Quarterback & Stats (Newsies | Sprace)

Chapter 3

Race was sitting at his lunch table with Specs, Davey, Romeo, Skittery, and Marshal 'Mush' Meyers.

"Mush, the potatoes are already dead," Skittery scolded Mush as he continued to mash them with his fork.

"Not dead enough," Mush laughed before taking a bite of his potatoes. The group was laughing at Mush when Spot and Jack sat at the table. Spot and Jack usually sat at the other end of the lunchroom where the rest of the football team and cheerleaders sat.

"What are you doing?" Race asked Spot looking at him scared. Race looked behind him to see that the whole other side of the room was watching them.

"Sitting," Spot said before eating some of his potatoes.

"You are so unbelievable," Race said before standing up and dumping his tray and disappearing into the hallway.

"Did I do something?" Spot asked setting his fork down.

"No, you didn't" Davey answered.

"Then why did he leave?" Jack asked this time.

"Race, he doesn't really like the attention. He's more of a behind the scenes kinda person," Romeo said.

"What do you mean," Spot questioned.

"He doesn't like to be the center of attention, he would rather not be seen. Like with the football team, he plays a big part but no one ever notices him, but it does not bother him," Davey said laughing, "I'm gonna go find him." Davey left the lunchroom and headed to the one place he knew Race would go.

"Race?" Davey asked sticking his head into the Tech-lab, "You in here?"

"Unfortunately," Race muttered while finishing up a line of code on a computer.

"So what's up with you and Spot," Davey asked sitting at the computer beside Race's.

"We kissed," Race mumbled to himself but loud enough for Dave to hear.

"Wait! Like lip to lip," Davey said grabbing Race's chair and spinning him so they were facing each other.

"That's what a kiss is right, you idiot," Race said laughing.

"Wait who kissed who?" Davey asked excitedly.

"He kissed me," Race said shyly.

"Racer has himself a boyfriend," Davey sang while spinning around in his chair.

"Ugh, I'm never gonna hear the end of this," Race complained.
