🛋 ( chapter seventeen )
AFTER CORY'S DOCUMENTARY for Mr. Feeny's class was watched completely and he turned off the television, the class began to applaud him, including her. Which is probably one of the things she swore would never happen, especially to Cory. "An excellent start on your documentary, Mr. Matthews."
"What?"
"Yes, excellent. I said excellent. And I was talking about something you did. I don't know what came over me." Mr. Feeny told the student and he was damn right. What had come over him?
"Wow. Mr. Feeny, y─you really think that I made a good film?" Cory asked his teacher as he sat on chair seat and held the tape in his hand.
"Uh, no. I think The Graduate was a good film. What we have here is an excellent─"
"What?"
"Don't toy with me, Mr. Matthews. I would simply suggest that this being your senior year and N.Y.U. having a wonderful film program, that this student film could be the foot in the door to a fine university."
"Mr. Feeny, are we really talking about Cory? Cory Matthews? Son of Alan and Amy Matthews, boyfriend of Topanga Lawrence and best friend of Shawn Hunter?" Valentina asked sarcastically, causing Cory to look down on her. She laughed and laid her back against the back of her chair.
Teasing would always be her thing.
"That said, are there any comments on the documentary we just saw?" Angela raised her arm.
"Angela."
"No offense, Cory, but your project looks like you ripped off that show on MTV— The Real World."
"I've watched it with Gi, I kinda agree with her." Valentina lied. She had never seen that show before but before she could say she was just teasing him watching Cory start to break down was so much better.
"I have no knowledge of this Real World of which you speak. My Real World is the real, real world." Cory told the girls seriously to later hear the bell being rung. Both girls looked at each other and smiled as they put their things in their backpacks, then sticked their tongues out at Cory and smiled at him.
