I had just finished the final practice for the debate next week when the bell rang, i had Art next so i headed to C45 and unpacked my art kit.
I stood in line and waited for the teacher, she arrived shortly and we went into the room, we placed the stools on the floor and waited for approval to sit. She approved and we all sat.
"this term we are looking at experiences and how two people can perceive them differently, luckily we have an even number of boys and girls. So i have paired you up for the exam, which i will explain later, and your partner cannot be changed."
my art teacher rambled on some more, but my eyes shot directly to my friend Isaac we joined the class together, and the teacher knew we got along so we hoped she placed us together. After she finished her sentence, she turned on the projector and my eyes shot to the group lists. My face dropped.
I looked at Isaac and he shared the same reaction, we got placed with people we haven't ever spoken to. I got placed with the golden boy of Melbourne state high school, Oscar Piastri, Isaac got placed with Jen, she was on the debate team and she was a gossip but she was at least nice sometimes.
Oscar had never even looked at me and now i have to spend the next term with him. No, sorry he has looked at me, when his girlfriend barged into me and made me drop my things because i got soccer captain and she didn't. I moved my stuff slowly, while everyone else moved quickly and happily. I sat next to him, he was asleep, his head resting on the desk.
"Oi, wake up" i whispered nudging his arm and rolling my eyes. What's the point in being in the class if your gonna fail? he lifted his head, looked at me and sat up.
"What do you want?" he said abruptly and rudely.
"Well sorry for interrupting your beauty sleep, you tosser, but we have to work together this term and i wont fail because of you." i said staring him up and down.
"tosser? real nice" he said thumping his head back on the table.
"did i stutter, i have had a problem with that since you and your girlfriend barged into me you know." I opened my folder and pulled out my sketchpad.
"Your such a good soccer player you should be able to deal with that hey?" he said i felt anger fuming inside of me. I looked at him and pulled the leg of his chair, causing it to upturn and fall. He fell on the ground and i couldn't help but laugh.
"Miss, she just pushed me off my chair." He shouted out shocked.
"outside, Maya now."
i walked out of the room with beads of laughter still in my eyes. She followed me out and shut the door.
"Maya i expect more from you, i don't care what he said, just don't, you know your my favorite the only one who actually cares about this class, don't screw it up for yourself" She said with a disappointed look on her face.
"I'm sorry miss, he just, is selfish and i wasn't thinking, it wont happen again" i replied she nodded and we went back inside.
Everyone was chatting and he was at in his seat with a bright red expression. I sat back in my seat and opened my sketch book. I felt him staring at me, I opened up to a page i had been working on, the teacher walked pass, handing out agendas and exam planners.
I took mine and he took my sketch book. I snapped my gaze to him, "What are you doing, give that back you idiot, you'll ruin it." i went to snatch it back but he had already started sketching.
"You missed this detail, you need to add the shading here or it looks wrong" he had added to the car i had been drawing, and even though i wanted to feel mad i was secretly impressed.

"whatever, give me my book back." i snatched it back and shuffled further away, I finished the drawing and put it in my portfolio.
I pulled out a second drawing to finish for an extra credit. After awhile the lesson ended, and Oscar and I were asked to stay back.
"Seeing as you two aren't best buddies yet, I am forcing you to spend an hour after school with each other, i don't care what you do just don't kill each other, you have no choice by the way otherwise you fail." Our teacher said with an obnoxious grin on her face.
