Innocence In Darkness

Why My Group!

Today's the day we get in groups, and start working on the project. I felt excited , and nervous at the same time for one reason I had no idea of what to expect, however I'm not gonna lie I had a good feeling about this project for some reason I mean what can possibly go wrong ?

"Okay next group is Ashley, Tim, Ben, and Ana that's it so go on get in your groups." our teacher finally announced, after that I got up to move to the table, where all three members in my group were standing next too.

"Hey Ashley right, I'm Ana I think we have science together." said the only other girl in the group, she was a bit too friendly, but who am I to complain about that, anyhow I sat down. Then after we spent three quarters of the class either zoned out or discussing who's going to do what. The unthinkable happened.

"How did you mange to not get anything done?"said the teacher.

" Mr.lock we tried, but Sam and Keith just won't pay attention."cried one of the students in their table.

"You know maybe I've made a mistake peering you guys." after a moment of silence he finally continued "Ana come here you'll be joining their group, and Keith go to Ana's group."

At that moment I wanted to cry. It felt as if someone kicked me in the stomach.

"Oh come on. Not him why him! Crap maybe the teacher thought since we got so much work done we'll be able to get him to do some work, but that's going to be impossible." I thought to myself then I quickly snapped out of it and tried casually to look over. When I did, I saw him getting up, and walking towards us. I don't know if he was just staring in our direction, but it kinda seemed like he was looking at me, or at least that's what it looked like in my point of view.

He came over, and sat down. At that point none of us had said anything yet.

"So now what?" Asked Tim.

"What was that chicks part I'll do it, so we can get this over with. " Keith said with a low tone of voice that suggested it was less of a statement, and more of an order.

"Okay. I guess problem solved." laughed Ben. I didn't know Ben that well, but I'm pretty sure he was a jokester, which kinda made him even more likable.

"Well it's kinda more complicated she had a big part." Keith cocked an eyebrow at me, then before I could finish the bell rang, so he started to walk away.
"But wait you still don't know your part, and you have to get your part done to a certain point so we can actually finish before the dead line, cause we don't have a lot of time!" I said it so fast that I don't even think half the words came out.

"Okay kid, but the class is over so what do you want form me?"

" I don't know maybe you could work on it after school" he sighed then he finally gave in, but then out of nowhere he tore a piece of paper from my book and grabbed the pencil that I was holding. It looked like he wrote something down, then he gave me back the paper with what looks to be an address written on it.

"Meet me there at exactly 5:30." then he was gone before anything came out of my mouth.

I was sitting in my next class, when it finally came to me that this guy asked me to meet him after school in a place that I have never heard of, not to mention I didn't even trust him, I mean who says he's even going to do any work, for gods sake I don't even know if he's going to show up, I don't even know if I should go, or not. Not to forget he didn't even give my pencil back.
