the west end newsies cast performing king of new york at the big night of musicals
David has math with Bumlets, history with Crutchy and Blink, science with Tommy boy and Specs, and English with Dutchy and Kathrine. He meets Jack when he gets assigned to tutor him in English to help get his grades better than last semester’s. Dave never really spoke to any of the Newsies he shared classes with so when he and Jack went to the Lodging house to grab homework to work on for a tutoring session, he got to formally meet all of them. He also didn’t know they were called anything other than their legal names, so when Jack said he shared classes with his friends on the way to the Lodge, David had no clue who he was talking about.
Dave tutors Jack in English (his worst subject, ironic) start of second semester junior year (most of the characters are going to be juniors except for a few which I will explain in a different post). At first David found Jack kind of annoying, but over time, he grows fond of him. After a few weeks of everyday sessions Jack’s grade starts to show improvement so, jack takes the two of them to go get coffee one weekend. While they’re out Jack asks Dave if he can help him on an assignment for a different class, he agrees and they drive down to the Lodging house to grab the project and head back to the coffee shop where they could get more peace and quiet then staying at the house.
The moment Jack opens the door the two are greeted with Pie-eater and Bumlets on the floor, wrestling for a Wii remote, being cheered on by Finch and Romeo, Racetrack filming the entire thing, and everyone watching like it’s a completely normal event. Jack pulls David passed that, and up the stairs to the bunks while David attempts to look back to watch the fight. As they walk over to Jacks bunk, David gets a whiff of what smells like boys locker room. Jack obviously doesn’t notice given he’s used to it, so Dave doesn’t comment and try’s to ignore it. Jack grabs his school bag and they head back downstairs to leave. Pie and Bumlets, still fighting, dash up the stairs, Bumlets behind Pie, accidentally hits Daves shoulder, causing him to loose balance and fall down the stairs. He grabs Jack to regain balance but ends up taking Jack down with him (forth floor to the ground). The two fall and Jack ends up right on top of Davey with their faces like 5 inches away from each other. They hear a laugh and Jack looks up to find Race standing in front of Kloppman’s desk writing something down. Jack knows Race will tell the whole house so he quickly gets off Dave, walks over to him, hits Race in the back of the head and whispers something to him, inaudible to Dave who is still picking himself up off the ground. David helps Jack regather his homework and the two awkwardly leave the house and get into Jack’s truck. Once they get in, they sit there awkwardly, trying to find something to say. Dave blurts out and apology and Jack apologies for Bumlets knocking him down. A few seconds pass and they drive back to the coffee shop. It’s around 3pm when they get there and they stay until closing at 6pm.
That’s all I have written out on paper so far but it’s all in my head and I will try to get the grade list and first chapter out soon.
Nights with the Newsies can either go two ways, everyone goes to sleep at around the same time, or just the younger Newsies then the rest are downstairs doing who knows what. Once everyone is asleep making a noise could be life or death, and by death I mean a pillow to the face or back of the head. They hate when people talk when they’re trying to sleep so if you walk through the Lodging House at night it’s dead silent and I mean dead silent. If you make a noise that isn’t controllable, like talking, many of the boys will throw pillows or mumble/yell to go back to sleep at the source of the sound. Some of them like snore or sleep talk (which is very rare but has happened) but they know who it is because of how used to it they are. Mornings aren’t any better, a lot of the boys are not morning people in the slightest.
I know this like doesn’t make any sense but it does in my head and will probably make more sense on paper.
can someone explain to me how they got the idea to make jack an artist in livesies, like seriously it is never at all mentioned in 92sies that he paints, only that he wants a better life
I will be posting the outline of the story soon, probably later tomorrow if I remember. unfortunately I have state testing in the morning. But soon it will come.

I really only post Newsies related content but occasionally like West Side Story, The Outsiders, or any other musical just because
I like Newsies/Newsies the original movie, Hadestown, West Side Story, 13 the musical, Falsettos, The Outsiders movie (haven’t seen the broadway yet), other musicals
I also post Harry Potter content because it’s taking over my brain
I’m writing a Newsies highschool fic and will mostly be posting updates about that at the moment
Feel free to ask me stuff I don’t mind
WE NEED MORE JAKE APPRECIATION

Each Newsie has a mug that only they use. They have a cabinet in their kitchen specifically to store everyone’s mugs. Each cup is special/specific to each person, some made the one they use and others were given or bought theirs. Each mug is labeled at the bottom with the Newsies nickname and all the ones that aren’t labeled are for anyone to use.
(i thought of this while making hot chocolate and i grabbed my favorite mug and was like, huh hc time)
