Quarterback & Stats (Newsies | Sprace)

Chapter 2

Race was standing by his locker talking to his friends Spencer 'Skittery' Joe and Rowan 'Romeo' Shore about an assignment in their science class when all of the sudden Romeo and Skittery got really quiet really quick, which was unusual for them. Race spun around slowly to find that Spot and Jack were standing behind him.

"Can we speak with you?" Spot asked Race.

Race nodded his head yes before whispering Romeo's ear, "If I don't return tell Specs to stay away from my turtle."

Romeo laughed as Race followed Spot and Jack. To say that Race was scared would have been an understatement. He avoided the football team to the best of the ability unless he was stuck on a bus with them. The group of three of them ended up in the janitor's closet.

"Anthony," Spot said.

"Anthony? No one ever calls me that. Racetrack or Race for short," Race replied.

"Anthony, Race. Oh god, I don't know how to say this," Spot said looking at Jack for help.

"I am not allowing you to leave this room Spot until you tell him," Jack said standing in front of the door.

"Tell me what," Race said confused, "I'm I supposed to know something. If you want me to change your grades, lunch schedule, move a game, that's all easy."

"You can get our games moved?" Jack said surprised.

"I can but you never heard it from me," Race said quickly. Sometimes being good with computers had its perks.

"Race," Spot started, "I like you." Race looked at Jack confused, as Jack was about to burst out into laughter.

"Am I missing something thing here?" Race asked.

Spot continued, "Race, please I've been watching you-"

"Well that's not stalkerish," Jack snickered as Spot thumbed him on his head. Then Spot did something he had not planned on doing, he leaned in and kissed Race. Race was surprised at first but eventually kissed back and wrapped his arms around the back of Spot's head, as Spots hands found their way to Race's waist.

The kiss was interrupted by the first bell. "I have to go to class," Race said quickly sneaking past Jack and disappearing to the mob of people in the hallway.
