Life Is Iife

7 is the magic number

After 2 years of pretending to be cool along with Daniel,Drake started to develop his thinking.Drake maybe had changed a lot before the 7th grade,but in the 7th grade he changed the most.

It was the first day of school.Drake's parents started to be very severe about everything.They told Drake that he won't even see his computer until he finishes secondary school.Of course Drake was upset because of this but he couldn't do shit.Whenever he was talking about his parents,he was surrounded only by negative feelings.His friends understood that ever since a random gipsy on the street bullied him and mentioned about his mom.A few moments later the gipsy was screaming and running away from that creepy kid.Although Daniel and the others thought that it was cool,they got a little scared so nobody had ever mentioned that day.

Drake's parents had started to lose some faith in him before he done the first theft.The moment when the form teacher talked with Drake's parents about his grades and his behavior around other students was the moment that the bond between them broke down.

Drake started to feel pretty lost in the 7th grade.His parents wouldn't understand him anymore,he didn't have any more colleagues to count on,and he started to reject any offers from Daniel and the others from the crew.

"Hey,Drake,so...do you wanna...I don't know...steal some shit again or something?..."

"No,man,thanks but I think I'll stop doing this...I mean its dangerous and if I get caught it won't be very well for me..."

"Come on,Drake,we're the cool guys,who the fuck would catch..."

"YOU are the cool guys...the 4 of you...who the fuck am I after all...I mean why did you even let me enter this group of yours...?I am not cool,and I cannot be in this group.PERIOD."

"Woah,dude,you are thinking way too much...chill...whatever, do what you want."

Overall,the 7th grade started very bad for Drake,and this affected him very much.This was one of the things that made him change.
After that conversation,Daniel didn't talk with Drake anymore.The form teacher separated the two "friends" by putting Drake in the left corner in the front of the classroom and Daniel in the right corner deeper in the classroom.

For no reason,at least Drake didn't know any,Daniel continued to stay with Drake every class except the math class,so the form teacher couldn't notice.Anyway no student had had the guts to tell the teacher what was really going on,before they all found out that Daniel wasn't such a good friend with Drake anymore.Everyone knowing about the missunderstanding between Daniel and Drake,started to blame Frame for all the mistakes that Daniel made.

Dani really started thinking about what will he do with his life.

"What's the point in staying with Daniel...he's a cool guy but he breaks too many rules and he's not going towards better,plus those stupid colleagues have such a simplistic way of thinking...It won't be that hard to manipulate them and yet,Daniel is already doing this although he is stupid in reality.They must only be intimidated by Daniel,and Daniel must have established respect through fear,not through respect...How can people be so naiive..."

Drake had started to put so many questions.Day after day,Drake was learning about his classmates,and about Daniel,and Daniel simply seemed to have no fear.It was impossible for him not to have fear of something because,after all,every person has it's own fears,even if it doesn't matter what they're scared of,how they manifest their fear or how deep the fear was.They just...have it.Drake tried to find Daniels fears or certain disadvantages that he had,but he didn't find anything.

Drake just gave up trying to study Daniel and started to think more about himself and what is around him.He started to have many revelations about life,and there were moments when he was simply filled up with positive thoughts.Very positive thoughts about the future and about what he is going to learn and live.Unfortunately,Daniel wasn't thinking that way,and seeing that Drake was starting to get away from the group,he started bullying him,only sometimes tough.They continued to sit at the same desk,even though they weren't understanding eachother.They didn't even need to do so.Drake still needed Daniel's friends and girls so that he could socialize more and more and to learn easier without thinking of the social life too much,and Daniel needed Drake to help him pass the classes with better grades,so he would continue to have a very good social life without bothering about school,and learning.Basically,Drake needed Daniel's friends and bonds and Daniel needed Drake's intelligence and homeworks.Their friendship turned into something very boring,and something defenetly unpleasant.
