Dirk's POV:

the next Morning

I begin to rethink about my situation with Jake.. I didn't know Jake and Jane were together... but why did Jake kissed me back? does this mean he loves me? well i don't really know...

~at school~

so I went to the principal office..."i'll do it!" i said while looking at principal condesce.
she looked back at me and smirk while sitting on her chair comfortably and replied. " well...you have three weeks and you still have to go to school and take finals...-oh! you knew that already....take some requirements of your teachers, if you miss one..no diploma!!!"
"okay.." i smiled as i replied to her and left her office to get my teachers requirements(assignments)...

~~after 1 hour later ~~

[@ Art class..]

I went to My art teacher Mr. Vantas and asked  him what would  be my assignment.

" Good morning Mr. Vantas.. I would like to ask what assignment would you give for me .." I asked.

he looked at me like he was reading my mind, to be exact, he was reading my emotions then he suddenly spoke.

" I simply don't believe a dull life of assignments are the measurement of a person's Soul " he said as he looked at me..

" I want One.. One Meaningful  work from you.. I want you to look on a mirror.. listen to your gut.. and make an image... that speaks to the real you... what you   care about ... what you believe...it can be Big ... it can be small.. it can be painted in pad sheet..as long as it is Honest and fearless..."

" Mr. Vantas you have no Idea..how much this help-" then Mr. Vantas quickly cut me off...

" But!... But!...if you'll come here and if I smell a runt.. if you didn't find something you'd never had the courage ..to say before .. i don't pass you.. you don't get out of here.. on your work.., down your trail.."

Then I nodded

"then go! ... get out of here.." Mr. Vantas comanded

then I left the room wondering about what should i paint..so while I was heading home  Jake suddenly approached me..

"How are you chap? " he asked... and I just Ignored him.. "How are  things with your Bro?" He asked me again.. "Look what is still wrong of me seeing Janey?"

"you told me i was going to leave her alone.." I spat

"but you told her that we weren't together.." Jake quickly respond

" What should have I said" I replied..

" what  do you wanted to say? " he asked..

" There you go again with the mind games.. Torturous little hussy " I said as I rolled my eyes..

" Dirk! There's Nothing between Us! " he spat..

I froze as i look at Jake eyes widden feeling Hurt on What he just said..

" look I'm sorry" he said as he looked back at me..

" No! You're right " I shrugged while looking at him seriously..
"I gotta go ... I-I have to make up.. use my homework or I don't graduate.."

" what..? " he respond confusedly..

"Have fun with Jane! " then i quickly left..
