Sorry this took so long, but I lost inspiration and I hope this is as good as the last one. I'm sitting at my computer about to go to a Halloween party as Spot Conlon. Hehehe. I love Newsies.
Disclaimer- I don't own Newsies. I own Fire and the war.

The next day in the ISS room:
"I can't believe you got me in here," Skittery muttered sitting in his chair next to Snitch.
"I couldn't let you get out with nothing," Snitch smirked. Skittery got out his history notes and started studying.
"I can't believe you actually study, oh yea, I forgot, your in band your life sucks monkey balls most of the time," Snitch laughed at his own joke. Skittery took a deep breath and kept studying. Snitch made several more cracks at Skittery's life before finally just reading a LoveHina manga.
Jack walked into the room and scanned it for Mush, his 'study buddy'. Mush was in a seat in the far corner, almost hidden from the rest of the people. Jack sat down and got out some paper. They started playing a game of hangman and with the way their minds work the game was fairly disgusting and sexual.
Spot sat down across from Dave and just stared at the boy doing his English homework. Dave kept looking strangely at him.
"Would you stop that, you're acting like NSYNC," Dave whispered.
"What? Sexy?" Spot retorted.
"No, gay." Spot glared and got a sci fi book out of his bag. "But, you were half right about the sexy thing." Both boys smiled.
Blink and Race were at lunch again, watching the last pieces of yesterdays meatloaf slide off the wall.
"So tell me how this all started again," Blink said swirling the dregs of fajita around his plate.
"Ok, well Spot got the basketball team to agree to pants the drum line, but then the football team wanted in too. So they pants the whole band," Race answered.
"Well, what about the last war how'd that start?" Blink always looked to Race for the answers. They had been best friends since they were toddlers. Race had been the first one Blink told about his new girlfriends and well Race told Blink about Fire and his conversations with her through their windows (Yes they live right next door to each other ((Fire and Race))).
"I don't know how it started, but I know that there were a lot of bad fights, and you know the one football player was killed.
"We better go, it looks like another fights going to start, look at Dutchy," Blink nodded toward the boy in the Dockers on the far side of the café. Dutchy had stood up with a pudding and was aiming toward a table full of clarinets. Race agreed and they bolted out before Dutchy launched the chocolate grenade at a curly haired girl named Samantha.
Snitch elbowed Skittery in the ribs.
"What," Skittery snapped. Snitch looked amusingly puzzled before punching the poor brown haired boy in the stomach. Skittery doubled over then glared. "I won't lower myself to your level," he murmured.
"Snitch, for once in your life leave the band alone!" Fire said. Snitch jumped a foot in the air and turned to face the girl.
"When did you get here?" he asked breathing heavy.
"About 5 minutes ago, I'm on ISS duty," she replied sitting in the desk in the opposite corner.
"But your still in school," Snitch argued.
"Doesn't matter, juniors and seniors can watch the ISS kids if they're office aide," she said. "Now stop tormenting Skittery." Snitch scowled at the girl and looked at his science homework. Skittery smiled in thanks at Fire and she nodded. Skittery went back to his history. Snitch tried to concentrate but kept throwing side-glances at Skittery, wondering why he thought Skittery was so cute when he was punched.
Dave, Spot, and Fire were enjoying a delightful conversation about tension.
"Ok, guys, I'll prove it! Put your hands up a few inches apart. (Dave and Spot put their palms together) No, a few inches apart! (They separated their hands, blushing) Ok, wait. There's no tension! What's wrong with you people?" Fire said. Spot and Dave shrugged sitting back down farther from each other then before, still blushing light crimson.
"I told you it wouldn't work," Spot said.
"It does too, hold on," Fire went over to Snitch and Skittery. They held their hands apart and she waved her had between theirs. "Guys come here! All of you!" Spot, Dave, Jack, and Mush came over and each waved their hand between Snitch and Skittery's.
"Wow it does work!" the boys said. You could feel energy between the boys, bad energy, tension. Fire nodded in a knowing way. 'I'm not as stupid as you all look' she thought to herself. 'Well all except Spot, and maybe Mush, but only shirtless.'
The boys soon went back to their work, as they steadily got bored with tension.
Suddenly the door opened and Blink and Race slammed it behind them.
"What's wrong?" Fire asked.
"The bell just rang for ninth period and the jocks are loitering the halls looking for band members who're out of class and giving them swirlys!" Blink exclaimed.
"Sit," Fire nodded toward the empty desks. The boys sat and Fire noticed something was off about Blink. She walked to him and looked closer.
"Blink," she began. She leaned in closer and whispered, "what happened to your eye patch?" Blink turned from her and took it off. An 'X' was cut in it.
"Ok, Jack, why is there an 'x' in my patch?" he asked, replacing it on his eye.
"It means you're a traitor, didn't you play basketball when you were a freshmen?" he answered and asked.
"Yea."
"Well, you're a traitor. You're scum and we will hurt you, bad. Just like we're going to hurt Skittery bad."
"Why me?" Skittery asked, looking up from his book.
"You were on the football team in eighth grade," Snitch answered.
"Do you guys keep tabs on each other's pasts?" Fire asked.
"Yea," all the boys answered.
"You retards, this war is pointless, you do know that, right?" she said irritably.
"I agree," Race said. Fire gave him a smile and he almost melted in front of her. The bell rang for end of school.
Yaya! Chap 2 is done! Chap 3 will come, sometime.
