"Okay! Okay! Settle down, settle down! Today we are going to begin the Great Depression reports and this year, I've decided to have you work in partners." The teacher smiled. The students began to look around the room and smiled at their friends. "Don't get ahead of yourselves. I picked your partners. Not only is this a history project, but this is a way to get to know the students in this classroom. So, after I say everyone's names, please find your partner and spend the rest of this period coming up with a plan and getting to know each other. Ready?" The teacher explained.

"Okay, April and Becca."

"Max and Tyler."

"Michelle and Bradley."

"Raph and Allie."

"Michael and Malarie."

"Taylor and.....Taylor" He chuckled. The teacher continued to read the list of names until he finished. "Okay, guys, get with your partners and begin your discuss your plan of attack."

Allie waved to April as she walked to the front of the class and sat down next to a girl with glasses. Allie turned around and smiled at the boy in the back.

"Look at that, we already know each other."

"You know nothing about me." Raphael scoffed. Allie moved her seat and smiled at the turtle.

"So tell me. I wanna know you. I could give a damn about the project." Allie flirted. Raph rolled his eyes and began to fidget with his pencil.

"I'll start, my name is Allison Nicolette Pierre I was born July Seventeenth, Nineteen Ninety Five and I have two little sisters. Megan and Shayleen. Your turn." Allie smiled.

Raphael remained silent.

"What's your full name?" Allie asked.

Raph sighed and rolled his eyes. "Raphael Dominic Hamato."

"Your birthday?"

"December Nineteenth, Nineteen Ninety Five."

"I know you have four brothers, what are their names?"

"Leo, Donnie and Mikey. I only have three."

"Casey?"

"Foster brother. He's not my actual brother."

"You're a foster kid?" Allie asked.

Raph looked at the ground and sighed. "Yea, I am."

"Oh.....um.....that's okay. It doesn't define you." Allison smiled. "What do we want to do for a report?" She asked as she opened her purple notebook. Raph shrugged and looked at the ground. Reaching over, she placed a hand on his thigh and watched him quickly pull away.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you."

"No, you're good. Um......." Raph sighed. The bell rang and all the students arose from their desks, walking out. Allie placed a hand on Raphael's forearm and smiled, handing him a blue sticky note.

"This is my number. Text me so I can get ahold of you or you can get ahold of me, for anything."

"Okay?" Raph said suspiciously.
