"Sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry I'm late miss, training ran over" Lyra hurriedly explained as she bursted through the door to the science lab while her hair dripped with pool water.

Sighing, MISS O'CONNOR replied "Okay Lyra just take a seat and use LANDO's book to catch up, and next time try to be quicker". Lyra nodded as she quickly made her way towards her seat next to Lando.

"You smell like a pool" Lando said.

"Thank you so much for telling me that Lando! I would never have known otherwise" She sarcastically responded with a sarcastic smile to match while rolling her eyes. Lando quickly replicating the gesture.

It's safe to say the amount of hatred both individuals felt for each other was indescribable. With both Lyra and Lando being athletes naturally their competitive sides were always present, not just when it came to sports. Of course there were other students who played a sport, however there was just something about Lyra and Lando that made them rival one another to a different level.

"Lando and Lyra stop bickering and just catch up on the work" Miss O'Connor interrupted the two.

"Yes miss" they both lowly reply.

"Let me see your book then so I can catch up".

Lando sighed dramatically as he turned his book so that Lyra could copy his work.

"Thanks wasn't that hard was it?"

The rest of the lesson dragged for Lyra as she kept her eye on the clock, counting down the minutes till it would end and she get her lunch.

"Your stomach keeps rumbling and it's annoying" Lando complained.

"Well I'm sorry but I can't help it can I." Lyra said bluntly. "You'll just have to deal with it won't you"

Finally, after a long forty five minutes the bell finally rang signally it was time for their lunch break. Quickly pushing her stool back Lyra grabbed her bag and headed for the door as she swiftly navigated her way through the school corridors to the lunch hall hoping to get there before the long queue would form.

Luckily, Lyra beat the queue and managed to get her lunch quickly meaning she didn't have to wait ages in the queue for a school lunch, which in reality isn't even that nice. However today Lyra didn't care about how the meal tasted as she was so hungry she would have just eaten anything she was given.

"Hey" Bailey, Lyra's best friend, said.

"Hey, how's your day been so far?" Lyra asked.

"Meh I didn't understand a thing that we learned in maths but otherwise it's been okay. What about you, how was training?"

"Training was good. It ran over again which meant I was late to physics so I had to sit next to Lando who is still as annoying as always. Like he just seems to think he's so much better than everyone just because he can drive in a circle." Lyra complained.

"I still think that you secretly like him. Think about it yous would definitely have cute kids if you ever got together."

Lyra scoffed "Bailey do you not hear me complain about that ignorant boy everyday and do you not understand that we both despise each other? We are never ever going to get together." she said putting emphasis on the despise.

"Still, you would have cute kids and I stand by that" Bailey stood by her point.

"Bailey I would rather die than get with him. It's never going to happen."

"Alright everyone we have a new seating plan so please stand at the back of the classroom while I tell you all where you are going to sit" Mr Peters shouted over the chatter of the students.

"I hope he still lets us sit together" Bailey whispered to Lyra.

"Same"

"Lyra you will be sat next to Lando at this table here" Mr Peters says as he points to a table at the back row.

Lyra looks at Bailey wide eyed. "Is he joking?"

Bailey just snorts as Lyra glares at her. An audible groan is heard from across the classroom coming from none other than the one person that Lyra hates the most.

Lyra slumps down on the chair making sure not to acknowledge Lando next to her, like she would try to do for the rest of the time she has to sit next to him.

"Right then, now that you are all settled down and in your new seats I can tell you all about your new project" Groans echo around the room after Mr Peters announces this and Lyra immediately looks at Bailey and Bailey looks at Lyra, both deciding that they would work together for the project. "So, unlike last time you will not get to choose your partners for the project, you will be working with the person you are sat next to."

"You've got to be joking!" Both Lando and Lyra say in unison with clear looks of horror on their faces neither liking the idea of having to work together.

"Yes, Lando and Lyra, I'm not joking." Mr Peters states. "Now as I was going to say before i was interrupted" Mr Peters looks at both Lando and Lyra "The theme for your project will be on an individual in sport who has inspired you and how you think they have contributed to their sport. You will all have 4 weeks to complete your projects and every pair will have to present their projects afterwards. Any questions?" He asks.

Lyra raises her hand.

"Lyra if your going to ask if you can work by yourself the answer is a no"

Sighing she lowers her hand in defeat.

"Okay everyone can start discussing their potential plans for their projects with their partners for the rest of the lesson"

"Sooo..." Lyra starts turning to face Lando "I say we just come up with a person to do it on and get it finished as soon as possible to save us both the annoyance of having to work with one another."

"Okay then, so how do we decide who to do it on?" Lando asks. "Because I know who I would choose to do it on but I also know that you will disagree"

"Well how do you know that if you don't say who you would pick?"

"Because I just know that you won't want to do it on who I suggest because your annoying"

"First of all who's to say that I wouldn't want to do it on who you want to and second of all I am not annoying it's you who is annoying." Lyra says.

Lando sighs "Well would you want to do it on Michael Schumacher?"

Lyra pauses pretending to think in an attempt to prove Lando wrong "Well..."

"See what did I say" Lando rolls his eyes. "So who do you want to do it on?"

"Michael Phelps"

"Well we both want to do it on someone called Michael"

Lyra groans knowing that they aren't going to be able to come to a decision anytime soon.
