Valentine
Here's my lil valentine story. Sorry if Mr. Derrick doesn't act the way he normally does but I just couldn't find his character description.
'Valentine Day. It's that time of year again. That one day in the year where everyone who doesn't have a boyfriend or girlfriend is made to feel like shit. Everyone's running around trying to give they're valentine away in secret to that other person they're crushing on, too embarrassed to give it in person.' thought Natalie. As she walked around campus she saw different people finding cards in all sorts of odd places while some search desperately to no avail.
"I guess some people have better luck than others." she thought out loud when she saw Gene kissing some girl. 'Didn't Gene get a valentine from some other girl who he also kissed though?
She sat down under a tree outside and started doodling in her ever present notebook named "Himitsu" in honor of her cat, now a permanent resident of Kitty Cat Heaven. May he rest in peace.
"What's this?" Natalie asked herself as she crooked her head sideway staring at her doodle. It was a stick girl with long curly hair holding out a heart to a tall stickman.
"Hmm, should I join in on this 'Holiday' that always seems to ruin my birthdays? I did promise myself that I was going to try new things as a new year’s resolution, but do I really want to try this?" Natalie sat there pondering this intriguing thought for a while.
'Why not? It's not like I have anything to lose anyway.' she thought as a smile came to her face and actually got a little excited about it. She got up and walked to her locker thinking, 'I know exactly what I'm going to do. I'll do things the exact way everybody else doesn't do them. Instead of hiding I'll give it to him straight up. Who'll be him though? That might be a problem. Well, Sorens automatically crossed off the list. He has enough girls as it is. Who could be him? Since my doodle has a tall guy with short hair, it can't be anyone that's short or has long hair.' she sat there pondering for a while.
'Finding a guy is alot harder than I thought.' she thought when Mr. Derrick passed by and sat down at a table.
'There's gotta be someone. I'm sure there is, but who? Someone with rare and strange talents.' she thought as she watched Mr. Derrick balance a pea on his nose.
'It needs to be someone smart,'
"Yes! I've finally discovered the meaning of life!" yelled Mr. Derrick in joy.
'He has to know how to dance and be smooth.' she thought still staring in the general direction of Mr. Derrick as he then proceeds to do a little victory jigg, backflips included.
'Someone who's not shy and has good self-esteem and isn't scared to scream to the whole world what ever it is he feels like screaming at it.'
"Guess what everyone!!! I've discovered the meaning to life!!!!!" he yelled standing on top of the table.
'Someone who's fast and athletic.'
Mr. Derrick then jumps off the table and runs around the whole campus in about 4 minutes and comes back without so much as a sweat or pant for breath, still full of energy and excitement.
'Who could he be? Even if I do find him he'll probably be gay. He's too perfect.'
"What?! Mr. Derricks gay? I had no idea." says some random student.
"What?! I'm as straight as it gets! Not that I have anything against gay guys, but I need some cleavege!" he says jumping out from behind the student.
'The solution is probably right under my nose and I just haven't realised it yet.' she thought as she put the finishing touches to her card.
"Guess what? I've just discovered the meaning to life!" says Mr. Derrick enthusiastically to Natalie.
"Really? What is it?" Natalie stares up at him questioningly.
"It's actually quite simple, you see-"
::WHOOSH::
He starts explaining the meaning to life but the wind starts to blow so hard no one can hear the explanation except Natalie.
"I see. That actually is quite simple!" she responds smiling up at him.
"I know!" he say then realises the wind blew all his papers away and runs after them.
'Now back to my dilemma.' Natalie thought as she stared at Mr. Derrick chasing his papers. Then it clickt.
'Why not Mr. Derrick? He's cute, has a nice name, is athletic, likes cleavage, has rare and strange talents, actually has a brain and most important of all is tall and has short hair just like in my doodle. He's just perfect! Now how to approach? Most girls don't even do it themselves or get dragged by one of their friends so I'll just walk up to him.' she thought getting up smiling and walking towards him.
"Mr. Derrick, I have something I want to give you." she says stepping on a paper he was about to grab. He looked up at her questioningly.
"Here, this is my valentine to you." she says as she bent down to give him a kiss on the cheek and puts the valentine in his shirt pocket.
::BEEP BEEP:: ::BEEP BEEP::
"Oh, no! I'm late for class!" she says while checking her watch then running off at the speed of a bullet, leaving Mr. Derrick a little confused. He then pulls out the valentine and reads it.
