In a couple weeks you think I can add 20lbs of muscle and drop my bf by ~10%?
---- is that ALL you want to do???
Stick to your diet. Train hard and the result you will see wont be as insanely incredible as what you are talking about above, but they will be impressive because they will be the fruit of your labor and discipline. Good luck!!!

I didn't think I could really do that...
Should've never posted that, lol...
I'm actually probably around 10-12% BF, and want to drop it by 6% or so.. So if i get to 190lbs in a year or so.. how much do you think my bf would've increased>? Then how much weight would i have to drop?

In a years time I don't see why you couldn't hit your goals. 20 pounds of muscle naturally in a year is a lot, however if you're fairly new to weight training then it shouldn't be a big deal. I'd just suggest training hard and putting on mass for about 8 months then switch to a mild cutting mode to lose the fat slowly or else you may get rid of some of that hard earned muscle. Better to take it slowly then to rush it and waste some of your hard work.
Or you could do something like bulk for 2 weeks then cut for 1 or 2. Just don't go crazy on either phase. For the dieting phase just aim to lose any excess fat you may have gained during the mass phase as to keep your bodyfat in check the entire year. Or if you play your cards right you could slowly dip into fat stores throughout the year so by the time you reach your 20 pounds of muscle goal you will be less bodyfat than when you started. Also your diet week will go very efficiently since leptin levels will be nice and high from the bulking phase. By the time your diet phase is over and leptin begins to drop you're right back into a bulk phase.

Makes: 16 servings
Ingredients:
2 cups natural peanut butter/almond butter/cashew butter
1 3/4 cups honey
2 1/4 cups of protein powder
3 cups dry, uncooked oatmeal
Directions:
Combine peanut butter and honey in a large mixing bowl and heat in the microwave for about 70 seconds. Stir in protein powder and oatmeal. Mix thoroughly. It will be thick!
Press into a 9" x 13" pan. Refrigerate until solid enough to cut and then cut into 16 equal bars. Wrap each bar in foil or saran wrap and store in plastic baggie in refrigerator.

That's the recipe for the protein bars... Is the honey a bad source of carbs or will it be good?

I would not say that diet is flawless.
First of all, how do you work out so late in the day and still fall asleep?
Second of all, how much muscle you gain is predicated on how many carbs you eat with your proteins in the several hours after working out. You are eating whey and grape juice, then going to bed.
Ideally you should work out at least 5 hours before you sleep and eat 2-3 moderate carb meals and one pure protein meal immediately before bed.
At the very least, eat a very slow digesting protein immediately before going to bed. Cottage cheese or a steak are the two best choices, assuming you are not rich and cannot afford one of those "night time" formulas.

Well maybe I could WO after school @ 3:45 till 4:45 and work @ 5...
Would it be better to eat less preworkout, maybe just whey before and then eat a lot postworkout and have 5 hours+ before i go to sleep or eat a good meal, wait an hour to workout and not eat as much postworkout...

Without a carb source your body will just convert your pre-workout whey into energy (glucose). Have verified this with a glucometer. Depending on what your stomach can handle, get some good carbs and protein before you workout to maximize your energy and muscle building during your workout.
