        Derek isn't the most introverted person in the world, but he definitely isn't the most confident in socialization. Welp it's now or nothin he said to himself and walked up to the girl. "Hey!" Derek called
          "Huh?" The girl said confused.
          "Oh I just wanted to say nice board.."
          "Thanks" She said, looking down at it "Hey, um, why are you talking to me?"
          "Oh just thought you looked like my type of person to talk to... Which is kinda rare"
           "Oh uh.. Sorry um.. I just don't get a lot of people to talk to me"
           Derek looked down at her shirt and saw she was wearing a A Day To Remember shirt "Oh! You listen to that band!?"
            "Yeah I listen to lots of bands, like uhh.. Falling in Reverse, My Chemical Romance,  and Panic At The Disco. I was actually named after one of MCR's songs. Helena.."
            "That's cool.. I was wondering what happened?" She looked confused for a second, then remembered why she's out of school.
            "Oh.. I'd rather not talk about it. Just a short summary, I got expelled because of a fight." She swung her head to the left to hide her eye "Look, I better get going it was nice talking to you.. Maybe I'll see you later"
             "Okay that'd be cool" Derek replied. When she rolled around the corner he had a feeling like she was a musician. But he probably shouldn't push his  luck especially at this time. He was strolling down the route to his house and thought "Actually I probably shouldn't go home.. Mom's gonna be pissed.." Instead he jumps a fence that leads into the woods. He hiked up to a clearing, and laid down. Trying to relax just made him think about his problems more. He was getting frustrated. He got up and walked along the trees while trying to imagine a way to squeeze out of this problem. The cold air bristled the blades of grass below him. He looks up and out of know where, something just whacked him in the face. He starts swinging furiously with all his might and his eyes closed, by this time he's on the ground, and something creeping up! And! And! Oh.. it was just a flyer. He was so embarrassed and then he saw the flyer a talent show.. A musical talent show! In five months... Why would they send a flyer out that early? He was about to throw it out, then realized it was a musical talent show! This is his chance! He needs to find people who can play music ASAP! He waited till the school day was over and while people were dismissing he creeped up to a acquaintance who had a printer.. "Heeey, John, I need you to do me a huge favor."
              "What is it now" John answered, annoyed
              "Wellll, I kinda need to use your printer it's a project I'm working on."
              "Can't, my little brother dropped it while doing a yard sale.. He was trying to make flyers. I heard the library has one though." John was still looking directly forward.
               Off Derek was, to the library.
