3rd Person POV
    The school bell rung signaling that classes were now switching. Charlotte swiftly picked up her book bag off the ground and headed to the door.

"Miss Addams."

She stopped and turned around to look back at her teacher. She was headed to the last class of the day and she just wanted to leave.
Charlotte tilted her head to the side slightly signaling that she was listening. She took some steps closer to her teachers desk.

"I am aware that you were not partnered up with someone for the project today, correct?"

Charlotte nodded with her eyes closed.

"Well, I had another overflow student in my other Psychology class so you will be partners with him, okay?"

"Might I ask who it is?" Charlotte asked politely.

"Well here he is now."

She turned around and saw a tall, skinny, tired looking boy standing in the middle of the doorway with his book bag hanging off one shoulder. He gave a small grin.
Charlotte knew exactly who this boy was.

Miles Fairchild. Also known as "The Freak". Charlotte had had a class with him before, 2 years ago. She could recall a time when he casually picked up a giant spider and carried it to an open window after failed attempts by the other students to stomp on it. She had also heard that just two weeks ago he had gotten suspended for bashing another boys head into the bathroom tile wall.
But this didn't bother her. She knew everyone had there own reasons for things, including Miles.
Everyone only still talked about him because he was rich... and because his parents had just passed away. Charlotte hated to admit it but this boy had piqued her Interest once before. She had only ever talked to him once or twice in their previous class, but after that she realized he wasn't what everyone said he was.

"Will this placement do, children?"

They both looked at the teacher and hesitantly nodded. Charlotte turned and brushed by Miles as she exited the room.

Charlotte's POV
Did I really just get paired up with the Fairchild frea- kid. I speed walked to my last period and sat down. I felt my eyes become heavy and soon everything went dark.

Miss Addams...miss Addams
"MISS ADDAMS"

I jolted awake. The teacher was standing over me now.

"Class is over, you may leave."

I yawned and gathered my things heading to the door. I walked into the hall way and jumped as I caught a glimpse of someone dangerously close beside me in the hallway. It was Miles.

"I was wondering if you wanted to come to my house to work on our project?" He stood tall holding his one book bag strap with his hand.

"That sounds alright." I gave him a grin. "When?"

"How about after school tomorrow?"

I nodded and walked directly passed him and out the door.
