Hugs for everyone oooooo :P

Friday afternoon

So that whole homework thing? It's not my forte. Besides it's Friday. Don't these teachers have lives? Why assign us homework on a Friday? These teachers must think we have no lives because we're stuck here in this boarding school. Wrong, me, Geoff and the guys made plans to go down to that plaza again for some bro time.

Another thing? It's still the first week of school! I was assigned to do a math ditto, and some Western Civilization research on someone who was famous in European history, like from hundreds of years ago. Both assignments are due on Monday, so I guess that means I will do them Monday. Logic, right?

But, I have been staring at my math worksheet for about a half hour, because for some insane reason I thought it would be a good idea to do some of it now. But, I guess my brain and my hand aren't coinciding.

"Hey man, what's up?" Trent opened the door to our room and walked in. He tossed his bag on the ground, and climbed up to his top bunk. I heard him sigh in relief of his bed.

"Nothing. Just…sitting here." I say, and toss my work sheet under my bed, knowing I won't do it today anyway.

"Where's Deej?" Trent asks.

"I dunno. I think he said something about the library earlier."

"Are the five of us still on for tonight?" Trent asks.

"Five? I thought it was just us four." I say.

"Yeah, but I invited that Cody kid. I felt kind of bad, Geoff and I were talking earlier, and Cody kind of overheard, and I asked him to come along."

I growl annoyed.

"Aw, come on. He isn't that bad." Trent says.

"He isn't bad," I say. "Just annoying as hell. I have four classes with the dude!"

"I'm sure he'll grow on you." Trent says.

"I hope you mean that metaphorically."

"Why wouldn't I?"

"Because you never know with that kid."

We both crack up laughing. Cody is a slightly scrawny kid, a few inches shorter than me. Brown hair, crooked teeth, and a pretty large ego. He doesn't think he's above anyone, or anything like that. He thinks he's this big ladies man, and that all the girls want him. They don't. But, you have to admire his persistence. He's also a huge nerd. He loves comic books, and junk like that. But, other than that I guess I don't have a problem with him. It isn't like any girl I'm interested in, is interested in him back.

"Man, it's like the first week of school and some of these teachers have already given me homework." Trent complains.

"I'm with you man, I already have a Western Civ. Assignment." I grunt.

"I think we have the same teacher, Mr. Daniels?"

"Yup."

"Yikes. He's pretty rough. He hates my class. I have that obnoxious chick Heather, from English in that class with me. She's seriously harsh. She practically bit my face off when I told her to calm down." I couldn't help but laugh.

"What's so funny?" Trent asks.

"Nothing. But," I contemplate whether I should tell Trent about what happened with Gwen the other day in the cafeteria. She never said I couldn't tell anyone, and it's not like it's some big secret.

"What?" Trent asks.

"Well, a few days ago Heather was freaking out of Gwen, you know from English? Black and blue hair.""Oh, yeah. I know her." Trent says.

"Anyway, Heather started ganging up on her, and took her journal and began reading it out loud, for absolute no reason. She's harsh."

"Oh man, poor Gwen. How did she take it?" Trent asks, climbing down from his bunk.

I shrug. "Not so well at first. She's fine now, we talked it out." I say.

"Good to know." Trent says, taking off his blazer and hanging it up in the closet. "So…Duncan. Do you have a girl back home?" Trent asks casually.

"Nope." I say, resting back onto my pillow.

"Anyone in particular you like here?" Trent crosses the room, unbuttoning his shirt searching for a new t-shirt to wear.

"I've got my eye on someone, yeah."

"Anyone I know?" Trent finds a shirt, and throws it on.

"Probably." I shrug. I don't know if he has any classes with Courtney. But, I'm sure they've met before.

"Probably? Who are you talking ab-

The door swung open, and Dj came walking in with his backpack on his bag. It looked half his size. Dj had his usual beanie on his head, and he was dressed in his uniform still.

Dj dropped his backpack on the floor on top of Trent's and passed out on the couch.

"Sup, man?" I say casually.

"Ow." He groans in response. "Too…much…work. And it's Friday!" He complains. Finally, someone else who sees things the way I see them. Trent chuckles, and crosses the room and sits back in one of the recliners.

"You still down for going out tonight?" Trent asks Dj.

"Definitely." Dj says, smiling. "I say after we grab some food, we teepee the girls side of our Hall."

"Alright, Dj my man!" I grin. "Great idea, dude!"

"Thanks, I was thinking about that instead of working on my English paper for Mr. Talbot." Dj grunted.

"Nice, I say we buy some whipped cream cans, and toilet paper and strike the girls hall around midnight. That's usually when all of the Room Advisors are asleep." I suggest.

"Whoa, guys. Is this a good idea?" Trent says cautiously.

"Why not? It's not like anyone would know it would be us. Besides, it's still the first week of school, if anyone is caught, they'll go easy on us." I say, totally relaxed. I've pulled this sort of stuff a million times before.

"What about the cameras?" Trent points out.

"I don't think there are any cameras in the halls." Dj answers.

"Sweet." I grin.

"Well dudes, if we're going to do this, we need to plan this out." Trent returns my grin.

"Yeah that's what I'm talking about!" I cheer.

Trent grinned and began planning, "Okay, here's what we should do…"

Friday Night

The five of us already bought the stuff for the girls hall raid. We've decided to do me and Geoff's halls, since we know the girls who live there, and it'll be funnier this way. Geoff didn't want to do his at first, because of Bridgette. But, I convinced him otherwise. I would pay to see Courtney freak when she sees the mess tomorrow morning. We bought whipped cream, shaving cream, silly string, tons of toilet paper, and Vaseline. The Vaseline is for wiping on the door knobs, so when they go to open their doors, it's too slippery to open! It'll be classic.

Now we're in the diner Geoff and I were in earlier this week. There are a lot more people here tonight though. The waitress drops off our food, and Geoff totally goes all out with his meal. It's makes me laugh, last time we were here he wouldn't eat anything close to meat, because Bridgette was here. Not tonight, so far he had a basket of buffalo wings, two refills of Coke, and now he's eating a double cheeseburger.

"I think I'm gonna make my move." Cody suddenly says.

"Move on what?" I ask.

"Yeah dude, what are you talking about?" Trent asks, opening the ketchup bottle.

"There's the girl I've totally had my eye on since I met her. We took the same train to the school, and we've sort of been talking since orientation."

"Define, 'sort-of-talking'." Dj says.

"Like, small talk." Cody says.

"Who's the girl, do I know her?" I ask.

"Uh yeah. Her name is Gwen." I snort, and Trent looks like he's choking on his French fry.

"Dude!" Dj cries, and slaps Trent on the back. Trent coughs up his chewed up food into a napkin. That's sick. I don't know if it's the good sick, or the disgusting sick.

"Here, drink some water." I push Trent's water glass toward him, and he takes a long sip.

"You good?" Geoff pauses from stuffing his face.

"Sure." Trent slowly goes back to eating his food.

"Yeah, anyway dudes, I think tomorrow afternoon when she sees the mess in the hall I can help her clean it up, and I'll see how it goes, and ask her out then." Cody finishes.

"Are you sure you wanna do that?" I ask.

"Yeah, why not?"

"What I meant was, are you sure she likes you?"

"Yeah, I think so."

Here's the problem. I know Gwen does not like Cody. I mean Cody? CODY. Seriously, he's like Gwen's anti. I have no idea why he would like her. I mean, I do know why he would like her, but what connection do they have? Gwen belongs with someone who has the same common interests as her.

"Maybe you should wait it out." I suggest casually.

"Maybe you're right." Cody says thoughtfully.

"Yeah, I think Duncan's right." Trent suddenly says.

We all look at Trent, who is continues trying to get the ketchup out of the bottle. Geoff is still stuffing his face, too busy to pay any kind of attention to the situation.

"What are you guys staring at?" Trent puts the ketchup bottle down.

"Nothing." Dj responds. The guys go back to their food and start talking about school and fall sports.

Dj and Geoff are both thinking about trying out for football. Cody wants to be on the Academic Decathlon team, and Trent is already in a guitar class so he's looking forward to helping around the music department. I don't have anything specific to look forward to. I don't know what I'm good at, or what I like. I've always sort of liked Hockey, though. Football is too contact for my liking, and the idea of wrestling appears gross to me. Although, I was on the wrestling team my first year in high school. Then I quit, but I'm sure you all know I can't stick to anything.

But, I can't help but realize, I think Trent has a thing for Gwen. Not like a crush, or anything. The term crush sounds childish to me. I really do think something is there. I'm surprised I haven't caught it sooner. A couple of times this week in English, Trent always stops by Gwen's desk and starts a conversation with her.

Something kind of stupid and irrelevant, like about how the food tastes in the cafeteria, or homework for the math class they apparently have together. I don't know what is going on, but I have to know what's going on. If there's something in my head, like a small thought it sits there and scratches at my brain until I get my answer.

Believe me, I will get my answer.

Three hours later we were wrapping everything up. This place looks sick. There's toilet paper everywhere. Trent and Geoff rubbed the Vaseline on every door, and Dj sprayed whipped cream at the food of every door. So that way tomorrow morning when the girls step out, they'll step into their first surprise.

Cody and I threw toilet paper everywhere. We rolled it around the floor, over the doorknobs, and all over the side tables, with the little plants on top. It took us twenty minutes to do, a personal best record for me. The guys and I fled the scene asap. Now we are all back in my room for the night. All of us are staying in my room, this way Geoff and Cody aren't caught wandering around at one thirty in the morning.

"I gotta hand it to ya, boys. We did good." I say grabbing a water bottle out of the mini fridge in our room.

"Yeah, I've never done anything like that before! That was awesome!" Cody says, he plopped on my couch, and laid back.

"Those girls are going to be so screwed tomorrow!" Geoff laughed.

"There's no way we can be caught, right?" Dj asks, going toward his bed.

"No way, we're in the clear." I say.

"Besides the worse they can do is make us clean it up." Trent shrugs carelessly.

"Yeah! We so rock!" Geoff cheered.

"Geoff, what are you gonna do the second Bridgette finds out you were part of this disaster" I ask laughing.

"Shut up, man!" Geoff says. "You don't think she'll find out, right?" Geoff asks paranoid.

"You never know." Trent smirked. Nice, he's learning from me.

"Oh shut up." Geoff said, grabbing one of my pillows and whacking me in the side of the head with it. He then found a spot of the floor, and rested his head on the pillow.

Dj shut the lights off, "Okay guys, let's get to sleep. We don't want anyone to hear us, and suspect anything." He says."Fine with me, I'm exhausted anyway." I say, jumping onto my bed, and collapsing backward.

"I just can't wait to see how it is all going to go down tomorrow." Geoff says.

I laugh, and close my eyes. I couldn't agree more.

I hope you guys liked that one, sorry it was kind of boring, and pretty short. But, the chapter will be better! 3
