---------------------------------------------------------

Jake was sitting at his desk, tapping his pencil on his lip as he was admiring with his eyes at Carrington that just entered the classroom.

He doesn't know why he has a crush on the hottest jock in school, he's mean to Jake anyway.

Carrington glanced at Jake, rolling his eyes. He walked over and placed his hand on the desk, looking down at him.
"What's up, nerd?"

Feeling intimidated, Jake tensed up slightly. Suddenly the other jock, Chase entered the class. "Yo bro!"

Carrington smirked, his eyes flickering to Chase before he looked back down at Jake. He leaned against the desk, his arm resting on the back of Jake's chair."Hey, Chase. You ready for practice later?"

"Totally! We got the homecoming dance this friday too, I'm totally stoked man!" Chase fist bumps Carrington as the two laughed and sat at their desks.

Jake sighed in relief when Carrington left. He looked down at his desk, bouncing his leg. All the other kids flooded into the room.

Some students gave Jake weird looks, before they minded their own business.

Jake wishes he had.. one person that understands him. Just one, - but he knew that wouldn't happen.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, he always felt that something was wrong with him but he couldn't figure out what it was. (undiagnosed autism).

The teacher comes in, and began to instruct the class.

Suddenly it was work-in-partner activity. Jake felt his heart drop. He wasn't good at working in groups, and also with no friends, that was gonna suck.

Carrington glanced at Jake, noticing the look of dread on his face. He smirked, knowing exactly what was about to happen. He raised his hand, volunteering.

"I'll take Jake."

Internally cursing, Jake just shrugged. He couldn't get out of it even if he wanted too. The teacher wrote their names on a chalkboard, 'JAKE + CARRINGTON.'

Chase groaned, "You're not gonna be my partner?! I'm gonna have to work with Mitsy? Your ex, man?"

Carrington chuckled, leaning back in his chair."Yeah, sucks to suck, man. At least you don't have to work with Jake."
He glanced over at Jake, a smirk still on his face. He knew this was going to be fun.

Then, they all got to work. Jake was trying to process the material of the worksheet on his desk. Carrington sitting next to him now with his own sheet and pencil.

Carrington was working on the worksheet, his eyes flickering over to Jake every few seconds.

He could see how much Jake was struggling, and it amused him. He leaned over, resting his chin on his hand.
"You need help, nerd?"

"Shut up, you work on yours and i work on mine. Not a group, just alone." Jake grumbled as he is answering a math problem.

Carrington rolled his eyes, amused by Jake's attitude.
"Aww, is someone upset? Can't handle working with the big boys?"
He chuckled, poking Jake's shoulder.

Jake looked at Carrington, "I'm forced to work with you." He replied, before looking back down at his work. "You better get yours finished or you're gonna fail."
