I head into class and start working on a math problem. Then a kid comes over. "Wanna check the answers?"
"Oh, I'm not done yet." But a crowd comes behind my seat and they start looking at my paper and they say everything is wrong.
I head outside to recess and I stand there.
"Okay...let's make another compromise. Do you want to continue the friendship or-" I get a text on my watch.
"I'M MOVING!!!"
"What?" Jace, Oliver, and Henry said.
"I'M MOVING," I chuckle, "I GOT THE PART! YES!! I'M GOING TO BE IN A SHOW! YAY!"
"Uhm, no...no...no...you're just making stuff up!" Henry said.
Then the bell rings. We head into class. A guy in a suit comes into class.
"I'm looking for Nicholas." Everyone points to me.
"Come on! We changed the name, by the way, to Nicholas Overwhelmed. It's still going to be about a sensitive kid, with a bad dad and bad brother, and how everything bad just happens in life, until a miracle happens."
"Oh by the way, I'll continue." I say as I walk out the door and get ready for Hollywood.
I hop into the guy's car and he says, "I'll drop you off at home and come to pick you up in a couple of weeks."
