A few weeks went by and everything was back to normal. Everyone forgot about me and Cindy. The Gentlemen's Club was not creating any problem for me. Noah stopped insisting me to get transferred. He actually didn't tried to talk to me after that. I think this is good for me.

I literally started enjoying my school life with my new friends without any worry. It became a normal and happy life. Well actually I cannot say happy cause there are a lot of assignments, extra classes, exams to go through.

Our History teacher entered the class.
"Good morning students. Today I have an important announcement to make. Firstly, as you all know that your exams are coming and for that all the teachers are conducting optional extra classes. So we are going to do the same, starting from next week you all will have extra optional classes for history. [ Class was filled by the student's annoyed comments.] Please be quite students. So as I was saying, I have another announcement to make. We are going to have a group project. You will be graded for this project so please take it seriously. The notice for the same is pinned on the bulletin board. Please go through it and feel free to ask if any query. Now let's continue our class."

Some were excited about this project while some wanted to report the school for abusing students by the burden of exam and project.  I wanted to do the same.
During lunch time we went to read the notice. According to the notice we have to make groups of 4-5 students and make a model and project on historical places with proper information related to that place. The last day of project submission is in this week.
We decided our group. I , Daphne, Ari, Lisa and Alisha wanted to rock this project together. We were discussing about what we can do for our project when we reached our floor and saw some students fighting. A huge crowd of students was gathered there.

But teachers managed to stop the fight and controlled the whole situation

But teachers managed to stop the fight and controlled the whole situation. When we all were forced to go in our respective classes I heard some girls gossiping about that fight.

"I can't believe this all happened for a girl."

"Ya true I mean she is not even pretty."

" I know right. She is just rich."

From the gossips we came to know that this happened because of a girl. Both the group leaders had crush on her and wanted her to be in their respective groups. "Lucky" I thought with jealousy.
Our history teacher entered in our class and the whole class turned quite. He was in a very tensed and angry mood.

"I guess you all are not capable to make groups on your own. So I am going to make groups randomly right now so that no further chaos could take place."

We all were sad that we won't be able to be in same group now. Everyone really wanted to kill those crack heads because of whom we have to split. Sir started making groups. One by one everyone were allotted groups. Then sir announced group 8.

" Group 8: Ray, Alan , Ari (she was blushing as usual), Daphne ( nooo don't tell me that I am going to be in different group please the last member have to be me) and Cindy ( but she is on leave for months can't I substitute her!!!!!)."

Now just 8 students were left which means 4 students per group.

" Group 9: Sam , Jenna , Noah and Emily ( nooooo way !!!!). Remaining four students are in Group 10."

" Yes I am so happy", Ari exclaimed.

"It's ok Emy, it's just a project. It doesn't matter that we are in different groups."

" I know Daphne but it is more than this. I don't want to work with any of them. I don't know Sam and Jenna. And about Noah , you know I have really bad history with him then how am I going to make project with them!?"

" Maybe you can go and ask sir to change your group. And you can join my group, I mean the girls in our group are mad for Noah so any of them will agree to switch places with you", Joshua had joined our conversation. [ He was in group 10]

" Well I don't think sir was in a good mood about this. That's why I don't want to complaint about my group."

Actually, for me working with Joshua was same as working with Noah. Both of them makes me feel uncomfortable.
In bus on the way back to home everyone were sitting according to their groups except me, Daphne, Joshua and Ari.

" Maybe we should sit with our groups too. I mean we don't have much time. We should already start working on our projects."

Well Daphne was right but I didn't wanted to join my Group 9.

" Hey , Ari and Daphne why don't you both join us? We are discussing about our group project", Ray and Alan called them.

" Hey , Ari and Daphne why don't you both join us? We are discussing about our group project", Ray and Alan called them

"Well you both should go."

"Are you sure Emy?"

"Yes I am", I tried to sound supportive.

They went to their group.

"So what should we do?"

"About what?"

" About our group and project!"

"Umm I an not sure. I just don't have good feelings about being in Group 9."

" Emily", suddenly a girl called me out. I looked back and found Jenna calling and coming towards me.

"Hey, I am Jenna. We are in same group. Don't you think we should start working on our projects like others are doing?"

" Ummm yes. I mean surely we should."

" Then I guess you can meet us tomorrow evening at Noah's house right!?"

" Noah's house!!" ( I exclaimed in fear)

" Umm ya. I mean we decided to meet at his house for project. Sorry we didn't ask you before making decision. If you have any problem with this you can tell me we will find new place."

" No that's alright( what else could I say) it's just I don't know where he lives."

" Ooh address, I thought you have problem with Noah. Well don't worry about address just give me your number and I will text you his address."

I gave her my number and she went back to her place.

" Why didn't you tell her that you are uncomfortable working with Noah?"

Well that was a nice question but actually I didn't know why I didn't asked her for help. Joshua was still waiting for my answer so I just gestured him that I don't know.
That whole night I was just thinking about what will happen next evening. Should I go or maybe I can just make up a reason for not coming. But till when will I make reasons!? I am part of that group and I have to help them with the project.

Why am I selected in this group. There were so many groups I could have been selected in any of them. Then why Group 9 !!!!
