Jolene's POV: Day of the fight, 8am Wednesday September 6th
In my head I am panicking. About what you ask? Not about Daphne, no. About fighting the most powerful, charming, might I say attractive student in the whole boarding school! He has been training for years. No to mention he has already done this once before in his freshman year. I'm still shaken up about everything but a little bit of fresh breakfast should calm me.
Spot's POV:
Poor doll, she had to watch her bestfriend get taken off in an ambulance, had a guy try to get in her pants, and was challenged by a world renown legacy hero. All while trying to win the stupidest thing since sending white men to a new country. I didn't get much sleep and I'm betting she didn't either. Don't mistake my sympathy for weakness, I will crush her today without hesitation, I'll just feel bad afterwards.
I'm walking to the cafeteria after isolation for the last 15 hours when I bump into someone knocking us both down.
"Oh my god, are you ok? I'm so- oh hey Spot." I hear the sweet nectar that is Jolene's voice say as she gets up and offers her hand.
"I'se fine, tanks," I reply taking her hand and wiping off my joggers. (he's wearing black joggers and a tight... TIGHT light grey tank top with regular black running shoes. She's wearing the same but the tank top is sage green) "How's are you'se? I heard ya cryin' last night" I ask with concern. I live by the phrase 'we are humans first, super humans second' and if I'm being honest, not to good at the human emotions part.
"I'm ok for the most part, wanna have breakfast together?" She questions. I accept her offer as we make our way to the breakfast part of the cafeteria. She orders a veggie (add any you want) omelet with hashbrowns. I myself ordered an egg sandwich. It's scrambled eggs with fresh mint and avocado pesto on it, served with a selection of fresh fruit. It's my favorite thing on the menu.

*Ring* Jolene's POV:
The fight starts and me and Spot are pouring every last bit of energy we have left into this battle. Fire flying left and right, tornados, earthquakes, sinkholes, hurricanes, typhoons popping up everywhere. It's chaos. The crowd is eating it up! Bleachers split into 2 sides; team venom or team king. One problem...
We are too evenly matched.
After 2 hours of constant attacks, we still don't have a winner. Me and spot are both battered and brusied, but also determined. My mind is telling me "you've come this far, you might as well win it!". I split the ground wide open as spot jumps and avoids it. I keep the canyon as I use my wind to kick up dust, desperately trying to throw him off his rhythm. I send the tornado his way and it does its job. He's flustered and covered in dust, not to mention temporarily blind. I take this to strike him when I get hit with a sudden force of heat. As I skid across the ground I hear the bell ring.
Spot won.
"Students, after a thrilling match between our very talented finalists we have our fight week winner! And the winner is... Sean Conlon!" The headmaster declares as my classmates go crazy. Confetti everywhere screams echoing through the air as I get up to congratulate him.
"Congratulations Spot. You fought well" I say patting him on the back.
"Oh don't give me's dat stupid 'pat on da back' crap and give me a hug doll!" he yells over the crowd pulling me into a bone crushing hug. For the first time since I met him, I saw a genuine smile on his face that brought one onto mine. I don't care that I didn't win but I'm sad I don't get to go to New York.
"All right students settle down, settle down!" The principal says into the mic as everyone sits down again, "As our winner this year, Mr. Conlon gets to go anywhere in the world with the student of his choice, if he wants to take one, for the rest of the week. So Sean, where would you like to go and who are you taking?"
Spot scans the crowd then looks back at me who is getting sympathetic pats on the shoulder from my friends before saying "I'se wanna go home ta Brooklyn, wid do- Jolene." He announces proudly into the mic.
A mix of confusion, disappointment, and shock spread throughout the crowd. Everyone then goes back to the main hall to get their final fight week showdown opponents as I am brought to my dorm along with spot who hasn't dropped the giddy grin since he won.
"You'se excited doll face?" He quizzes with the smirk that never fails to weaken my knees.
"Yeah, but why'd you pick me?" I ask entering the Snake Den
"Cuz I'se hoid ya friends talk bout you'se wanting ta go ta New York, plus I'se was going home anyways. You'se has been trough da roughest week eva, so's I'se wanted ta make it betta." He retorted shyly.
"Aww, why thank you my lord," I say in a mock British accent curtsying, "Do ya wanna go? If ya don't it's fine I'se'll just-"
"No, no. I want to go I was just asking Spotty. Now go pack up, the private plane leaves in an hour!" I remind him, scurrying into my room and squealing. I have dreamed of going to New York since I was 5 and now I get to spend 5 days in my favorite city with Spot. Wait, I have to spend 5 whole days with Spot fricking Conlon!!!! FUCKKKKKKKKKKK
What do I wear? I don't want to embarrass myself!
As I start worrying, I hear a soft knock on my door. It was spot. "Hey uhh just so's you'se know, my folks think you'se are my goil so's if dey's ask, we'se datin ok?" He asks not really looking for a response.
"WHAT THE FUCK?" I yell storming into his dorm, which looks like a mess right now.
"Rememba dat chick dat was obbsessed wid me?" He asks
"Which one?" I sarcastically snap back. It's true though I had no idea which one he was talking about
"Da one from Snow Owl," I nod, "She's told my dad we'se was datin and wanted ta meet you'se" he said sounding almost sorry
"Fine, but no kissing! got it?" I state firmly
"You'se have my woid doll"
A/n: Ahhhhhhhhhhh! hi hi sorry about this chapter!!! I just wanted to get it done so a rewrite of this will be coming soon but for now here you go. I can't wait to see what happens in New York. This is where some of the other newsies will come in the story. One more thing, I need a name for Spot's dad so any suggestions would be great. Don't forget to eat food, drink plenty of water. NOT MONSTER ENERGY OR COFFEE OR TEA, but water, and have a great rest of your night/day!!! <3
