Math. The bane of all retards and lazy intellectuals.

I got finished quickly, though, and spent the whole time texting Mia.

A paper lands directly on my phone, causing me to look up and see the technicolor burnout waving me over while his partner has a weird expression on her face that I don't bother deciphering.

I walk over with a small sigh. I catch Reed saying something about Honesty as I get closer.

Weird.

When I get close enough, Reed takes another chair and puts it in Trish's other side before taking a big pull from whatever is inside his thermos.

Definitely not coffee.

Trish: Hey, Drake!

Why's she so happy?

Drake: 'Sup guys? Need something?

Trish: Nah, just wanted to chat a bit since we got the time.

Consider my guard raised.

Drake:....Sure.

Reed: Imma let you get to whatever...gonna go for a refill...

He shakes the thermos and heads for the door.

What's in that anyway?

Reed: Don't ask...

Fair.

Trish: So...Drake...You and Fang?

Drake:....What about 'em?

Trish: They've been talking about you.

I'm briefly overtaken by a warm feeling, but it leaves as suddenly as it appeared.

Drake: Cool. Hopefully good things.

We talk pretty regularly in Science. Naser was right about her being a good person once you get to know her.

I showed her my Mixing App and even let her listen to a few of the beats I crafted. Not THAT one, though.

Drake: Does this have something to do with the mixes i showed her?

Trish: Er...Yeah, it was. What exactly are you talking about with them?

Drake: She bet that I knew nothing at all about music, so I showed her I did.

She raises an eyebrow.

Trish:...Right.

Drake: Why ask? Something wrong?

Trish: Where'd you learn that?

My brother introduced me, but I taught myself.

Drake: Self-taught.

Trish: Ever thought of being a Producer?

Ah. I see. She smells an opportunity. Fair.

Drake: I've been leaving my options open lately, but the thought has occurred to me.

Trish: Fang said you were good. Be grateful, cause she never compliments anyone.

Drake: Why the sudden interest?

Go ahead and ask.

Trish: I was wondering if you'd produce for our band.

There we go. Pros: I get to hang with Fang and Reed. Cons: I have to hang with Trish....
