Simple Days

One

<POV OF DRAKE>
"Drake..?" The teacher questions. The class already seems dead, and she's only taking up a review. Calculus. Great.
"Drake, what is the answer?"
Mr. Trunton asks for what seems like the hundredth time in the first two weeks of school.
I sigh and tell him the answer something along the lines of the infinity not existing or something.
"EXACTLY"  exclaims the teacher.
"Perfect! Now class when we have the blah blah and the blah blah blah" he continues as I zone back out. I already know all this non sense.  My eyes keep wandering around the room, Jake picking his nose, Dan flirting with some girl who was wearing a to tight shirt. The my eyes flicker back to the clock.
I am way to excited for the lunch bell to ring. Today will be the day the Film club gives out the project for the 2014 film fest in NYC!
5 minutes.
"Now class, don't pack up just yet, the bell isn't the one that dismisses you, I do." 
I roll my eyes as the teacher stars speaking faster. Mr. Trunton was known for being that hard ass annoying teacher who keeps you late.
30 seconds...
15, 5, and...
Drrriiiiiingggg
Finally! Everyone gets up and jets out of the classroom before Mr.Trunton can object. Man am I fast. They should call
Me speedy Gonzales!
"Drake, yo man what's the rush?" Dan comes by my side.
Everyone meet Dan Lestoner. Pronounced lest-on-ir, but that didn't stop the le stoner phase in his life if you know what I'm saying. Sometimes having a French background could do him good to, he scored with the ladies.
"Film Club man!" I exclaim "I can't believe you already forgot Dan!"
Unlike most best friends me and Dan were really different. Really. Dan was a ladies man, charismatic, he had good looks and charm, popular, and he was not good at school work. I on the other hand was a socially awkward nerd. BUT we both had a love in film making.
"Oh shit yeah man! I forgot about that!must have been the hottie all over me in class today , hmm" He laughs it off and I give him a little shove.
"Ass" I smile.
"Your favourite ass in all of  BradWell Heights " he smirks.
"Your too cocky for your own good." I laugh.
And he nods innocently.

We walk into the film club and
I notice a lot of new faces. I mean.. alot.
I take a seat and look down at my phone to avoid awkward eye contact. Who says I have no skills for the real world? I am totally prepared for my maybe average life as a socially awkward 90 year old with only one friend, trolling kids on online games. I have my life set out people.
"OKAY, my lovelies! Eyes up here young grasshoppers!" We all look up at Ms.Wendack  the teacher responsible for the film club, and the guidance counsellor. She was really nice, just... A little bit crazy.  "Today, my little caterpillars, you will break out of your chrysalids and become beautiful film forward butterflies!" She looks toward the side of the room where the members of the film club are sitting, and then turns her head to the other side of the room where another group of students are standing, "and you," she says to them "will be the amazingly talented flies who will be pulled and wrapped into a spider web of success and the camera will be the spider that takes you into the stomach and produces you into their energy and centre you as a star!" She smiles widely as the students uncomfortably look at each other. This is what I meant by crazy, she has a very distinct train of thought, that no one really gets.
Great Qualities for a Guidance Counsellor!
"This year the action club and the film club will collaborate to give the stars their shine and the directors their success! We've already paired you into groups. Please wait for your name to be called. Once you have met your partner you may pick up the forms for the film fest and get started! Remember the Film Festival is by the end of the year, so you have plenty of time to come up with a concept, time to film and edit.
Remember. Your movie has to be a minimum of one hour! Enjoy and be creative. And we will have meetings every Wednesday, and Friday at lunch!" The teacher who I assume runs the drama club ends and starts reading names off of a list in pairs.
"Fly my beautiful watermelon coloured butterflies! Reach the moon my beautiful shimmering pieces of molten waste! Go as far as the ocean takes you my little pieces of unrecycled plastic!"  Ms Wendack says to each group.
"Dan Lestoner and Tia Galoua"
A beautiful tanned girl walks to the front of the classroom.
"Score!" Whispers Dan, as he walks up to meet his partner.
"Here we have... Drake Phillips and .. Beth Tailor!" I walk up to the front of the classroom and smile at Ms. Wendack. Then a girl walks up, and at first she strikes me as pretty, no beautiful. To the boys like Dan they might over look her because her breasts or butt aren't the size of basketballs... But to me, she was so amazingly beautiful it took my breath away. She was a baby blue eyes girl who was wearing a loose sweater and some ripped jeans. On her head she wore a grey beanie, and her dirty blonde locks reached just under her shoulders. She wore some white vans that were a little worn, and a plain black bag. She was simple as she walked to the front. It all happened in slow motion. Her hair sway with each step and she blinked with beautiful lashes, her hand moved toward her pocket where she put her phone, her nails were all black, and her hands seemed.. Like they would fit perfectly into mine. I don't know what was happening, but suddenly I felt like I was naked or something. I was totally embarrassed as she came to stand beside me and smile at the teacher. I was completely frozen.
She quicked a glance my way, and
I -once again- caught a glimpse of her beautiful eyes. What should I have said? I need to say something! Um..??!?
"H-hi there, I'm your.. Uh .. Partner. Drake." I said. Stupid stupid stupid! She already knows that I'm her partner! She looked at me for a second and nodded, then without a word she took the sheets that we needed and turned around to go sit back down.
I was dumbfounded. What happened...? Did she not like me? Was I too awkward? Ugh. Fml!
I turned and went to follow her.
