"Shit, shit, shit ..." I'm late. I'm cursed.
I didn't wake up late, I just managed to write my essays, fell asleep halfway last night and had to finish it this morning. Of course, no one cares about that, right ?
After a quick shower, half lunch , I ran as if I was a contestant of a marathon to University. English classes are awesome, but I can't be late for it. Aaaaaand here it goes, when you're late .... you're late. Bus ran over me even though I tried to wave at the bus driver who didn't even bother stopping a few meters after the bus station , I have to walk/run to Uni.
Being 10 minutes late in a class of 35 students isn't that invisible. After knocking to the door, apologizing for being late and of course sit in the first row, I understood the teacher was giving us projects for next week. Group projects. GROUP.

"Mia, since you're late, you don't gave a choice on who to go with and its chosen already, you are with Pierre and James." the teacher said while looking at me. And now all eyes were on me, how nice ....

"I'm not sure about that, can't I do it alone ?"

"I'm sorry but no, group projects Mia, I know you'll be good."

"But ..."

"No buts, you three come to me after class ends. End of the talk Mia". The teacher said to me, with a "stop taking class time now" look.

Ring bells, class ends and I always manage to have teacher talks. I can't have group projects. I just can't, I'm not sociable, and I don't plan to.
Packing my stuff, I head to the teacher.

"Listen Mia, you're a good student as they are, I don't see why it's bothering you that much to be with them, I put you with hard-working guys. It's not like they're going to let you do all the job. Plus you'll get to know them, I've noticed since you've been two years in my class, that you don't socialize much, take this opportunity. " the teacher said and sighed. He was looking at me hopeful, and the two guys were still sit, listening to the conversation.

"I know, but ..."  I started saying but with the teacher's look, I understood I should just drop the subject.

"I'll do it, but under my conditions." I said, sighed and headed to the two guys. The teacher started walking out of the classroom, said goodbye and here I was left with two guys I have no idea who they are, and how to start this and make a good project.

"As you know, my name is Mia. I suggest we exchange mail addresses and work this way if you don't see any problems with that. Also, I want to have a good grade on this project, so if one of you plan to not work on it, I won't tell, just let me know so I'll handle his part." I said while looking at them. I caught one having a smirk and looking at me and the other guy.

"I suggest, Mia, that we exchange phone numbers also. Easier to talk and quicker than mails. Also, me and Pierre are a 100% sure we will work on this project, so don't worry about it. Take it here." James said and wrote his number and Sam's on a paper along with their mail addresses. They both packed their things, said goodbye and left me on my own.
I followed quickly and walked behind them on my way out to University and caught a bit of their conversations.

"She's a pretty stuck up girl mate, why did you choose her ? It's not about getting a good grade, English is your second language, it's also about getting to know new people and stuff, this one is pretty messed up. You should've chosen Claire, she's sociable and easy to go."  Pierre said.

"Shut up Pierre. I just like challenges, it won't be that horrible. Claire is less interesting, she spends her life ranting about everything on Facebook, even her dog's food ! " James said while laughing.
