Sam And The Newsies

Chapter One - New(sie) Friends

  Sam glanced at Les. "You sure about this?" He asked quietly. He was PETRIFIED! He was meeting Davey's friends, who just so happen to be (in his opinion) the coolest guys ever.
"Yeah, it'll be fine!" Les grinned, giving Sam an almost knowing look.
"I'm not so sure..."
"Come on!" Les tried to jump out of the car while it was still coming into the driveway.
"WOAH woah woah, slow down, tiger." Sam shouted, reaching across the backseat and closing his door.
"You're no fun!!! You're almost as bad as David!" Les half-yelled.
"Woah, leave ME out of this!" David shouted from the driver's seat, putting the car into park.
Sam chuckled and got out, his steps shaky as she walked towards the door. "I'll be fine, I'll be fine, just relax, it's just some rowdy teens, they won't even notice I'm here." He muttered.
He took a deep breath and followed Davey inside the house, stress filling his mind.
Sam slowly walked into the small house. "It's bigger on the inside..." He joked, stifling a laugh.
"WAS THAT A DOCTOR WHO REFERENCE I JUST HEARD?!" screamed a voice with a heavy New York accent in the next room over. It took all of Sam's courage to answer with "Um, yeah."
A short blonde boy walked up to her. "UH hey," He said awkwardly.
"Relax!" The boy said, holding out a hand. "Name's Race."
"Um... I'm Saman-- I mean, Samuel. Samuel Barnes."
"Nice to meet ya, kid." Jack turned the corner past the hallway right on time(for once),grinning.
"U-Um, hey.... Sorry I'm really awkward and weird but you guys are, like, friendship goals??" He said quickly, slowly shrinking up.
Davey walked up behind him. "It's okay, just relax a bit. These guys aren't that scary." He layed a comforting hand on Sam's shoulder.
"Oh really? Well if we ain't scary, what is we?" Race said teasingly.
Sam wanted to correct Race's grammar so badly.
"We's a group o' nerds that don't know what the hell we're doin'. We ain't no scary attraction." Jack laughed, playfully punching Race's arm.
"But if we was, you'd be the scariest thing there!" Specs shouted.
"Oh, ha-ha." Jack laughed, sticking his tongue out at him.
Davey grinned. "See? All talk."

Sam took a deep breath. "Yeah, a-all talk."
