Roger sat on the bench in the giant lawn by the entrance of the school. He didn't really want to go to English class at the moment. Everyone just walked by him like he was nothing but he didn't really care. The bell was sure to ring any minute now but he didn't move from his spot.

Mark saw Roger sitting by himself. He smiled and shook his head. I pulled his camera out of his bag and started filming.
He walked up and around Roger, pointing the camera in his face. "What do we have here? Roger Davis, looking as stoic as ever. Could this be? Roger being angsty? No?"
Mark pulled the camera away from his face and smiled.

Roger saw Mark and smiled. "Hey Mark. I thought you would be in class by now," Roger told Mark. "As for me, I don't feel like going to English at all but I'll probably go in late. Not to mention I have drama today," He said with the most digusted face.

Mark frowned. Roger really wasn't liking this whole "gotta graduate high school" thing.
"Rog, you can't be late again. I know you hate English, but that's why I'm in there with you. Remember, what you don't get, I help you with. And in return, you keep me from having to actually act in drama."
Mark sat down beside Roger, "Seriously man, it's not that bad of a class."

Roger saw the look Mark gave him and sighed. "I know, I know. I don't exactly hate English. Yea I know, thanks man. You'll always there for me," Roger continued, "It isn't a bad class but I just don't like to interact with other people that I don't know, you know that."

Mark patted Roger on the back.
"No worries, man. That's what best friends are for. 'Cause I'm pretty sure I'd not made it this far without you watching my back. So it's the least I can do to make sure you don't get detention over English."
Mark smiled and put the camera back on Roger, "Close on Roger, still contemplating either the meaning of life or the meaning of last night's reading assignment."

Roger grinned at his best friend. "Of course that's what best friends are for. I mean we knew each other since we were in diapers and I still had to watch your back," He joked. Only with his best friends could he be this social. Roger grabbed the camera from Mark and focused it. "And here's Mark, still looking at Maureen from a far but should go and talk to her," He smiled and got up from the bench.

Mark smiled. He seemed to be the only person who could get Roger to say something beyond a unrecognizable grunt.
Suddenly Roger grabbed his camera and started filming him. Then came the Maureen ribs. Mark threw his hands up, "Not funny man! She might hear you! That's the whole point of unrequited love! She's not supposed to know about it! And you better not break my camera. I may have known you my entire life but if you break my camera I'll use what blackmail I have on you!"
Mark smiled at Roger. Yep, the dirt he had on him.

He started to laugh and gave back the camera to Mark. "Sheesh I was just kidding man. But c'mon you should talk to her more. Don't you want something to happen? Or will always just sit there and watch her date other guys?" Roger questioned. "Blackmail? What blackmail?"

Roger handed Mark his camera. Mark checked it over to make sure nothing was out of place, although he trusted Roger with his camera more than he trusted anyone else with it.
"Rog, seriously. Marueen would never be interested in me. I mean look at me! I'm so far away from her type that I'm lucky is she would tell me to move out of her way in the hallway."
Mark smiled, "Yes Rog, blackmail. I mean you may be so stoic and brooding now, but I remember things that would tarnish that reputation." Mark winked.

"Well you never know unless you try. I mean she's in our drama class so you could talk to her about advice about acting or help her with her sound systems or something. Mark, you could probably get a chance with her if you try," Roger advised. But for him, it has been the same way. I mean he could try get girl's attention but to actually go for it, nah it wasn't him.
"Oh Mark Seth Cohen, you better shut your mouth right now," Roger said in a joking strict voice.

"Well, Roger Kyle Davis, I'd play nice then," Mark paused and tapped his finger on his head, "Cause I've got loads of secrets in here."
Mark frowned, "I don't know, Rog. I mean you've seen me with girls. I freeze up. I go to talk to them and when I open my mouth, I'm lucky if a squeak comes out."
He put his camera back to his face, "Maybe it's just better if I stay behind the lense."

Roger playfully punched Mark on the arm. "Yea well I'll help you k? I mean well if I see Maureen around, I'll put in a good word for ya." Roger smiled. "Nah, if you stay behind the lense, then you won't experience anything in life."

Mark pulled his camera away from his face and ran his other hand through his hair.
"You're not going to take no for an answer are you?"
Mark sighed. "Ok, Rog, I'll let you do this but just don't come straight out and tell her that I've loved her since I was a freshman, ok? I mean you can maybe just find a way to let me get closer to her or something because."
Mark scoffed, "Ya know, this is probably going to end with her liking you, ya know? You seem more her type."

"Nope I'm not gonna take no for an answer." He smiled with triumph. "No worries, I'll help ya get the girl well try to anyways. I promise I won't, I mean I'll find someway to get her to notice you," Roger replied. Then it dawned on him, he didn't really know Maureen at all and I mean it wasn't like him to just go up and start talking to her, he needed to find a way though. "Nah I'm not into girls like her, I mean she loves Drama, I hate Drama, remember?"
