When
Everything Feels Like The Movies by Raziel Reid
“School is just like a film set: there's The Crew, who make
things happen, The Extras who fill the empty desks, and The Movie Stars, whom
everyone wants tagged in their Facebook photos. But Jude doesn't fit in. He's
not part of The Crew because he isn't about to do anything unless it's
court-appointed; he's not an Extra because nothing about him is anonymous; and
he's not a Movie Star because even though everyone knows his name like an
A-lister, he isn't invited to the cool parties. As the director calls action,
Jude is the flamer that lights the set on fire.” –Amazon
