Different Worlds

"Where is that damn jacket!?" I'm already 20 minutes late for school and the last bus is gonna be here in 5 fucking minutes. I have searched this entire room and I can't find it. I grab my bag and storm into Vicki's room. Of course I find my jacket in there, underneath her drunken body, covered in a pool of her drool. I shove her body off of my jacket, wipe the drool onto her cocktail dress, and rush out of the house. The rain hits me hard, and I throw the hood over my head. I just barely make it on the bus just as its about to pull off. I can at least make it to 2nd block. Hopefully I can explain to Ms. Garcia why my drunken, excuse for a human being mother, was the reason I missed 1st.

Mason's P.O.V
"What a slut." Natalie Hilton spends all her time riding my dick, and when I don't give her what she wants she goes around sucking everyone else's. But of course my mother wants me to pretend I'm into her because if I pretend I am, her parents and my parents can become in laws and make even more money that they're eventually going to do nothing with. "Oh my god, Mason! I love that shirt on you, it looks really hot on you." Her arms are wrapped around me and she's nibbling on my earlobe. I could push her off and scream fucking murder. But I'm not stupid, I have felt the wrath of  my pretentious mother already and it's not a feeling I plan on experiencing again in this lifetime. "Thanks, and may I say that cheerleader skirt is hugging you in all the right places, as always." I wrap my arms around her and suck on the small area behind her ear. I can hear her softly giggle against my cheek. "So, you wanna be my plus one to Ryan's bonfire at the shore Friday night?" she wraps her arms around my neck and moves my hands to her waist. "I wish I could, but Mr. Reynolds has some big end of the semester project planned that he wants us to devote all our time and energy to." Technically this is the truth because he does have a big assignment planned for us, I just don't know how time consuming it really is. Are you serious!?" She starts doing that sickening puppy dog face that I hate. "Can't you just take this one night off?" she whines even louder. "I really wish I could babe. But I have to pass this class or Princeton is out of my future for good, and you know how important Princeton is to me." I give her my devilish smolder and my puppy dog face as I place my hand under her chin. I know my somewhat good looks are the only weapon I truly have against her. "Fine. But you better call me, you know what happens when I start to miss you." she smirks and shoves her tongue down my throat before walking off to class. I never have any clue of what she's talking about, and frankly I don't care. I slide through the doors of my 1st block just in time to hear the bell ring, and say the pledge of allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the flag, of the United States Of America...

Kat's  P.O.V
I busted out of the attendance office and walked as fast as I could to my 2nd block. I ended up lying and saying I had a doctors appointment. It's amazing how many times I've used that excuse and yet they've never thought to question it. I walk into 2nd block just as the final bell rings. I take me seat in the very back corner of the classroom. Mr. Reynolds walks in exactly 2 minutes late, as he always does. "Good morning class." He starts. "Today is the day people! Today is the day I give you your award winning assignment!" He's been talking about this oh so amazing assignment for a month now. "Before I fill you in on what you'll be doing, let me make one thing very clear. THERE WILL BE NO SWITCHING PARTNERS. You will be evaluating each other in front of the entire class and the end of the semester, so I wouldn't take this as a joke." "Um Mr. Reynolds! How much is this project going to be worth?" Mari Rodriguez called out. I have hated that girl for as long as I've probably been alive. She's always been such a ass kisser. She always has her lips glued to a teacher's ass. "It will be worth 60% of your finally grade, Ms. Rodriguez. Do you mind if I continue explaining the assignment?" That is why I love Mr. Reynolds. He refuses to allow ass kissing in his class. " Go ahead sir." She mumbled quietly.

Mason's P.O.V
That is why I love Mr. Reynolds class. Mari loves to kiss ass, and he refused to let her. I love it. "As I was saying, you will be paired with a partner, of MY choosing. Your assignment will be to learn any and everything you can about the other person. Learn about their family, their culture to be specific. This assignment is going to be all about learning and understanding things from a different perspective". He paced around the room as he spoke. "You will understand the world through your partners eyes. By the end of this assignment you should be able to stand in front of the class and share what you've learned, and how the other person has impacted you. Visit each other's homes, favorite places. This is a people's skills exercise.  So don't expect to be able to text each other "what's your favorite color" and expect an A". I don't really see the point in this assignment whatsoever, but I need the grade. I can't afford to fail.

Kat's P.O.V
This assignment honestly makes no sense to me, but it sounds like a pretty easy "A" so its whatever. "Now I will read the names for the partnerships." Ms. Rodriguez you will be with Mr. Samuel. Mr. Danforth you will be with Mr. Martin. Ms. Beverly, you will be with Mr. St. James. I literally freeze when he calls my name, and when he says who I'm being partnered with.
