2nd Generation Newsies Chapter 3

Ally's POV

"Austin meet my family." I say. As I enter the house my 'family' looks at us. The nine other people are sitting in a circle on a mattress in the boy's room.

"Austin this is Race, Cassie, Samson, Bernie, Lila, Kevin, Yessie, Hunter and Limply. Guys, this is Austin."

"Hey." Austin says, simply.

"Hey" "Sup" and "Hello" are all responses I hear. Then the usual silence from Limply.

"So, you're the idiot that Race was telling us about." Bernie says.

"I guess." Austin says.

"Hey guys I made seven dollars today, so you guys want pizza."

"Yeah." Everyone say.

"Cool, I will go order it, be back in twenty minutes." I say, leaving Austin in the room as I leave to get the pizza.

Austin's POV

As Ally leaves to go get the pizza, I stand awkwardly in the room as the rest of the kids stare at me.

"Well, sit down, join us Austin." The kid, Hunter I think, says. I sit down and they still stare at me.

"Well, we are playing truth, want to play?" Bernie, maybe, asks.

"Sure, but what is it?" I ask.

"It is like truth or dare, but without the dare." Race says.

"Oh, ok."

Then Race speaks up again, "Here are our rules, no asking questions to Limply, except ones she can nod, or count on her fingers for." Race says.

"Why?" I ask.

"She doesn't speak." Lila says.

"Ok."

"Well it is my turn." Race says, "Austin, why do you suddenly want to be-friend Ally, I mean, you are enemies at school, aren't you, you want her and us to have our lives in danger?"

"No, I want to show her that we can be friends, I think she is awesome, she is an amazing singer, and is just the kind of person who is not afraid to be who she is, though I don't know why she wouldn't embrace the fact that the great Jack Kelly, a total legend in my school, is her great grandfather. That is the totally coolest thing in the whole wide world."

"Well, at least you have a reason."

Time Laps(They just played truth and ate pizza and Austin went home) this is the next day at school

Ally's POV

The next day at school, the school was turned upside down, when I walked in and not ten minutes later I was having a civilized conversation with Austin, not arguing. We were laughing about how horrible this girl on American Idol was. Our groups just looked at us like we were crazy then left us at our lockers, except Trish and Dez, who were bickering with each other. Then the bell rang and Austin and I headed of the chorus together. We walk in the room and all eyes are on us. We take our spot, and the teacher walks in, and everyone looks at her. She stares back.

"Well, I guess the date worked, considering that your groups aren't classing, and I don't have to give one detention." She says.

"Yep." Austin says, popping the p.

"Well Austin where did you take her?" The teacher says, leaning on the piano and staring at us.

"Well Ally showed me this place that is really special to her, and we hung out with a bunch of kids that live in Brooklyn." Austin says, really convincing her, I guess, because she aww at us and says that it was so sweet.

"I am glad that you two had fun, now I have a proposal, now that you two are friends, how about we do a huge number, a duet." I look at Austin, he looks at me, and we shrug, and nod.

"That's fine." I say.

"Yeah, that would be cool." Austin says.

"Good, ok so the song is The Start of Something New. Obviously from High School Musical. It will be made so there is a backup. Thank you, now here are you parts let's do this people."

Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance

I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened up my heart
To all the possibilities

I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here tonight

This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
Oh

And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new

Now who'd of ever thought that
We'd both be here tonight?
Oh yeah
And the world looks so much brighter (brighter)
With you by my side (by my side)

I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real

This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
Oh

And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new

I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me
Oh oh
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see
Yeah

It's a start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
Oh

And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart

That it's the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
Yeah

And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
The start of something new
The start of something new

"That was great guys, dismissed." And the bell rings.
