•DREW'S DIRTY SECRET•

Ms. Kind lets us out early. She's not as mad at us than the kids that left when she went to the bathroom.

There's about half an hour of practice left. Thank god! At least I won't miss the whole practice!

I walk out into the hallway to see Drew sitting on the floor. He is just staring blankly in front of him. I look to see where he's staring, but theres nothing there, except for a locker.

I really want to go to practice, but my conscious is telling me to stay and ask him if he's ok.

Ugh! Why do I have to be so nice!?

"Hey, are you okay?" I ask sliding down onto the floor next to him.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He replies in a monotone voice. He's obviously not okay.

"No you're not." I say turning towards him.

"What's wrong?" I ask again.

"I already said! NOTHINGS WRONG!" He shouts angrily.

Jeez! Someone is unhappy, I really want to go to practice, but I just can't because the "kind" part of my brain is telling me to stay, and it's keeping me in one place.

I just stay next to him for at least five minutes.

He turns his head to look at me. "Why are you still here?" He asks with confusion and a slight bit of annoyance in his voice.

I just look him in the eyes and then look away. "Why don't you just go away!?" He repeats in a louder voice. I know that he needs someone to talk to.

"Ugh!" I think that gave up trying to get rid of me.

"So what did you do to Avery?" I ask after a few moments of silence.

"I didn't do anything to her, I just said no." He tries to explain to me. But I don't quite get what he said no to.

"Everyone thinks that I'm the coolest guy at school, and that I've slept with every fucking girl at school! I actually have a brain, I wouldn't take advantage of girls like that! I'm not a bad person! I mean sure I've slept with a few girls, but not the whole fucking school!"  I understand where he's coming from, but I don't understand what he said no to.

"Avery asked me to make out with her, but of course, everyone knows Where that goes eventually! I just said no because........... I mean, have you seen her, she looks like a beat up prostitute! I'm not gonna hurt her. I guess that she's never been turned down."

Wow! I just found out that the "bad boy" isn't so bad after all!

"Girls make rumors about me, saying that I banged them, but really i didn't!" He looks up into my eyes, and I can see that he has a helpless look in his crystal blue eyes. I have a feeling that there's probably more than just that, it's probably family related.

He just stares helplessly into my eyes. That lasts for about thirty seconds, and then there's a noise that comes from the other side of the hall.

Wesley comes running down the hall. "It's a stampede!!" He calls, as he gets closer, I see a crowd of angry football players sprinting towards him. I look closer and see that the uniforms of the football players are from our rival school: Kennthany high! Oh boy!
