- - THE FOLLOWING FRIDAY - -

My focus has been all over the place lately...

My original plan for the year is dead and buried.

Instead of flying under the radar, I'm all buddy-buddy with the school reject club.

And then there's Naomi and Naser and all their issues...

Somebody's gonna find me out eventually...

Trish would definitely try to kill me.

Fang might too...

Naser maybe?

With all this shit going on, I have been able to work on my song.

I haven't made any progress in three days...

I stare down at my phone, reading my last few texts from Mia.

Mia: I'm totally down to help you car shop, bestie.

Mia: I've got a cousin in that area, so i'll just tell Mom I'm driving down for a surprise visit over the weekend or some crap.

Mia always says she acts like a bitch at her school, but never to me.

I guess I'm just lucky.

<{^}><{^}><{^}><{^}><{^}>

I time my arrival to homeroom perfectly so that the bell sounds just after I enter.

Classes pass one after the other in the same old daily slog until lunch arrives.

I grab a few burgers from the omnivore line and begin walking toward the outside seats.

Although, it's forgone conclusion as to what comes next.

Naomi: Drake!

Right on cue.

Naomi rushes over, followed by Naser.

I'd really rather not deal with her any more today....

Naomi: Come on, Drake, let's continue our conversation from earlier! You know, about extracurriculars like the gardening club!

Urrrrrgghhhh...This biiiiitch....

Drake: I don't know, Naomi. I really value my free time. And working on a personal music project, myself.

Naomi: During your free periods in Music, right?

Naser: Naomi, please stop memorizing the schedules of the new students.

Naomi: Sorry, but I did help Drake pick his electives.

Begrudgingly.

Naomi puts a finger on her chin(?) for a moment and stares into space.

Suddenly, her face lights up.

Naomi: Wait, don't you share that class with Fang? Maybe you could ask her for help?

What? How'd she manage to put Fang in this conversation?
