Maggie's p.o.v.

       It's Tuesday morning and I just finished my literature class. I'm finally on my way to my biology class. I smile to myself a bit as I know I get to see him again. I think to myself about what he's going to wear today.
 
       When I get to class I sit in my usual seat for lecture. I take out my notebook, a pen, and a highlighter just incase. I still have about ten minutes until class starts and I just sit and look around and what everyone else is doing. I guess I'm a people watcher.  Everyone is just zoned out looking at their phones like usual though. Then I see him walk in. He takes a seat about 2 rows in-front of me and takes out his notebook and pen just like I did a few moments ago. I wonder if theres a way we will ever talk or cross paths of if I'll just spend my first semester watching him from the back of this biology lecture.

      Once class has about five minutes left our professor makes an announcement. "Okay class, like we talked about today I will be assigning you each a partner for your group projects."

       I forgot about that. Imagine if I get paired up with Conrad. Unlikely considering theres about fifty kids in this class.

      Eventually our teacher starts reading out the names who will be working together and I hear my name "Magnolia Calloway and Conrad Fisher"

       No. Fucking. Way.

       I mean a win is a win I think to myself.

       Our professor eventually finished reading the list of students who would be working together and announced that if we didn't know the person we were working with that we should introduce ourselves once class was over so we could start to work on our projects.

       Once class was over I mustered up the courage to walk up to him. "Hi I'm Maggie. You're Conrad right?" I say to him with a smile as he stands up from his desk. 

       "Yea that's me. So I guess we're partners for this project." He reply's with a small smile just like I did.

       " Yep. So um... do you wanna like exchange phone numbers for our project?" I say to him somehow finding the courage to take the lead on this conversation.

       "Yeah sounds good." He says as he reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone. He unlocked it and opened up his phone app to add a new number. He handed it to me and said "Just add in your number and I'll text you so you know it's me.  If that's okay with you?"

       I nod yes and smile "sounds good". I put my number in his phone and save the name as Maggie then give him back the phone.

       "Okay yeah so I'll text you later and then we can figure out a time to meet up so we can talk about the project." Conrad smiles.

         "Sounds good! See you later." I say back to him before we both make our way out of our biology classroom.

       After I'm away from him I smile and give myself a small pat on the back. I feel like luck really might be on my side right now. I'll take what I can get cause you never know how long that luck will last.
