The Project

Chapter 4- Give it a try

Dean's Pov

It had been a couple of days since Sierra's and Dean's tiff so after Dean returned from the gym with Thomas and got ready for bed, he decided since they had class tomorrow he should email Sierra. He wanted to talk about the project and address their disdain for each other. So, he grabbed his computer to email Sierra.

Email: From Dean to Sierra

Hi, it's Dean. It's clear we don't like each other, but I think we should move past it and get the project done.

After sending the email, Dean began eating and watching Attack On Titan while waiting for her to respond. He began nodding off until he heard his open computer ding lightly.

Email: From Sierra to Dean

While I don't like admitting this, you're right, we are being immature. Let's just do the project despite not liking each other. We have to sit together in class and I like the front so we should sit up there, see you tomorrow.

Dean read the email two times to make sure he read it right. Dean thought to himself, "we are being immature...I like the front so we should sit up there" First he doesn't think he is being immature and that she is the immature one. He was also confused on how she just decided that the both of them would sit at the front just because she wanted to sit up there. In that moment he was so annoyed he just wanted the scratch the first email and just write her fuck you but since he didn't want to seem immature he decided to write back and be cordial

Email: From Dean to Sierra

You might like the front, but I prefer the back so how about we compromise and sit in the middle. Also I'm free to work on the project at 5:30 tomorrow at the library.

After Dean sent the email he was over it and closed his computer. He decided to just go to sleep and see what happens tomorrow.

Sierra's Pov

Sierra received an email while she was writing all her due dates in her planner. The ding of the email interrupted SZA playing in the background. She rushed to her laptop to see who emailed her and it was Dean. She instantly rolled her eyes and was tempted to ignore the email, but remembered that the project was vital for her grade.

Email: From Dean to Sierra

She agreed with Dean but she did want to have to admit she did, but she did. She couldn't help, but respond with some sassiness.

Email: From Sierra to Dean

While i don't like admitting this, you're right, we are being immature. Let's just do the project despite not liking each other. We have to sit together in class and I like the front so we should sit up there, see you tomorrow.

She preferred to sit in the front to take in all the information that the professor's gave. She thought Dean would benefit from sitting in the front since in the back he obviously loved to doze off and not pay any attention. She thought the issue was put to rest and continued entering in dates in her planner until her computer dinged once again.

Email: From Dean to Sierra

You might like the front but I prefer the back so how about we compromise and sit in the middle. Also I'm free to work on the project at 5:30 tomorrow at the library.

Sierra was taken aback by Dean's email, she was used to getting her way and for him to challenge her it annoyed her. But she decided to just sit in the middle since Dean already thought she was immature; she thought it best not to push the issue further and throw a "tantrum" about it. She had no objections to the plan to work in the library tomorrow so she didn't respond to the email.
