Summary
It’s unfortunate to be sitting in one now, gnawing at his nails as he tries to keep his head above water. His knee bounces, and with every bounce, his brand new Vans squeak against the tile floor. Not broken in yet. He bought them on sale as a Christmas gift for himself three months ago, and just hadn’t felt the urge to wear them yet, but he finally wore a hole in the sole of his other pair and today is his first day wearing them and they’re uncomfortable and he just wants to scream. Had he known he would be driving three and a half hours today, he would have just sucked it up and wore the old pair. But these things are unpredictable.
At least, most of the time. Jack knew something was wrong. He knew something would happen. He just didn’t know it would be this bad, and he hates himself for it.

Summary
Skittery liked David, he did, but the guy wasn't hard to read.
--
'He couldn’t believe he thought that this would be an easy sell, and just to get to Dave’s for some biscuits. Admittedly, it was mostly to prove a point to Swifty, and partly because he was bored. Still, it had backfired on himself and his emotional state more than he was expecting, which realistically he should’ve known it would. Because it was always easy to think about something, and how it would work in theory. In practise, out loud, it was different.'

Summary
Once Mayer is cleared to go back to work, though, nights like those are few and far between.
As promised, as soon as their father finds a new job that will be easier on his health, Les and David are back in the classroom, learning literature and arithmetic as though their summer hadn’t been taken over by the strike. David had considered it a miracle, and Les had dreaded it since the start, but school was in session and David finally had structure back in his life.
That was what was missing, right? Structure. A clear plan. No roadblocks, no mishaps— a guidebook to the rest of his life, one he had made up when he was far too young to worry about such things.

Summary
Nonetheless, it’s another two hours or so before he checks his phone. He responds to a few messages from aunts and uncles, posts a “thanks for the birthday wishes!” on his Facebook to appease his menagerie of cousins and grandparents, and finally opens Snapchat to see what those notifications are. When he does so, he sees a few chats from Jack- not an uncommon occurrence- but the last message stops him in his tracks.
jackie: hey happy birthday! i know i already told you but oh well

Summary
Cause Davey knows the world, no matter how different Jack’s or anyone else’s situation was to his. Knows that the likelihood of their success was near zero, that they would get crushed before they even began. And he can’t face that, can’t face his friends bruised and bloody with nothing to show. Can’t face his mother with empty pockets and see her face shatter and split with grief. Can’t face his failures of being the son he so desperately wants to prove he can be.

David shook his head in confusion. “What are you talking about? You should agree with them, there is something wrong with me…” He couldn’t help the way some of his self-doubt showed in his voice. Albert only shook his head in response. “No Davey, there ain’t anything wrong with you… I don’t know if you is, but ya might be like me?”
There were four specific moments in David's life where he felt like something was wrong with him. Turned out he only needed Albert to tell him he's not as alone in his experiences as he thought he was.

Adjusting to a new life, a new society with new people, is difficult enough, but David just had to go and get himself involved in a strike, all because one of the newsies has very familiar eyes.
