Quiet chick

The day was seeming to go slow.

Manny just wished he'd cut class but he already had detention tomorrow for all the classes he's missed.

"Wow, i think i'm gonna kill myself." Manny said sarcastically while facing his friend Micheal.

It was only 3rd period and Manny wasn't feeling like doing any type of work today. He was in art class, which isn't even something he's interested in. The class was just easy.

"I really should have just chose that cooking class instead of this shit." Manny complained.

"Are you excited for that project the teacher assigned us." Michael asked just to tease him.

"Yeah totally, i love working in pair." Manny said rolling his eyes.

The teacher had assigned students to work with a partner on building a collage on their partners own interest. Manny thought it was the most ridiculous thing ever.

"Do you even know who your partner is?" Micheal asked.

"No. Niether do i care, i'm not doing this shit."

Micheal chuckled. "Well it's due in 3 weeks so you'll probably change your mind then."

"3 weeks? why 3 weeks, how big is this stupid collage gonna be." Manny said, this time getting out of his lazy position.

"Well i don't know but, i'd recommend you'd at least know who your partner is." Micheal teased.

Manny looked at the paper that was handed to them. He looked at the directions and the supplies that he needed for the project. At the bottom of the paper was the name of his partner.

"And who the hell is Amanda."

Manny scanned around the room. But he couldn't find Amanda, because he literally had no idea who she is.

"Oh, the quiet girl. she's right behind us." Micheal whispered.

Manny looked back, trying not to make it obvious. He recognized her from somewhere but he wasn't sure exactly from where.

"She's very artsy but barley says a word. Seriously she's always alone." Micheal added as manny just stares at her.

He was examining her features, trying to remember where he saw her from.

"She looks so...familiar." Manny said with his eyes still glued on her.

"You think she's hot?" Micheal asked.

"Not my type."

"Oh come on, maybe she isn't shy inside the sheets." Micheal smirked.

"I don't do virgins."

"Who said you can't slut her out." Micheal teased, trying to test his limit.

"If you wanna screw her be my guest but i need to converse with this girl so cut your fantasies." Manny said sharply as he got up out of his seat.

As he was approaching her, he was still trying to remember where he's seen her from.

"Hi." Manny said, with an awkward smile.

"Uhm.. your Amanda right." Manny added, only trying to start small talk.

"Seriously." She finally said. "You seriously don't recognize me?"

"Uhm am i supposed too?" Manny said now sounding cocky.

"Your always at my house..you pet my cat one time, and once you accidentally spilled soda on my sketchbook...which you didn't even care to clean up."

Manny thought for a moment.

"I think your making this stuff up." Manny finally said.

"Or maybe you've never cared to notice my existence.. I'm Lucas step sister."

What the fuck.

All Manny can think was what the fuck.

"Oh. Well let me know when you want to start that project." Manny said walking away like nothing just happened.

As he was heading back to his seat, he wondered how the hell he didn't recognize this girl.

Lucas step sister? Seriously? He never speaks about her, how was i supposed to know. Plus she barley comes her of her room.

Manny thought to himself. He felt kinda dumb.

As the bell rung, he rushed through the door trying to find his way to the bathroom. Lucas had texted him telling him to meet up for a quick smoking session. He was also eager to tell Lucas what just happened.

Adrian was already in the bathroom. He looked annoyed and stress, as if he was ready to lash out at someone.

"What's the matter with you?" Manny asked.

Adrian took a moment to breathe. And then he told Manny about the strange girl he had met today.

***
"And then she called you an asshole? What a bitch." Manny said.

The guys were in the bathroom smoking Manny's Juul. Well just Manny and Lucas at least.

Adrian was feeling slightly better than from before when Manny came into the bathroom.

While the guys were conversating, Manny was trying to find a funny way to tell Lucas he'd just been partnered up with his step sister that he finds irritating.

After Adrian left, Lucas and Manny decided why not skip 4th period and chill in the bathroom.

"Guess who's my partner for my art assignment."Manny said with a big smirk on his face.

"Who?"

"Your sister."

Lucas eyes were opened wide. "Okay first don't call her my sister you dumbass, and second don't even try having sex with her you perv."

"Lucas what the hell, she's not even my type."

"Neither was Adriana and your hands landed between her legs." Lucas said folding his arms.

"Give me a break i was 14, you guys will never let it go." Manny said as he sighed.

"Look i'm just saying, don't get intimate with her, she's already took enough from me."

Manny laughed.

"Punch me in the face if you ever see me getting with a girl like that."
