"Are you sure you aren't scared?" Nina whispered to me as we strutted down the hall. My heels were clacking obnoxiously on the floor, letting everyone know I was there.

"Why should I be? Shelby Kooks is not even competition," I assured her, flipping my brown hair over my shoulder, stopping at my locker.  As I was spinning my lock, I glanced at Nina, "And besides, we all know that crown is mine." 

"I wouldn't be so sure," Nina mumbled, pointing to a large poster displaying Shelby's fake smile and overly edited blue eyes, "She's trying really hard."

"Too hard," I shook my head. Poster's don't mean anything at this point. Just because she has her face posted doesn't mean she'll get votes. "And who's side are you on anyway?"  I lifted my perfectly plucked brow in her direction, and she scampered back.

"Your's, Coby, I'm on your's," she sighed, holding her hands up, "I was just saying."

"And so was I," I roll my eyes at her, "Some people are so idiotic," I mumbled, not loud enough for her to hear. I gave her a wave before walking to my next class, completely dismissing her worries. I had this crown in the bag.

"Mr. Newport! I can't do that assignment," I argued with him, crossing my hands over my chest. 

"And why not, Mr. Irwin?" he gave me an odd look, "It's one of the biggest opportunities this school can offer you in film. Take it!"

"I know, but, what am I supposed to film? I make still movies," I sighed, "No one is involved but me. I've never done something like this before!" 

"Exactly! Ashton, this is huge for you," he ran a hand through his thinning hair, "Look, I can't force you to take it, but it would be a huge mistake if you don't."

"What would I even film?" I was exasperated; why was this man trying to get me to do this? 

"It says 'an enticing standpoint on today's high school experience,' Ashton. There is something in this school that you could do. The jocks, the library, the spring formal; something that can be filmed. I believe in you," he assured me, walking behind his desk and rummaging through it. "Look, here's the application. Just look at it, I'll give you a few days."

I stare at him quizzically, taking the application quickly from his hand, glancing over it. "Okay, I'll look into it. And, I think I may have an idea forming," I grinned as I continued to stare down at the paper.

"What would that be, Mr. Irwin?" he leaned on his desk, giving me his full attention.

"The Popularity Project."
