One year. For foster kid Jack Kelly, only one year stands between him and freedom. All he has to do is keep a low profile and stay out of the way of his foster dad. Everything was going fine until he was forced into the drama program, partnered for a class project with two nosy smart kids, and somehow gained the protection of the captain of the football team. Suddenly, staying under the radar becomes much more difficult.

As he deals with escalating abuse at home, his new friends begin to notice that Jack's life isn't normal and that he is far from okay.

Newsies Jack Kelly x OC (Alyssa Stoll Doesn't Do Love) by fanforfun111

This is a Jack Kelly x Girl Newsie story I wrote this story because I couldn't find the Jack Kelly fanfic I wanted. Also I feel like there aren't enough books where the guy is trying to get the girl rather than the other way around. We stan an independent queen. Jack Kelly has had a crush on Alyssa Stoll since he first saw her in the alley when she was 7 years old. The only problem is Alyssa is too tough for boys; she insists that she doesn't do love. Will Alyssa ever get over her stubbornness and give Jack a chance? And will Jack ever have the guts to tell Alyssa how he feels? Please give this fanfic a shot; I'm working on it really hard and am so proud of it :)
