ClearWater Academy - Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I don't own the Newsies. I do own Bambi, Braids, and Curly

A/N - NO MORE WRITER'S BLOCK! I finally wrote it! It's still not perfect, but it's written! Well, I already said thank you to my reviewers, but THANKS again!

******************************************

Well, it's official. My first pink slip of the year. It was from my history teacher, Mr. Pulitzer. But I really didn't do anything wrong. I disagreed with what he was saying, so I voiced my opinion. True, I was voicing my opinion on him giving us homework, but he didn't have to pink slip me! And starting Monday, I have detention everyday for a week. Oh well. I'm used to it.

While walking back to the dorms after class, Braids caught up with me.

"Um, Spot." she started. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, go ahead," I said, knowing full well what she was going to ask.

"Will you, um, go out with me?" She asked. I knew it!

"Sure!"

"You will? Oh my god, you will! YEAH! Well I'll see you tonight then!" She screamed

And then she ran off skipping.

Well I probably should mention that tonight is an unofficial "party" in our room. Because we have the biggest room (the only triple suite on campus), it's always used for the parties. This is gonna be fun.

Also tonight, I was planning on making the move on Bambi. So what that I have a girlfriend?

As I walked into my dorm, Blink stood up and started applauding.

"Congrats man! Curly just told us that you and Braids are a couple now!"

"Yeah. She just asked me," I said, not very enthusiastically.

Soon, everyone was in the room congratulating me, well everyone except Jack of course. More than ever, I needed a cigarette. So I took one out and was about to light up when David stopped me.

"Spot, I wouldn't be doing that if I were you," David said.

God that kid was annoying.

"Why? 'Cause you don't like it?" I asked, lighting it.

"No, 'cause you'll set off the..."

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

"... smoke detectors," David finished, covering his ears.

"SHIT!" I cursed, quickly crushing my cigg onto the counter.

"DAMMIT! Who lit a cigg?" Jack screamed, while walking into the room.

He saw me putting out the cigg and snickered.

"Nice going shrimp. Next time, go outside. Oh, and another thing, stay the hell away from Bambi, dumbass" Jack said to me.

Ok. He went too far. He crossed the line.

"I warned you," I began, clenching my fists. "And you don't listen. And now..." I took a step toward him and smirked. "...You're get your punishment."

With that, I threw the hardest punch I could right into his face. I think I even heard the bones in his nose crack. He flew back onto the wall and grabbed his now blood-covered nose. Before he could fight back, I punched him hard in the stomach. He immediately doubled-over and started coughing. By that time, Blink and Race were trying to hold me back.

"Spot come on man! Calm down!" Blink tried to calm me down.

But it wasn't working. I wanted Jack dead. I desperately tried to get out of their grips and eventually did. By that time, Jack had gotten up and was ready for me. I pulled my arm back and was about to punch when his punch got me in the jaw. That hurt. He can punch hard, I'll give him that. But since I'm used to fighting, I was right back punching and kicking him until Blink, Mush, Dave and Race finally got a hold on me.

Hey- I told you I have a bad temper. That's why I got in so many fights!

Jack used this time to run into the bathroom. Coward. Blink and Race were still trying to calm my anger.

"God Spot, ya gotta try to control your temper! Jack's just like that. When I first met him, he called me shrimp too. Yeah, it got on my nerves, but eventually he stopped, once he got to know me," Race said.

"The 'eventually' part is what I want changed. I want him to stop now" I said through clenched teeth. "And I hope that thought him to stop"

"Jesus Christ! SPOT I AM GONNA KILL YOU!" Jack screamed from the bathroom. "The party's tonight and I look like SHIT!" He added, walking into the room.

I tried so hard to hide my snicker, but I couldn't help it. He did look like shit. His right eye was swollen and was starting to get black and blue, and his nose too. Plus there was a huge bruise on his cheek. He just glared at me when I snickered.

"Well Jack, that's what you get for calling me a shrimp and a dumbass!" I said, snickering again.

He threw his hands up in defeat and sulked back into the bathroom.

This party should be an interesting one!
