Aha! I got it! I GOT IT!! I can now participate.
Aloni got up and went to the next class. Science. She hated science. She walked in and sat down.
"Hello, hello, hello everybody!" the big, jolly science teacher greeted everyone coming in through the door. "We will be sitting in alphabetical order today."
Aloni sat down in N for Newman. She started tapping her toes. This was already boring. Jade came in and sat in her seat. A little bit far away from her.
Drake came in with Joey. He was so happy that he had his main classes with him. The science teacher told Joey where his seat was then got to Drake. He told him where he sat. M for Mellingson. Which was right next to the letter N… where she was. He had to sit next to her again. AGAIN! Oh well, Drake went over and sat next to her. He didn't say anything at first, but then everyone was quiet, and the silence was killing him.
"Hello again." he said. He waited for her to respond.
"Oh," She looked up. "Hi."
"Well how about that, we sit next to each other in both first and second class." Drake smiled.
"Yes." Aloni said. "What do you have next?"
"Uh... I have English next. You?"
"Yup. That's odd." Aloni said. She thought. "What else do you have?"
"Um, I have math next, then lunch, then theater, then... Spanish."
"Wow...I don't have Spanish or drama, but I have every other class. That's weird."
"That is weird..." really weird. and most likely every teacher will sit them in order so he'll most likely be seeing her all day everyday.
"So-" The bell rang and the teacher started talking.
The teacher droned on for the entire period.
RING! Went the bell.
Drake popped up again to walk out the door with Joey. Aloni and Jade walked together to their next class.
"I don't know why, but he's just so..." Aloni started. Thinking about Drake.
Jade laughed, "You like him, huh?"
"I am going to be seeing her all day today." Drake announced to Joey.
"Why?"
"She's in almost all of my classes."
"No, well, he's hot, but there’s a million other boys in this school that's hot, ok?" Aloni defended herself.
"Sure..."
"It's true!"
"Ooooohhh, so you get to be with HER the entire day then huh? The shy little girl." Joey nudged Drake.
"Huh? What? Oh! No, are you kidding me? I don't like her. She IS a spoiled brat, just wait till you get talking with her… man." Drake tried to make it look like he had no interest in her at all.
"All right, what ever..." Joey started walking ahead of him. Drake sped up with Joey.
"Do you honestly think that I would like a girl like that?"
"Hey, I was just checking ‘cause you never know..." Joey shrugged.
"Yeah, well I don't ok? Get that through you're small brain."
"Ok."
"Well, I don't really mind if you like him." Jade said, "I mean, we're just friends now, so it doesn't matter if you do."
"Nah, he's like every other boy that isn't interested in my life."
"Oh, ok then."
"Hey there she is!" Joey said excitedly. He pointed to Jade "I dare you to go talk to her." he said to Drake.
"Ok," Drake shrugged "No prob." Drake started walking over to Aloni and Jade.
Aloni took her eyes off Jade and saw Drake come up. What does he want? Oh crap, What does he want? Why is he coming over here? Snap, what does he want from me? "Hello ladies." Drake started walking side by side with the two girls.
"Oh, hey Drake." Jade said casually.
"So Jade, I didn't know you were here." Drake started to make conversation. He looked back and saw Joey's jaw hanging wide open.
"You didn't? Well, sorry, I go to this school. How bout you?" She asked sarcastically.
"Gee, gosh why did you have to come to this same school!" Drake teased.
"Yeah yeah, I suppose you've met Aloni?" Jade asked gesturing to Aloni. She half smiled.
"Oh yeah, I believe we have several classes together." Drake smiled at Aloni. Then he turned back to Jade "Do you have the same classes as well?"
"Only a few." She said. "I'm taking French with Aloni though."
"What is it with you girls and taking French?"
"I wanted to take German." Aloni said.
"Yeah, well, I didn't want her to be alone, so we both agreed on French." Jade said.
"I see. So you're planning on going to France together or something?" Drake smiled.
"Sure, if we wanted to." Aloni said.
"Yeah, like, during the summer, or spring break or something…" Jade butted in with her fantasies.
"You're parents will actually let you go to Europe?" Drake didn't believe that Jade could go, knowing her family with her strict father.
"Well, I bet I could go if I did whatever they wanted me to." Jade said.
"Mine would." Aloni said. Not trying to brag at all. She hated doing that. She actually just talked in a small voice.
"What would you have to do to be able to go?" Drake asked Jade. Gee, Aloni kind of bragged about that last part back there.
"I don't know. Why is it so important to you?" Jade snapped at him.
Aloni looked down. She just wanted to leave. He wasn't talking to her, only to Jade, so she just walked off.
Jade looked around. "Aloni?"
"Well sorry for asking. I was just suppose to come and talk with you, ok?" he started walking back over to Joey. That's exactly why they didn’t get along quite well as kids. Every time he said the wrong thing, she just snapped back at him or if he's just trying to sound interested and asking lots of questions SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! Models are so bratty.
"I am so surprised that you actually just went up to her like that." Joey's mouth was still hanging.
"Yeah well, I'm just cool like that."
Jade ran after Aloni. "What?" She asked.
"Oh, I got bored with the conversation and decided to go to class like I should." Aloni explained.
"Oh sorry. Drake is a little boring when he TRIES To make conversation."
They went into the classroom. Drake just already assumed that he sat next to Aloni, so he went over and sat down.
Aloni didn't look up this time. Psh. Jerk. She just looked at either the bored, or her things.
Drake looked over once at Aloni and never looked back at her for the remainder of class.
The bell rang and she just jumped up from her seat and left the room. Lunch.
Drake got up and left the room along with all the other students. Everyone headed out to the food court.
Aloni found Jade and other models and they sat down to eat. Yasmine and Jackie joined them and such.
"So Aloni, how are you liking it here?" Jackie asked.
"Oh, you know. Cute guys, Rude Guys, and Nice guys. Then there's the classes, those are fine. And yeah… It's all fine."
"Cute guys? OOOO! Tell me who!" Yasmine was always very interested when it came to guys.
"I don't know. Lots. They're everywhere. I barley know any of their names." Aloni said. Then a guy came up to Aloni when she dumped her tray.
"Hey, uh, Aloni right?"
"Yes… You are?"
"Kyle."
"Oh, cool"
"Do you wanna go out some time? Like I don't know, A movie on Saturday or something."
Aloni smiled. He was cute. "Sure."
Yasmine was grinning when Aloni came back to the table.
"So who's the guy?"
"His name is Kyle. He asked me out for this Saturday! I SAID YES!" Aloni squealed.
"OMG!" Jade squealed too.
"Good job Aloni." Jackie said happily.
"YAY! Omg what are you going to wear? Don't worry, I'll take good care of you. I'll make sure that you'll have the right outfit on and the right make up and I'll teach you the right thing to say and... OH THIS WILL BE SO FUN!" Yasmine squealed.
"Yeah! But I can choose my own stuff Yasmine. I mean, I don't want to look to fancy, he's probably not rich. You know me, I hate to boast and be showy unless I'm modeling."
"I hear ya." Jade said.
"But don't you WANT to look rich? I mean most of the guys go after the rich girls, don't you want a lot of guys jealous of this Kyle ‘cause he's going out with a rich girl?"
"No." Aloni said automatically. "Not really." She said seriously.
"Geez what kind of life do you want anyway?" Yasmine got up to put her tray away. When she returned, she saw someone pass by their table. She glared. How did he get here!? The one guy who ruined her life, the one she truly loved but turned her down, who broke her heart, threw her away like yesterday's oatmeal: Drake Mellingson.
"What. Is. He. Doing. Here.?" Yasmine tried to stay calm.
"Uh..." Becca started.
"I don't know." Jade said quickly.
"Haha, I'm done, bye!" Aloni jumped up.
"Me too." Lexi said.
Other models followed and left.
Yasmine was left there alone at the table with Jackie. Glaring, breathing very slowly. She looked like a tiger on the loose, ready to pounce.
Drake was laughing and making jokes with his new friends. First day of school, not that bad. He might actually somewhat like it here better than public schools. Joey kept making "that’s what she said" jokes and Colby kept asking out girls and getting turned down every single time.
"Well if you think you're so good, why don't you ask out a girl?" said Colby. Upset that he was turned down for the sixth time.
"Alright then maybe I will." Drake said. He looked around. Hmmm, who should he ask? Who was he interested in asking? He could go for that one McKenna, but then again, she looked too snobby. Hmmm there is Brittany... she's kind of cute. Or there's Mckennzie... or maybe even Lindy... He's going to go for Mckennzie.
"All right boys, watch and learn." Drake went over to Mckennzie and all of her friends.
"Hey." he said.
"Oh, hi Drake." she said in a flirty kind of way.
"Hey I was wondering... if you wanted to go out with me." Drake said it plain and clear, and straight to the point. He never had any trouble asking out girls.
"Oh. Me?" she looked flattered and looked over at all her girlfriends who were encouraging her. "Sure." she answered.
"Alright." Drake smiled.
"Show off." Colby muttered when he found out she said yes.
"Yasmine, would you like to leave?" Jackie asked standing up. "I can definitely leave if you'd like." She said.
"Actually JACK-O-LYN, that's not a bad idea. Leave me be, and I'll take care of my own problems." she didn't take her eyes off of Drake. She had a plan. She was going to get him alone. Soon. And she was going to let him know all about it. In a very unforgivable way.
Jackie nodded and followed the rest of the girls to their dorms and places.
Aloni bit her lip. worried about what Yasmine could do. But then again. That jerk deserves it.
Yasmine stood up and started walking over to Drake. She walked her sexy catwalk in her short mini skirt and high heels. Boys jaws dropped as she passed them. The predator got closer and closer to her prey. Drake turned around and she was there. He jumped
"Yasmine? What are you doing here?" he laughed nervously.
"We need to talk now." she demanded
"Why?"
"That will be explained later."
"So why don't you say what ever needs to be said in front of me and my guys?" Drake folded his arms
"Because I really don't think you want your friends to be punished for your doings." she gave him the evil eye. Drake started to back down.
"Ok, so where did you want to talk then?"
"Follow me. NOW."
"Psh, fine." Rolled his eyes not at all scared. Yasmine led him outside to an are where not a lot of people were. She turned to face him.
"Ok, you have no idea what I have been through these past years have you?" she said.
"No." Drake looked bored
"Well you're about to find out, all year long you're going to wish that you have never been born."
"Oh I'm so scared." Drake said.
A guy was walking by with a melting Snickers bar. Yasmine took it out of his hands and smooshed it all over Drake's face. Then she slapped him on the face and pushed him over onto the ground and stepped on him with her high heels. "Like I said," she said, her heel still digging into his side. "You're going to pay for it, long and slowly." she picked up her foot and waited for him to get back up. He started to wipe the chocolate out of his eyes when she kicked him in the groin. She turned and walked a few steps while Drake rolled over in pain on the ground. She turned back and said with an evil grin, "You have a nice day. I can't wait for all the fun this year." Then she walked away.
Drake sat on the ground holding himself.
"Owww."
Aloni, Jade and everyone else were sitting around and being lazy when Yasmine came in just as the bell rang for class. She had a nice face on and looked perfectly fine. Aloni smiled at her and grabbed her stuff. She walked to class and sat down. Alphabetically.
Drake slowly stood up, still in pain. By then his friends came out to see what happened to him.
"Whoa, Drake, What happened?" Joey wasn't expecting to find a drake in pain covered in melted chocolate.
"I uh... tripped." Drake made up a quick story. He didn't want news to spread that he got beat up by a girl on the first day of school. Nuh-uh, not going to happen.
"You tripped? In dog droppings?"
"Uh, she kinda told me off and stomped off and I turned the other way and a kid was right behind me with a candy bar. I kinda tripped over him and landed on something... but I'm fine now. You got a napkin or something?" Drake acted out along with his story. He was so lucky there weren't many witnesses.
"Oh. Yeah, you’d want to clean that off." they went into the boy’s bathroom. Drake cleaned off all of the chocolate from his face.
"Alright, how do I look?" Drake asked
"Clean. Now let’s get to class."
Joey and Drake made it into their seats right as the bell rang. Phew, that was close.
Aloni didn't look anywhere except for the Drama teacher. She was explaining movements and audience etiquette.
The teacher liked to walk around the classroom a lot and move in any way possible. She kept explaining things with body movements and examples. She must be obviously a visual learner. Then she came to acting out certain things. Like love scenes, and fight scenes.
"Ok, I need two volunteers. Now, let's see here..." the teacher kept walking around the room. She passed by Drake and Aloni "You two could do the job." she smiled at them. Uh oh, what will she have him do? Especially with her...
"I want you two to please come up to the front for me please." the teacher instructed.
Aloni got hesitant. But she didn't want to back away. So she just got up and walked to the front of the classroom, prepared to do whatever the teacher wanted them too.
"What's your names?" She asked.
"Aloni." Aloni told her.
"Drake." he said.
"Alright, Drake and Aloni." the teacher put her hands on their shoulders. Joey was snickering in the audience. "Now, we're going to pretend that there's a... oh let's say a wedding, going on for you two."
The class started laughing
"Now, now, it's just acting remember. You're going to have to do this at least once in your lifetime if you're planning on doing some acting." the teacher reminded the class. "Ok, so... um, let's have another be a volunteer... uh, can you come up and be the Reverend?" the teacher pointed to a random student.
Wow, this is kind of awkward for Drake...
Aloni shifted her weight. This isn't gonna be so comfortable, but like the teacher said, it's acting. Like it would affect Drake and her. Psh. Ok, get your head out of the clouds. This is going to be weird, yes. But hey, it's acting, and then they won't have to look at each other again today. Ok, ok. Aloni tried to get into character. She looked down at the floor.
"Okay," the teacher instructed, "You will make this up as you go, do what ever you want ok? This is called improv. Now, action!" she sat back, waiting to see what they came up with.
Aloni just sat there for a second. She nudged the "Father".
"Oh, Uh... Marriage! Marriage is what brings us togever... today." the guy playing the father mimicked the priest from the Princess Bride. Everyone chuckled.
Aloni rolled her eyes. She looked straight at Drake. Tensing up, she didn't know what to do now.
Um... let's see here, what to say...?
"Could we please skip to the ending!?" Drake said in a British accent.
Aloni smiled, "No, it's ok." she said with an accent too. "My Wesley won't want you to hurry up."
Drake turned to Aloni totally into his character now "I'm sorry, but your Wesley is dead. I killed him myself this morning. And there is nothing you can do about but marry ME." he turned back to the father "Skip to the ending I said!"
"What?" She had a totally fake but good enough awed face. "I don't believe you. Wesley is Alive!"
"No, he is not! He is not alive nor is he returning for you. Now stop babbling and let's get this over with!"
"You underestimate Him." Aloni said harshly. That's when she noticed Kyle was in this class. He waved and smiled. She smiled back.
Drake noticed Aloni smile to a guy in the class. He looked back to who she smiled at, which was a mistake. He ruined the act, oh well, better go along with it.
"How dare you! You dare to love Wesley- who is still dead- and you are getting married to me, but are flirting with one of the knights!? How many men are you cheating with anyway!?" Drake said it in a funny way. Everyone started laughing and Kyle went red.
"Excuse me?" She said un-British like. Still acting though. "You’re forcing me to marry, Wesley is apparently DEAD, and I like knights in shining armor!"
Drake pretended to stutter "B- bu-but but I- I thought I was you're knight in shining armor!! You're getting wed to me and no one else! You're Wesley we no longer need to discuss, because we now both agree he IS dead. And Stop looking at that guy from the village!!" he turned to the father "Say man and wife!!! Man and wife!!" then he turned back to Aloni "So I could just hurry and kill you tonight anyway- oops... well that spoiled our happy ending..." the class was laughing so hard at Drake's acting. He and Aloni were good at this. Even the teacher was laughing.
"No!" Aloni said British like again. "I can cheat on who ever I want to. Don't say man and wife! Wait, Kill me?" Aloni pretended to have a terrified expression.
"Oh my goodness. You are very good at this!! Ok, ok, lets wrap it up." The teacher said, "I like the twist on the Princess Bride there, well done."
Drake sighed, they were done. Yes!
"Alright, you may take a seat, good job." the teacher clapped and the rest of the class followed. "Now you see how they did that? They made a very serious situation very funny and kind of did a spoof on a movie." the teacher tried to hold back her laughter, then she went on and on again about acting.
Aloni sat down and, with great relief, made it through the rest of the class. Too bad Jade wasn't here. She'd be laughing hard. She turned around to look at Kyle. She smiled. He smiled back and gave her a thumb's up.
RING! The bell rang.
Everyone scattered across the classroom and out the door. Drake got up real fast and caught up to Aloni.
"Hey," he said "Sorry to embarrass you about the guy during the acting thing... I just played along with it." he apologized.
"Oh," Aloni looked at him. "That's fine. I thought it was creative." She said. Then Kyle caught up with them.
"Hey, You guys were great!" He said.
"Thanks." She said.
"Thanks." Drake nodded. A spike of hate flew through Drake when he saw Kyle. He didn't know why, what was there to hate about him? He just didn't like seeing him with... her. Why did he care? He has his own girl friend now. And he doesn't like Aloni anyway so why should it matter. Joey was calling for him. "Well, see ya." Drake walked off to meet up with his gang.
Aloni smiled and hugged Kyle. Wow, her first boyfriend here. That's amazing to have on her first day. He chuckled.
"No really, he's hilarious." Kyle told her.
"Isn't he? Too bad he's a jerk in real life." Aloni said looking straight ahead.
"Huh? Why?"
"Well, he'd talk only to my friend, not to me, and well, I guess...I don't really know."
"You should find out more about him before you judge him."
Aloni didn’t say anything.
"So what makes him such a big jerk…?" Kyle asked.
"Well...like I said...I guess I don't really know. Except that he and his friend keeps looking at Jade and I and talk about us most likely. Sides, everyone except you and my friends think at first sight that I'm a rich snob."
"How do you know what everyone else is thinking?"
"Well, people have actually talked to me about it. They're like, "Oh, I thought you would’ve been a snobby brat, but I guess your not."
"I don't think you're like that..."
"I know you don't." She smiled.
"SO how do you know that this guy thinks you're spoiled brat? I think he's a pretty funny."
"We met first period. And I think he is, just to me, he seems different than to everyone else. I don't know. But, what are you doing today after school?"
"Oh, I'm gonna finish unpacking and getting settled into my dorm. But I could do something else with you if you want."
"No it's ok, I should do that too." Aloni said.
Kyle smiled "Ok. I gotta go to my next class, I'll see you later." he gave her a hug and went his own way.
"Ok bye." She went her own way too. What class was it? French? No, wait, yeah? She couldn't remember.
Drake went to his Spanish class. The teacher was very spunky. What was she smoking? Drake didn't want to find out...
The class ended. Everyone was free to go to their dorms and/or get a snack from the food court.
"Hello, hello, hello everybody!" the big, jolly science teacher greeted everyone coming in through the door. "We will be sitting in alphabetical order today."
Aloni sat down in N for Newman. She started tapping her toes. This was already boring. Jade came in and sat in her seat. A little bit far away from her.
Drake came in with Joey. He was so happy that he had his main classes with him. The science teacher told Joey where his seat was then got to Drake. He told him where he sat. M for Mellingson.

He didn't say anything at first, but then everyone was quiet, and the silence was killing him.
"Hello again." he said. He waited for her to respond.
"Oh," She looked up. "Hi."
"Well how about that, we sit next to each other in both first and second class." Drake smiled.
"Yes." Aloni said. "What do you have next?"
"Uh... I have English next. You?"
"Yup. That's odd." Aloni said. She thought. "What else do you have?"
"Um, I have math next, then lunch, then theater, then... Spanish."
"Wow...I don't have Spanish or drama, but I have every other class. That's weird."
"That is weird..." really weird. and most likely every teacher will sit them in order so he'll most likely be seeing her all day everyday.
"So-" The bell rang and the teacher started talking.
The teacher droned on for the entire period.
RING! Went the bell.
Drake popped up again to walk out the door with Joey. Aloni and Jade walked together to their next class.
"I don't know why, but he's just so..." Aloni started. Thinking about Drake.
Jade laughed, "You like him, huh?"
"I am going to be seeing her all day today." Drake announced to Joey.
"Why?"
"She's in almost all of my classes."
"No, well, he's hot, but there’s a million other boys in this school that's hot, ok?" Aloni defended herself.

"Oh, hey Drake." Jade said casually.

"Only a few." She said. "I'm taking French with Aloni though."
"What is it with you girls and taking French?"
"I wanted to take German." Aloni said.
"Yeah, well, I didn't want her to be alone, so we both agreed on French." Jade said.
"I see. So you're planning on going to France together or something?" Drake smiled.
"Sure, if we wanted to." Aloni said.
"Yeah, like, during the summer, or spring break or something…" Jade butted in with her fantasies.
"You're parents will actually let you go to Europe?" Drake didn't believe that Jade could go, knowing her family with her strict father.
"Well, I bet I could go if I did whatever they wanted me to." Jade said.
"Mine would." Aloni said. Not trying to brag at all. She hated doing that. She actually just talked in a small voice.
"What would you have to do to be able to go?" Drake asked Jade. Gee, Aloni kind of bragged about that last part back there.

Aloni looked down. She just wanted to leave. He wasn't talking to her, only to Jade, so she just walked off.
Jade looked around. "Aloni?"
"Well sorry for asking. I was just suppose to come and talk with you, ok?" he started walking back over to Joey. That's exactly why they didn’t get along quite well as kids. Every time he said the wrong thing, she just snapped back at him or if he's just trying to sound interested and asking lots of questions SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! Models are so bratty.
"I am so surprised that you actually just went up to her like that." Joey's mouth was still hanging.
"Yeah well, I'm just cool like that."
Jade ran after Aloni. "What?" She asked.
"Oh, I got bored with the conversation and decided to go to class like I should." Aloni explained.
"Oh sorry. Drake is a little boring when he TRIES To make conversation."
They went into the classroom. Drake just already assumed that he sat next to Aloni, so he went over and sat down.
Aloni didn't look up this time. Psh. Jerk. She just looked at either the bored, or her things.
Drake looked over once at Aloni and never looked back at her for the remainder of class.
The bell rang and she just jumped up from her seat and left the room. Lunch.
Drake got up and left the room along with all the other students. Everyone headed out to the food court.
Aloni found Jade and other models and they sat down to eat. Yasmine and Jackie joined them and such.
"So Aloni, how are you liking it here?" Jackie asked.
"Oh, you know. Cute guys, Rude Guys, and Nice guys. Then there's the classes, those are fine. And yeah… It's all fine."
"Cute guys? OOOO! Tell me who!" Yasmine was always very interested when it came to guys.
"I don't know. Lots. They're everywhere. I barley know any of their names." Aloni said. Then a guy came up to Aloni when she dumped her tray.
"Hey, uh, Aloni right?"
"Yes… You are?"
"Kyle."
"Oh, cool"
"Do you wanna go out some time? Like I don't know, A movie on Saturday or something."
Aloni smiled. He was cute. "Sure."
Yasmine was grinning when Aloni came back to the table.
"So who's the guy?"
"His name is Kyle. He asked me out for this Saturday! I SAID YES!" Aloni squealed.
"OMG!" Jade squealed too.
"Good job Aloni." Jackie said happily.
"YAY! Omg what are you going to wear? Don't worry, I'll take good care of you. I'll make sure that you'll have the right outfit on and the right make up and I'll teach you the right thing to say and... OH THIS WILL BE SO FUN!" Yasmine squealed.
"Yeah! But I can choose my own stuff Yasmine. I mean, I don't want to look to fancy, he's probably not rich. You know me, I hate to boast and be showy unless I'm modeling."
"I hear ya." Jade said.
"But don't you WANT to look rich? I mean most of the guys go after the rich girls, don't you want a lot of guys jealous of this Kyle ‘cause he's going out with a rich girl?"
"No." Aloni said automatically. "Not really." She said seriously.
"Geez what kind of life do you want anyway?" Yasmine got up to put her tray away. When she returned, she saw someone pass by their table. She glared. How did he get here!? The one guy who ruined her life, the one she truly loved but turned her down, who broke her heart, threw her away like yesterday's oatmeal: Drake Mellingson.
"What. Is. He. Doing. Here.?" Yasmine tried to stay calm.
"Uh..." Becca started.
"I don't know." Jade said quickly.
"Haha, I'm done, bye!" Aloni jumped up.
"Me too." Lexi said.
Other models followed and left.
Yasmine was left there alone at the table with Jackie. Glaring, breathing very slowly. She looked like a tiger on the loose, ready to pounce.
Drake was laughing and making jokes with his new friends. First day of school, not that bad. He might actually somewhat like it here better than public schools. Joey kept making "that’s what she said" jokes and Colby kept asking out girls and getting turned down every single time.
"Well if you think you're so good, why don't you ask out a girl?" said Colby. Upset that he was turned down for the sixth time.
"Alright then maybe I will." Drake said. He looked around. Hmmm, who should he ask? Who was he interested in asking? He could go for that one McKenna, but then again, she looked too snobby. Hmmm there is Brittany... she's kind of cute. Or there's Mckennzie... or maybe even Lindy... He's going to go for Mckennzie.
"All right boys, watch and learn." Drake went over to Mckennzie and all of her friends.
"Hey." he said.
"Oh, hi Drake." she said in a flirty kind of way.
"Hey I was wondering... if you wanted to go out with me." Drake said it plain and clear, and straight to the point. He never had any trouble asking out girls.
"Oh. Me?" she looked flattered and looked over at all her girlfriends who were encouraging her. "Sure." she answered.
"Alright." Drake smiled.
"Show off." Colby muttered when he found out she said yes.
"Yasmine, would you like to leave?" Jackie asked standing up. "I can definitely leave if you'd like." She said.
"Actually JACK-O-LYN, that's not a bad idea. Leave me be, and I'll take care of my own problems." she didn't take her eyes off of Drake. She had a plan. She was going to get him alone. Soon. And she was going to let him know all about it. In a very unforgivable way.
Jackie nodded and followed the rest of the girls to their dorms and places.
Aloni bit her lip. worried about what Yasmine could do. But then again. That jerk deserves it.
Yasmine stood up and started walking over to Drake. She walked her sexy catwalk in her short mini skirt and high heels. Boys jaws dropped as she passed them. The predator got closer and closer to her prey. Drake turned around and she was there. He jumped
"Yasmine? What are you doing here?" he laughed nervously.
"We need to talk now." she demanded
"Why?"
"That will be explained later."
"So why don't you say what ever needs to be said in front of me and my guys?" Drake folded his arms
"Because I really don't think you want your friends to be punished for your doings." she gave him the evil eye. Drake started to back down.
"Ok, so where did you want to talk then?"
"Follow me. NOW."
"Psh, fine." Rolled his eyes not at all scared. Yasmine led him outside to an are where not a lot of people were. She turned to face him.
"Ok, you have no idea what I have been through these past years have you?" she said.
"No." Drake looked bored
"Well you're about to find out, all year long you're going to wish that you have never been born."
"Oh I'm so scared." Drake said.
A guy was walking by with a melting Snickers bar. Yasmine took it out of his hands and smooshed it all over Drake's face. Then she slapped him on the face and pushed him over onto the ground and stepped on him with her high heels. "Like I said," she said, her heel still digging into his side. "You're going to pay for it, long and slowly." she picked up her foot and waited for him to get back up. He started to wipe the chocolate out of his eyes when she kicked him in the groin. She turned and walked a few steps while Drake rolled over in pain on the ground. She turned back and said with an evil grin, "You have a nice day. I can't wait for all the fun this year." Then she walked away.
Drake sat on the ground holding himself.
"Owww."
Aloni, Jade and everyone else were sitting around and being lazy when Yasmine came in just as the bell rang for class. She had a nice face on and looked perfectly fine. Aloni smiled at her and grabbed her stuff. She walked to class and sat down. Alphabetically.
Drake slowly stood up, still in pain. By then his friends came out to see what happened to him.
"Whoa, Drake, What happened?" Joey wasn't expecting to find a drake in pain covered in melted chocolate.
"I uh... tripped." Drake made up a quick story. He didn't want news to spread that he got beat up by a girl on the first day of school. Nuh-uh, not going to happen.
"You tripped? In dog droppings?"
"Uh, she kinda told me off and stomped off and I turned the other way and a kid was right behind me with a candy bar. I kinda tripped over him and landed on something... but I'm fine now. You got a napkin or something?" Drake acted out along with his story. He was so lucky there weren't many witnesses.
"Oh. Yeah, you’d want to clean that off." they went into the boy’s bathroom. Drake cleaned off all of the chocolate from his face.
"Alright, how do I look?" Drake asked
"Clean. Now let’s get to class."
Joey and Drake made it into their seats right as the bell rang. Phew, that was close.
Aloni didn't look anywhere except for the Drama teacher. She was explaining movements and audience etiquette.
The teacher liked to walk around the classroom a lot and move in any way possible. She kept explaining things with body movements and examples. She must be obviously a visual learner. Then she came to acting out certain things. Like love scenes, and fight scenes.
"Ok, I need two volunteers. Now, let's see here..." the teacher kept walking around the room. She passed by Drake and Aloni "You two could do the job." she smiled at them. Uh oh, what will she have him do? Especially with her...
"I want you two to please come up to the front for me please." the teacher instructed.
Aloni got hesitant. But she didn't want to back away. So she just got up and walked to the front of the classroom, prepared to do whatever the teacher wanted them too.
"What's your names?" She asked.
"Aloni." Aloni told her.
"Drake." he said.
"Alright, Drake and Aloni." the teacher put her hands on their shoulders. Joey was snickering in the audience. "Now, we're going to pretend that there's a... oh let's say a wedding, going on for you two."
The class started laughing
"Now, now, it's just acting remember. You're going to have to do this at least once in your lifetime if you're planning on doing some acting." the teacher reminded the class. "Ok, so... um, let's have another be a volunteer... uh, can you come up and be the Reverend?" the teacher pointed to a random student.
Wow, this is kind of awkward for Drake...
Aloni shifted her weight. This isn't gonna be so comfortable, but like the teacher said, it's acting. Like it would affect Drake and her. Psh. Ok, get your head out of the clouds. This is going to be weird, yes. But hey, it's acting, and then they won't have to look at each other again today. Ok, ok. Aloni tried to get into character. She looked down at the floor.
"Okay," the teacher instructed, "You will make this up as you go, do what ever you want ok? This is called improv. Now, action!" she sat back, waiting to see what they came up with.
Aloni just sat there for a second. She nudged the "Father".
"Oh, Uh... Marriage! Marriage is what brings us togever... today." the guy playing the father mimicked the priest from the Princess Bride. Everyone chuckled.
Aloni rolled her eyes. She looked straight at Drake. Tensing up, she didn't know what to do now.
Um... let's see here, what to say...?
"Could we please skip to the ending!?" Drake said in a British accent.
Aloni smiled, "No, it's ok." she said with an accent too. "My Wesley won't want you to hurry up."
Drake turned to Aloni totally into his character now "I'm sorry, but your Wesley is dead. I killed him myself this morning. And there is nothing you can do about but marry ME." he turned back to the father "Skip to the ending I said!"
"What?" She had a totally fake but good enough awed face. "I don't believe you. Wesley is Alive!"
"No, he is not! He is not alive nor is he returning for you. Now stop babbling and let's get this over with!"
"You underestimate Him." Aloni said harshly. That's when she noticed Kyle was in this class. He waved and smiled. She smiled back.
Drake noticed Aloni smile to a guy in the class. He looked back to who she smiled at, which was a mistake. He ruined the act, oh well, better go along with it.
"How dare you! You dare to love Wesley- who is still dead- and you are getting married to me, but are flirting with one of the knights!? How many men are you cheating with anyway!?" Drake said it in a funny way. Everyone started laughing and Kyle went red.
"Excuse me?" She said un-British like. Still acting though. "You’re forcing me to marry, Wesley is apparently DEAD, and I like knights in shining armor!"
Drake pretended to stutter "B- bu-but but I- I thought I was you're knight in shining armor!! You're getting wed to me and no one else! You're Wesley we no longer need to discuss, because we now both agree he IS dead. And Stop looking at that guy from the village!!" he turned to the father "Say man and wife!!! Man and wife!!" then he turned back to Aloni "So I could just hurry and kill you tonight anyway- oops... well that spoiled our happy ending..." the class was laughing so hard at Drake's acting. He and Aloni were good at this. Even the teacher was laughing.
"No!" Aloni said British like again. "I can cheat on who ever I want to. Don't say man and wife! Wait, Kill me?" Aloni pretended to have a terrified expression.
"Oh my goodness. You are very good at this!! Ok, ok, lets wrap it up." The teacher said, "I like the twist on the Princess Bride there, well done."
Drake sighed, they were done. Yes!
"Alright, you may take a seat, good job." the teacher clapped and the rest of the class followed. "Now you see how they did that? They made a very serious situation very funny and kind of did a spoof on a movie." the teacher tried to hold back her laughter, then she went on and on again about acting.
Aloni sat down and, with great relief, made it through the rest of the class. Too bad Jade wasn't here. She'd be laughing hard. She turned around to look at Kyle. She smiled. He smiled back and gave her a thumb's up.
RING! The bell rang.
Everyone scattered across the classroom and out the door. Drake got up real fast and caught up to Aloni.
"Hey," he said "Sorry to embarrass you about the guy during the acting thing... I just played along with it." he apologized.
"Oh," Aloni looked at him. "That's fine. I thought it was creative." She said. Then Kyle caught up with them.
"Hey, You guys were great!" He said.
"Thanks." She said.
"Thanks." Drake nodded. A spike of hate flew through Drake when he saw Kyle. He didn't know why, what was there to hate about him? He just didn't like seeing him with... her. Why did he care? He has his own girl friend now. And he doesn't like Aloni anyway so why should it matter. Joey was calling for him. "Well, see ya." Drake walked off to meet up with his gang.
Aloni smiled and hugged Kyle. Wow, her first boyfriend here. That's amazing to have on her first day. He chuckled.
"No really, he's hilarious." Kyle told her.
"Isn't he? Too bad he's a jerk in real life." Aloni said looking straight ahead.
"Huh? Why?"
"Well, he'd talk only to my friend, not to me, and well, I guess...I don't really know."
"You should find out more about him before you judge him."
Aloni didn’t say anything.
"So what makes him such a big jerk…?" Kyle asked.
"Well...like I said...I guess I don't really know. Except that he and his friend keeps looking at Jade and I and talk about us most likely. Sides, everyone except you and my friends think at first sight that I'm a rich snob."
"How do you know what everyone else is thinking?"
"Well, people have actually talked to me about it. They're like, "Oh, I thought you would’ve been a snobby brat, but I guess your not."
"I don't think you're like that..."
"I know you don't." She smiled.
"SO how do you know that this guy thinks you're spoiled brat? I think he's a pretty funny."
"We met first period. And I think he is, just to me, he seems different than to everyone else. I don't know. But, what are you doing today after school?"
"Oh, I'm gonna finish unpacking and getting settled into my dorm. But I could do something else with you if you want."
"No it's ok, I should do that too." Aloni said.
Kyle smiled "Ok. I gotta go to my next class, I'll see you later." he gave her a hug and went his own way.
"Ok bye." She went her own way too. What class was it? French? No, wait, yeah? She couldn't remember.
Drake went to his Spanish class. The teacher was very spunky. What was she smoking? Drake didn't want to find out...
The class ended. Everyone was free to go to their dorms and/or get a snack from the food court.
