Newsies Short Stories

Javid-Soulmates?

The first words that your soulmate would say engraved on your thigh. Jack Kelly would just paint over them so he wouldn't have to think about it. While Davey had studied his for a while think there was some sort of scientific explanation behind it, there isn't by the way.

Jack Kelly had the words 'sorry,I'm new here.' The only thing was no one new had come into this school apart from the start of the school year which was like 3 months ago. So Jack just thought he wasn't going to met his soulmate till he got a job, which was very unlikely.

Davey Jacobs had the words 'Watch it, I almost dropped my paints.' Now Davey is due to start at his new school today. He just told himself not to bump into anyone with paints. He didn't want to find his soulmate. He didn't need to.

Davey made his way through the school, he kept looking between his timetable and the classroom door, he was trying to find his way to his first class. He wasn't really paying attention when he walked straight into someone.

"Watch it, I almost dropped my paints." Jack said.

"Sorry, I'm new here" Davey said.

The two just looked at each other. Davey did the only thing he could, he walked as fast as he could to his next class. His teacher told him there was only one seat left and pointed to it. Davey got his equipment went the person he was going to be setting next to for the next two periods, it was a double lesson, sat down. 

Davey looked up. No, this wasn't happening. It was the dude who just said his words. Davey wished the floor would just swallow him then and there.

"Didn't get chance to introduce myself, I'm Jack, Jack Kelly. Though some of my friends call me Cowboy." He said, Davey looked at him. God, that smile could kill someone.

"I'm Davey Jacobs." He smiled, unsurely. 

The first 15 minutes of lesson was silence. It was nice, Davey didn't have to speak to this person. 

"Right. You are going to be working on a history project. You may chose what historical event you do but you are going to be working with the person next you. You have 3 weeks including the lessons we have together." Davey's teacher said.

Nope. This couldn't have been happening. 

"I would quite like to do it on the Newsboy's strike, in particular the one in 1899."Jack said.

"Sure, I would love to learn about that." Davey smiled.

They had been looking in textbooks and writing down the facts they had found out for the lesson. The boys agreed to meet up after school at Jack's flat to finish it off.

Davey had found out Jack was adopted by someone called Medda and she brought him the flat underneath her flat.

-----------

Jack and Davey were sat on Jack's couch researching the strikes of the newsboys. It was silent.

"Dave" Jack said, Davey looked up and nodded. "You said my words." Jack said.

Great, Davey thought, just great. The subject he'd been avoiding all day.

"And you said mine." Davey said looking down. 

Jack put his fingers under Davey's chin and lifted his head up. They both stared into each others eyes. In this situation you'd expect Jack to be the one to lean in but Davey did the unexpected and he leaned in and kissed Jack. Jack kissed back and the two melted into a kiss ignored the project they were working on.
