I Think I'm In Love... With My Music Partner!? (ON HOLD)

Chapter 3: Partnered Up

Alex's POV:

Mac and I had finally made it to the other side of the school to where my locker was. Her locker was on back on the other side of school, but when we left the cafeteria she was able to quickly stop there to get her stuffso now that we're on this side, (aside the fact that our next class was just down the hall) I had the opportunity to get my stuff before heading inside. Once I got everything I needed out of my locker, I then immediately shut the door, locked it, and Mac and I headed back on our way towards class.

When we got to the door of our 5th period music class with the teacher "Mr. Chester", a medium sized, fat, and old white man, I opened the door and walked in right when the final bell rang informing that anyone who walked after it were gonna be marked late or "tardy". The entire class became silent and everyone in it turned their head's in my direction as I closed the door quickly and quietly behind me. "Don't worry Ms. Rodriguez, you came before the bell so your safe." Said Mr. Chester giving me a small warm smile. He is probably the second coolest teacher I have (the first is Mr. Montgomary). He was so far very kind and helpful towards me.

"Alright everyone, I want you guys today to find the partner I assigned each of you with yesterday. Your going to be sitting next to that person today so you guys can get working on your projects. So find your partner, find a corner or some place to sit, and lets get started." I was snapped out of my thoughts when those words came out of his mouth. I completely forgot about that project entirely. Yesterday he assigned the class a project to do, and went a little something like this...

* FLASHBACK*: ( yesterday)

"Okay class, today I'm gonna assign you guys a project. Unfortunetly I decided to give it to you in partners. So instead of working by yourselves for and 'easy A', your gonna be working TOGETHER with another person on this one". Everyone in the class cheered with excitement at the words that Mr. Chester said. Mentally though, in my head, I really was sighing out of sadness, because normally music comes so naturally to me and I work on my own with this kind of stuff, but working with others on a musical project is like new thing to me.

"Hey babe, how 'bout you and I get together as 'partners'? I bet I can make great music with you". Said some pervertive "jock behind me (Although I think he works for a "jerk" better than he does a "jock"). I just simply rolled my eyes in disgust as I turned around a said "how about NO? Make great music with someone who IS NOT ME!" He looked at me up and down a few times before giving me a grossly wierd smirk and said "okay, but this isn't OVER."

I noticed everyone asking each other to be partners, and sitting next to each other when Mr. Chester finally came out breaking everyone's conversations to say "I'M ASSIGNING THE PARTNERS ASWELL AS THE PROJECTS, SO EVERYONE GET BACK IN YOUR SEATS NOW." Everyone around me immediately sighed and went back to their seats immediately.

The teacher apparently divided the pairs by last names intead of fist, because I didn't hear me name until the "R"s. But, I did hear Mac's name first, and her partner's and when she heard her partners' name, she was livid. "Mac Acosta, you're with Blake Andrews." He said motioning "Blake" to stand, and that's when I realized that the so called "Blake" character was the perv sitting behind me. Mac let out a gigantic sigh just proving how much she HATED Blake, like I did. Blake motioned her to sit next to him, so she angrily got before giving me a sad look, and I gave her a sympathetic one as she sat down behind me.

 The teacher went through the names and pairs pretty quickly, then he got to my name and said "Ms. Rodriguez, you don't have a partneryed do you?" I simply shook my head indicating that I didn't. He stared at the paper a few times before looking around the class. "Do you want to be part of a group? Or do you want to work by yourself?"  He asked trying to find a place for me to work. Mac immediately started to tap my shourlder telling my to be part of her group with Blake. I was going to take her up on the offer, but I couldn't because of Blake. From the way he looked at me conversation we had a few minutes ago, there was no way I was going to work with him . I mean, I love Mac and all, but when it comes to someone as gross as him, sorry Mac but your on your own this time.
