Rolling my shoulder blades, I packed my stuff and got up. ''Mr. Whitewood, could you please stay behind for a moment.'' He nodded at Mrs. Thompson who was filling in for Mr. Adams.

I watched the two until Jacob's expression changed to a concerned one, I looked away and started to walk towards the exit until I heard Jacob fall in step with me. ''So, I uh, for the purpose of the project think that it would be better if we split the jobs.'' He said as I frowned and turned to face him.

''Jacob, it's a paired effort that means both of us have to do an equal amount of work--'' He cut me off and said. ''I know Prince but I just think you'd be better at the information and I'll create the model while also creating a video using the information you've found, sounds like a plan? Cool.'' At the last word, I watched as he quickly rushed past me and walked towards the stairs.

Weird.

Shaking my head I walked past the health class as a boy with blonde hair bumped into me. ''Sorry,'' I heard a chuckle and looked up to see the one and only Jace Rodriguez. ''It's okay, it was my fault anyway.'' He said. ''What's class do you have next?'' He asked as I answered in an annoyed tone. ''Math,''

''Same.'' I looked at Jace in surprise. ''You are not in my math class,'' I told him as he chuckled.

''No, I'm not but I have math as well, in fact, I'm sure Mr. Patterson was going to combine mine and my brother's class.'' He said as I gave him a look of fake sympathy.

''Aww poor you,'' I said as he smiled. 'Where the hell did this come from?' I asked myself.

''I know, I'll see you around.''

''I'm Evelyn,'' I told him.

''I know,'' 'Okay.' With that thought, I made my way towards the math class.

Hurriedly I walked into the math class and took my seat. Mrs. Bush smiled at the class. 'Is she possessed?' I swallowed down the urge to laugh as Mrs. Bush explained how our class was going to be combined with Mr. Patterson's class.''

'Jace said that his and his brothers class.'' I examined the people around me: To my left was Diego and to my right Summer, behind me was no one considering we sat at the back. I looked for the boy until everyone started to get up. I sighed maybe Jace was mistaken. Getting up I grabbed my bag and followed the crowd to Mr. Patterson's class.

Almost getting pushed into a wall, I stopped as I heard a voice. ''Hey, you okay?'' I turned around to see the concern in the grey eyes. Kaleb.

I nodded as we both continued walking. ''You're in this class?'' I didn't hide my confusion and shock as he looked at me with something in his eyes; something I couldn't figure out. ''Yeah, yeah I am.'' We walked in silence as we entered the class, everyone stared at us as I quickly walked away from Kaleb and sat down next to Diego who gave me a look that said 'get me out of here already.' I shook my head at him as both teachers clapped their hands.

''Since we're talking about careers for all our classes we decided to schedule a careers pathway visit to the ENB careers pathway showground. We'll go as one class and you'll be more exposed and have more insight into the career options available.'' Mr. Patterson said as Mrs. Bush smiled at us all. ''And I believe you all will be on your best behavior, correct?'' We all nodded at her words as I mentally rolled my eyes at the girls.
