The Graduating Class of '09 (Class of '09 (Re-Up) x Male Reader)

Chapter 9 - 'Mind'

"The mind can be powerful with dedication and consistency. A weak, feeble mind will allow people to prey on your insecurities and blind spots that you once believed that were never discoverable. A strong mind can be adaptable to any situation if desired. A brain must be trained or else it'll become mush. Would one rather have the will of a tree or the mind of a mountain?"

-Actually Fucking Draw (Alternative Route)-

Nicole and the gang had decided that it would be in their best interest to participate in art class. Nothing worth getting sent into remedial for.  Although, Nicole was still pessimistic as always:

Nicole: "This is gonna suck ass."

Jecka: "Yeah."

(Y/N): "I don't think it'll be too bad. I'm not that good of an illustrator either."

Nicole: "It's still gonna be ass either way."

(Y/N): "Mood."

Mr. Lorre had come over to their table, noticing some of their expressions turning into frowns and sighs of frustration. "I'm sensing negativity over here, girls."

Nicole: "it's negative to think your class is a waste of time?"

Jecka: "That's not negative, it's just accurate."

Nicole: "Yeah like you're gonna fail us for being bad at drawing."

Lorre: "I'll fail you if you're bad at giving effort."

Jecka: "But there's no tangible achievement in this class. That's fucking stupid."

Lorre: "Watch the language."

Nicole: "Watch The Office."

Lorre: "The Office? The TV Show?"

Nicole: "Yeah it's for people who aren't funny, you'll love it."

Kylar: "Hey I like the office."

Jecka: "Yeah so why do we have to draw and paint? It's our last year of high school."

Lorre: "You're never too old for creativity."

Nicole: "We don't know what we're doing, we're just finger painting with brushes."

Lorre: "Well if you put the effort in maybe you'll learn what you're doing. Or maybe I'll have to fail you this year."

Jecka: "No I'll do it, it's just dumb as shit." She then went into a mutter. "Next terrorist attack better be at an art school."

Lorre: "Yes, and Nicole? Can I trust you will participate?"

Nicole: "Can I trust the housing market?"

Lorre: "Both of your friends doing it, why not join them?"

Nicole: "Because both of them want to go to college and shit, I just wanna hang out and get fucked up."

Jecka: "Respectable."

(Y/N): "Deplorable." They both turned to him with blank expressions. "What?"

Lorre: "So you won't be participating?"

Nicole: "Nope."

Lorre: "Then maybe you can serve as my teaching assistant for the year."

Nicole: "And what's that entail?"

Lorre: "Cleaning brushes, organizing supplies, and posting to our MySpace pages."

Nicole: "Why would you put any of this on MySpace?"

Lorre: "Online networking is the future. What if one of you kids went viral and spun a career out of it? Have you heard of Owl Town?"

Jecka: "You mean Owl City?"
