[¥]Chapter 2[¥]

¬£¬Small World¬£¬

“Okay class we are scheduled to start the second unit now, but seeing as how it’s a very long chapter, I have decided to break it up into sections and make it a little more interesting. Therefore, I have chosen your partners for you. Each of you will pair up and I’ll assign which topic and section you two are to cover.” Ms. Hale, our Chemistry teacher, announced and the class all started throwing complaints about the situation. Many of us, including me, was against the idea of her choosing partners. “Okay then how about this. I tell you, your partners and if you do not like them then I will allow you to switch; only because I’m feeling generous today. But, you only get to switch once, so choose your partners wisely.” Some agreed and others stayed quiet. It does not matter to me as long as I can pass and not have Christina Miller as my partner. I could not stand her with my whole being. The things she did to me, makes me want to crawl in a hole and never come out.

This bell needs to ring like right now. I drifted off into space as she began reading off the names of the partners she paired up. I snapped out of it when I heard who my partner was. “Miller and Bright, Thomas and Bradshaw, Sprinkle and Moore, Sparks and Duncan. We also have Burgess and Forman, Mosley and Brown, Edmonds and Floyd, and Austin and Harrison. Now can you please move to your partners?” Kill me now. I thought to myself. She paired me up with the one person I didn’t want to be with, Christina Miller. Does God hate me right now? I hate her so much. I know hate is such a strong word, but that is how I feel about her. She humiliated me in front of the whole school two years ago and I was never able to live it down the next year. That is probably another reason why everyone has been treating me like something off the streets.

I just sat there not even worrying about this class anymore. I just wanted to get out and go home. Christina came over and sat in the desk next to mine with the fakest smile she could put on. “Hi.” she said. She was known to be the high-class chick every girl wanted to be or be friends with, not me. I didn’t want anything to do with her anymore. She turned her back on me and now I’m the laughing stalk of the school.

“Hi” I said dryly. I just hated being with her or around her, it makes my skin crawl. Chris and I used to be close friends until one summer in middle school when I had a pool party for the end of the year. Michael Dior came and Chris had the biggest crush on him, she wanted me to talk to him to see if he likes her, but turned out he liked me instead. I kept talking to him to get him to see that Christina liked him, but he said she was just too fake for his liking and that he didn’t do fake, which was why he liked me instead. Michael was cute and I had a small crush on him, but it wasn’t enough for me to betray my friend. Besides she liked him much more than I did, I kept trying to explain to her what he said; skipping over the fact that he liked me instead. All I did was suggest she change her ways a bit so she could get his attention, but he ignored her and kept paying me more attention. After that, our friendship started to slip away and we became distant from one another.

“Now if you would like to switch partners raise your hand.” Many people, including Christina, raised their hand. She shot her hand up so fast you would think something was wrong with her. “Okay. I will start with Alexis. Who would like to switch with Alexis?” No hands went up, but then a brave soul raised their hand. It was Michel Sparks; I hated him with a passion as well. I was sure he was going to try his best and be my partner so he could use me. Michael is the type of slacker that will try to have the class nerd as a partner so he could get a better grade by doing absolutely nothing. To be honest I would rather be paired up with him then Christina any day. “Okay, Sparks and Sprinkle. Who’s next?” Ms. Hale asked making a note of the partners that have switched. Of course, Christina raised her hand. I was happy that she wanted to change partners, but then again sad. I knew no one would want to change with her, I mean would want to be my partner? No hands went up. I got kind of scared and mad at the same time. I did not want to be stuck with her, she would do everything she can to humiliate me once again, and I’ll be stuck doing the project. I do not care who I get as long as it is not her. However, a small part of me hoped we got stuck together, it could possibly give us a chance to actually sit down and talk and see exactly what went wrong in our friendship. Yeah right. I thought to myself. That’s like asking a sky diver to jump out of a plane with no parachute.
