Drake pulled up a new web browser on his laptop and googled 'High Schools in my area' with location services on. Grayson was in the living room sitting on the right of Drake with Armen on the left behind the couch.
"Make sure they have a basketball team." Grayson said. Drake nodded and pulled up high school basketball teams in the area.
"Make sure it's a cheap school we can afford." Armen suggested. Drake checked all the prices.
"And definitely make sure it's a school Brine wouldn't be interested in." Armen and Grayson said in sync.
"Guys I think I know what I'm doing." Drake reassured. He typed in all the suggestions into google and pressed enter.
"How about Friar?" Drake asked.
"Nah. They have a 2 star rating on their basketball." Grayson said as he grabbed the laptop. "Maybe Parker?"
"Nah. It's too expensive." Armen said. Drake grabbed the laptop back.
"How about Arctic?" Drake asked. Grayson and Armen looked interested.
"Arctic looks good...." Grayson trailed off.
"This thing is cheap as hell!" Armen exclaimed, exited.
"4.3 STAR BASKETBALL TEAM?!" Grayson yelled happily. Drake nodded happily.
"LETS DO IT!!" Armen exclaimed, and all the boys laughed.

The next day they were all already applied and ready to go. Just one problem...
"BASKETBALL TRYOUTS ARE TODAY?!" Grayson yelled as the boys walked in.
"I guess so......" Drake replied as he looked at the poster.
"Screw it I'm still trying out." Grayson said as he folded his arms across his chest.
"You would give anything to be on a basketball team, wouldn't you Grayson?" Armen inquired.
"You haven't even known me for longer than 4 days and you already basically know me by heart." Grayson smiled. Armen laughed at that.
"So what's your guys first period?" Drake asked.
"Well I'm-" Grayson look another glance at his schedule. "IM HELD BACK?!" Drake looked over onto Graysons schedule and saw, 'Freshman Schedule' printed on the top in red ink. Just like his.
"Well me and Grayson have all the same classes." Armen said as he looked over onto both of the schedules.
"Man.... I've got Graphic Design instead of Spanish...." Drake trailed off.
"Awh, so you're not in our 5th period?" Armen asked. Drake shook his head no.
"Well, at least we have the other 7 periods together!" Armen yelled optimistically. Drake smiled.
"Yea!!" Drake exclaimed.
Little did he know, 5th period was gonna be a hell.

"I'll see you at history!" Armen said as the bell rung signifying 5th period was beginning. Drake ran to Graphic Design and got in line smiling, having the best day of his life.
Or so he thought.
They walked into class and hovered at the back of the class, getting a new seating chart. Multiple names that Drake didn't know were called. He hoped he would get to know them soon.
"Drake J?" The teacher asked. Drake nodded as the teacher pointed to a seat in the back.
Man..... My eyes already suck as they are.... Now I have to sit in the back? Drake thought as he pushed up the bridge of his glasses. He sat down in the seat.
More named were called and the class started.
"Okay class, my name is Mr. Dre. In this class we will be learning abo-"
"Sorry I'm late." A familiar voice said as the door burst open.
"And you are?" Mr. Dre questioned.
"Brine. Brine H." Drake stiffened up.
Oh god no......
"You're five minuets late Brine. You'll have to take the seat behind Drake."
Drake dreaded those words.
Brine sat behind Drake and opened up a notebook. Staring daggers into the back of Drakes head.
"Hey Drakie boy...." Brine whispered as Mr. Dre started to teach again. "How's your little boyfriend?"
"Shut up Brine...." Drake trailed off as he started to take notes.
"Why? I'm not doing nothin wrong...."
"I said shut up.... You got us all expelled from our last school so I would like to make it different here." Drake whispered back.
"I only got us expelled because you were a little baby."
"I wasn't a baby."
"Is there a problem boys?" Mr. Dre asked as he looked at us.
"No problem at all Mr. Dre. No problem at all." Brine smiled, sounding more innocent than ever.
"Alright. Pay attention." Mr. Dre said as he continued to write notes on the whiteboard.
"Nice glasses." Brine whispered as he grabbed Drakes glasses of his head.
"Hey!!" Drake whisper yelled back.
"Damn kid, your blind." Brine whispered as he put them on.
"Give me back my glasses!"
"What's your vision?"
"15 15. Now give me them back!"
"Daaaaaammmmmn..... And what's up with your hands?" Brine whispered as he took off the glasses and held onto them.
"Birth defect...." Drake looked down at his black hands, ashamed.
"Damn. Your a blind, black handed freak." Brine whispered into Drakes ear.
"No I'm not....." Drake whispered, tears filling his eyes, "leave me alone.... And give me my glasses...."
"I think you can last without them." Brine sneered.
"I'm not gonna be able to see without them so give them back!" Drake whisper screamed as a tear ran down his cheek.
"Fine you big baby." Brine tossed the glasses onto drakes desk and a crack was heard.
"You broke them!!" Drake whisper yelled as he carefully picked them up and saw the cracked lens. "These things are expensive!!"
"Sucks for you then. It's not my fault you're blind."
It really isn't.... It isn't his fault at all...... Drake thought. It's my fault I'm pretty much blind.... I'm just a screw up....

"Hey Drake!!" Armen yelled as Drake walked out of Graphic Design looking down. "Hey are you alright?" Armen asked lifting Drakes head up.
"Y-yea..... I'm fine...." Drake replied.
"What happened to your glasses?!" Armen gasped, "Do you know how expensive those things are?!"
"I-I dropped them..." Drake lied. "I'll try to get a job or someway to pay for them......"
"I'm paying for half of it. Alright?" Armen insisted. Drake slowly nodded and they started to walk towards their lockers. Drake glanced back and saw Brine leave the classroom, not noticed by Armen. Drake looked back forward and down.
"Okay Drake what's wrong? If your bummed about your glasses it's fine. We'll get new ones." Armen said patting Drakes back and smiling. Drake put on a smile and looked up at Armen.
"Thanks..."
"Hey man, no problem! Remember the pact?" Armen smiled.
"Brothers forever-"
"Always together."
The boys walked to their next class as the laughed.
Even though Drakes was fake.
