Flashing lights and the smell of alcohol were all around her. Loud music and people bumping into each other in a crowded room. She couldn't understand why she was in this setting. It was odd and unfamiliar. She couldn't remember how she got there. And then, she felt something jump onto her and she was brought back into reality. Her eyes blinked open to see her dog hanging over her with his mouth hanging open. She sat up on her elbows and the dog sprinted out of the room barking at the air. She rubbed her eyes and went to check her phone. No notifications, as expected. She got dressed on a white tank top with a flannel and some black jeans and a belt. She brushed her long red hair and applied light makeup. Finally, she rested her cute round glasses on the ridge of her nose before slipping on her black boots. She hopped in her car and drove until she arrived at her school. Normal, boring, and routine.
She went to her locker to get ready for the first period. As she placed her things in her locker she saw out of the corner of her eye, Ivan Zhakarov. He's the best looking guy in school and she could definitely not argue with that opinion. Scarlett began to head to 1st period science class. She always enjoyed science. She walked in and took a seat near the front row as usual.
"Good morning, class. We will be doing a project today and for some of the rest of the week. I will be picking partners." She then picked two names out of a bowl filled with paper strips. The teacher adjusts her own glasses before calling out the names.
"Ivan and..." She paused, squinting to read the small print. "Scarlett." She finished. Scarlett had originally been reading a book under her desk when her head shot up at the mention of her name. She had heard his name before hers and her expression was rather shocked. She could barely believe it as he took a seat next to her. He stood at around 6'1 with fluffy brown hair in a sweater crewneck type outfit and baggy ripped jeans. She had to admit, he was rather hot. An asshole, but still hot.
He looked rather mad to be partnered with her, and even rolled his eyes as he took a seat. But Scarlett didn't mind. She didn't need his attention, whether negative or positive. Ivan sat down with a grunt.
"Let's just get this over with." He grumbled which triggered a small scoff from Scarlett. New discovery, he isn't a partial asshole, he's a total dick. She took a deep breath before putting on a warm smile and turning to him.
"So! Are you ready to begin?" She asked, pushing a paper that had been handed out in between them.
"How about no." Ivan snarked, mocking the smile she wore on her lips which quickly faded with his comment.
"Well we gotta do it sooner or later." Scarlett said, raising an eyebrow at him.
"Okay fine, I'll choose later. Meet me at the back of the school and I'll pick you up there." He said bluntly before sliding his phone out of his bag. She opened her mouth to ask a question, but Ivan gave her a side glare and focused back to his phone. Scarlett sighed before picking her book back up and picking up where she left off in her book.
