Part Nine: Geoff's POV

It's time to party!!! Back to school with my best bud, Brody, and my girlfriend, Bridgette. Senior year is going to be awesome! I'm hanging out in the courtyard with Brody and everyone else is going into the school.
"Oh man! I totally spaced dude!" I facepalm and then run into the school. First period I have art. Sweet! A chill-time class. I walk in to the room right before the tardy bell rings. 
     "Hey dudes!  What's going on?" I say as I find a seat.  I see my boy Trent, so I go sit by him.  Gwen's in here too!  She may be all 'gothy' and stuff, but she's really cool if you get to meet her.  I've gotta invite her to the senior year party I'm having. 
     "You must be Geoff..." says a tall chick in a blouse and skirt.  She's pretty hot. 
     "That's me!  Psyched to be here, man," I reply. 
     "I'm your homeroom and art teacher for this year.  My name's Mrs. White; nice to meet you," she says, offering a hand which I shake.  She's gonna be an awesome teacher.  Mrs. White tells me about some self art project thing.  I'm thinking about sketching a sunset beach with me and Bridgette sitting in the sand.  Maybe add a little watercolor.  It'll be wicked!
     "I didn't know you took art," says Gwen as she walks over. 
     "Yeah man!  One of my sketches is hanging up in the hallway from freshmen year."
     "You drew that?  Nice."
     "It's supposed to be Bridge..."
     "I knew I recognized it!  Good portrait skills!"  I look over at Trent and he seems a little jealous.  Oh man, I've gotta help a brother out!
     "You know who's an even better artist?  Trent here.  He has this awesome painting of a chick sitting under a tree!"  I say, nudging Trent. 
     "Oh yeah.  It's hung up next to Geoff's..." Trent adds, scratching his head. 
     "I saw that," answers Gwen, faintly blushing.  "It's really good..."
     "Thanks, Gwen..." 
     "You're welcome..."
     They're both a blushing mess.  I thought Gwen was with Duncan?  Maybe she still likes Trent?  Oh yeah.  She definitely likes him.  You can see it all over their faces.  Wicked!
     "Well I should probably get back to work..." Gwen says as she walks away. 
     "Yeah, me too..." Trent adds before turning to me completely red in the face. 
     "Dude!" I exclaim, giving him a high five.  "She totally digs ya, man!"
     "I don't know.  Maybe...  She did break it off with Duncan..." says Trent uncertainly.  Gwen dumped Duncan?!  Woah. 
     "This is your big chance!  Dude, go for it!"
     "Well, we'll see what happens..."  Trent goes back to his project and I decide to sketch out mine.  I'm probably gonna have to borrow some watercolor paint and a canvas later...
