It was just another day in 8th grade. Class was boring as it had been all year. Class probably would have been better if I actually talked but that was something I didn't do. Maybe because I was scared but mostly because people are cruel. That day the teacher decided we needed to have partners. Great now I know that Sarah will be with Sophie and I didn't talk to anyone else really. There was a few guys that were okay but boys are even harder to approach. Everyone partners up within the first few seconds and I was stuck alone. Weirdly even though I hate talking the only thing I hate more is being alone. I look around and I see him the boy with blonde hair, amazing green eyes, and the cutest smile. I didn't know him but I wanted to. Knowing him ment talking and that is something I would mess up at. I walk up to the teacher to ask if I can work alone. I was too scared to talk to the boy. All I knew about him is his name is James. He was one of the cutest boys I've seen in jr. high. I went to finilize my lonely fate but the teacher said no. I have to have a partner apparently socializing is now apart of math. She scaned the room, I already had myself, but I let her hoping she will skip over him and let me stay shy. She sees him "go ask James hes smart honestly". Great now time to learn to talk to boys. Not even boys a cute boy who I don't want to look stupid in front of. I'm not ready for this today but I say "fine...". I walk over to the boy my stomach does flips as I try to stay calm. I get right up next to him tap his desk and he looks up at me with those amazing green eyes that make my stomach flip all over again. "Hi the teacher said we have to be partners." I get the words out quietly. God I'm stupid that sounded rude I'm a horrible person maybe I can just walk away and he will go back to his work. "Ugh do I have to" he grumbled. WHAT! I WALK ALL THE WAY OVER HERE TO HIM AND THAT'S WHAT I GET, I thought I was rude. Maybe he said it like that because I was rude either way no going back now. "Yea sorry but were partners".
