We literally sat there silently for a good five minutes whilst everyone else got on with the task, it was kind of irritating because he sat there chewing on a piece of gum without a care in the world.

Until I broke the silence

"Are we seriously not gonna do the task"

"Nope"

"She's not asking for much"

"There's no need for a Q&A"

I ignore his attitude and pick up one of the cards before reading the question, "Favourite hobby?"

"Shit question", West replies

"Ok well would you rather make your own one"

He sits up, "Ooh she's snappy too. Yes, I would"

I physically cannot deal with this guy and his random hatred towards me...

"Go on then"

Everyone is supposed to be getting to know each other in their pairs, I don't know why Mrs Phillips is doing this but she does it every single term and obviously I never minded because I was always with Indiah whom I know everything about. Things changed.

"Whats something not everyone knows about you" He reads

That's not even his own question...

"I can tell you something that you don't personally know. I'm not prestige"

He smiles sarcastically, "Cute. That won't cut it though I'm afraid"

"It's the truth"

"In your eyes-

"Ok so can you give an example? Tell me, what makes me so prestige"

"You look it"

I scoff, "That's not even a proper answer"

He shrugs, "So what. Anyway you're the one who wants to do the task, answer the question properly"

"I literally-

West raises an eyebrow and I screw him

"Well?"

"I don't have an interesting fact to share with you"

"Oh that's not true", Mrs Phillips chips in

"It is"

"Mind if I say one myself?"

I just look at her

She sits on the table, "Well Weston. Something you may not know about Amariah is that she's dyslexic"

He frowns, "You are?"

"I wouldn't say that's interesting", I say to her

"Well I'm sure he thinks so"

"Right...well that's something I only tell my friends"

She smiles, "We're all friends here"

West and I snort, "Sure"

"Oh nonsense, come on I want to see more interaction. Weston by the end of class she should be able to tell me three facts about you", Mrs Phillips says before walking away

I pick up one of the cards before reading from it

"What's your favourite home memory"

"What?"

"You know like with family....playing board games or hanging out on thanksgiving.... Christmas time?"

"What kind of question is that"
