The Unlikely Candidate
"Wow!Can you believe it bro,we're finally seniors!After all these years,we're finally in charge at our school!",Josh Nichols excitedly said to his brother.They were finally seniors,and to Drake this meant one thing,and one thing only.Party Central.Now he could get all the girls he wanted.Not that he hadn't been able to before,but now there weren't any older girls saying they didn't date younger men.For Drake,life was all fun and games,and the thought of giving that up for anything made him uncomfortable.He liked to live his life as easy and leisurely as possible.He just didn't understand uptight,schedule-oriented people like Josh.Josh liked contracts with a guaranteed certaintity of getting what he wanted,while Drake would take your word for it.They might have seemed like polar opposites,but in reality,they were more like the United States and Canada.Very close because of their location,both of different tastes,and styles,a little stubborn at times,and hard to get along with,but really very close.Life couldn't get any better,thought Drake.He was so excited that he got up that morning at 5:30a.m.Something about the first day of school made Drake excited.He would get a fresh slate,another chance to make a better life for himself.But of course,every year there were parties.Since he was one of the most popular guys in school,he was invited to all,and expected to go.If peer pressure wasn't bad enough,the teachers talked about him too.
"That Drake Parker.I've got him 7th period in my Chemistry class.He doesn't do his homework,fails mostly all his tests,and is almost always cutting class.It's a wonder he hasn't failed already.I have a notion to,but I couldn't do that.Not with his father being the former Principal,before he was murdered.No,I couldn't do that to Audrey.She's been through enough.",said his former Chemistry teacher,Mrs.Rosenbaum,to her sister one time.The rest of the teachers more or less said the same thing.There was nothing they could do about it of course,but if only they knew.If only they knew why he didn't drive himself to succeed educationally.No one knew,not his mother,Walter,Josh or even the very intelligent and bright Megan.If they knew,certainly they wouldn't be so cruel with their unkind words of his grades.They called him lazy.They said only a lazy bumb fails classes repeatedly.In a way,it was better that they thought of him that way,because sometimes a lie that seems true is better than the actual truth.Outside of his mind,Drake Parker put on an act.He put on the act of a strong,stubborn,jerky,and at times,arrogant young man.But who he truly was,was a sensitive,kind,warm,and gentle man.You never would have known,with the act that he had going.Like most sensitive Cancers,he was a good entertainer.He had everyone convinced that he was what he seemed.For someone,who indeed was the Polar Opposite of that,that is amazing.Again like his horoscope,he had had a troubling,traumatic,childhood.One that his mother had thought she knew everything about,but she didn't even know half of it.No one did,but who would he let in?Nothing stays a secret forever.Nothing.
Author's Note:Okay,so you might notice the last part from The Black Dahlia ads that ran on tv a while ago.So what do you guys think?I know this was extremely short,but I promise that if enough of you guys think this is awesome,that the chapters will get longer.So far,this is all I have of this story.So please review.Even if you don't like it,I enjoy the reviews.They help me be a better writer.
