•IN SCIENCE CLASS•

So far everything's been good today at school. It's been normal and I haven't seen normal in a long time.

I look over at Jace sitting next to me. Being his lab partner isn't that bad. He's just really annoying sometimes.

"Hey Sam so are you sure you don't wanna skip studying today and go back to the mall? Ya know you loved it there." Jace says while nudging my shoulder.

"For the last time you're studying today it's for your own good." I say sternly.

"Oh yeah well about that..." Jace says nervously scratching the back of his head "...yesterday my math test came in the mail and let's just say that now you'll be tutoring me in two subjects."

I face palm. "Jace I think your actually really smart but you fail your test on purpose because you think it's cool, but it's not Jace. You have to really start passing these test because if you don't it could really cost you your future."

Jace laughs ands says something under is breath.

I give him a serious look "Jace what's so funny? And what did you just murmur?"

He continues laughing "I don't think you'd care why I was failing my test..."

I tilt my head "Why wouldn't I care?"

He stops laughing and looks me in my eyes "You just wouldn't okay."

I shrug my shoulders. If he doesn't want to tell me I won't keep asking him about it.

"So what subject do you wanna study today History or Math?" I ask.

"Um, I don't know. Nath?" Jace says.

I nod my head. I take out my book and start reading.

"So today I've really been thinking about some things, and I've decided that you're all mature teenagers and you should be able to choose your own lab partners. You don't have to switch if you don't want to. You all have 5 minutes to switch lab partners starting now." Mr. Griffin says.

Everyone gets up and moves around. I continue reading. I already know Jace is gonna leave me for one of his football friends.

As I read I continue to hear people moving around and talking but I stay where I am and wait for my new lab partner.

"Times up everyone settle down." Mr. Griffin says.

I look up from my book and look to my side. It's Jace. He's still my lab partner why didn't switch?

Jace puts out his hand. "Nice to meet you my name is Jace Norman and I'm your new lab partner."

I blush and shake his hand. "I'm Samantha Johnson."

He smiles. "Well hello Sam."

I grin. "That's not my name."

"I could've sworn that's was the name I read on your birth certificate though?" Jace scrunches up his face.

I laugh. "Shut up. Why didn't you switch lab partners?" I ask.

"Because since I'm your personality couch I kinda sorta thought that we need to be lab partners, so I can couch you in science class ya know if I needed to for some reason." Jace says.
