Lab partners?

I walked into science class already bored of the school day. I get good enough grades to keep my mum happy but school is always at least a small part boring and i didn't have anyone in my science class. The teacher said something about a frog dissection which i think is utterly revolting but hey it's the american school system for you. I look around the classroom to find who i was going to partner up with but almost everyone had partnered up. Everyone except Finney Blake. I didn't know the boy too well we had a couple of classes together but science is the main one as he sat in the row in front of me. I felt quite bad for him when I seen the bruise on his face which was obviously quite recent.
"You got a partner?" I ask him even though it was pretty obvious he didn't. He looked at me, eyes widnes and mouth slightly open. "no, no i mean yes i don't have a partner" I laugh slightly at his stammering attempt of a sentence. As i sit down i feel his stare burning a hole into the side of my neck. I look at him and he tries to hide the fact that he was staring though he had made it quite obvious.
"Your sisters really cool by the way" I say.
"What" he asks
"sorry just realised how strange that was" I laughed "I meant this morning how she stood up to those guys, you were pretty cool as well i mean there's a lot of people who wouldn't have been able to take a punch like you did"
"oh thanks i think" he replied
"yea take it as a compliment i tend to ramble when i don't fully know what i'm talking about"
"Attention class, you and your partner should complete an essay for Monday on the book chapters 4 and 5" the teacher announces to the class.
"Is Sunday ok for us to do it?" Finney asks me.
"No sorry i have church on Sundays" i respond.
"We'll if your free tonight we could do it at mine if you want?"
"Yeah sure that'd be great"
"Ok then we'lol go straight to mine after school if that's fine with you"
"yeah that's cool i've just gotta phone my mum before we go"
The class ran on and me and finney continued to make small talk as-well as take notes when it came to the practical i almost barrfed up my lunch i felt horrible for the poor frogs. The bell rang and i told finney i would meet him out the front of the school at the end of the day as we still had one more class to get to. As we said our goodbyes i made my way to maths a slight smile on my face i don't know why but talking to finney had really made my day. He seems like your average shy boy who sits at the back of the class but he was actually quite funny and a good conversationalist .
