I was sitting down at my desk, forehead on the table, so I could draw without the teachers noticing. Drawing was one of my talents. Moderately. It keeps me busy when class becomes boring or I lose motivation in focusing. However this time the teacher wasn't here on time and the class was lively. I don't know how. It's a Monday and I feel like I haven't slept for days.

I had recently moved to this school. It was a pretty good one, I'll give them that. They have actual supplies and good quality food unlike other places. The people here are half bad either.

As I sat there doodling, a girl with a sheepish smile walks up to me. She was kinda like one of the pretty girls but not one of the "Big five Brittanys" as I called them. She taps my shoulder I look up to face her. "Hey! Um.. so you're new here, right?" She questions. I nod slowly in response. Though I wouldn't say three weeks in is new. "So you don't have to or anything but a club might be in your best interest. You get to meet new people and do cool things! Might I suggest the paper team?"

I look at her in confusion. "Paper team?" She sighs. "The school news paper. We call ourselves that. We're short on photographers this year. I'm just trying to see who will join." She says now annoyed. I look back to my book uninterested. "You get paid!" She says as a last resort. Now that got my attention. I could use a little extra dough. I look back at her. "How much?" I ask.

"25 bucks, depending on how good the photos are and how many places you go to." I couldn't see a lie on her face. Unbelievable I thought to myself. I put my hand out to shake.

"I'm in."

"So we have a few sports open- Tennis and Baseball are taken but Hockey, Basketball, and Volleyball are free-" Before they could finish I interrupted "Volleyball?" I didn't really know why but I've always seemed to like it. She looks at me surprised and nods her head. "Volleyball it it's. However.." she trails off. I give her a 'What?' look. "The girls volleyball team is taken. Are you comfortable being the boys volleyball team's photographer?"

I stood with my hands on a desk covered with papers. It was the 'Paper team HQ' and surprisingly clean besides the mess on the table. I had walked here after class with the girl. I appreciate her concern but I gave a confident smile. "It's volleyball, my dudes." She shoots an concerned look towards me. "Sorry. It's a vine thing. I'm fine with being on the boys volleyball team."

With that she nodded and wrote down my name under 'Volleyball (Boys)' She gave me a hand shake and said, "You're all set. Let's see there next game would be.. tonight! You can take a camera." I look at the paper she had her finger pointing at. I got the time of the game and where. Perfect. I stood up and nodded at her in a prepared sense. She nodded back and I took that as a dismissal.

I walked out of the room and down the hall. However it wasn't very long before I heard a familiar voice.

"Y/n!" He shouts

I turn around and give him a smirk. "Tanaka!" I shout back. He walks up to me and we do our handshake. Up, down, fist bump to a jellyfish, draw your pistols, bang, explosion~!

"Wassup, my dude?" I ask him. I had known Tanaka for only a few weeks but we just clicked. He liked memes, I liked memes, I'd make a reference to a vine, he would finish the sentence. Tanaka was like my access to memes, gossip through out he school, and trends on social media. He is a great guy.

"Nothing much. Oh! Actually, I got a game tonight." He answers. "I don't knew you did sports. Unless it's poker or black jack because then, dude, be careful." He laughs at my statement and then continues. "Volleyball actually." I look at him in astonishment. "What?" He asks confused.

"I just got a gig as your guys photographer, dude.." I say. We both smile at the same time. An eerie and terrifying smile. "Hell yes, dawg! LeT'S GO!!" He shouts. I chuckle at his erratic behavior. But suddenly our vibe was shut down by a teacher.

"TANAKA!! DETENTION FOR YOUR FOUL LANGUAGE!!"

He looks at the teacher and then back at me. The teacher then confirms himself. "NOW." Tanaka looked at me with a apologetic face and shrugged. "See you at the game?" He asks. I nod and answer. "See you at the game, dude."

With that I walk away to continue the school day.
