Creative Writing class. The easiest thing ever. It's all about writing, and there aren't many projects. That means I can go real deep and personal without worrying about classmates giving it a once-over since it's all me.

" "Listen up, folks! Lately, it's been clear we're kinda light on group or partner projects. So, I'm pairing you all up today," declares Ms. Brenda, our creative writing teacher.

I'm not the biggest fan of working with people especially when it comes to writing, writing is something personal to me and having people critique and read it doesn't sit right with me. I let out an annoyed sigh and whispered a " fuck " My best friend Oscar whispers to me " don't worry bro she probably didn't partner you with any lazy slacker " he says reassuringly

" See, I don't care who I'm partnered with as long as it's not Venus " I whispered back to him. Now I have no problem with her but she's intimidating and always has the "don't talk to me, i'll murder you "expression.

" Oscar and Roger " Ms.Brenda announces

See me and Oscar have a fairly large friend group . Well he has friends and i'm just along for the ride yk. Like I talk to them and we hang out but i'm closest with him and Roger. " Venus and Noah " I could've passed out right then and there. Out of all 12 people in this class I get the ONE girl who makes my heart skip several beats.

She doesn't say anything but she sighs a deep sigh like it's the worst thing in the world.

Ouch .

Oscar pats my back kind of saying " you'll be alright " without actual words.

Ms.Thomas continues listing the pairings and I daydream about nothing and everything.

RINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

" Okay class, that's the bell. We'll continue this conversation next class " Ms. Thomas announces.

I watch as Venus slowly packs her stuff up as she's trying to be the last one in the room.

Oscar grabs my attention by tapping my arm signaling me that it's time for us to go to the gym.

As we leave the classroom I look back one more time to see Venus approaching Ms.Thomas's desk looking really disappointed.

" Damn, am I really that bad to her ? " I ask myself accidentally, saying it a bit louder than intended.

" don't stress it bro as long as you do your part of the project don't worry about her she's probably just having a bad day, don't take it personal. ." Besides we have an empty court before the girls get inside so let's go solidify our NBA careers. " Oscar tells me, causing my mouth to twitch as I force the smile down.

" you know you wanna smile. Come on let us see that face " Our other friend Rodger comes from god knows where.

I laugh while walking into the locker room leaving them falling behind.
