that was... not bad. not bad at all.

*squeals* i loved it! spot is the best. he's so hot. hehe. and i noticed your "swing kids" "christian bale reference" lol. i just saw that movie like a few days ago. i practically worship christian bale and i've made it my goal to see all of this movies. so yeah. it's funny though. cause as much as i love him...in most of his movies he's not my fav...like newsies. hehe. i love spot. and your fic was great. and the fact that you made spot the artsy type. i love those types. i love drawing too so they attract me. and he's in a band. *swoon* great fic. i've babbled too long. bye...

omg that was amazing. i loved the ending. and the Destiny's Child thing was great.

I really liked this.

On a little ironic note, I think it was great how, because she had to ignore him (which he didn't know, obviously), he thought she was one of those "bitchy, thinks-for-themselves-girls," and that attracted him to her. So I'm guessing he wouldn't have been as interested if she had offered herself up to him and hung all over him.

This was definitely very cute. Actually, I'm not much for cute, but I do have to say that it was a plus in this instance.

I liked that it wasn't overtly silly, but it was still very humorous and laid-back.

Oh, and I like your "modern interpretations" of Spot and Blink.

By the way...the Killer Queen bit...awesome. Then again, so is Queen. I wonder what song of theirs Spot thinks *is* their best. Lol.

Thanks for posting this.

Cheers!

I really like this story its cute! Keep up the good work.

That was so cute. I seriously gagged... but in a good way! Like, I laughed so hard I gagged.

Bwaha! Totally awesome. I love AUs, they're the best. I especially love the part about laundry detergent. Classic.

Much love, SeraphStar.

I liked that a lot! i usually don't like modern-day Newsies stories, but this one was cute! I love Spotty he is my favorite! lol

/"Wednesday."

"Ash, that was only two days ago."

"Last Wednesday."

"Oh, he’s not calling you back, hon."

ahh...we all love Blinkee dear.

/"Don’t worry, sweetie, he’s just an ugly pig. I bet he’s flaccid, too," he adds with a gay lisp.
puahahaa...the weird thing is, when i first read that line, i actually imagined him saying it with a lisp...er, well, heard it...in...my mind.

/To get over Guy.
OH, is that his NAME? ...huh. Go figure.
Oh, well, okay, now THIS line makes a lot more sense: "Guy’s a pig, and I told you that. Don’t blame us."
Ha...that's clever. (Did you mean for it to be clever?)

/"Stop with the sarcasm! I can only take so much before 9 A.M!"
teehee. I love your humor. So refreshing.

/"Trey! Over here!"
Hey! Wait a minute...that name sounds familiar... Isn't that Blink's real name? (And I don't mean Kenneth Blink)

/I almost faint looking into his blue eyes. They’re so beautiful, they hurt.
Hm...okay, now I'm racking my brain, trying to think of a newsie w/ gorgeous *blue* eyes. There's so many!

/"I know," he answers, not taking his eyes off his drawing.
WHO IS IT ALREADY?

/"Spot Conlon. Nice to meet you,"
Oh. I'd always sorta pictured Spot as having gray eyes. But blue works, too.

/picking up a red pencil crayon and shading lightly.
a red pencil crayon? is that just an...error? I've yet to see one of those. And Spot seems rather like the intellectual, math-nerd type in this scene. Well, that's certainly a change from the way he's usually portrayed.

/Even Ms. Brightman is eyeing him in a very disturbing and wrong way.
Whoa! Get your mind out of THAT gutter! Seriously, what is the youth of this day and age coming to?

/he already has his binder out and is writing down the date.
okay, i don't mean to stereotype, but that strikes me as more like something David would do.

/It makes a faint sound and the teacher turns around, but I hide it in my coat pocket until she turns back.
OMG that reminds me. We once went through this whole painstakingly long, pointless ordeal over someone whose phone rang but they wouldn't admit it and blahdy blahdy blah. it was just SO annoying. But hey! at least it wasted a good 15 minutes of class time. a noble cause.

/not only is Spot usually wearing headphones, he also wears a perpetual "back off or I’ll kick you in the face" look.
Now THERE'S the Spot we all know and adore!

/trying to push Spot out of my mind and succeeding only in seeing him shirtless and wet.
Now THERE'S a pretty picture!

/"And Trey grabbed my legs, but I slam dunked the ball anyway and I totally kicked his ass
puahahha. funny concept...Blink kicking his own ass... Ay, I am too easily amused...!

/I’m not all that interested in one-on-one basketball games between you and whoever and skanky girls checking you out
SEE...? She WAS listening!

/"So, what’s new with you?" she asks, popping open her sushi container and pulling out a fancy pair of chopsticks.
Wow. From this description and the one above it you just gave, this chick sounds like she would bug the hell outta me w/ her utterly immaculate perfection. Stupid overachievers. What? No! Of course I'm not bitter! Why in the world would you think that?

/you...just piss off, Conlon.
Ha...if only you could REALLY add & subtract polynomials by pissing off Conlon.

/I just watched Swing Kids yesterday
OMG I WANNA SEE THAT MOVIE SO BAD! Bad...? Badly. Badly? Bad. OH, I DON'T KNOW! WHATEVER! GRAMMAR ALWAYS HAS THIS STUPID WAY OF DISTRACTING ME FROM MY PURPOSE! I WANT TO SEE CHRISTIAN BALE DANCING WITH A GERMAN ACCENT!

/And I so do not like it just because of Christian Bale.
She's clearly in denial. I, on the other hand, have absolutely no problem with admitting that I ONLY WANT TO SEE SWING KIDS BECAUSE OF CHRISTIAN BALE.

-The car I'm drivin' (even though i'm not really allowed to drive. yet.), I bought it... I depend on me! I DEPEND ON ME!

/The class rises for the national anthem
Puah. I remember when we still had to do that. I think we stopped that load of bull in 5th grade. sorry, no offense, if you're patriotic or anything.

/Maybe I’m just confused. Maybe I have feelings for laundry detergent, not Spot.
::cackles wildly for 5 minutes::
Ahem. okay. i'm good.

/he reaches across me to retrieve his red pencil that has conveniently rolled away from him
wait...they don't have individual desks? is this like the sit-in-pairs type desks? but...no, i thought...i...it--it...i can't handle this! WHA--WHAT IS GOING ON? THE DESKS! THEY CAN'T--THEY CAN'T BE--

/Reliably, it bounces back at me. Good ol’ bouncy ball. I’ve been bouncing it off my bedroom ceiling for half an hour while I talk to Blink on the phone and it’s only hit me in the face three times!

"Ah! Bloody hell!"

All right. Four.
Oh...God. Just know, if I DIE laughing...it'll be ALL YOUR FAULT! ALL YOUR FUCKING FAULT!

/"Marc and Sam don’t count. They’re too stupid to chew food. They just swallow it whole."
... ::still laughing::

/I’M FREE! FREE AT LAST!
THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, WE'RE FREE AT LAST!
I'm sorry. That was terribly rude of me. I shouldn't be making fun of that. That was a *beautiful* speech. It put me in tears.

/There was a seating change two weeks ago!
Yeah! WTF, man?

/Thankfully, Keith isn’t as flirty, due to the fact that his attention is rivetted on the redhead in front of him. Also, Keith is straight, so that helps.
Man! Just about everybody in this class has got raging hormones, eh?

/Discussion groups? I thought they were only in English.
Holy moley. Took the words right smack outta my mouth.

/Group Four: Frederick, Ashleigh, Karen, Scott
Ohh...that was just cruel...you evil, sadistic person, you!

/Why do I watch government conspiracy movies if they cause me to talk and think like that?
'CAUSE THEY'RE JUST SO FRICKIN' GOOD! EVER SEEN CONSPIRACY THEORY? THAT WAS A GOOD ONE! AND THE ENTIRE X-FILES SERIES JUST SCREAMS CONSPIRACY. WHY AM I STILL WRITING LIKE THIS? Okee, that's better.

/Spot’s grinning at me.
Lucky duck. I wish Spot were grinning at ME.

/Girls who think, for one.
Well, there go *her* chances. (no offense. i mean, i'm sure she *thinks* but it's usually only about boys, or so it seems.)

/And I tend to like the bitchy ones," he adds, smiling at me.
Well. Maybe not. (*PST! SMILE AT ME!*)

/He has a band?
HELL YEAH! EYDW LIVES ON! (btw, that's short for "Everything You've Done Wrong." Have you read that? By sloanne? Probably. Just about everyone in this fandom who can even call themselves a fan has.)

/Kind of a lame, sappy ending
...Mm...yeah, but hey. You had to end it somehow, right? And I liked it. It's a bit cliff-hanger-ish. But it gets the job done.

lol i loved this fic. im not a total spot fan, but this was great!!

jeni*

I love this story! good job.

Hi! *is usual spazzy self*

Ahem...anyways!

WOW!! I LOVE IT! You can really write. Like, honestly. I mena, I write. But, not like that. I can't write like that. I wish I could write like that. But...I can't. And I'm glad someone (such as yourself) CAN!

And of course, it SO helps that it's about Newsies characters. I love that movie. Seriously, I'm obsessed, it's sad.

But, you know the coolest thing? Now that I've found you (!!) I have a new person that I get to read everything they've got and review it like crazy.

I'm so glad I've found you. :D

Anywhoo, I also couldn't help but noticing that you write fics for birthdays! (Seriously, you're like my...favorite person right now.) So, because I'm me, I have to ask you for one! (Haha, I'm so pathetic.)

So:

Name: Jordyn (Ain't it unique? *icky face*)
Age: 15
Place of Residence: Oconomowoc, Wisconsin (Can you say BORING? Haha.)
Your Romantic Interest: Blink *lovingly pats Blink's picture* Ahem...
Possible Newsies Friends: Mush and/or Skittery cause I'm cool like that. :D

And yea, I think that's about it!

And yes, I WILL review everything you have written so far (because I'm weird like that) but you're gonna have to wait until my mom stops giving me chores to do. (I'm writing this review inbetween them all!) So, the next time you'll see a review from me will probably be later tonight...sometime...
