My eyes shot at James across the room, and my stomach knotted sickeningly. Here I Go Again by Jen Lancaster told me to never judge a book by its cover, however, I know a few people are an exception. As he leisurely strolled through the room as if he owned it, ( which is most likely the fact) the eyes of privilege glimmered in the sunlight. I didn't even know who the boy "was" when I first laid eyes on him, but one of my special talents is reading people. And this book was laced with gold and sapphire. I stared at my paper and back at him again. "Stop judging people, I have no idea who this person is, his demeanour can be so different if you get to know him." I thought positively.

"Ring!" A crowd of students exited their seats and trampled through the halls.

"Hey! The bell does not dismiss you I-" Mrs. Flemmings hollered, however no one cared to hear. As I quietly rose from my chair, I wondered if I should talk to him about the project.

Midterm Project: In-Depth Analysis of Ariel by Sylvia Plath Objective: PARTNER: Leandra Defiant. James Mountbatten - Windsor.

Windsor? Like the royal family? And what about Mountbatten, it could be a middle name. Maybe he has two dads and they couldn't decide whose surname to use, or it could just suit him. I know enough about the royal family to understand the queen's last name. However, I also learned that many royal children are homeschooled. "I'm overthinking again, aren't I," I thought as I began to skim through the syllabus.

I smirk, "I wonder if he would know any of those words," I cocked. "Now, where did he go..." James rushed outside likewise to everyone and stumbled around the fleet of students trying to get by. I try to squirm past however and barely make it through, finding James laughing with three other boys, one wore a tight navy blue polo shirt and beige pants that cut just above his knees. The other two tie their uniform blazers around their necks. "I look like a lost dog, I don't need to talk to him," I thought as one of them slammed his hand into the lockers. "No, I told my mom I would try to talk to people." I mustered up the courage to make a fool of myself, besides, it's not like this guy is a prince or anything.
