep philosophical discussion that's too thought provoking for you, Skittery, so please, go away."

I consider beating the both up for a second, but if I beat up Specs, Dutchy won't let me copy his notes, and if I beat up Dutchy, well, he wont have any notes and I just make up my mind to go to Snoddy's house to beat him up, (hey, he likes it!) When there's another knock at the door, finally I'm beginning to feel like a freaking butler as I pull the door open.

"Snoddy! I was just thinkin' about you, pal!" I drape my arm over his shoulder and lead him inside.

"I just came to drop this off, Skitts." He shoved a notebook at me just like Dutchy had. "You forgot to go to art history again."

"Dang, that's two out of five."

"Will somebody please kill that fly already?" Dutchy shrieked suddenly.

"The truth is, Dutchy, there is no fly." Specs says, and that leads them on another philosophical tirade and I turn to Snoddy and roll my eyes.

"Wanna go catch a movie?"

"Yeah."

So after I get my coat (It's cold outside, why else would I need one?) we step out into the hallway and there's Itey.

"Hey guys," he says and shoves a folder into my chest.

"Now what did I forget to go to?" I ask.

"Ancient civilization."

"I take that class?"

"Yeah. You're getting an A, too. Great essay by the way."

"Come on Skitts." Snoddy grabs my arm and pulls me away from Itey, who looks sad for a moment.

"Snoddy?" I say as we step out into the cool night air.

"What?"

"I don't remember writing an essay.

A/N- So that was Skitts cuter little drabble! Yay! Don't forget to review for this chapter!
