Dedicated to laughterandjynx because of her book, The Last Virgin Standing. That book made me laugh and cry while reading it, something I've never done before.

Drake's P.O.V

Calculus was so boring. I'm so lucky the bell rang but I have detention, on my first day. Wow.The first bell had rang and I checked my school schedule/timetable. French.

My third favorite subject. I say this because when I was three years old, I went to France with my parents. Claire wasn't yet born so I was alone. I learnt French for awhile and I'm pretty much fluent in it, so yeah, I think I can make it through French class if the teacher is not annoying.

Anyways, I ran to my locker, swapped books and ran into French class. I had a feeling of déjà vu. Oh yeah, I remember when I first walked into Calculus class, everyone was staring at moi. The same thing in French class. Everyone was staring at moi, encore. Yeah yeah, enough of the French already. I spotted my bros Steve and Luke at the back of the class. An extra table was between them. Wicked. A young man was standing upfront of the class. He must be a student cause he wore cool clothes. A pair of orange semi-tight jeans, a green sweatshirt, green high tops with orange laces and he had blonde hair but a part of it was dyed blue. He was holding an iPhone6s and iPad mini.

I walked to the seat between Steve and Luke(all the time, the girls were staring at me) and sat down.

"Hey dude, what's up?" Luke asked me

"Just taking life slow." I answered casually. "The guy there," I pointed to the front of the class. "Is he a student?"

Steve stared at me. "No bro, he's our Art teacher but the French teacher didn't come and he hates substitutes so he left our exercise with the Art teacher to give to us." He explained.

"No wonder he's an Art teacher." I said. "He's cool."

Luke leaned in and whispered. "And he's only twenty-two."

I was shocked. "No way."

Like put his hand on my shoulder. "Yes way"

Mr.Cool Teacher turned and clapped. The room became silent. "Alright people, I'm handing out worksheets that your French teacher gave me. Do it silently and when you're done, hand it over to me."

He started sharing the worksheets. " And today, I will like to be known as Dr.Barris Andes, instead of Sir.Leonardo."

"Dr.Bar what?" Someone shouted

Dr.Barris Andes smiled. " I said Dr.Barris Andes. Now get to work people. Let's get this show on the road."

Everyone flipped their worksheets open and started working.

I leaned over to the girl in front of me. "Do you have a spare pencil?" I asked

She squealed. "Yes! Take this and keep it." She put a blue Nataraj neon pencil in front of me and smiled.

"Thanks, girl." I replied

"It's Bethany." She corrected.

"Right, I'll keep that in mind." I promised and turned my attention toward the worksheet in front of me.

The problem was, I didn't know the meaning of solidarity and ponder so I just wrote 'Solidarity is a word.' and 'I always ponder.' in French.

But apart from that, the work was so easy and I finished before everyone else. I walked up and gave my worksheet to Dr.Barris Andes.

"Um...Kid what's your name?" Dr.Andes asked me as I gave him my work.

"Drake" I said.

"Drake,you're new here so do you want to introduce yourself to the class?" Dr.Andes asked again.

"No dude, I'm not a fan of the whole, my name is Drake, I come from whatever and my previous school was blah-blah-blah thingy so no, I'll pass." I told him.

He laughed."You're a funny guy, you know. Oh and by the way, I have the same shirt you're wearing."

I looked down at my blue 5 Seconds Of Summer top. "You listen to 5SOS?"

He looked at me funnily "Like, hell yeah!"

"Wow" I said.

He chuckled "And also One Direction, The Vamps, Maroon 5, Green Day, The Heartbreakers, Justin Beiber, Chris Brown, Usher, Taylor Swift, Meghan Trainor, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, Sam Smith, Sia and whatever teenagers listen to."

I whistled."Cool"

"You can sit down." He told me

"Thanks Dr.Barris Andes."

He smirked"Anytime"

I walked to my seat and sat down. Luke leaned in and Steve whispered. "Dude, how is it possible that you of all people has finished already? This kinda work takes me eight years to finish."

I chuckled. "What are you guys doing after school today?"

Luke grinned."Nothing like an hour of detention with the guys."

"Me too." I said

Steve looked proud."First day of school and you have detention? Not bad bro, not bad."

I bowed my head."Thank you master. Now lemme help you with the French exercise guys."

They both took their pencils and I whispered the answers to them.
