The Project

The school has been quite boring since Mel has been suspended. 

Now since the little incident, I have been noticing Adrien a lot more. I have never noticed his presence until his little appearance on Britney's and Melissa's fight, and when he came claiming to be the place I have always been sitting at, is his spot.

Like calm down Sheldon Cooper! I sat here first.

I have noticed that every time I see him, he's glaring at me; I already know that he doesn't like me. But I don't exactly care because I don't like him either.

Right now, I'm currently writing an essay for my English class. The teacher assigned us to do an essay based on our desired future career paths. And like I decided, or want to become a vet; I'm writing about that. I was almost finishing until the teacher decided to give us a small announcement.

"If I could please have your attention, I would like to give you your project that needs to be done by the end of the semester," the teacher said. He looked through some sheets of paper on his desk and then continued. "I will tell you next week the pairs for this project, and what this project is about. Although I still can't provide you information about your future partner's name. I will only provide you on how this project will be consisted of. 

The project consists of only 2 people. The 2 people of my choosing will be based on your grades and understanding. For example, if you have the highest grades of the class, I will pair you up with the person that has the lowest grades; this method will allow both pairs to exceed your mental capacity and patience." The teacher explained and then we were dismissed for our next class. Or in my case history.

As I walked to my class, the only thing that I could think of is who will become my partner. There aren't that many people that are bad in Mr. Johnson's class, maybe just 2 or 3. Mel isn't bad in English either, you could say she's average, so that means she isn't going to be my partner; which is a little depressing as we live close by to each other, and she's the only person I know and can cooperate within this school. Too bad we can't be partners in this project, but this is a good opportunity on knowing new people, and maybe make fr.... fri.... frie..... frien..... friends.

That word is so unusual to me, it's a word that defines a strong bond between people, but those bonds are easily broken. Who's worthy of such a responsibility? A bond is easily broken when presented to the right temptations, and humans often succumb to temptation, so how are we so sure we wouldn't be betrayed by our own "friends."

The truth is, you don't.

Just look for the right people it's worth hurting for; I have already found that person. I wonder if there will be more?

Now, coming into our previous topic. There is only one question that is in my head right now. And that is.....

'Who will become my partner?'

~~~~~~oOoOo~~~~~~

A week passed, and we are finally going to be given the names of our partners. Most students were eager to know who was going to be their next partner, and others only wanted to get it over with. Even Melissa was eager to know, even though she had no idea of what the project was going to be about. I could just imagine her face after finding out that on her first day of school, after being suspended, she will be greeted by a project.

I almost feel bad for her.

The teacher announced the pairs for this project.

Mel was paired with a guy named Jaden. I don't know much about him, but what I do know is that he's a smart and talented guy. He's in the boy's baseball team, I heard he's the ace, the best out of all his teammates. He's not that bad, I haven't heard any bad rumors about him, so I will trust Mel with him.

Mel on the other hand, had a small frown on her face, while Jaden had a welcoming smile on his. I know why Mel is a little uncomfortable, and that's because it's difficult for her to exactly communicate with others; she's only comfortable with me, and no one else. For now, that is...... 

Let's see how things will work for them.

Name after name was called for the pairing, and mines were yet to be mentioned. When the names finished, I was a little confused, because the teacher had said all the names on the attendance, that just made me wonder.

'Who am I being paired with?'

But who knew that there was another name in that list, that has never been mentioned, because the guy doesn't even come to class. The same arrogant, idiotic guy I tried to avoid, the guy that irritated me the most for now. The guy that hurt Mel and that guy was...

Adrien Rider.
