The English Project

Chapter 2

I looked beside me to see a blonde and extremely good looking guy who's Nick Blake my new project partner even though he didn't look so happy about it because he just put his face in his hands in frustration, Honestly I don't know why? Nick was kinda of an outcast, I see him around and know his name but never really talked to him and actually never saw him talking to anyone, he was always alone, he had the highest grades but never got bullied like a nerd or even like an outcast maybe because of his extremely good looks not that I'm with bulling or anything but whatever... being honest Nick was one of the mysterious people that I couldn't read at all despite my amazing skills in reading people even if I don't know them I always could read them but with Nick I just couldn't, all I could know is that the person in school is not the real him, that he's hiding his real character but I'll get to him we have to hang out weekly for the rest of the year and that's enough time for me.

As soon as I looked back at Mr. Nelson the bell rang indicating the end of the day, everyone left with their partners to hang out but my partner literally ran out the class so, I ran after him.

"Nick! Nick!" I called.

"What?" He asked or yelled to be more specific.

"I wanna work on this project! So my house or yours?" I said coldly which looked like it drove him crazy.

"Whatever, yours, mine no big deal!"

"Fine! Yours!" I said because honesty I didn't want Dad to be all protective and stuff, I can't stand it.

"OK!" He said and stormed away.

"Hey! Wait!" I shouted and he stopped.

"Now what?" He shouted.

"I don't know where you live, duh!"

"Fine! I'll give you the address" He pulled a notebook and a pen from his bag and began writing the address.

"I'm driving their" I informed him "I can give you a ride?"

"Fine!" He gave in.

We walked to the parking lot then to my car, I slipped in the driver's seat as he slipped in the passenger's, once we were ready to go I picked my phone and called mom

"Hello!" She answered.

"Hey! Mom!" I greeted her and glanced at Nick who is raising an eyebrow "I have a project and I'm going to my partner's house to work on it, OK?" I asked.

"OK! But call dad and take his permission"

"Mom! Come on! He's a boy and dad is just gonna go overprotective!"

"Ask your father, it's final" She said sternly.

"Fine!" I hung up and looked at Nick who still has an eyebrow raised.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing!" He looked out of the window.

I shrugged as I dialed dad.

"Hello!" Dad answered.

"Hi! Dad!"

"What's up?" 

"Nothing much" I paused "I have a project and I'm going to my partner's house to work on it, OK?" Please don't ask a boy or a girl!

"Your partner is a boy or a girl?" Damn!

"Boy"

"No, work in our house" He said sternly. Why couldn't mom just say OK.

"OK, Dad bye!"

"Bye" 

I hung up and turned to Nick not really knowing what I'm gonna tell him.

"So, I guess this is a no! Sorry, but we will work in my house" I said kinda of embarrassed because I chose to work in his house.
